The ridge just doesn’t want to back down this summer. 
 

New run

 

Old run

 

 

Conveyor belt of smoke in the upper levels from the PAC NW it seems with the wind at 200mb & 500mb and the ridge centered W of us.  Wonder how much it’ll impact high temps  some days.

I havent looked but are we dealing with some smoke again?

 

Yep, only posted about it the other day.  Tomorrow it'll be thicker but thankfully all in the upper levels and not down at the surface.

Probably a 5-6 day long heatwave by the time we’re done. These 91 borderline days count. 

Smoke may throw a wrench in that perhaps. 
 

Rainfall totals from OKX for yesterday's storm:

2.48" in Syosset & 2.41" in Muttontown so far.

2.21” total. 9.56” for July, Suffolk County. 
 

the Long Island posters have to stop calling bust and whining early in events. Please. 
 

 

Let em, they look like fools.  Models had our rain coming in the overnight on runs over a day ago.  
 

1.37” in Syosset. 

Smoke followed me home.  Temps dropping now due to smoke it seems. 

Picture from the walkway over the Hudson, a little before 1pm. 
 

Thick smoky sky in Rhinebeck currently with a light smell of smoke at the surface.  Flashbacks to 2023.  Can’t even feel the sun at the moment.

That was mandated down here.

I think any new gas station or existing gas station that does a renovation is required to install a generator, to alleviate any gas runs.

Natural gas line if you can is the way to go.  You are correct that if you have propane, it would only be good if you are getting the supply refreshed after a few days.

Always depends on size of propane tank.  I have a natural gas line for my WHG (20kw), but my parent’s house has a buried 500 gallon tank for their WHG (50kw), as I recall.  It was getting low a week after Sandy.

3.42” in Syosset & 2.43” in Muttontown.

96 at my stations currently.  Just got back from double header 10u baseball games in Hicksville.  It’s getting hot out there but thankfully there is a breeze even in the sun. Just have to stay hydrated & throw sunscreen on. 

Finished at 100.8 in Muttontown & 100.1 in Syosset for highs.

100.7 in Muttontown & 100.1 in Syosset currently

99.5 Syosset & 99.3 Muttontown so far for highs now.

98.9 Syosset & 98.7 Muttontown so far for highs.

98.2 currently at both my stations.

At Massapequa Park tonight for fireworks, you would never know there was a heatwave, very comfortable night.

Yeah wasn’t bad just N in East Meadow for Little League baseball.  Breeze helped this evening.  One win away from winning the district & advancing to sectionals. 

91.8 for the high at both my stations today.

Came across this kind of by accident just now.

This is "Earthlight" who used to be a regular and great poster on this forum.

Wishing him well.  Way too young for this.  Jeez.

Yeah I posted this in the banter thread yesterday.  Scary stuff for his age, glad he survived.

Not sure if anyone saw this. Earthlight almost saw the light:
