I agree, some people need to look up their definitions of what a noreaster is and when it can occur. We've had some in the summer also. Nor'easters are most often associated with strong winter storms crawling up the Northeast coast, but snow isn't a requirement for such a storm. These storms are most frequent and strongest between September and April, but can occur any time of the year.Mar 1, 2018 What is a Nor'easter?

Chris, do you think today is the last one or could we see more of these this month/year? It seems to be rather easy to get 75+ dew points this year, much harder to get 90 degree highs, but if you look at climatology and past history, 75+ dew points should be more difficult to get than 90 degree highs here! Fall begins Saturday night at 9:54PM EDT but day and night dont become equal until 4 days later, on the 26th.

Hey Denmark has a nice climate lol.

Noreaster season should be considered as lasting through April as we have gotten some rather big ones in April (some rain some snow.) Tax Day noreaster in 2007 was one of the biggest on record, not to mention April 1982, 1983, 1996, 1997, 2003, etc.

They also had a very hot summer after a very stormy late winter and early spring just like we had.

It was nice to see an April snowstorm again!

I think we'll have a cooler than normal October to break the pattern temporarily and then go back above normal for November and December before finally settling in to our winter pattern sometime after mid January (probably around the 20th as has been happening lately.)

Well we hit our 41st day of 75+ dew points early today as it's 75 degrees right now with a 75 dew point and 100% humidity at 5 AM at JFK Winds are gusting out of the South right now in the 30s.

You might make it to Sept 25. I generally think of them as an early summer phenomenon but bugs of all types have been proliferating in this tropical weather.

Wow what kind of a track did that 1882 storm take and how strong was it? Wasn't that our wettest month on record- almost surpassed by October 2005 (was surpassed on Long Island where there was 2 feet of rain!) Also, I remember a tropical storm of 65 mph whose center crossed right over JFK, it was a B-storm in July 1996, it made landfall over NC as a Cat 2 or Cat 3 near Wilmington that isn't on the list, do you remember that one? It was supposed to be our earliest major making landfall I think at 115 mph and took a slightly inland track but it was half over water so stayed a strong tropical storm at our latitude. I just remembered it was Bertha! How much rain did we get from that? There was 7" in the Poconos. Getting some gusts in the 30s from the South right now and a very sticky 75/75/100% combo 41st day this year of 75+ dewpoints!

Classic track for inland flooding Usually the heaviest rains are about 100 miles west of the track of the center of the storm, so if the center passes over western LI like Floyd and Irene did, you'll see NJ, E PA and the Hudson Valley get the highest rainfall totals. If it passes over say Montauk Point, then the heaviest rains will be in western Long Island and the city.

I saw a few locations got over 30" Thats three 30"+ and two 50"+ tropical events in the US in the last two years.

I dont know why people wouldn't believe wind gusts of 105-106 since that was reported from Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach where the eye came ashore. The NHC had a landfall intensity sustained at 90 mph and gusts are generally around 15% or so higher than that, so the math definitely works out. Yes, the landfall intensity forecast was way off from a few days out, but intensity is very hard to forecast, and also didn't matter that much since there still was a high surge more typical of a Cat 3 because the storm got larger as the maximum intensity weakened. Point being, we need to use an impact scale in these kinds of situations. The SS scale is not an impact scale. The same thing happened with Ike in 2008.

I got this refreshing feeling last year too when those TCs were just offshore and in 2016 I think it was with Matthew passing by to our east.

We missed a 75 degree dew point by one degree lol. Looks like Warwick, RI made it. JFK got their 41st the next day, 75/75/100% right now at 5 am

All the yuckiness of high humidity without the fun of record highs

I remember the outrageous 80"+ inches of rain we had in 1983 although I was only 10 at the time (2 feet of that was from a snowstorm here). Really hot summer too, with 28 days of 90+ at JFK (the record holder prior to the 31 in 2010) and 37 days of 90+ at NYC (the record holder prior to 1991 and 1993's 39- although 2010 should have been well into the 40s if not for the overgrown foliage) and JFK also had 24 days of 75+ dew points (far and away the record holder and the only year with more than 19 until 2018 came along and gave us 40 so far) and the still record holder of 240 hours (10 whole days!) of 90+ heat indices there! The only year with more than 200 hours of that.

It's those ridiculously high dew points again- this summer has been like nothing I've ever seen before, glad it's on its last legs. I can tolerate 100+ heat with low humidity, but this is just yucky and you dont even get the joy of witnessing historic 100 degree heat, you just get the nasty humidity lol

JFK missed its 41st 75+ dew point day by one degree It was stuck with a dew point of 74 for hours

It's like London people think it rains there a lot but it really doesn't. Doesn't mean there is a lot of sunshine either though.

Seattle? More like Miami lol

I think the JFK high today was 80 with a dew point of 76. Think this is the last 75+ dew point of the year or maybe tomorrow? I see next week it's going to be humid also, but don't know if it will be this humid.

everything is bigger this summer, the plants look bigger, the leaves look more lush, even the bugs look bigger and more common, this Texas/Florida combo pattern is not one that I like.

Finally we did it today! Number 40! https://classic.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-jfk/KJFK/date/2018-9-12 I dont know how to figure out heat index, Chris, did we get more hours of 90+ heat index? it's 79 degrees right now with a 76 dew point at JFK.

Chris, did JFK reach their 40th 75+ dew point day today? Dont know if it'll be enough to get us to 90+ heat index numbers again this year though
