Smoke is coming through my N95.

The sun is now gone in Farmingdale, the wind is making it feel like a haboob. I feel like I have sunglasses on.

I can hear the planes at FRG but I can’t see them and don’t know if they’re taking off or landing.

Surreal.

This is the most entertainment we’ve had since the late Dec cold front.

Orange tint on everything although the sky isn’t yet as extreme as some photos I’ve seen from upstate. Sun still visible but obscured with a UV Index of 4. Temp is 73, I think we’ll see mid 70’s at best today.

Wild. I was there earlier.

Indoor air quality has deteriorated over the past few hours, I have an air purifier with a wildfire filter (for cooking smoke) and it’s barely keeping up.

The sky is brown now, looks very ominous.

Nothing here except the occasional distant rumble of thunder.

Smells like highway fumes outside.

High of 91 here, currently 82. 87 yesterday.

Saw some respectable anvils in the distance over CT/MA a couple of hours ago, looks like crap now.

Ground level smoke. Slight burning birthday candle smell.

I see the smoke to my east, looks like a blindingly bright white sheet underneath the sun.

Temp 59, low was 46. Loving this weeks-long stretch of SoCal weather.

78 with wall to wall sunshine. High of 81 so far.

2” on the dot. Much needed.

78/44 split here.

Sneaky 90 today. Dipped down to 84 now with some cloud cover.

Bone dry, my lavender (of all things) was wilting this morning.

Kinda wild how the pressure is still in the 900’s.

At least this rain is warmer than yesterday’s.

2.72” and counting event total.

I wonder what’s going with OKX. Down since this morning.

Topped out at 55 after it cleared out for a bit a short while ago. No measurable rain, just a few occasional drops earlier. Garbage.

0.01” lol. What a waste.

Warmed up to 73 and now it’s 64 and raining.

Something I've noticed about the sea breeze is the temperature experiences a jump just before the sea breeze comes in.  It's almost like a temperature rise just before a cold front passes.  And after the sea breeze comes through the sky clears out-- also similar to a cold front passage.

 

I used to live next to the LIE, which was a north shore vs south shore climate battleground. The sea breeze didn't always make it that far inland, but its appearance was normally the hottest part of the day.

I watched this happen in real time today, my temp spiked up to 94 and quickly fell back into the 88-90 range. This happened over the course of a few minutes. Now I have a fake high temp for my records. Yesterday felt hotter with sustained 90’s.

Hit 90 again here, currently 89.

First 60 (69 on Jan 4)

First 70 (73 on Feb 16)

First 80 (84 on Apr 12)

First 90 (91 on Apr 13)

All early this year.

Running about a degree ahead of yesterday at this time, currently 88.

High was 91.2, currently 86.7.

Yes indeed. 90 now.
