OT: Big Heatwave/EDIT: Debbie passes well to west but band of showers and squall line and tornado watch to get thru

I have friends flying in from FL into Newark around 3PM. They getting in, delayed, or canceled? :)

Any of the above. Right now high winds but no rain.

Yup up here in SE Mon Co too. Pretty windy tho.

How's the parking--a lot of people down for the beach?

With all the recent rain that's hit Jersey, is this wind a threat to some trees? Is it that level?

I feel like I'm in an alternate universe, based on what I see out the window right now in Atlantic City. It's a beautiful sunny day here. But I know very little about meteorology...

Unrelated question, how early do I have to get in line for Dock's happy hour on a Sunday or Monday? By 3?

I doubt it for healthy trees. Diseased trees that should have been cut already are definitely at risk.

Docks Oyster HOuse has one of the best happy hours around! Usually the line starts forming outside about an hour ahead of opening. I have never gone in the summer so hard to say when you need to be there but in the winter on a Friday I have shown up 10 minutes before opening and was able to get a seat.

What time does the hurricane start

I was there month or so ago and talking to some folks at bar waiting for table they told me happy hour specials are a must. They also told me not to tell anybody else about it. I know it starts at 4.

From what I saw, there weren't on 1st as usual but may be some a block or two further back. Anyone on the beach is likely getting sand blasted.

Sun still on and off but wind is picking up. I'm guessing 20 with gusts 25-30.

Ain't happening. May get some nasty, windy storms tho.

 

[Rhuarc]

Dang, I've never heard of a "Dust Devil." Getting hit by an umbrella that fell a hundred feet would leave a mark...

Another one was just in the news for impacting a sky diver's descent.

We've had just about 4¼" of rain since Monday.

Wondering what Brielle road will be like. NWS said "minor" tidal flooding.

Same here in Wall--wind gusts picking up. My bellweather is fire dept calls for wires down or trees on wires. So far nothing on that front, but I just jinxed my day. . . . . .

Probably good before the squall comes in but the wind may cause delays

Possible

We had a wire down Tue on Stockton Lk Blvd. Seems to be an annual event.
