OBS thread for thunderstorms with heavy rain, possibly hail and damaging wind now til ~6AM Tuesday at the latest, mostly this Monday evening.

[wdrag]

Nowcasting the the frontal boundary period of strong thunderstorms w heavy rain, lightnng strikes, hail, mainly along and south of I80 this evening.  NYC seems to be on the north fringe but worthy of monitoring.  There may be a second batch after 1AM Tuesday?

[wdrag]

Rain has started Wantage NJ. Warnings down I80 and it looks like pretty decent rainfall headed for the city.  Maybe it will reach 3/4"????

Constant lightening. Heavy rain.

Good luck to all. I'm in Kansas so I'll be missing it

Sampling of 1" amounts from wxunderground as of 910PM. nw NJ Belvidere to Hackettstown area. Think SPC did a very nice effort on picking this event out for PA/NJ,  AND so did the GFS almost cyclically. EC had some nice high TT and the 18z/13 NAM was quite eyeopening for NYC and NNJ-still on trop tidbits.

Thanks. Radar looks great .... looks as if our area is about to get pounded.

Added the 18z/13 NAM and even better, the 18z/13 HRDPS qpf. Purple gets you to 2".  All this by sunrise Tuesday.

Can hear thunder in the distance here near the Costco in Flemington.  Looks like my house is getting it good up in Central Warren County at this hour.

HRDPS was very-very cyclically consistent in its previous 4 cycles for this going I80-I78 event. NAM was all over the place N and S.

Unfortunately, it won’t take too much rain to trigger flooding.

WOW. This is the most intense t-storm we've had in several years here. North wind gusting 60 to 70mph and pea sized hail. Can't remember seeing wind this strong from a t-storm here for a long time. You can barely see outside with the torrential rain blowing sideways. Lots of lightning too. Amazing storm.

[BlizzLuv]

Started with heavy rain here and now the rain is lighter but a few intense lightning strikes

[winterwx21]

The temp was 79 before the storm, and is now down to 65.

Looking at my front door cam the lightning looks almost constant

Woodbridge looks like it’s getting slammed right now

Wild weather in Carteret. What a light show! And pouring.

Yeah, a ton of lightning. But the wind was the biggest story here. It's been a long time since a t-storm has delivered wind gusts over 60mph here. The pounding sound against the north side of my house (rain and hail) was incredible.  We were lucky to not lose power from this storm.

[SnoSki14]

Wow really nice storm rolled through. One of the best of the summer. 

[SI Mailman]

Getting it here now.  Loud clasp of thunder right outside my window

[Maureen]

I can’t recall lightning this intense and constant. And a rumble just moved through that shook the entire house.

[stemwinder]

Looks as though we got sideswiped here - some thunder from Princeton next door, and a bit of rain.

Heavy rain with thunder and lightning  here in Brooklyn 

[lee59]

Just had a flash of lightning and thunder here, did not expect it this soon.

Flying around the northern end earlier this evening

[stemwinder]

Radar shows it hitting N Monmouth County in NJ.  Looks intense.

Rolling thunder
