Sunny in western Suffolk. Was looking forward to some rain too. 

8 years ago today I witnessed a foot of rain in just a few hours. That was a big deal 

Weather doesn’t get much more perfect than it is right now 

Today feels like the hottest day of the year on Long Island so far

 Isaias right?  Had a few trees down here as well.

Yea. Suffolk county was in bad shape. Out of state crews had to bring poles. Almost two weeks 

2 years ago today. Tropical storm on LI. Took out my power for two full weeks. A crew from Alabama got us back up. 
 

I believe we hit 94 in west babylon. I spent the day on the ocean which was still around 90. 
 

currently 80 and it’s literally the perfect night

I drove right through it.  There was rotation but nothing tight.  Torrential rain on the backside of the hook.  

The hook came right over me. Insanity.

Some serious lightning with this storm.  

I had rotation in farmingdale. 

I’m in farmingdale. We had weak rotation for sure. I thought there was gonna be touchdown. I never saw sky like that. Maybe 50mph winds to 

 SEVERE THUNDERSTORM MOVED EAST-NORTHEAST ACROSS PORTIONS OF 
WEST CENTRAL SUFFOLK COUNTY ON THE EVENING OF THURSDAY JULY 14, 
2022. THE STORM BROUGHT LOCALIZED AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT TREE 
DAMAGE FROM LAKE RONKONKOMA EAST-NORTHEAST THROUGH THE SELDEN AND
CORAM AREAS. DOPPLER RADAR, OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSIS, PHOTOS, AND 
VIDEOS SUPPORT THE DAMAGE BEING CONSISTENT WITH STRAIGHT-LINE 
WINDS FROM SEVERAL MICROBURSTS. THE MOST CONCENTRATED WIND DAMAGE 
WAS IN THE AREA OF SACHEM NORTH HIGH SCHOOL AND SMITH STREET, WITH
NUMEROUS LARGE TREE BRANCHES AND SEVERAL TREE TOPS SNAPPED OFF. 
THIS DAMAGE ORIENTATION AND MAGNITUDE IS CONSISTENT WITH
STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS ESTIMATED TO RANGE FROM 65 TO 80 MPH. THERE 
WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ROTATION WITH THE STORM AND NO TORNADO SURVEY 
IS PLANNED. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK, NY WOULD LIKE 
TO THANK SUFFOLK COUNTY FIRE RESCUE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR 
THEIR ASSISTANCE IN EXAMINING THE DAMAGE AREAS AS WELL AS TRAINED 
SPOTTERS, LOCAL MEDIA, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR DAMAGE REPORTS 
FROM THURSDAY EVENING. 

Forecast was a bust in my eyes

more sun than clouds today

downpour in dix hills where I was then cleared out to sunny skies 

not a drop at my house in babylon 

clear night so far. Approved. 

Rain bust? 

NWS disco is saying looking likely now that Sunday is clear

Windy and rainy? 

Any chance it clears out Sunday? A cloudy rainy Saturday/sun is going to suck. 

What’s this weekend looking like for Long Island? 

63 with rain cutting through center of Long Island right over me. 
 

Summer is too short to deal with this 

If it wasn’t so damn windy would be the perfect day. 
 

this 70 degrees feels great. The UV from the sun making it feel warmer.

Maybe we'll have snow squalls in May again like we had a few years ago.

 

May 2020. Remember  it well. 

A dusting with blowing snow. Winter feel. If this happened all the time in winter I’d be happy. The whole dusting with wind thing happens in Iceland the entire winter that’s why I loved it there.
