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?

ironically, looks like parts of Long Island are gonna do all right in terms of rainfall.

Enjoy it. Like living in a rain forest in the trees/hills of westchester

Believe it or not that’s the worst scenario for NY airports.

We have got stuff popping up all over the arrival into JFK over NJ. Gonna be an interesting day

39c/102f at JFK Been flying there for 21 years…never saw ther before

If you slept late, you missed it all! Should be a nice day from this point forward

that is not an intellectually correct argument. The air became more moist in the 2010s…significantly so. That is the reason why we’ve had a significant decline in triple digit heat, but our overnight lows are much warmer. You are an intelligent person. You do yourself a disservice when you’re trying to push a narrative all the time. It’s getting warmer and we know that, but it’s also getting more moist hence the decline in the daytime highs and the significantly warmer nighttime lows. A few leaves in CPK doesnt mean much.

Heat kicked on. This spring…i mean enough already

I havent sat thru one game or practice for my kids without getting rained on this season Unreal

I dont know where you are…but its been raining in Westchester all afternoon. Just had cells move in with torrential rains

This summer sucks weather wise thus far. We lost all of May and now here starts June

this May sucks balls. That is all. …. As I like the fireplace again.

It is not that simple. Cargo is big money. JFK has the highest value of cargo shipments in the US. Fed Ex has a major hub at EWR. Cargo is very important to the functions of airports. The immediate acute problem at EWR is one of the two main runways being closed. That will end in mid June. The other lingering problems include moving a bunch of disgruntled union employees from Westbury to Philly because they could not longer staff the Tracon on Long Island due to high costs and old housing stock. That will payoff long term as newer employees are more willing to live in the suburbs of Eastern Pennsylvania with its low taxes and cheaper/newer houses and they can actually FULLY staff the Tracon. The other long term problem is fully modernizing the ATC system. That needs funding and attention

Absolutely pouring in Westchester. Surprised an advisory wasnt issued
