Nassau County, oh yeah!!!!

No surprise here:

Summer's here and water authorities across Long Island are reminding residents the conservation is key — and that water usage regulations and recommendations are to be followed to not only reduce consumption but save money. 

The Suffolk County Water Authority said that 70% of the 70 billion-plus gallons of drinking water pumped all year is actually used for irrigation systems, noting Friday that the Environmental Protection Agency has found that 50% of that water is wasted "due to inefficient lawn watering practices." All of that can lead to water shortages — and higher water bills. 

Suffolk water authority officials at a news conference on Thursday discussed water-saving conservation measures, starting with a reminder about usage regulations, all in hopes of keeping the Long Island aquifer from becoming overburdened.

In both Nassau and Suffolk residents are not allowed to water lawns between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and usage is further limited to odd and even days, based on address: Homes and businesses with addresses ending in an odd number can only water on odd-numbered days, while those with addresses ending in even numbers can only water on even-numbered days. 

The SCWA and many local water districts, such as Western Nassau, Freeport, Jericho, Plainview and others, are also reminding residents of many other water conservation tips, including advice on taking advantage of water-saving devices like smart irrigation controllers.

Nice line forming in W Suffolk, started to develop around Nassau/Suffolk border. 

Appears the rain hole lives on here in Nassau and W Suffolk.

91.8 for Muttontown & 91.2 for Syosset for highs today.

93 degrees here right now, but it doesn't feel oppressive with the dewpoint at 60. 

There will be some activity thursday night and friday, but it doesn't look like a widespread major event. Hopefully we'll get a downpour here. I watered the garden yesterday because it was already starting to get dry again. We really missed out on that last event, so hopefully we'll get something friday or over the weekend. 

DPs are modeled to go up overnight tonight when we are back with the 70 DPs by Friday

EWR should touch 95. NBM & GFS MOS have 94 today and tomorrow for EWR.

Amazing how western Long Island consistently gets jumped. I had a feeling the east end would get crushed. Farmingdale with .26”.

.56 at Muttontown & .28 in Syosset, W LI is the dry spot for the area.

Lots of mammatus around this afternoon. 

Oyster bay is smooth. Currently kayaking & storms staying on the S Shore it seems.

Going to try it and see what happens. Will probably be on a mooring anyway so if it rains we will just hunker down for a bit

12z hrrr has storms between 3-5pm over the island fwiw.  Just watch the radar otherwise to see if any of the model simulated radar ends up correct, which I’m skeptical of for LI.

Uptons forecast is essentially a washout. Not sure if I take out the boat in the morning or wait until the evening

Look at the radar, I think you’re fine this morning.

Muttontown was 89.9 (90) & Syosset 88.0 today for the high.

So far it has gotten to 89 in Muttontown & 88 in Syosset.

Guess NWS has gone woke. No mention of Independence Day in their forecast.

Point & Click doesn't show it but when you go to the zone forecasts it does show it.

Appears the same old if Euro weeklies are correct in the extended.

I see the HRRR near surface smoke forecast graphics on Pivotal, but they only go out to 48 hours (every 6 hrs); is there any decent smoke forecast model that goes out maybe 5-7 days that is available on-line?  Thanks. 

I just did a quick google search & came across the following link:

Has the GFS domain out to 120hrs.
