Hate to break it to you, but Arnold is no meteorologist.

National Weather Service forecasters will forecast "isolated" thunderstorms when they are pretty certain that storms are going to form, but only expect them to affect about 10% of the area. In other words, 90% of the area won't get wet.

Not the exact definition, but it has nothing to do with forming over water.

You're welcome. :bowrofl:

ok, now this is getting a little overwhelming.


good info kielbasa

What Kielbasa said was true, but for all of last week, every isolated storm was north of us and barely any even made a blip on the radars.

Scattered are more likely to just affect 10% of an area, where as isolated storms normally never even happen.

For example, there is a storm cloud to the west of us now, heading east. It's track right now shows it'll cut through the Long Island sound/Atlantic Ocean and possibly clip southern Connecticut. That's what I meant by isolated showers usually end up over water. If the clouds look like they have a chance of raining over NY (but are more on track to north or south of us), I've noticed that weather reports will say isolated.

If there are a few scattered clouds directly on path to us, then the reports will say scattered storms.

This is worrying though. There are scattered predictions, which have turned to a tornado warning?

By the way I was just playing around Arnold! I just dont want Econ to erroneously take something off his bucket list haha

Damaging Wings
Large Hail
Chance of Tornado


that's pvssy shlt

Hmmm...hourly forecast been downgraded. Now says isolated at 9PM. Looks like nothing will happen.

Hoping skies remain this clear.

My buddy sent this to me a few weeks ago when we had a crazy *** storm.

Oh from last year? Yeah that was scary. My neighborhood was right in the eye of it.

It was absolute insanity. So much damage. Destroyed cars. Houses. Parks. Trees. Stores. Never thought I'd see that kind of chaos in NYC.

Looks like some rain will come now and none after 6PM.

The meet should be good!

i might come by

Cool, brah.

Looks like all of the clouds have passed Great Neck. There may be some showers out in LI, but they're all passing quickly.

The meet is good to go.

Very nice picture right there :tup:

Fun meet. But people seem to have gotten scared off by a non-existing tornado.

sorry guys, I got stuck working (just finished), hopefully see you all Sunday though.

Stopped by at 8pm, said "nice car dude" to someone with a 370z roadster and left.

Didn't see any other cars there, did I miss something?

nope, he was the first one there. by 9 there were about 10 cars. Noone really came out because of the weather warnings...

I got stuck at work as well, only got home at 9.

well then! maybe you ladies should come out to the UTI day we're having this saturday ;)

Urinary Tract Infection Day?

I knew there was something going on at that shop...

seriously though, what is UTI day.

i have so much **** that needs to be installed, and i was hoping to do it all saturday.

what happened to your face!?

:bowrofl: :icon18:

:shakes head:


lol its better now

econ.... never got confirmation on whether you wanted to do the spacers... schedule is going to be tight on saturday. pm me your parts list and let me see what i can do :)

yea i dont need it done THIS saturday, but just in general. I was gonna do some of it myself just to save some time but ill pm you.

Thanks. I guess I should have stayed a bit.

Looking to see some nicely modded Z's.

Everybody coming tomorrow?

1) Arnold K.
2)

yup i am coming tomorrow

a few of us are heading to etown tomorrow. so dont think we'll be there. unless we finish on time and get back by then which i doubt.

1) Arnold K.
2) Shadowx2x
3) Econ

come to englishtown... meet got moved there, haha jk

Meet us in Great Neck on the way back, guys.

i want to go real bad, however wont get out of work till around 6.

guess Great Neck it is for me.

Was there for a bit after 8, then left.

I was the guy in the Vette, said "nice car" to the guy in the 911 Turbo and whoever was in the M3.

The long haired guy at Starbucks said the Z crowd comes later, I guess I missed this again!

I'm confused. I got there around 8:10 and it was just me and Econ, then a few others came out, including another Corvette. There was a 911 Turbo and M3? Don't understand why people don't stick around for a little bit if they're the first to show.

Left right after they did, which was around 8:05 or so.

If you saw a C6 on Northern Blvd. that was me leaving, traffic was slow.

Guess we have to start arriving at 7:45 just to make sure ppl dont run away hah.

I only saw Euro cars there. An Audi TT, BMW M3, and an older guy in a 911 Turbo who stopped by at Starbucks to get some coffee. Lot was empty by 8:05, I was the last one to leave.

How weird. We must've missed you guys by a hair then. I usually avoid Northern and take the back road around the traffic.

What time do you guys get out of work?
