I hate it when storms mess with the hottest time of day. Glad they wont get here until close to sunset.

If it's one of those really old bridges near the NJ/PA border I may have seen it.

Wait is that near I-80? I think I've seen it

So they skipped over that area or formed east of there?

Interesting, I wonder if they'll make it to Jim Thorpe-Albrightsville-Lake Harmony-Lehighton area. Just found out Jim Thorpe has a heat index of 105!

Today being my hottest day of the year (96) I'm wondering if there are going to be any more 90 degree highs for the south shore of Nassau County this year.

Made it to 96 today my hottest of the year so at least I made it into the mid 90s this year haha It's actually pretty rare not to have at least 1 95+ high.

I hate all these horseflies it's all a bunch of BS. I'm spraying everywhere to get rid of this insect overpopulation.

1980 was a super hot coast to coast summer though, recent summers have been weaksauce here. If you analyze 1980 it has all the elements of our hottest summers that's why I include it in the list. You can't have a summer like that anymore with all this rain that's been falling every month. Even 1983 which was my wettest year on record and still super hot had that dry spell for summer. The heat gets bullied by the coastal front when that wasn't the case 10 years ago and prior. Too much water vapor in the air to heat us up like it used to before. and I hit 96 today on the south shore so all city sensors have issues, we need to get rid of ASOS.

I've always wondered, is there actually Ferry service there?

This is the hottest day of the year here on the south shore of Nassau, Don, made it to 96 here at 1 PM

Good to see that my two hottest summers (1993 and 2010) are accurately reflected at Newark at least lol. By the way it hit 96 here on the south shore of Nassau at 1 PM this is the hottest day of the entire year here!

4" of rain here? why is everyone saying it's going to miss us to the south lol

I thought Labor Day weekend was supposed to be cool and in the 70s with that strong blocking people were talking about lol

rain probably wont arrive until night time here

That was an exceptional storm for being so close to land.....200 mph gusts on the Jersey shore? I wonder how that happened. It looks like this was probably purely tropical when it made landfall up here. At 12:00 UTC on September 13, the hurricane reached its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (230 km/h),[3] and five hours later, a ship documented a minimum barometric pressure of 933 mbar (hPa; 27.55 inHg). The storm's pressure may have been lower at the time as it is unknown whether or not the observation took place in the eye, though the 909 mbar (hPa; 26.85 inHg) pressure suggested by meteorologist Ivan Ray Tannehill was considered too low. The hurricane began to gradually weaken after reaching peak intensity on September 13.[3] In the morning hours of September 14,[2] the storm passed just east of Cape Hatteras and eastern Virginia as a small but powerful hurricane with winds of 125 mph (205 km/h).[1] Afterwards, the cyclone curved slightly further towards the northeast and continued to accelerate;[2] at 02:00 UTC on September 15, the hurricane made landfall near Southampton in eastern Long Island with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h).[1] The storm then crossed the island and Long Island Sound before making a second landfall two hours later near Point Judith, Rhode Island as a slightly weaker storm with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h).[1][2] After crossing Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the tropical system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone off the coast of Maine on September 15;[1] these extratropical remnants continued to track towards the northeast and across the Canadian Maritimes before they were last noted merging with another extratropical cyclone off of Greenland at 12:00 UTC on September 16.

There is nothing worse than an 89 or 99 degree high.

what is it going to take to get a genuine Sonoran Heat Release and bring air from the Desert SW up here lol. Maybe part of the problem is it's actually rained there this year. Of course they need it.....

without the fun of higher temps

stupid JFK well at least we hit 92 here on the south shore at noon.

Whats it going to take to get ocean temps consistently in the 80s? Once we get there we can neutralize the sea breeze. That happened in our really hot summers when we had multiple days over 100;.

stupid ocean takes all the fun out of extreme temperatures

How do you guys get all the fun?!

their glaciers are melting faster than you can count all the letters in their names.

Is it possible me being 2 miles from the ocean makes a difference....I'm sort of a hybrid of JFK, FRG and ISP We did have a sea breeze kick in around 2 PM but it got to 92 at noon first.
