If it was a 7-iron you were lucky...because even God can't hit a 7-ironI went for a night walk with my dog to take a look the tree damage with a golf club in my hand.
It wasn’t raining but the sky was ablaze with lightning, I felt the old guy in caddy shack realizing I was carrying a lightning rod.
Obviously I made it back, but I’m thinking it was a bad idea numbers….lol
Was a great line by Trevino, although it was about a 1-iron.If it was a 7-iron you were lucky...because even God can't hit a 7-iron
Yes lol I was being tongue in cheek, these setups are tough to pin down though locally I've done pretty well over the years simply by understanding local trends in storm movement, atmospheric setup, etc. Yesterday was definitely an outlier day and probably would have warranted an enhanced risk from the SPC but hindsight is 20/20.You seem to know what you're talking about - did you take met classes or major in it? If so, as you would know, it's nearly impossible to get frontal/instability driven mesoscale events like this right more than a few hours in advance and even just a few hours in advance is really hard. That's why we see the same language on hot summer days so frequently, i.e., "A chance of showers and thunderstorms...chance of precipitation is X%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms." Vague enough to cover so many outcomes, because exact predictions are impossible in such situations.
But did you get any rain?😜Getting hammered again in Wall.
Round 2 has started in Bergen County. Major lightning and downpour.
Drizzle and Thunder recently started here in Morris County
If there is a god he could definitely hit a 7 iron. I doubt he could hit a 1 or 2 iron.If it was a 7-iron you were lucky...because even God can't hit a 7-iron
Yep, basically nothing fell in NJ yesterday afternoon/evening. Today is a different story. Serious potential for severe storms and heavy rains with some already in action. I just drove home from a round of disc golf at Allaire and it absolutely poured along 195 from Allaire to the Parkway and then north on the GSP for a couple of miles - this was 2-3" per hour rainfall, although I think it only lasted for 20 minutes or so - for about 10 minutes everyone was going about 40 mph.Severe t-storm watch up for everywhere north of 195/276 tonight until 11 pm, but I'm not nearly as impressed by this setup as last night's. Not enough to trigger many storms south of maybe I-80, as per the NWS and Jeff Smith (Channel 7, who is very good), but we'll just have to see, as predicting these well is very difficult as has been said multiple times.
Yeah some serious storms up there and a flash flood warning was just issued for parts of Essex, Hudson, Passaic, Bergen and NYC. Also, fyi, that would be hail, produced by t-storms, not sleet, which only occurs in winter storms...Add some sleet to the mix. Precip goes for 20 minutes, stops for 10 and starts up again. Just saw someone from the real estate office 1 floor down who also manages apartments who said there are a number of trees down in the area
It sounds like my noise machine I use to sleep. I love it!Yeah some serious storms up there and a flash flood warning was just issued for parts of Essex, Hudson, Passaic, Bergen and NYC. Also, fyi, that would be hail, produced by t-storms, not sleet, which only occurs in winter storms...
During Wednesday night's storms my 110lb Great Pyrenees decided the safest place was on the bed in between my wife and me. My little 15lb daschund/yorkie unafraid watched the storm quietly through the French doors.It sounds like my noise machine I use to sleep. I love it!
My dog is hiding behind me on the couch. It's been a rough week between fireworks and thunder.

Same area. I never lost power luckily. Those were some crazy rolling storms.T-storms were intense and lasted 2-3 hours up here in western Bergen County earlier this afternoon. Ton of rain, hail, lightning. Only just got power back.
That cell went straight up 1/130.A new severe t-storm warning just issued for SE Somerset and all of Middlesex...

I pretty much only look at past and current radar, since future radar is very unreliable and most sources don't say what the basis is for their future radars - look at the map of what has recently fallen that I just posted - there's no app on the planet that would've predicted that outcome in advance. I'd rather look at short term models, like the HRRR, which runs every hour and is decent for a few hours out.Just came down like crazy in Hamilton for about 5 minutes. Thunder/Lightning and wind. Seems done for now. @RU848789 do you have any links to good weather radar maps for our area? Ones that also show future precipitation? I use the one on the weather.com app but it’s always so bogged down and not that accurate for future precipitation.
We just got another crazy downpour as well up here. Flooding all over. With Elsa to follow...Reason #379 why it's impossible to predict who will get what in these summertime instability-driven mesoscale t-storms/showers. Look at the incredible rainfall amounts (2-5") in NENJ and NYC, which resulted in major flooding of numerous roads and highways, tying up traffic all over the place, while most other locations got maybe 1/4-1/2" and many got none. We got a paltry 0.1" in Metuchen over the last 12 hours.
Ewwww.. look at the scum on the top of that water. I would have to take a bleach bath when I got home. 🤮
And we wondered why Rona hit NYC so hardEwwww.. look at the scum on the top of that water. I would have to take a bleach bath when I got home. 🤮
Third shift fell asleepThanks for the no heads up--tornado warning Monmouth and Ocean until 5:15 am
Had no idea I had that alert on and the phone was of course on full blast. Half awoke stumbled to turn it off and then couldn’t fall back asleep. Thanks National Weather Service for warning me about heavy rain and above average winds, my lawn furniture almost fell over. You saved the day before the ass crack of dawn. SMHThanks for the no heads up--tornado warning Monmouth and Ocean until 5:15 am

We had it in Atlantic City as well. The sad part is that I was still up working when the sirens sounded on my phone...Thanks for the no heads up--tornado warning Monmouth and Ocean until 5:15 am
