Iso SVR late today, with a wind event Friday (mainly 2P Fri-2A Sat 4/30-5/1)

[wdrag]

Please follow NWS (SPC/local offices) for additional information on the late Thursday afternoon-evening SVR threat. Confidence on SVR late today is less than a CAA wind event for late Friday.  

Used HRRR/EC/3KNAM for main guidance,  Richardson # projects strongest wind transfer of a descending jet Friday evening, after sunset.  Whether that occurs?  However lapse rates do increase substantially with the arrival of the cold pool aloft allowing opportunity for damaging wind gusts late Fri-Fri eve. 

No time for graphics-please follow up as you think best. This thread should serve as the thread for any damage reports.

For the record: You saw last evening's local storm reports for damage ne PA, extreme nw NJ which did result in a power outage here in Wantage around 830P with max G 37MPH.  Rainfall total was .19, most of that in 20 minutes.  Todays total now over .54" as we  make up for below normal April rainfall.

Over this way last night had 0.18 with only a rumble of thunder. Event total ( includes last nights ) 0.24 as of 6am.

.27” event total thus far out here, no thunder. 60/58

Downgraded to marginal risk for everyone today. Makes sense since this threat was pretty conditional overall and without much of a chance for instability the jet is the only thing that’ll generate much in the way of storms. Tomorrow’s wind threat will be the bigger issue, easy advisory gusts for everyone

From OKX morning AFD:

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
The cold front will move east of the region on Friday with a
tight pressure gradient developing. Gusty conditions on Friday
can be expected with gusts reaching 40-50 mph by Friday
afternoon into the first part of Friday night. A few isolated
peak gusts to 60 mph can not be ruled out. With peak foliage
occurring across parts of our region would expect to see some
tree damage with this event. At this time, we do not think wide
spread wind gusts will reach high wind warning criteria, however
it is likely wind advisories will be issued later today for the
entire region.

radar looking juicy over western PA, but apparently nothing severe.

[wdrag]

Interesting shear this eve and unstable. Pre event shower-glob may nix this eve Severe risk but not dismissing if TSTMs develop.  On the job so no time to check except cursory look. I may add something this eve but cannot add further til then. Have a day

[bluewave]

While the forecast soundings are indicating only modest CAPE, the seasonally high PWATS signal the chance for some much needed rainfall. Maybe some locally strong to severe  storms if we can destabilize more than forecast with the decent shear. But most will be happy to get a soaking downpour.

Nice little squall line making it's way through central PA on radar.

Yup looks like third wave incoming.

[weathermedic]

Warned storms for Monmouth and Ocean counties in NJ and heading northeast.

[stemwinder]

Period of rain tailing off now.  No lightning.  West windsor/Princeton area.

 

 

[Cfa]

I’m soaked. Short lived but much needed downpour. 0.20”.

whole lot of nothing, lets see what the wind brings.

Same here - .01 on the day.  I wasn’t expecting an inch of rain today however today’s precip total definitely falls into the bust column.  Radar as of now does not look too promising.  Let’s see how we do with the predicted winds tomorrow.

[wdrag]

Quick check at 525A/30:  Axis of strongest winds aloft appears to be NYS/NJ to far w LI. Richardson # via 3K NAM says best chance of transfer 40-45 KT (ridges Poconos 50kt), is 8P-1A. NAM FOUS BL wind fcst (06z/30) suggests marginal for 40kt NYC east, with best chance in our area for sct 40 kt NJ/PA/Catskills. Still could see iso 50 kt, but thinking on that is only ridges  wnw of NYC.  Follow OKX/PHI statements.  

[bluewave]

Lapse rates really steepen next few hours. 45KT in the mixed layer should  produce gusts to 50 mph + by later this afternoon. Then a 50KT LLJ arrives this evening with the potential for some peak gusts to around 60 mph.

Wind picking up here already. There could be plenty of wind damage reports later if the expected higher gusts are realized.

[gravitylover]

Wind is up here on the hill. Most stations are 6-10mph sustained with gusts between 13-20 but with almost full leaf out most of those stations are below treetop level so not fully exposed and giving low numbers. Treetops are bending significantly and you can sense, if not hear, that roar. Branches down in 3, 2, 1...

Yeah it's a little gusty. 

Widespread 45-50 mph gusts seem like a lock given the lapse rates. Not sure we'll get to 60 mph though.

The timing is a little off in terms of best mixing. 

[bluewave]

Jones Beach already gusting to 46 mph.

Good morning gl, I heard the roar in the treetops above the row houses. Now it’ll be ‘sycamore branches incoming’ ..... pail covers outgoing. As always ....

[gravitylover]

Crack... It's starting.

[SI Mailman]

Hearing thunder here. Looks like its from a cell that is popping up over Elizabeth.

[LibertyBell]

There was hail and very heavy rain here for  a period, like 2 Sundays ago, and a weird pungent smell of rain I haven't smelt in awhile

why are they predicting stronger winds in NJ and PA?  They have a High Wind Warning there, usually the coast has the strongest winds because it's flat land.

why wouldnt there be a secondary maximum over the coastal regions, which are flat?  I thought it was puzzling the High Wind Warning was to our west.

 

[MJO812]

Rain and wind right now in Brooklyn NY

[wdrag]

Wind reports are adding up:  45-near 50KT vicinity NYC, and this without the coldest core-strongest wind, yet. 

 

Graphics added at 338P.  This is turning into a high Wind event due in part to leaved trees. Maybe a few folks see small hail or flurries late today/tonight n of I80 in NJ/se NYS/PA and CT?
