mph expected. Isolated gusts up to 70 mph possible.

* WHERE...Portions of southern Connecticut, northeast New Jersey
and southeast New York.

* WHEN...Until 6 AM EST Wednesday.

well as scattered trees and power lines. Power outages are
likely. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile
vehicles.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around
trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of
your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if
you must drive.

winds are definitely howling right now, heavy rain in Astoria, NY 10 minute away from the city... Something tells me those winds are going to verify and rainfall will exceed 2 inches in this area, easily!

The NWS update 7:41

-- Changed Discussion --
Rain continues across the region and will only get heavier as
we head into the mid-evening thanks to strong warm advection/isentropic
lift and exceptional upper-level forcing associated with the
approaching closed low and strong jet streak aloft. As the warm
front lifts northward toward us this evening, temps will rise
into 50s for most of the region, possibly reaching 60 as far
north as Philadelphia. Surface winds will increase, with gusts
40-50 mph likely for most of the region and 60 to possibly 70
mph along the immediate coast. These strongest winds will occur
late this evening to around midnight. Further inland, confidence
in winds stronger than currently forecast is low, but could
occur if a low-topped squall line crosses the region with the
surface cold front overnight, also likely to be fairly close to
midnight. For now have included slight chance of thunder in the
forecast, but the chance of the squalls is greater since they
may not have any thunder. Rainfall still looks quite potent with
1-3 locally 4-5 inches.

Midnight - that's one heck of a squall line in NENJ

That's going to be one heck of a line! Heavy rain with rainfall rates over 1"/hr along with 60/70+ winds if it keeps it's intensity all the way to the coast...

currently 52* pouring we have almost an 1.25 of rain..winds in low 20 no high gusts yet

and that sqaul line will be right over us

So far very very underwhelming here, just breezy, i would thought winds would kicked up a bit by now being this looks on HRRR to be over in 4 hrs or so with that squall at 12. It might be that that is the only think that will create that kind of wind. Question why is the HWW in effect until 6am if this basically drops below HWW criteria about 3 to 4 hrs earlier than that? IF the HRRR is right that is. So far your area of beige is the only place I have seen 50mph reported on here, no one in these areas is reporting any sig winds. As you said hardest thing to predict.

Winds are picking up here

Sorry, I am getting better to post things on this page when I’m trying to say, is that wow look at squall line

Looks like this was in PA

Here is the squall line. It is very eerie looking. Soon to cross into SW NJ

Wow
This looks like a summertime thunderstorm. Do you think this will make it up to NYC?

MADONNE! This squall line coming into SNJ

The northern edge of the squall is plowing toward philly metro

yes...11pm to midnight time frame

Thank you Frank please stay safe .this storm is insane

I would.think once that line comes through the worst is likely over but that line while very narrow looks like it means business. I hope it starts to dissipate a bit
