Weekly Wednesday 350Z/370Z Meets in Queens/Great Neck - Official Thread

[AlphaSnacks]

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.
