gpsnavigator Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Strong storm with lots of lightening is rolling across me now in Sparta. It's severe warned, but so far seems to be staying below severe threshold. It looked like a healthy bow echo coming across the Delaware River, less so now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good almost evening Will. Your services, with that degree, will be in constant demand as the protein shortages increase. As always …… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside of my car sitting in the sun for 2 hours is more representative of NYC and manhattan than knyc is.

IMBY (Piscataway) it was clear today and a 7P-2A 20% chance. i'm just saying in general, we had 30% chances Monday and Tuesday and the resultant storms covered a much more significant swath of the area, plus they didn't extend the watches either day and IMO they probably could/should have. when i think 30% chance i'm thinking some isolated cells or something not the kind of fairly robust MCC's we saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dWave Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 High 97 till t storm raced in right now, down to 91 heavy rain, windy, lots of lightning. Spent a week in FL and I acclimated to it so this heat kinda feels just run of the mill lol. Its never above about 92 there but dew points permanently 77 - 79 makes low 70s dewpoint feel slightly refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be a park because otherwise there's risk of development like any other location in Manhattan, any thing from a pizzeria to a skyscraper next door, or a subway below, tarnishing decades of records. Maybe they keep the overgrowth as an eco-barrier to better represent the climate prior to urban sprawl, and throw out the idea of a "new norm" *shrugs* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerinthe Major Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 NW Nassau (Port Washington) here, very quick storm but extremely intense. Tons of lightning and wind, though not a huge amount of rain. Downed trees everywhere. My husband had to drive on someone's lawn to get home. Our power is out. It was sunny after 5 before it happened and it's sunny again now. But! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Storm blew up only to collapse like 2 radar revolutions later. I’ve been ignoring Special Weather Statements and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings all summer, although this one fooled me for a second when it started strengthening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're directly across the Sound from Orchard Beach, so I suppose it was an extremely local intense event.
