But that would be after the peak heating of the day correct? I'm not sure why we have been getting so many of these in the last few years, I remember in the 90s these rarely ever happened.

Yes! That's what I heard too! What a name for a horrible weed. I guess I don't have them up there so that's why they are here and not on the mountain. I wish there was a way to get rid of them. I'd burn them down if I could.

They're here! I saw them on Friday when I was gardening. Three of them so far. Is there a particular type of tree they go for? There haven't been any at my other house in the Poconos-- is that because of elevation or a type of tree that isn't present there? I noticed they're in the lower elevations near Wilkes Barre, so you could say it's an elevation thing, but up on the mountain, I've never seen them, even in the hottest part of summer. So maybe the trees they like aren't up there?

Hopefully it stays east of this area. It can hang around in Suffolk County, we don't need or want it here.

yup, it's clearing over here now. It lasted for about 20 min

YES I love it! Looks like we could get NW winds that day! A nice dry scorcher! Well last Saturday JFK hit 87 and we just touched 90 here before the sea breeze came just before 1:30. The temperatures here matched what was going on at FRG. Sunday was much cooler. Long Beach to Fire Island are barrier islands and they get the sea breeze much sooner than, say, Sunrise Highway does. Wait, there's a backdoor coming in late Tuesday? I thought it was supposed to be close to 90 on Wednesday too?

I hope no one has seen those giant Joba spiders that were supposed to be coming up the coast either. Do you have a map for those too? Thanks!

Thanks I'm going to need these! Hopefully it doesn't hurt anything else.

Wow Galveston is going to break its old monthly record by blasting past it! Didn't Dallas do a similar thing last spring?

stupid humidity. plus lots of sunshine makes it roast here.

Got anything to spray to mass destroy these cretans?

sounds like normal weather for late spring

a/c is on today

It was 90 here near the south shore too. Regardless the hottest day will be Tuesday when it should be well up into the 90s everywhere. Take the whole week off, it will be a fun one.

The hottest day will be Tuesday and that day it could be in the mid 90s everywhere. Most people take the entire week off so it doesn't really matter what day is the hottest.

Agreed, but it won't be happening in May (or June).

record heat for early June would be near 100 hopefully deep westerly flow or some more of this onshore stuff?

I wonder when we'll see a repeat of what happened in the 1950s....that was some decade for east coast hurricanes.

Whats the reason for the flip flopping? Is a piece of this out over a poorly sampled region?

Chris, are the lack of these deep westerly flow events due to the high now pushing further north? Also, for the past two springs in particular, we've had a long stretch of dry low humidity weather, and as a result my allergies came to an early Is that because of more spring blocking in the last two years?

but paradoxically what causes warmer waters makes the land cooler lol. when is the peak of SST-- in September?

They are actually becoming less common. Not only that major hurricane hits north of NC are also less common than they used to be. Most of those go into the Gulf or Florida. When we do get hurricanes at our latitude now they are Cat 1 or just TS.

But what about for our area, are they still warmer than normal for this time of year? When do we typically see 60 degree sea surface temps? But in terms of what effects it has on coastal areas, they wouldn't have any effect if we had a land breeze correct?

What I like about our area is that it usually corresponds well to the astronomical seasons-- last snow is usually around 3/20, summer weather usually kicks in around 6/20, fall around 9/20 and first snows around 12/20. Screw "met seasons" astronomical is where it's at

ah that explains why they're in the 50s. The ironic thing is that which keeps the coast the warmest also makes the SST stay cool (upwelling.)
