Dramatic Temperature Drop in NYC

[Matt Molnar]

The temperature at Central Park dropped 18 degrees in an hour this afternoon with the passing of some thunderstorms that raced through at 50mph ahead of a cold front. The 3:51 reading was 84...at 4:51 it was 66. :shock:

Same at EWR...dropped from 86 to 68.

Yeah, a cold front will do that! :)

last night was definately interesting. i was in the garage doing a tune-up on my car when the front came though. my garage faces east so i never saw it, all of a sudden i look outside and do a double-take of the clock on the wall. right then the sky just opened up and let loose...

Went to the Met game last night. Fortunately, I was in the company suite, dry, with food and drink. I thought they would never get the game started, but sure enough, at 10:15, they did. Finally bailed out around midnight (I was riding with a couple of co-workers, and it was an early morning). Certainly some interesting weather.
