4.5” in 5 days here. Pretty much everything this month fell in 5 days .

Still pretty crappy at jones beach, just had some drizzle. Drone show approaching and hardly anyone in the park. .

2.5” of rain here yesterday. Far from a few showers. .

Might as well just need the drought, some moderate rain had the same effect when it’s 49 and raw as drizzle. .

Best thunderstorm in a few years in sw Nassua. Winds were sub severe but the rain an ctg lightning was extremely impressive. Over 2” here .

JFK dropped from 92 to 83 in minutes with a slight shift in wind direction. I have experienced this hundreds of times on the beach as the seabreeze fights an offshore flow. Sometime it can be as drastic as 20 degrees in seconds .

Agreed. Better to get some protracted strataform rains then days of misery mist. Any storms and heavy rain today will likely just run off. Earliest I have ever seen brown lawns around here. .

I went for a quick dip no wetsuit after going for a run on the beach Sunday. With the light onshore flow and full sun nearshore water temp was def mid to upper 50s. Water was carribean turquoise at west end 2. Buoy 44065 currently 56.7 2026-05-19 03:50 pm S 19.4 23.3 3.6 5 4.1 S 30.01 - 60.6 56.7 58.5 - - -

Meanwhile 76 at JFK. Not sure why there is a heat advisory for southern queens. This is the exact scenario for which queens an Nassau were broken up into southern and northern. Should be a heat advisory for northern Nassau. .

I’ll take the under city east. .1”-.25” strong onshore flow will do it thing. .

Today’s going to be a sneaky moderate abrose jet day. Some gusts near 40 along the south shore late this afternoon. .

The other day was nuts with gusts near 50mph for a few hours. The resulting sandstorm will keep people off the beach regardless. When the sand is dry and winds are over 40 you have to be insane to be on the beach. .

I was just talking with the head jones beach life gaurd and we were saying what miserable experience it would be if we were open. I can’t imagine what it’s like down there right now. These events are so localized that it could be gusting over 50 right on beach. .

JFK sustained 37 gusting to 48 now .

These abrose jet events are very localized and sneaky. But it’s definitely gusting near 50mph in Lynbrook. My patios covered in leaves and small branches .
