August 2020 General Discussions & Observations Thread
SnoSki14 replied to Rtd208's topic in New York City Metro
Who said it was over, all I said was the worst heat has likely passed. That doesn't mean it can't get really hot again though. And yeah by mid Feb the worst of the cold has likely passed. That doesn't mean you can't get snowstorms though. -

Not seeing a lot of 90F potential moving forward. Maybe very end of the month and early September? -
There always seems to be a lull around this time as its a transition point between early & peak activity. Even 2005 had a break in early to mid August. However with a massive MJO wave moving east and shear on the decline there's very likely to be a surge just after the 20th. There's zero evidence of a 2013 repeat. Also just look at the e. Pacific and their current activity, that'll be us in about 10 days or so. Steering currents also favor west tracks vs OTS storms.

The tropics will likely flip like a switch. Even now despite unfavorable conditions we're still seeing invests try to spin up. I think we'll get our next storm shortly after the 20th (21-26 most likely). It's possible we get a rogue subtropical or brief MDR storm before then but our first big time storm won't come till late August. We could see simultaneous storms in the 25th through September 15 time frame. A couple of them could be majors. After the 15th there could be another lull but another active period in late September through October is very likely.

I wonder how much influence the ENSO state really has in today's rapidly warming world. The Nino was completely decoupled from the pattern we saw last couple winters, wondering if the same will hold true this year. And finally is the era of cold/snowy winters over for good. We're seeing unprecedented warming with top 10 warmest months left and right since the super Nino. I wonder if warm/wet winters will be the future now and we just hope we could get lucky. -
What a mess a TS did on this area, I'm still drying out my basement. Thankfully the power was only out for 6hrs though half the town is still without it. I don't think we're done either this year but I really hope we don't see another system. They may be exciting in the moment but the aftermath is horrendous, it's def not like a snowstorm.

Endless heat. I think we'll set record 90 degree days this year. Also more tropical activity seems inevitable. -
Nam/GFS are gung-ho with a period of very strong winds in a few hours. Also sting jet after center passes starting to look likely.

I think it's looking pretty likely that storm will pass west of NYC. Nam/GFS has it in western NJ. This will put eastern NJ, NYC, LI in the middle of the strongest gusts with a high likelihood of a few spinups. Storm will be moving through at nearly 30mph which will only increase the wind force on the eastern side. I think some 80mph gusts seem probable.

Starting to get increasingly concerned this won't just be your run of the mill tropical storm. The combo of that jet and this system is def a concern. We're also seeing the tornado threat play out right now. Imagine if the Ukie & Euro were right with those widespread 70+mph gusts

It doesn't look like it's moving that far east to me.

I'd be shocked if we didn't see some hurricane force gusts. This storm has been big on winds from the start. The winds on the east side of an accelerating tropical system can be quite powerful.

I don't think so, the new NHC advisory discussion was pretty concerning regarding wind gusts. This is a well mixed atmosphere.

I'm always skeptical when it comes to tropical systems so I get your point. Whatever happens will be over a short period of time, hopefully this tracks further west so we could see some stronger winds. If this is shooting up 25-30mph there's bound to be some very strong gusts on the eastern side. Tornado threat exists as well. Don't really think this is a rain threat for us so I'm not overly concerned about flooding.

It should reintensify when it finally turns NNE in the direction of the shear vector. This will commence shortly as the jet is strongly pushing up against him now.

You know it's been bad when a dew below 70 is an accomplishment. -
Models ramping him up post landfall is pretty concerning given we'll likely be on its eastern side.

Models pretty adamant that this gets a burst of energy once it's shooting up the coast, must be that anomalous jet streak. Wouldn't be surprised to see it trend stronger as it comes north, even if it's just inland.

This has an equally good chance of plowing into SE FL with tropical remnants spreading north. In fact I think it'll be the likely scenario if it stays this disorganized into tomorrow.

It could also impact Florida as a TS though that still seems unlikely. I think it'll hit eastern NC as a TS or weak hurricane and trek either just inland or offshore until it hits LI. Huge uncertainty regarding intensity though upper air pattern looks mostly unfavorable until it recurves n/nne.

"Marginal" SVR/FF risk 3P Today-3P FRI July 30-31
SnoSki14 replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Well that was fun. What a light show, it was even better than last time. -
GFS looking more ominous. That's a decent hurricane impacting LI.

This should be interesting. We've already had a TS so I guess there's some precedent for another one. Models are all over the place when it comes to intensity though.

In a decade or so we'll probably have some legit home grown TS or even hurricanes nearby. A July TS like Fay for us was highly unusual. -

Not even close to triple digits today and likely for the rest of summer. Pattern moving forward will feature troughiness in the Midwest and warm/wet conditions for us. This could even limit 90s as we head into August.
