Depends on what coast you are on - it's already reaching the CT coast.

WSW winds here, real warm temps and we stayed humid last night and today. No real reason for them to fall apart. Lots of lightning in those cells. Dead opposite of yesterday when hvy cells had no lightning at all.

Ice - what type of weather station do you have?

[NYBrit]

Looks like I'm about to get clobbered. The front smaller cell looks like it'll just miss me but the one racing in behind it won't.

that first cell only grazed us here in jersey city - with the heart of it just south of here. looks like the next one may do the same.

[LongIslandCoastalWx]

Showers moving through here with a few rumbles of thunder.

Temp dropped from 81 down to the current 66 in a very short time.
