34 here as well. Some frost on the cars, but the vegetable plants in the garden are fine. Shouldn't be any worse tonight and then we go into an extended warmer pattern, so the growing season should continue into early november. Very happy about that.

39 out here and happy about the growing season continuing as well. Fingers crossed for tonight but I don’t think we’ll freeze based on how we did last night. A light frost shouldn’t bother the established plants too much.

Yanks moved to tomorrow at 1:07 pm

I bet they could have played. MLB needs to consult Americanwx 

Does anyone have an in-depth study on what a couple of cool weeks in October correlates to for the following summer? I bet it’s hot and humid.

My weather station back home picked up about 1.72”, did the south shore get relatively shafted again?

Assuming Lindenhurst? Sounds too low. Jfk and Islip were both over 3 inches. I’m in Seaford at 3.65 on my weatherflow.  I checked a couple weatherflows in your area and they are both over 3 inches. I know they use haptic rain sensors but when they are all pretty close in measurement, I think you can say it’s accurate. 

My storm total so far is 3.15. That is more than the 3.10 I received in July-August-September combined. 

.16 here. I’m 3 miles north of the bay. I don’t think the immediate south shore got anything (as is tradition).

Decent rains here last night with .73 of an inch.

.73 by you .32 here in Seaford and .16 at the Wantagh mesonet along the bay.  About a 5-6 mile distance north to south. That’s  been the gradient all summer.

1.17 inches here.

You are in Levittown, correct? I can’t be much more than 3 miles south of you and only got .46. 

.46. biggest rain event since June.  
still less than 2 inches total rainfall since July 1.

help us second low, you're our only hope

Oh,I’m afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when the rains arrive… 

.16 last night. That’s actually a lot more than I expected. 
 

.60 for the entire month of August

1.45 since July 1st.

East coast Hurricane within 2 weeks?

.02.  We can probably pencil in most of the south shore for D3 extreme drought.

Maybe we can get just enough rain the next few weeks to avoid a drought upgrade to D3. Parts of the area are currently the driest since 2016. The region hasn’t seen a D3 level of drought since 2002. 
 

 

With the way things go around here, I feel like this map might as well show the bullseye for a late season tropical hit.

any reason why that one lake is so cold?

Basically, upwelling.

And in just a few short weeks we’ll have the first official predictions of “winter cancelled” and then we can start looking ahead to next summer!!

.06 inches.

Vegetation could play a factor 

I think is this why mine “runs high”. I live right across the street from a forested nature preserve. I can feel temperature differences even just walking a block away sometimes. Especially in the evening. So I don’t think my sensor is wrong, I just think that’s what it is for where my house is located. 

Does 79.5 count as an 80 degree dew point? I feel like that’s a cheap way to do it. 

Today is another example of why I think a dew point component makes sense in the definition of a “heat wave”. My high so far is 88. I will probably not make it to 90 again today, actually, I rarely do. But my dew point is routinely 76-78 making the heat index in the upper 90s.

Yup, essentially from one end of Rt 135 to the other, drought to deluge. 

Drove from one end to the other on Saturday. Once you are south of Bethpage State Park, everything is toasted.

92/70 currently, yesterday’s 86 screwed up the chance for a 6 day heatwave here. The criteria should be lower for place on the shore…

Or it should have a dew point component. When it’s 89 and a DP of 75, it’s hot. End of story.
