It’s been sunny and relatively warm at Jones beach all day. Water temps are up big time this week. This should help coastal areas with storms.

..its been mostly cloudy with some haze out here..low clouds dominated. all in all not a good beach day

out here on the east end..finally cleared, but a little to late for this beachgoer.

A Challenging spring for all.  Usually by now it’s shorts and t shirts on the weekend, instead it’s sweatpants and sweatshirts.  It’s 45 degrees, raining and a real feel of 38.  Not fun

..both digital weather stations have me @ 43* under cloudy miserable conditions.

another rainy day on tap for today..if this crap doesn't stop i may have to quote

george costanza..." I'm freaking out Jerry"...

...its gotta change..and when it does we will be in for some nice, warm days..today was nice but 

once the whole pattern changes we are still stuck.

betcha bottom dollar memorial day will feature some sunny days with warm temps..that would

be some nice beach days to start the season..just don't go in the water!!

May temps look like they will start off a little below normal, hopefully warmer times will be ahead thereafter. 

Post them here.

...anyone see the first heat-wave down the road?

winter time we all look for the cold /snowy conditions..me included.

now its time to see when the 1st heat wave will commence.

...not weather related on this beautiful april morning..but..

LETS GO ISLANDERS !!

on to the second round..

...it will be interesting to watch the masters this morning and into the afternoon as

the cold front approaches..tee times moved up to hopefully beat the severe line that moves thru 

around 2-3pm..

Looks like another potential coastal storm for our area is down the tubes. I will give it until the 12z runs tomorrow but otherwise this threat looks like its over as of now.

..i don't know..is it me or did this thing come west?

all 'future casts' now shows ELI getting some heavy rain/wind..

THIS would have been the snowstorm us east enders were waiting for if only

it was 6 weeks earlier..

This ones been cooked for a while. Absolutely nothing preventing it from escaping. It’s been an amazingly good erosion season for our beaches. It’s not often you head into the warm season with beaches in such great shape 

yeah..i was down to my beach in west hampton dunes and it looks to be 

in great shape..nice and wide with no signs of any real erosion issues.

The usual spots could see strong radiational cooling for late March early Wednesday.

...KFOK @ 32* @ 6am..i'm @ 26*.

Gabreski did get down to 15*@ 4am under calm winds..winds stirred things up and temps rose.

..KFOK with 4 consecutive morning lows in the teens(13,13,14,17 this morning)..

ideal radiational cooling conditions out here in the pine barrens..each morning had a very heavy frost.

The August sun angle doesn't arrive until April.

...thats correct..actually april 11th starts the aug. sun angle.

another interesting tidbit is the sunrise/sunset on the vernal equinox is directly due E/W..

good time to make sure your weather vanes are properly calibrated..i know i will..

The south shore (Nassau/W Suffolk) will be sweating the rain/snow line tomorrow night. Hopefully it stays just offshore. Eastern Suffolk I think changes over for a decent part of it, enough to cut back. I think just north of where the rain snow line ends up really dumps too, just like last night. There’ll also be a good dump before the warm mid level air comes close. 

..i concur..all 'future casts' show ELI changing to rain..not expecting big numbers

out here..not sure if winter storm warnings are worthy out my way..after a quick thump of snow

we rain.

Still light but accumulating snow in Wading River, 3.75”.   Nice event 

...agree..based on radar my final call will be 3.0" of snow..should be ending soon

with western skies starting to brighten.

wonder if the rain/snow line will set up similar to this in regard to sun nite/mon am..if 

thats the case could be a snowier outcome.

29 minutes ago, EasternLI said:

7AM snow continues for now. 2.1" OTG for this event thus far. This looks to be the biggest snow since November 15th here. 

..730am

30.7*

still snowing at a moderate pace.

closing in on 2.5" snow.

That could well be the case. Not only does the guidance break down the pattern shortly afterward, the EPS weeklies go into a prolonged warm pattern beginning a few days before the 10th. I'm referencing the historical data to point out that the upcoming March very likely won't resemble last March (into April) where winter hung on for a prolonged period of time.

..if that's the case..so be it..let this disappointing winter end and lets move onto spring.

21 minutes ago, Rtd208 said:

Current temp is 12 here. 

...KFOK @ 3*.

..i'm @ 7.7*.

interestingly enough Gabreski got down to -0* between 1am-2am..

more wasted cold.

...KFOK @ -1*

...i'm @ +5.3*

...no big whoop out her..snowed hard for <10 minutes..barely a dusting..disappointing squall..

disappointing winter..

eastern LI will agree..

1 minute ago, snowheavyattimes said:

Weather Channel quite bullish with the squall potential. Calling for 1-3 inches in NYC.

...it would be nice to get a taste of winter even if it last for 10 minutes.

It's amazing how the coastal areas can't even get a light snowfall.

Pretty sad

...really sad..and if i may quote Howie Rose (NYMets announcer on 710WOR) after the game he'll 

say (and this goes for this winter)...PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!!!

It's time to start talking about that scenario though as our TV Mets as well as TWC long range Mets have been talking about Pac air flooding the whole country after SB weekend.

 

...was feeling pretty good last nite after reading d. sutherlands' post..then woke up 

to this..hoping day 9-10 forecasts are wrong and don is right..in the meantime mon-tues

ocean storm is a miss but there has been trends further N & W..would be nice to get 

a 'eastern scraper' for us easterners.

37 with heavy rain.  Upton’s still got me getting to 48, but with wind direction now NE we may be at the high already 

....thats what i was thinking..i'm @ 37.6* and steady..no real climb in temp..a lot of rolling thunder out 

here...

..35.1*/cloudy/waiting on the rain..it will start as rain..and ends as rain.

i'm freaking out, jerry..

Just took a nice walk and measured 1/2" of gorgeous fresh powder here at 28F and snowing lightly - would be nice to make it to 1"...

...yeah..i got close to an inch of snow..temp @ 28.4..still have -S.

wouldn't surprise me if this will be more snow then i get on sat./sun slop fest.
