This one was weak and mostly dead anyway, it's a good thing the neighbor decided to store his RV for the winter or it would have sustained some damage.

NJwx85 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Quite a bit of LL shear just off the NJ coast and especially over LI to go along with 500-2000 J/KG of MUCAPE. Could definitely see an isolated wind damage/tornado threat developing over coastal areas. In terms of more areas of heavy rain today, the radar should continue to fill in with embedded areas of convection. It looks like the LLJ might be just a tad further East than expected. Have to see if that firehose stalls overhead or if the everything is more progressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
