Stations that I follow on Fire Island are measuring wind gusts of 40-50 mph this afternoon. My max gust so far today is 41 mph at Cherry Grove.

Eventually the longer term pattern will change. It’s well known that the north shore is the place to be on LI during winter storms with the added moisture from the sound entraining into the synoptic scale precipitation bands. Now the pattern is more like that of 70s/80s with the coastal hugger storm tracks. I moved out to PA in 2005 and you guys probably got 3x more snow since then through 20/21 than what I saw here.

Absolutely true.

I grew up in East Northport so I can tell you that the combination of the slightly higher elevations on the north shore and a very light breeze off the sound during the overnight hours messed up many a frost opportunity with this type of synoptic setup. It’s why places in the center of the island and out by Westhampton are usually the cold spots.

I am thinking the same for here. There has actually already been frost in my neighborhood in the low spots but not in my yard (I am on a hill top).

We need Arctic stream involvement for snow to the coast this time of year. Polar stream involvement means possible snow for the Poconos/Catskills.

.54 here to green up the grass.

Total yesterday here was 2.35”. Nice overperformer.

0.7 “ south of you in Bethlehem Twp. Definitely much needed.

While not a big thunder producer here (CTG strikes) the convergence zone that has set up across the Lehigh Valley has really produced in terms of rain. Today’s rain total is up to 1.38”. We are under a FFW which is a good call from Mt. Holly.

No big winds here. Plenty of colorful radar echoes overhead. Interesting storm in the sense that there is a constant low rumbling of thunder with it. It’s all in the clouds. It’s like somebody set a sound machine to thunder instead of rain. 0.30” so far with 67F.

Interesting sky here however virtually no lightning. Tornado warned storm is just south of Allentown currently.

Overcast with light rain here as well. Looks like we get a reprieve from the heat today (or at least part of the day). 77 F

Skies have really opened up out here. We are getting some decent lightning with this including CTG. We are severe warned however there’s no wind to speak of.
