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.

And I know the towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead are suing the FAA. 

I get non-stop planes overheard on approach into JFK runway 22 now at 1800 to 2000 over my house & my parent's in Muttontown.  Can always tell a 747 by the sound alone.  While planes flew over Great Neck from LGA when I was kid & lived for 30 or so years, they were always at a higher altitude so not as noisy in my experience.

80.5 in Muttontown & 80.2 in Syosset today.

I meant for this to be in the banter thread, but the point is that one has to use established definitions consistently for clear communication. Otherwise, confusion can erode preparedness and public safety.

Understood, totally agree.

Perhaps because his tropical forecast is in bad shape due to a quiet hurricane season so far, Joe Bastardi is now insisting that meteorologists embrace his private fiction of what constitutes a tropical cyclone.

As noted previously, the system had fronts. It was a nor'easter. It was not a tropical cyclone. It should not have been classified as a tropical cyclone any more than a winter nor'easter should be classified as a tropical storm or hurricane.

Well compared to naked swirl aka Gabrielle, maybe he has a point, haha  I don't get how Gabrielle exists at the moment.

The stuff currently south of Long Island is better lined up for NYC if it can make it there. 

Agreed, just watch how it pinwheels in to the area on radar this evening.

Models are wishy washy with how much rain falls up here

They mostly all bring the low up here to affect us, they just differ in how much rain actually falls once it's here. 

Hopefully around .25" falls, but could end up closer to .10"

Maybe you should try posting some of your own ideas instead of being more concerned about trying to play gotcha games. 

I do, I busted horribly back in fall of last year calling for a cooler November, as I recall.  It's called forecasting, you'll never be correct all the time in weather.  I just don't delete my posts when the forecast of it ends up incorrect.

I posted yesterday that the heaviest rain would stay to our south due to the record blocking to our north which is still the case today. I didn’t mention any specific amounts since the models haven’t been very good recently in that regard beyond a few days out

That's why it's deleted but the 90 for Friday posts remain

You know it’s a dry pattern when the main interest is how close the .50 line gets to NYC.

Well you did post yesterday, which I see you since deleted, that the record ridge over SE Canada was going to keep the moisture to our S.  We'll take whatever QPF falls, but this was hinted on some models early Monday morning (6Z Euro, NAM & GFS).  Glad to see some better agreement that they'll be some QPF at least.

Anyone else find it humid out?

Not me down here on Long Island.

Are the overall anomalies being affected by higher low temps?

I don't see any temps higher than upper 70s on the EPS.

Looks like low 80s on EPS, regardless it’s above normal.

48.6 in Muttontown & 50.6 in Syosset this morning. 

49.1 in Muttontown & 51.4 in Syosset this morning. 

1.37” in Syosset & 1.14” in Muttontown for rainfall totals.

1.32” in Syosset & 1.10” in Muttontown so far.

Solid drink, up to 0.87”. Hasn’t rained like that in a long time. 

So much for the models having nothing for Suffolk   GFS is looking good

Looks like that rain to the south over the Delmarva is more aimed towards LI and southern parts of the metro. I could be wrong but that’s what it looks like 

Radar seems to indicate metro on east is best for the additional rains this evening.

Models show very little rain for Suffolk county. The beat goes on 

GFS has you covered
