Nor'easter today into Tuesday - heavy rains (wintry well N/W), high winds, some flooding

[RU848789]

Surprised no thread on this. Hang on to your hats - intense nor'easter on its way for today into Tuesday. Heavy rain (1-3" possible), high winds (warnings up for coastal areas/advisories elsewhere), and coastal (minor to maybe moderate) and urban flooding are likely. And a few inches of snow/sleet in the Poconos, Sussex County and the Catskills/Hudson Vally (north of about I-84) - could be quite the snow/sleet/freezing rain storm for much of interior New England and upstate NY. Storm track is too close to the coast, without enough cold air to our north to bring wintry precip to the I-95 corridor.

Numbers, when would you expect the heaviest wind and rain for central NJ (Colonia)? Kids have soccer training in Piscataway. Wifey is not a fan of the drive to begin with. Rain and wind only make this more of a task.

The Navesink River had large white caps this morning, and the wave action was spilling onto the road on the Middletown side. Don't see that happening too often. Raritan Bay was rocking too.

This afternoon is going to be nasty out

 

[knightfan7]

Pretty ugly here along the coast. High winds, flooding expected.

Big chunk of roof blown off condo building in Long Branch. The downed wires calls are starting to come in for the 43rd.

 

[Ridge 22]

Not much happening here in Bridgewater where my office is so far. Only what appear to be moderate winds and not much rain.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Just think of all of the wonderful snow we'd be getting if it was 10-15 degrees colder!

 

[suggakane]

Brick, south of Mantoloking Bridge. Wind out of NE at 32 MPH..Solid white caps on bay..It's honking pretty good.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Wind gusts picking up and whitecaps on the lower Hudson River.

 

[Ridge 22]

Wind picking up a little more hear, but still not doing much of anything. Where is this storm?

 

[RU1993]

Our building down by the Marina in Jersey City is creaking like crazy with every wind gust.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Yeah not seeing much - moderate-heavy wind and little rain.

Which building are you in?

Since there is no snow, is this storm considered a bust? :)

rush hour is going to suck

3:40p in midtown. Dark but no rain, haven't noticed the wind either. All is quiet.

Not sure, but this is a snow bust:

My guess is the winds are BRUTAL downtown. I remember moving to a midtown office, after a decade downtown, and how nice it was to not have to deal with the windsanity of The Battery, Wall St, WFC and WTC areas.

 

[bac2therac]

I bet its snowing at Numbers globe

Storm didn't even form yet.

Will be ugly tonight.

Surprised no thread on this.

There was a thread Friday, but nobody gets excited when about winter storms above freezing until the lights go out.

These PITA nor'easters have a way of sneaking up on people. Lots of power and road problems around central NJ. Afternoon school activities cancelled with outages.

Thanks - I only checked the first page. This will be a fairly disruptive storm for a non-snowstorm (for most - could be some decent snow/sleet well inland; see map - I wouldn't expect much if any snow/sleet south of I-80, despite the map implying some is possible). Seems a little silly that some schools closed today for a rainy nor'easter, though. Storm left a trail of destruction the in south, including in Albany, GA, where a major tornado killed several people - sad to see, as I spent 6 months of my life working down there in the early 90s.

It's been ugly all day down here. Flooding, 50+ mph gusts, heavy downpours.

Did anyone point out it's the 1 yr ann'v of the 2 ft snowstorm?

Was thinking that today. A little colder and it would have been a repeat.

I hate rain storms in the winter. Does it snow in NJ anymore?

 

[mikemarc1]

Wind advisory already cancelled for much of nj.

Coastal sections still have a warning

Can't tell if joking - the 2000s have been one of the snowiest periods in recorded history in most of Central/North Jersey/NYC. And 7 of the 9 biggest NYC snowstorms over the past 148 years have occurred in the last 20 years.

Nothing crazy up here. Rain is intermittent and wind was stronger this afternoon.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

Numbers Last year was warmest ever since records kept. This one off to the same start A year ago at this time we had a monster storm the only real snowy event of the season . This would have equaled that one had it been 30 instead of 40.. I know you love snow and all the wonder it brings but I am quite happy to have flooding rain and winds..:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Route 36/Ocean Ave closed in Sea Bright. Tide going out now. Wind driven rain is brutal.

Every storm that place gets pounded it seems. I love the area but maybe people shouldn't actually live there.

It's a great town and area. Beach, boating, great restaurants, Twin Lights, Sandy Hook, Hartshorne Woods, minutes from Red Bank.

Yes it is. Not disputing that . Just must be an uncomfortable place to live in times like these.

With trees and power lines coming down they don't want kids walking the streets to and from school. Pretty reasonable.

 

[RUSK97]

Flew out of EWR this afternoon to go to Georgia. Can't believe we actually took off on time. That was brutal turbulance on the t/o.

 

[newell138]

Wind is blowing like crazy here in OC. Lots of flooding at high tide around 430
