Cool looking radar this morning. You dont see squall lines that pronounced around here at 7 am too often

Its actually warm out. A warm breeze. At night. In October

I don’t know anything about a cool down or how long it will last but it is oppressively hot out right now for October. Nothing short of disgusting. I’m sure some records will be broken today.

Can we stop talking about climate change please? There is a thread for that where you can post all about AGW and the ills of humanity until your fingers fall off. This is a local weather thread. Its warm, AGW. We get it. No one cares…move on

I dont think most people deny its happening. I think beyond headlines most people just don’t care that much. They will reasonably make changes as necessary and drown out the overused catastrophic predictions. Personally, im not going to alter my life in any drastic measure to change the trajectory by a decimal point 100 years from now. If that means September is a summer month, I have plenty of shorts and tank tops. I think the biggest friction is between the mass populous that feels somewhat like I do and the doom predictors that want us to drastically change modern life. Up to 76 now!

Newark Airport…the warm cesspool of cement

This has to be one of the most consistently warm Septembers I remember. Not hot…just warm

I was just thinking the same thing as I sit in the traffic cesspool that Queens has become

I mean hoodies and shorts can get you thru mid Dec if youre a dude

We really dont. The weather is lovely. The reservoirs are fine. There’s no wildfires raging. Lets stop creating a crisis where there is none. Its been a little dry. and after several years of ridiculously wet weather in the area, it’s just nature balancing itself out.

Anyone else find it humid out?

Who was worried that it wouldn’t rain today… Looks like it’s sticking around for a good chunk of Sunday

Radar popping nicely. Airmass certainly supports it

westchester doing well tonight!

If we are doing opinions, I think its great. The drier summers and the somewhat normal sept temps last year (and so far this year) are a nice change from Florida humidity and Septembers of +5

That’s like declaring we’re absolutely not done with snow in mid February. We could get into the 90s in September but each week that passes chances diminsh

Ive never seen so much hype and sensationalism for a Cat 1 storm that isnt hitting…anywhere. This is why people hate the media nowadays.

Arent we running BN for August?

This storm was like a surprise snow storm that just overperforms. Still raining. I cant wait to see precip amounts from on I 84 corridor

Man it is pouring out! So much for that dry stretch everyone was worried about huh?

I also noticed it…on the Cross Bronx of all places right where the bridge comes in. a lot of yellow trees

I think we get hit later. It is brutal out. Conditions ripe

The weather observation forum that spends the whole time talking about 30 year averages and climate change. Was it supposed to be this cloudy and drizzly today in any forecast? I was quite surprised

you can’t get to or from the airports in Queens anyway right now. haha

Will the lack of daytime heating due to the smoke affect thunderstorm development?
