Wow. Starting to think the more intense impacts up here will be possible given the accelerating speed of it and it not weakening as much as normal over land due to the trough interaction 

[NJwx85]

Recon found FL winds of 117kts.

Agreed on poor mesoscale modeling via the NAM/ARW.  Second slug in VA will find its way up into e PA maybe NJ overnight.  If we get a subtle sic wind convergence zone,  could easily be some 4+ inch amounts by morning. Not staying up to witness...instead get up at 4A and see what's what.  Busy day for NY forum tomorrow including the big damaging winds (fully leafed trees)/rains/FFW's. Could see widespread power outages in the afternoon/eve.

Am aware of svr leading edge this eve in NJ heading north on the nose of the 850jet/fgen/waa but just didn't have the heart to get this mixed in as well...  too much other high impact weather ahead. The TOR's could be a problem tomorrow, if they occur coastal NJ/LI/CT.

It’s developing an inner eyewall on radar.

If we get a quick inch or two overnight that will soften up the ground for more absorption with tomorrow’s heavier downpours and combined with the winds will have an impact on tree uprooting.

charge those phones fellas lol, rain on my door step sitting by the window like a kid on christmas for a thunderstorm

[ARyan]

Got a good first taste here in Long Beach. Probably 20-30 mph gusts. Now I'm wondering if the flashes are lightning or power flashes...

I'm going to the ocean tomorrow to take video

[MJO812]

TWC had a graphic of power  outages 

They had the coast highlighted  as widespread

Be careful 

[Rjay]

Wild storm.  

[lee59]

Thunderstorm moving thru with fairly strong winds.

75 mph at Berkeley Twp, which I think is co-located with the Toms River AWOS at Miller Air Park. So they definitely corroborate each other. 

[Cfa]

Just got ridiculously windy out of nowhere.

That always the risk. We are lucky this isn't a strong 2 right now or you would be looking at 100mph plus gusts and not  the that's 80mph possible across the shore line.

The forward speed getting caught in the jet was always the concern for this holding its field all the way to 40N 

[tdp146]

Was at the gas station and got half way through filling up and the power blinked from this thunderstorm. Already a few small branches down (one was not so small). If this is a sign of things to come we are in trouble. 

[NJwx85]

This line was really well modeled on the 12z guidance.

The thunderstorm is meh.  The winds are awesome though. 

[Nibor]

It's been almost 8 years since Sandy. That's a long enough time elapse for trees that were not vulnerable then to be vulnerable now. That is if the winds verify as strong as they're being forecast. Could be pretty substantial tree damage.

Yeah it wasn’t modeled to be severe, just the beginning of much more to come.

Its probably on the verge of being a Cat 2.

Yeah, rain is probably moderate with it here. Edit-never mind, now torrential but wind died down.

I wonder how the models overnight will incorporate the strengthening happening now. It won’t have much time to weaken before it’s here.

Lost power 

[nycsnow]

Mine flickered but luckily came back on. 

[David-LI]

0z NAM showing with stronger winds for the coast this run it seems. Can any1 confirm? I'm terrible at reading maps, specially being colorblind
