Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
what a beautiful day and pleasant evening!! hit 85* today at 76* now with a light breeze. you may say weather is boring now unless you went to water park today and just had a nice dinner in backyard with family as i did. this kinda weather is priceless, esp in summer when we can get outdoors, and a lot more of it on the way! BTW if you think we have boring weather, heading to LA this weekend for 10 days. here is the forecast from accu weather; sunny every single day with highs between 82 and 90.lol
actually this is there wording...mostly sunny, plenty of sun, abundant sunshine and partly sunny. guess they have to try and make it sound exciting.lol

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
I just need Friday the 15th to be nice, taking spirit cruise with work. I see the models are bringing wehatever that low is that develops up and it merges with either a front or another low to give us a few inches of rain on the 13-14, will this satay that way or is it possible Friday will be wet too?

Spectacular day at Seaside Park...80* with an ocean breeze! Traffic was crazy coming down even though we left early...I can handle the rest of August if it stays like this!

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
Looking like the rain will be more substanial that 1 inch, NWS showing on graphic 2-3+ inches. Not mentioning svr wx or wind though. Have not checked models but last ones I saw still developed the second low to at least 1000mb. CMC had like 994mb i think.

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
Worst of the rain will fall Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Probably looking at a general 1-2 inches of rain for most people. Thunderstorms possible, non severe. Shouldn't be too bad and we could use the rain. Thursday into the weekend is when we can expect clearing, perhaps a stray shower on Friday. Next week could feature our warmest stretch of weather in a long time. We'll see.

Yep, NWS HWO:
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR 1 1/2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE...FROM TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
AS A RESULT THERE IS A CHANCE FOR FLASH FLOODING.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
Could have used the rain Saturday night, major 3 alarm fire near me arson by ateenager, started it in his moms house and it spread and destroyed dwellings to 35 people. That kid is in alot of trouble. To say the least!

Sheesh, lets hope the CMC isn't right, not sure we need THAT much rain. 5-8 inches a bit too much for one night. GFS and Euro more reasonable at about 1-3 maybe locally more like Frank said.

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
This looks like a similar setup to the last storm that yeilded not much but this one looks to put down alot of rain but the NWS discussion now has brought back the slight idea of tornado if ingrdients come together perfectly. Unlikely but we will see. Nonetheless looks like we go get we t "it go rain!"

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
This is like a fall/ winter set up with one low kicking up the westerly apps into Canada with a secondary forming and sliding up the coast in a ne direction. The rain will be heavy for some of us late tues night into we'd - LI doesn't clear out it looks until we'd afternoon.
If we get training which is possible then we could get IMO the 2" amount + for some of us.
Then thurs and fri mid to upper 70's and lows in the low 60's would not be surprised to see some 50's for those in the outlining burbs.

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
NWS Upton discussion: Mentions possible isolated svr storms maybe tornado, seems Jersey is mainly out of the picture.
THIS FORECAST MOSTLY FOLLOWS A BLEND OF THE 12Z GFS AND 00Z/12Z
ECMWF...WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS. FIRST...DEEP LAYER S-SE FLOW
AHEAD OF A FRONTAL SYSTEM TO THE WEST SHOULD BECOME ESTABLISHED...
WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS FROM WEST-EAST THROUGH THE
DAY...THOUGH NOT QUITE AS FAST AS THE GFS WHICH LOOKS TO BE
SUFFERING FROM GRID-SCALE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK EARLY ON. POP SHOULD
INCREASE TO CHANCE BY AFTERNOON FOR MOST OF LONG ISLAND AND
SOUTHERN CT...AND LIKELY FARTHER WEST INCLUDING NYC METRO.
NOT EXPECTING HEAVY RAIN OR TSTMS AT THIS POINT. CLOUD COVER AND
PRECIP SHOULD KEEP HIGH TEMPS SUPPRESSED...WITH MID AND UPPER
70S.
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING INCREASES TUE NIGHT VIA
COMBINATION OF FAVORABLE MOISTURE...LIFT AND INSTABILITY.
INGREDIENTS THAT LOOK TO COME TOGETHER FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH
FLOODING INCLUDE DEEP MOISTURE WITH BOTH PW AND PRECIP EFFICIENCY
INCREASING TO 2 INCHES...AND A DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYER WITH WEAK
INSTABILITY AND TALL/SKINNY MUCAPE 500-1000 J/KG HELPING PROMOTE
WARM RAIN PROCESSES...ALSO MULTIPLE SOURCES OF LIFT INCLUDING
THE APPROACH OF A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH...COUPLED/DIFLUENT
UPPER JET STREAKS...OROGRAPHIC LIFT VIA LOW LEVEL S-SE FLOW WITH A
40-KT H9 LLJ...ALSO ENHANCED LOW LEVEL WAA AHEAD OF A SECONDARY
LOW THAT DEVELOPS JUST WEST OF NYC LATE. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE CWA FOR LATE TUE NIGHT INTO WED AS A
RESULT.
A LOW CAPE-HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WILL ALSO BECOME ESTABLISHED
IN TANDEM WITH WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECONDARY LOW LATE TUE
NIGHT INTO WED MORNING OR EARLY WED AFTERNOON. BRN BETWEEN
10-50...HIGH 0-1 KM SHEAR AND VEERING LOW LEVEL WIND PROFILES FROM
SE-S WITH HEIGHT...LOW LCLS...AND LOW LEVEL WAA AHEAD OF THE LOW
AND AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT LIFTING INTO THE AREA...SUGGEST
POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLD STORM OR TWO TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS OR A
BRIEF TORNADO.

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
12z Nam is a pretty outlandish solution. Forms a coastal low overnight and drills the area with heavy rains. Rgem showed something similar a few runs ago.

Dang what is that almost 5 inches for some areas, its not far off so the NAM is usually pretty good within 24 hrs. We will see could be a wet night and a very hectic morning commute. Just imagine if this was snow with 20:1 ratios ha! : )

I hope we at least get some type of thunder or lightning to make this a little interesting. Flodding is just not fun in any way shape or form.

Re: August 2014 Observations / Discussions Thread
GFS is not nearly as wet as some of the other models. The median is the best route to go, which is about 1-2 inches of rain for most with isolated zones, specifically west of NYC, 2-3+ inches.

Getting very windy here in the Bronx and westchester. To the south and west looks like quite a train of heavy rain is slowly moving north and east. Looks like will get into area, personally I think the rain will be on the higher end but we will see. Just my personal opinion, and going off the NWS hydrology page.
