Severe Weather Summary- New York City Area November 9, 2005
Yesterday morning, the Storm Prediction Center placed the general NYC area in a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms, along with the Ohio Valley and most on Pennsylvania. An area of light rain was ongoing across portions of Central and Eastern PA and pushing eastward. A cold front was draped across Extreme Western PA and the Ohio Valley, and a warm front was located across the Mid-Atlantic.
The area of Generally light to moderate precipitation pushed North Eastward through the New York City area in the morning hours. Meanwhile, behind it in Central Pennsylvania, an area of stronger precipitation was forming. The skies were cloudy across most of the General New York City Area. However, peaks of sun coupled with higher dewpoints were sparking storms in Central Pennsylvania.
The storms continued to move eastward through the afternoon hours. The Storm Prediction Center then issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 855.
The Storms over PA continued to move eastward and seemed to be generally weakening as they were approaching the New York City and New Jersey Area. However, the warm front had pushed northward through the area. Dewpoints began surging into the 50’s and 60’s and temperatures were on the rise.
As the area of rain and embedded storms approached the newly moisturized New York City Tri-State, the storms began to rapidly intensify. The intensifying storms first struck Central New Jersey as seen on This Still Radar Image. The storms continued to intensify moderately and push Northeastward, interacting with Moist and warm Air.
The storms pushed through most of Central and Northern New Jersey, and over Staten Island and Brooklyn. A cell off of Staten Island clearly had a hooked shape with it along with half inch hail recorded on GRLevel3 Radar. The storm can be seen on This Still Radar Image. The storms then continued to move onto Long Island and eventually off the coast.
Meanwhile back towards Pennsylvania, another Squall Line had come off of Lake Eerie in association with the approaching cold front. The Storm Prediction Center was worried about this Squall line, and eventually issued Tornado Watch Number 856 for West Central Pennsylvania. The strong line of severe thunderstorms continued pushing towards Central Pennsylvania, and the Storm Prediction Center followed with Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 857.
By this time, the Storm Prediction Center had taken most of the Tri State Area out of Slight Risk for Severe Thunderstorms. They, along with others, expected the line to go under Severe Limits by the time it made it to our area. This did occur, as once the line passed State College or so, Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were generally dropped, and a great decrease in intensity was seen.
However, the line did make it to the New York City area, with some lightning seen and thunder heard through the Tri State Area. SPC was generally correct with the forecast for the New York City Area yesterday. It was a generally active day throughout the New York City Area. However, no severe storm reports were submitted to the Storm Prediction Center. A complete list of storm reports from yesterday can be viewed on the Storm Prediction Centers Main Website.
