  1. Sun fighting to come out at times in Centereach. I’ve seen multiple accidents and it hasn’t rained in hours, like wtf, I hate days like this.
  2. 2.36” final total? Idk, every time I think it’s ending it starts raining again. I can’t take anymore blowing mist.
  3. 0.42”, more sideways blowing mist than rain today.
  4. 0.22” so far, falling sideways.
  5. Picked up about 1.50”, half of which came from slow moving tiny cells that popped up well after the main batch earlier.
  6. I’ve seen entire stands of pines just outright dead, where the only thing green are any oaks that may be present, this is especially true around OKX/Brookhaven National Lab where I’ve seen them being cut down. I’m sure all the dead wood is just enhancing the risk of wildfires, these extended dry periods aren’t any help. Pretty much every native pine here is a preferred host for the Southern Pine Beetle unfortunately, it makes sense given these trees are native to the South as well. The Shortleaf Pine, a mostly southern species that’s nearly extirpated from Long Island, has been decimated by the Southern Pine Beetle in parts of the South.
  7. The desertification of Suffolk County. My lightning notifications are going crazy, feels like the weather version of store locators that include Connecticut in the results as if it’s down the street.
  8. It was 90 yesterday at this time and today is beating that by multiple degrees, with clouds. Upper 90’s pretty much guaranteed I think.
  9. Does the NWS acknowledge the Mesonet at all?
  10. Highest temp of the year at 96. I also hit 96 in July but today was a few tenths of a degree hotter. Crazy. Still the lowest summer max temp since I moved here, all summers have seen upper 90’s. We’ll see what tomorrow holds.
  11. I can’t explain why but Lee is giving me vibes I haven’t felt since Sandy became a tropical depression. This isn’t to say I think Lee will impact us directly, the east coast is very long, but I feel like I’ve seen this before, and I’m not buying the fish storm talk just yet. With Sandy I just knew, I’m not there yet with Lee. I’m just hoping this isn’t an “If Sandy occurred a month earlier it would’ve been worse” situation.
  12. Town of Brookhaven, I’m on the North Shore.
  13. 93 today, 94 yesterday, 92 the day before. First heat wave here since late July (7/26-7/29).
  14. High of 92 here, currently 85. Perfection.
  15. 3 90’s this August vs 17 90’s last August.
  16. This rain is so cold, I’m disgusted.
