I thank god I’m off tonight. Driving from the North Shore to the South at about 12:30am would not be something I’d be looking forward to.  

Going to be a fun 15 mile drive home from work tonight 

Blue skies and sun

Blue skies to my east

I work in Huntington so I have often followed your posts. I know the winds, even after Isaias was “done,” were still ferocious even when the sun broke out about 4pm that day. So over that crap. I live on the SS, not near the water and I have noticed the NS has gotten the thunderstorms a little worse this Summer, so far. We’ve been relatively dry since mid-July (we were away week of aug 7, so I can’t attest to that). 

Been relatively dry here in middle island. Storms seem to die out right after they come through stony brook

Funny to see all the city guys hoping for a storm. All the LI people are praying it doesn’t happen 

I’ll be happy with an inch of rain

Good. Nobody out here, and I mean nobody, wants this storm. 

Yup nobody wants to lose power. I’m hoping this things just shoots east. 

What’s the maximum winds we could see from this storm out here in suffolk?

PSEG customers are rooting for a further east landfall on Long Island due to the precarious state of the power grid this summer.

https://www.newsday.com/long-island/politics/lipa-nypa-1.50331708

Problems with three major power lines to Long Island — including total outages on two of the largest — led LIPA trustees on Wednesday to approve a measure to pay $67 million to fix a Holtsville power plant the state had planned to mothball. 

LIPA and grid manager PSEG Long Island also have put on hold plans to decommission small peak-power plants in Glenwood Landing and West Babylon to help make up the gap for the failure of the two power lines this summer, officials disclosed at a LIPA trustees meeting Wednesday morning.

One of the failures involves a power cable owned by the New York Power Authority called Y-49. The cable failed Aug. 6, the fourth time in the past year, utility officials disclosed Wednesday. The Y-49 line has a capacity of 637 megawatts, nearly double the capacity of the Caithness power plant in Yaphank.

Another line between the LIPA and Con Ed system known as Y-50 that provides 656 megawatts of capacity has also failed, officials also disclosed.

The Neptune cable between Long Island and New Jersey was reduced to just over half its 660-megawatt capacity after a transformer failed earlier this year. It won't be back online until early 2022.

Off-island transmission lines, including the Cross Sound Cable and the Norwalk to Northport cables, which remain fully operable, provide around 40% of Long Island's power. 

The Y-49 and Y-50 cables could be out for a month to 10 weeks, officials said. 

 

 

I’m fully expecting to lose power here in middle island/Miller place

Got storm surge warning and hurricane warning on iPhone 

What’s the wind looking like for central LI?

fwiw, 12z NAM with landfall in the Twin Forks 

Looks like wind not too big of a concern?

Hope this trends east. Isaaias was enough last year

I checked on the Davis site.  Two stations in Miller Place.  1.28” and 1.42” are the totals so far.

Thanks!
