The eclipse is a better reason to go there. I think the SE Ridge also influences the path of totality.
-
Easier to get to for some of us.
-
No, it's not about there being eclipses in those years, it's about the similarity in the path between 1994 and 2024. Both are going from Texas to Upstate NY, the percentage of the sun covered is even the same in NYC (89%) There are most definitely eclipse cycles-- they are called Saros Cycles.

If New York is truly going to be as clear as what I just saw in the forecasts (unlikely, it's still 10 days out), then this will be where a lot of people will be coming. The forecast I just saw for Syracuse (the closest big town to New York City for totality) is 0% high clouds, 0% midlevel clouds and 1% low clouds at 2 PM, about an hour and a half before totality. https://spotwx.com/products/grib_index.php?model=gfs_pgrb2_0p25_f&lat=43.04795&lon=-76.14745&tz=America/New_York&label=Syracuse, New York

-
Yea I realized it afterwards lol. It's hard to tell with how dreary it is right now, mid March was way better than this.
-
where are you getting this from lol I've heard of wishcasting, but this more like pretendcasting lol
-
Thanks Jeff, I just found it so interesting that the eclipse path looks so similar to the path the May 10, 1994 eclipse took, down to the same percentage of solar coverage here in NYC.
-
In this case deeper blue means more clear skies? So this is the complete opposite of the other chart, where deeper blue meant cloudy skies lol. So basically, the further east you go the clearer the skies get?
-
THIS would be the ultimate thread the needle event because we all know we won't get another chance until 2045.
-
this could be really bad for the trees. we have already seen some trees come down with previous windy rainy systems this year.
-
why does that look like a middle finger right in the middle of it?
-
I guarantee your post here is going to get more "likes" than any other post in this entire thread by anyone lol.
-
Is that siting proper too? Does it say anywhere in the regulations that the equipment should be further away from the ocean or at least establish some kind of barrier to shelter it from the ocean? Sea breezes are a local effect, so I look at that the same way I look at trees at Central Park blocking the sensor.
-
Looks pretty good for the eclipse on the 8th as of now.
-
So it's almost in Nassau County!
-
Yes, it can go both ways with snowfall (either more or less.) I remember in December 2009 we had a snowstorm where Central Park got 10" of snow and JFK received 15"! April 1996 was another one, Central Park and LGA both got less than an inch and JFK had 4.5" if I remember correctly.
-
I saw a video of this, it's simply amazing how much power we have at our disposal!
-
I wonder when we'll get this again. That was back when we had a lot more below zero temperatures too.
-
Chris how is it that Howard Beach has close to a foot of rainfall but JFK didn't even hit 10" JFK undermeasures rainfall too?
-
This is probably why it'll be hard to get dry years anymore like we had during the 60s and even mid to late 80s to the early 90s. Do you remember how different the Atlantic was back then? We had a lack of tropical cyclones and some very dry years.
-
I think it's gotten worse actually-- I remember back in December 2009 it was good out to 48 hours.
-
I've been saying this for years! The first step towards geoengineering.
-
Thanks! I was thinking that too. North America is much narrower than Eurasia is (it's really one continent!) Western Europe has a similar influence from the Atlantic like the West Coast of North America has from the Pacific, but with all that extra land mass before that air gets to eastern Asia, its influence is much diminished.
