It's scattered stuff which makes it impossible to nail down

Prob quick movers to like Upton mentions

For Sat the slight risk includes NE NJ and NYC, with a marginal
risk over the rest of the CWA except for SE CT, and an afternoon
timing.

Primary threat both days is for damaging winds. Wet bulb zero
temps aoa 13 kft are too high for any large hail threat to
materialize despite ample CAPE fcst to be aloft in the hail
growth zone of -10C to -30C. While storms should be progressive,
can`t rule out the heaviest ones from dropping a fast inch of
rain, especially on Sat per 06Z HRRR and also 12Z HREF 30-40%
probability of over an inch of rain in 3 hours over the Hudson
Valley and western CT.


this year I've seen the biggest snowstorm of my life and now the hottest day...What's next...the coldest day?...

I want to see a TOR

The low here in East Nantmeal was only 77.2 degrees. This is the 3rd highest minimum temperature since 2004. Another hot day today with temperatures close to what they were yesterday - mid 90's to near 100 degrees. Small chances of some showers tonight and we begin to slowly trim the heat with highs tomorrow closer to the mid-90's. Shower at T-storm chances ramp up later tomorrow and at night. We then fall back closer to normal temperatures on Sunday before we trend to below normal temperatures by both Monday and Tuesday.

that's a nice station but I've been thinking about how obs were taken before thermometer shields...I used a weather box that was much larger than a shield...The probe was in the middle and had room to breathe...Now a probe is in the small plastic shield that I think is hotter inside than a bigger weather box... below are the two weather box's I used for temperature readings...made out of wood and has room inside...something like that was used for weather obs up until maybe 20 years ago?...someone should study if there is any difference on Sunny days...

That is awesome uncle!! Have you compared some of those readings with that set up with any nearby official stations during hot days? Would be interesting to see if it makes a significant difference.

I used to want to experience that. Either that or a derecho with winds of 100 mph.

Sept 16 2010 I had a Macroburst come right through my neighborhood in Rego Park, New York with wind speeds of 122 knots. It was by far the most frightening weather experience in my life. I thought my windows were going to blow in because they were bending and talking about actually bending in wood and a few windows did burst on Woodhaven Boulevard. A giant tree fell in front of my house and uprooted the entire sidewalk.

There were the top halfs of trees that were blown off and landed 3/4 of a mile from where they were blown off at. The corner of Furmanvale ave Woodhaven Boulevard right where middle Village begins next to St. John’s Cemetery look like an apocalypse with fallen trees and branches all over the road. Parts of flushing and Bayside Queens did get a tornado. There was somebody killed on the Grand Central Parkway by Drew Avenue when a giant tree fell on top of their car.

I absolutely hate any severe weather where there are strong winds involved. I don’t mind heavy rain. I don’t mind thunderstorms, but when you start getting wins that it ripped down branches and trees I just don’t like it anymore.
