Extremely cold temperatures are expected tonight. Tonight temperatures are expected to drop into the 50's. In radiational cooling spots, 40's can't be ruled out. These temperatures will be the coldest of the month and the coldest they have been all summer. The coldest temperature in the month of July here was 60.3°F and in August 60.8°F. We are already at 63.5°F at my weather station and we still have 7 hours of cooling to go through. I forecast a low of 57°F at my station. I was out before and I was able to see my breath!

Northeast Severe Weather Outbreak - 9/8-9/9/2012

**This discussion will mainly be based off of Long Island.

Severe Weather Outbreak possible this afternoon and tonight. Out ahead of frontal boundary, moderate 20-25kt sustained surface winds will develop, primarily in coastal locations. Gusts could be as high as 40kts excluding thunderstorm wind gusts. Thunderstorm wind gusts could be as high as 60-70kts. Isolated tornadoes are possible. Given the timing, Long Island will be most impacted tonight between 8PM-3AM. **Tornado warnings have already been issued for Long Island, this is going to be one crazy day for weather here on LI. Damaging non-thunderstorm and thunderstorm related wind gusts are expected. I posted the tornado warning above^. Non-thunderstorm related wind gusts could be even as high as 50kts if strong LLJ develops. SPC said that a TORNADO WATCH IS LIKELY.

Surface sustained winds in kts, green = 20-24kts, yellow = 25-29kts.




Tornado watch just put into effect:
Tornado Watch 635 is in effect until 900 PM EDT for the
following locations

A week and a half ago, I made a post stating how cold it was going to get. But now it really is going to get cold! In the LI Pine Barrens, EXTREME radiational cooling will take place, dropping low temps into the LOW 40's! Coastal locations are expected to stay in the mid to upper 50's, where I'm at, low to mid 50's. Here's the NWS forecast for my area then below it, the forecast for the pine barrens.
