The tag features the damaging wind in the dry air, especially mid-late Friday afternoon at the warmest time of the day.  

The severe tag is low risk (Marginal part of the area as per SPC D2 outlook).  There should be bands of heavy showers, isolated embedded thunderstorms,  moving east northeast across the area between 5A-2P, but the inverted or isothermal sounding should limit transfer of gusts during the morning. However, he last possible line along the cold front midday-early Friday afternoon might allow for isolated SVR as the sounding becomes more unstable to the surface? 

Please add Friday guidance and reports for Friday's event to this thread, keeping OBS and NOWcast embedded within this thread as well.

Looks like peak gust potential to around 60mph with the cold front on Friday.  High temperatures usually beat guidance in these situations. So the warm spots in NJ may may get close to 80°. This will set up very steep low level lapse rates and deep mixing to 800MB or higher. 70s could easily push out to Long Island as the flow becomes WSW allowing deep mixing there also.

...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM FRIDAY TO MIDNIGHT EDT

* WHAT...West winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph
  expected.

  Connecticut and southeastern New York.

Some max gusts to 60 or so are probable and if any HWWs get hoisted it comes down to where best mixing is

Thanks for the added info, all!  I see the WA as the more common thread, but am definitely interested in damaging wind 50KT.  Seems as if mixing forecasts have slightly lowered a bit in todays cycles.  Think virtually all the area is good for a 40-45kt gusts with the typically sheltered tree loaded areas less, but hilltop crowns may do very well. Has to get into the 70s to make this work well.

Will convert this to an OBS-NOWcast thread Friday around 630A.  Will not be posting 7A-3P tomorrow. 

Thanks again, Walt

NYC airport, JFK, LGA, EWR all in the range of 45-51kt the past 90 minutes.  

 

Added this from 257PM.  Strongest winds were west of Apps but imo, the NAM HRRR sounding was maybe grabbing 5 kt too much. Multiple other models were more conservative including applying the Richardson # to the 3KNAM which hesitated to get more than 900MB.  Not an A thread for sure, but its'still cranking til maybe 9 or 10P.

Republic airport in farmingdale gusted to 51 mph at the latest hourly observation, we probably have peaked at around 50-55 mph here in Lindenhurst as well, judging by how strong the wind seems. I live right under the flight path to one of the runways at Republic and there have been quite a few go arounds today

I believe it. Trees swaying a good bit the last few hours.
