Sundog

We did have that major flooding event in East Queens and Western Nassau during the summer too. But obviously that's localized. But extremely rare either way.

When?

Don't despair, the 18z EURO AI loops the tropical system off the coast back into our area day 9.

A pathetic 0.19 here. I'm hoping the Saturday night batch actually materializes.

If this was snow I would have died. Ten times worse than Juno here. We managed to get a foot here out of that "bust."

Ironically the northern part collapsed first lol good job HRRRRR

This is embarrassing

0.35 They're up to 2.65 inches for the month when counting whatever fell with this "event."

Major improvement on the 20z HRRR compared to 19z. Still weakens it though, but 19z fizzled it out everywhere.

Models collapse that line. Hopefully it holds

You're definitely gambling on the weather lol

The EURO is a crap model, a real flip flopper

Of course the southern extent of the rain in Virginia fizzled out, the only part that had a chance of getting the NYC area.

0.24

That stuff in Virginia and Maryland might clip us after watching a long radar loop on College of Dupage. It's going to be a close call.

Up to a whopping 0.14 here after this last batch of scattered rain showers moved through.

The trajectory of the precip to our west and southwest looks like it will take it northwest of our area. I hope something else blossoms that could give everyone a nice soaking as opposed to this ultra scrattered popcorn crap.

I smell a bust

They have lowered altitude significantly unfortunately. For me it's takeoffs from LGA. I can clearly read the writing on the planes with a quick phone pic. Sometimes I say to my wife I think they're going to land on the boulevard nearby they're so damned loud and low.

Maybe KDIX can get its act together and clean up the radar.

I hear both all the time. By the time the roar of the first plane is about to totally dissipate I hear the whine of the next plane approaching. Ever since 2012 LGA permanently switched over to the "Tennis Climb," which they used to use only to avoid the US Open. That puts the planes right over eastern Queens. Not only that, but the frequency of flights has gone through the roof with updated technology and they also fly 1000 feet lower, which all just compound the noise problem. https://qns.com/2025/09/meng-quiet-communities-act-aircraft-noise-queens/ And I know the towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead are suing the FAA.

I hate the new white LED lights they put everywhere over the last 10 years.

Traffic and environment wise yes, physical and mental health wise, no.

If most people who live in a city are not impacted, then who is impacted? I have planes flying over my head constantly and I'm 4 miles east of the airport, even places like Mineola get affected, it's a major quality of life issue. The local councilwoman is suing the FAA for jamming 13,000 flights in a month and flying planes 1000 feet lower because of newer tech. It's driving me crazy. You want to trade since noise isn't a real issue that doesn't affect most?

There are studies that show the benefits of light and noise pollution? Or you mean living in a big city? I'd love to know what these positives are considering it's a completely artificial environment.
