JFK 3 degrees hotter than NYC on a sea breeze, interesting

Day After Tomorrow vibes Just wait a couple of decades and such a storm may no longer just be a fantasy.

might increase the boat traffic though

I said it would be sub 900 mb! what do I win if it happens?!

There should be a way to attach a tiny camera to the bear and see what it sees, the journey must've been an odyssey. I doubt a human could survive such a grueling journey.

Don did you read the part about a polar bear making it up there for the first time ever? Thats one of the craziest things I've ever read, it must've been a multiyear trek!

Is that Summit Camp? Thats the top of the ice cap on Greenland, I follow their hourly weather data (updated on weatherbug) they are the coldest location by extreme temp in the northern hemisphere.

when is this current bout of extreme dew points supposed to end? It's been utterly miserable the last couple of days.

What exactly is keeping this from going further west, a front coming in?

I was going by the NHC official track which had it weakening at our latitude or just before.

I wonder how much rain for us on that track. Also do you think the storm will be really destructive for the Cape even if it makes landfall only as a TS (65 mph) there? Weren't Bertha and Floyd both 65 mph TS when they made landfall on Long Island? Didn't see much destruction there.

you're right of course but a caveat in this case is the much cooler waters east of here, if it makes landfall on the Cape it looks like it will only be a TS at LF

so basically what I heard Dr Postel say is that if the storm is stronger it will be further west and if it's weaker it'll hit the cape. The choice according to the maps posted is either out to sea, a 65 mph TS hitting the Cape or (the extreme scenario) an 85 mph H hitting the tristate

hmmm if this storms hits eastern NE it will likely only be a TS when it gets into the much colder waters up there. It's only chance of making a landfall as a hurricane is in the tristate area

tossing runs that favor weenies is discrimination

I saw a video of one but it was in eastern PA

Yeah it was horrible. I know the impact of it is bad, but I mean it's not something I ever want to experience and I dont want anyone else to experience it either. Honestly, I'll be super happy once we have climate control and limit the destruction to lives and property that weather events cause. I dont mind a few inches of rain and some wind (like in the 30-50 mph area, thats not really destructive.) But 60+ mph winds and high surge are too destructive to really be something to look forward to. Of course your tastes may vary.

No wind and surge don't interest me, because I dont go to the beach. I would rather not have wind because I dont want my roof to be blown off- so it's a concern, but after Sandy I definitely dont ever want to experience winds like that ever again and probably wont. So I care about them in the sense that I dont want them. I love things I can actually see- like rain and snow.

4 tornado warnings but all north of here

It's too legit to quit! Or maybe it will by the next run lol. Or maybe it'll be sub 900 mb next

that was a boring storm lol barely any rain at all. Dec 1992 was FAR superior to it and quite frankly to any other coastal storm I've ever experienced, 3 days of wind and rain mixed with snow. You're right about west of storm surge issues though it impacts coastal areas and causes evacuations in cities like Long Beach.

heaviest rains are 100 miles to the west with TC at our latitude, most of us care about rain not wind and surge. East of storm is usually boring with paltry rainfall totals

any tornado reports?

or how The Matrix was powered.....

thats the way to beat high humidity, have a screaming 20-30 mph wind lol. I dont think heat index even takes into account wind speed (or amount of sunshine or sun angle for that matter)
