Even hrr has gust around 70 after midnight.

Not saying that can’t happen at some point. Just saying the NAM isn’t right, we aren’t getting gusts to 60 right now lol

Just checked hrrr says we should be gusting 45-55 give or take right now 50-60 on nam most models are within few mph of eachother. This is the most consistency I’ve seen in a while models have had this for a week now

Looks like NYC's turn at some heavy rain within the hour:

[Intensewind002]

Wind is coming in waves, 5 minutes it sounds really windy outside, the next five it's pretty calm. Highest gust I've recorded so far is 44 mph now, but overall a majority of gusts have been in the low 30s in the past 2 hours. We'll see what happens when the rain moves through, only picked up a trace today so far

[NJwx85]

Power just went out here for about 30 seconds and then came back.

[MJO812]

Lots of lightning just off the coast of the Carolinas and south of there. Another couple of lightning strikes a short time ago just to the east of Cape May. Looks like 2 squall lines with a 3rd forming near the rain to snow transition area in the southern end of the system. Barometer dropping like a rock. Down to 29.70.

[nycsnow]

Wind driven rain looks tropical outside 

[NJwx85]

Extensive damage here to my Christmas decorations.

[NJwx85]

Power just flashed here again.

[Intensewind002]

Just heard some thunder outside

[Rjay]

Saw a flash of lightning off to my southwest.

[dWave]

Looks wild outside. A couple parking signs took flight. Anything loose is on the move. Sideways torrential rain

[kat5hurricane]

The wind has been gusty all evening and been roaring the last few hours especially once the rain hit around an hour ago.

Oh and Merry Christmas to everybody.
