July 2018 Obs and Discussion

sroc, being its likely not going to be a tropical system, do you see the NHC putting up a spot? I would have thought by now they would, but the 5 day is clear so I am guessing they are considiering it like most a nor easter like system. But it certainly looks on the models like a tropical LP.

OY, we have our carnival next week, Tues- Sat. Hopefully the rain will come during the day leaving nights clear for zeppoles and rides!

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southern Connecticut,
northeast New Jersey and southeast New York.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

An area of low pressure will impact the region late Saturday into
Sunday. A period of moderate to heavy rain is becoming more likely.
Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are forecast with locally higher
amounts possible in any thunderstorms that develop. This could cause
flash flooding, especially if the heavier rain falls over the New
York City metro area. Additionally, some of these thunderstorms may
be strong to possibly severe, with an isolated tornado not out of the
question.

A glorious sleeping night with low temp and low humidity before all the rain comes. As an aside, we lost power a few days ago in the thunderstorm. Surprising how thunderstorms bust up the trees and kill power. Storms seem to have more punch than ever. I got three inches of rain from that storm a few days ago. We needed it.

Looks like we're going to run into a period of overcast and rainy conditions later this weekend into next week :/

Fun while it lasted.

Hi, Frank, good to hear from you.Getting through the summer here.Aside from the occasional T Storm, the usual boring weather.This set up for the weekend and coming week is more exciting.Starting to see the shorter daylight hours now.Three months to first flurries! Enjoy the rest of summer everybody!

6z GFS really hammers the Jersey Shore and some other coastal areas. 3-4" of rain, some higher winds off the water, with a more west track as well.





850mb winds

It was an absolutely perfect day on the beach in Point Pleasant yesterday.  No humidity and almost cool in the shade.  I know some of you think this weather is boring, but we can’t enjoy days like that during a storm!  

NAM showing some strong winds at the coast as well. 30-35mph sustained. Euro has some gusts to 55-60mph.

Wow perfect timing for the storm to happen because I am going on a fishing trip Sunday morning at 7 a.m. At Long Island at Freeport my guys are ready to go to I don't think it's going to happen

Brings back memories of a trip years ago a group of friends with their families took out of Atlantic Highlands.Saw a bad forecast and put on my waders.of course, I was ridiculed mercilessly on the dock, but when we got out there, the waves and wind were incredible.The boat would tilt and guys were up to their knees in water,LOL.I was the one laughing then in my waders.Family members were sitting in the cabin with a green color.Most everybody puked on that trip.Some Captains will cancel but others will go out in horrendous conditions.

This weekend storm looks more likely as of this time.

NAM & RGEM not as robust, maybe 1.5 - 2" with gusty winds

Yeah, it's not very often the QPF on the GFS is higher than the NAM lol Does seem to be a little trend today of a weaker system, therefore the winds not as much of an issue as some of the previous runs

Tropical torrential rains here in Myrtle Beach peeps. This is our storm brewing. Gonna bring it North but give it a day please LOL!!

You bet. Its prob a smart move on your part even if they do go out

Any chance this thing ticks east a bit and most of the moisture stays with it? I have a busy weekend planned of outdoor activities.

I know these are 850s but dayumm...seeing gusts maybe pushing towards 50-60mph if this plays out, in northern jersey & PA higher 80kts. Moves through quick though south jersey around 6pm moving through NYC at 10pm.

Doesnt look good we are less than 24 hrs away.

Looks like according to NWS, this will be the last day until next Friday I will be seeing the sun.Feel sorry for those who had this week off with vacation plans.Partly cloudy now.

Was thinking the same thing. Doc...and that is why we always take our 3 week boat trip the end of June into the first 2 weeks of July..usually the most stable weather time of the summer...not statically speaking...but by past experience....(this year of course we had that horrible heat...but once that spell last the weather was wonderful)

Mom, you're right, that period is usually nice and tranquil.Hope your boat trip was a lot of fun in spite of the brief hot spell.What did you think of the new Tappan Zee Bridge?I think you had said in an earlier post you were up the Hudson.

Beautiful morning here, partly cloudy, cool, nice breeze.Calm before the storm personified.

12z NAM came in stronger, down to 997mb, hence stronger winds with this run. 35mph sustained in some places.

At the South Jersey shore in Cape May County. Currently 74* and Cloudy with a light rain just starting to fall. Winds are about 15 mph with slightly higher gusts. Very breezy but nothing too dramatic yet. Radar shows heavy stuff approaching soon. Keeping an eye on possible street flooding down here which could be an issue this afternoon or evening.

Not a perfect Beach day I am getting stung by wind driven sand and the sound is very choppy with white caps
