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.

His brain got mugged by all the humidity.....he does this in the Yankee thread too. Thinks they are going to win the world series in one post and thinks they won't make the playoffs in the very next post.

JFK has corrupted data because it's right on the Bay. We have already reached 92 here in SW Nassau by noon. I'm 4 miles due east of JFK.

Which is exactly why we need to start on some geoengineering projects to lower sea levels and use up that excess ocean water.

How tf to get rid of horse flies? After the big deluge and now the heat, I see mobs of horse flies in my yard and some of them have found their way inside the house. I spray RAID and bleach everywhere or use the vacuum to suck them in, but more keep coming. How to permanently eradicate these pests? I dont even have any food lying around, I dont get why they are coming. I'm about to spray chemicals into my pond outside (it has no fish in it) to eradicate any insects that might use it for breeding or whatever.

lol JFK undermeasuring again it was 91 in SW Nassau and actually hotter than the previous day by one degree. Too much of a Jamaica Bay influence at JFK. No way was it three degrees cooler than the previous day there lol.

I like dry heat, screw the humidity and screw the oceans.

It's why we need to start drying up the oceans. Get it down to about 50% ocean and 50% land and we'll fix all our sea level rise problems and all this yucky humidity and free up more land for people to live on (to support our growing population.) What to do with all the excess water? Use it and keep recycling it.

WOW 1980 really rocked lol. I'm sure JFK was just as hot.

This is the way heat SHOULD be

thank goodness we got rid of that yucky sea breeze that raises the humidity

Technically fall only starts on the equinox. The first three weeks of September are definitely part of summer. Never understood lazy mets who try to redefine seasons by when a month ends rather than actual astronomical events which is how seasons should always be defined.

Yeah I remember it was in the 20s for lows early in November and then we had the 80 degree high on November 15th a day after the NYC Marathon (a real Indian summer) and then it was all cold after that, basically a storm every 3 or 4 days and almost wall to wall cold right to the end of March. First wintry storm was a snowstorm between Christmas and New Years.

I call foul on the JFK high. It was actually hotter on the south shore today than yesterday by 1 degree. How could JFK have possibly been stuck at 89 on a westerly wind? I hit 91 between 3 and 4 PM while it hit 90 here yesterday at 5 PM. JFK had a high of 92 yesterday no way no how they were 3 degrees lower today.

That's awesome, what's a tourney without a few upsets lol.
