88 here now

Islip further from the sea breeze has nearly doubled their 90° day count since the early 60s. So this is more a JFK issue having the ASOS on the water. But you can see how much the 70° minimum count has increased at ISP with many recent top 5s. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?_wait=no&q=74&network=NYCLIMATE&station=NY4130&season=all&dir=above&var=low&threshold=70&year=1893&_r=t&dpi=100&_fmt=png

Are you in the business?

same, sad

I’m here for a snowmobile conference. It’s a beautiful place.

well as we have discussed, Long Island hasn't seen this increase in 90 degree days (but they have seen an increase in 85 degree days). However as Climate Changer and I discussed, with rapidly increasing averages, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing more 90, 95 and 100 degree days here with or without a seabreeze. Maybe by 2050 our climate will be like Jacksonville, FL rather than Miami, FL. Big difference. Hell Jacksonville reaches 100 degrees more than Orlando does even though Orlando is more inland and SW of there. Orlando hits 100 degrees at about the same frequency as we do. On average, Jacksonville, Florida experiences about one day per year with a high temperature of 100 degrees or higher. The last time Jacksonville reached 100 degrees was on June 23, 2022, according to firstcoastnews.com. Miami has only recorded a temperature of 100 degrees once, on July 21, 1942. Therefore, Miami doesn't typically experience temperatures reaching 100 degrees annually. While Miami is known for its warm climate, the temperatures don't usually climb into the triple digits. In the past decade, Orlando, FL has only reached 100 degrees once, in 2015. While it's known for hot summers, 100-degree days are rare in Florida. The city also came close to reaching 100 in 2022 with a high of 99 degrees in late June. In 2023, Orlando hit 100 degrees on August 12, breaking a record set in 1938, according to ClickOrlando.

blaming the models for busting, arguing over whether sleet counts blah blah blah

It’s a shame how much they let that Central Park site go. Since the ASOS was moved under the trees in 1995 it has created a decline in 90° days. You can see the similar charts starting 30 years before the the NYC ASOS was installed. All other sites away from the immediate sea breeze influence have seen a steep increase in 90° days. The sites with some of the greatest increases in NJ are in park-like settings such as New Brunswick. But those sensors are in clearings instead of under a tree canopy. If they kept the NYC ASOS in a clearing like before 1995, then NYC would average around 28 or 29 days reaching instead of the current 18 to 19. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?_wait=no&q=74&network=NJCLIMATE&station=NJ3951&season=all&dir=above&var=high&threshold=90&year=1961&_r=t&dpi=100&_fmt=png

Yes, I'd like to return to the era of the Mattinglies and Boggs, when we had the top hitters hitting over .350 and not striking out much. That actually might be happening now with Judge and Freeman.

He's been buying and selling houses over the years so he's probably due for a new pit, it's been a while. He's really up to Pit 4 or 5 I think.

91 in Lake Grove.

Well, there is always going to be some level of BABIP luck involved...you can't eliminate that. However, harder hit balls of a higher BABIP....ie greater chance of being a hit.

Unfortunately, the timing doesn't look good at all. As it stands now Sunday looks to be the wettest of the bunch. Still time for some changes though.

Just don't do it with snowfall amounts lol I can see all kind of arguments about what counts, snowboards at 6 hour intervals, snow depth, grass or artifical surface, ruler slanting, incompetent Central Park Zoo Keeper measurers, wind causing discrepancies in measurement, etc.

It's even hotter than them in SW Nassau south of Peninsula Blvd. This is the furthest south place on Long Island (not including the barrier islands.) https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM8 88.0 https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYWOODM4 88.5

Still exploring it in beta at this time, an account is free.

Cool n wet wx through the weekend with NE winds off the Lake.

I don't gamble, but I would love to see legalized weather betting...

They have the lowest official reading outside of the eastern Suffolk stations at 83 degrees haha

Prime MCS season is almost here for the Midwest and Ohio Valley. We are always under a threat pending the environment when it's expected to our west. This upcoming pattern advertised would give us a better chance. Will need to assess the positioning of the quasi-stationary fronts closely as we move into the later part of the month. Those are the train tracks, per say.

will central park hit 90 or fall short?

it reminds me of rain/snow lines in the winter, it would be snowing here and raining out in westhampton lol.

Sea breeze boundary is visible on KOKX radar, slicing through LI southwest to northeast. Dew points have gone back up at places like ISP thanks to the sea breeze. The initial westerly wind this morning that brought in some drier air has subsided

Probably a cabin in the Dacks or Moosehead Lake. We just don’t know yet.

Looks like our annual fathers day, father/daughter ball park trip is gonna be a wash Saturday.
