Ambrose Jet certainly wasn’t a bust. JFK gusting to 40 last hour. Might want to avoid the S Shore beaches especially late afternoon this week. 

Currently cranking in south wantagh at my dad’s house. At least it’s relatively cool, I got cooked at jones today despite putting on sunscreen. Uv index must have been off the charts, I’m already ten.

EPS looks warm for the entire run

Hr 0-120

 

Gotta get those sea temps up to 80+ for that cat three that’s coming to decimate the Long Island power grid in September….

Really started to rip at jones beach. Constant gusts to around 30 and the wave hight has doubled since this morning. Almost a bit chilly sitting in the life guard stand with such a strong wind. Still not on par with some Ambrose jet events I have witnessed over the years, with gusts to 50+ and the whole beach being a sand storm.

Already a nice breeze up here on the N Shore.  Walked back from dropping car off at car wash & gusting to 15mph already.  Shoreline of S Shore has to be 20+ mph already.

Surprisingly calm currently at jones beach. Maybe 10 knots. Ocean is a gorgeous tropical turquoise currently. Water has warmed up considerably since the wind shifted onshore again. 

Just got home to the island and it’s dumping still. Back at work on the uws, we really missed out. Exactly where I need the rain for my gardens….

Had some gusts around 40 on the uws. Lots of small l branches down, rain was meh

Radar is meh. The squall lines we used to get back in the 90s would laugh at this event. 

Nice cold pool behind the line. Looks borderline mcs. Should hold together for the city.

I am so ready for storms today. Let's hope we're not disappointed. It appears that it's gonna be a long time before we have another chance, so we really need today to deliver. 

Exactly. If this fails it’s going to flash drought next week. Really need this one.

Today looks like isolated activity this afternoon with the more organized stuff going north of the area

I really hope that’s not the case .27” at the park. Which means I have to spend the entire day tomorrow watering. Today I’m working at jones beach and there is leftover flooding from this mornings rain.

You don’t see this very often in the Baltimore area.

 

I was in college at Towson md for the college park (UMD) tornado outbreak, and we got the left overs of the same cell. Only stronger storm I have experienced was in Dallas Texas in 98. They are the far north east fringe of Dixie Allie. The reason I bring it up those were the strongest storms I have ever witnessed. Still, an impressive night down there. 

Ripping right now in lynbrook. Radar isn’t doing it justice, I must be under an intense pocket. So loud under my awning I thought it might be small hail. 

Looks like the line is splitting the city… ..urban heat island effect

Very dark with rolling thunder currently at jones beach. Wind tripled in speed in about an hour too. Hoping to see some lightning over the ocean

Nice baby super cell (discrete cell) moving through central Jersey. Let’s see if it holds together moving towards the city.

Barely a drop here on the south shore of Nassau. Hopefully not a sign of a repeat from last summer when we couldn’t buy a drop during most of these events

Every time I hear the Blue Angels I think it’s thunder. I’m pretty far away from ISP, I’m surprised I can hear them.

79 here, had a brief shower this morning that has now evaporated.

Wasn’t the blue angles, they were half way through the show (they are at the end) and they had cancel the show. A ridiculously thick fog bank rolled in off the ocean. It’s still so foggy here at jones beach we have the water closed as we can’t see the water from the life guard stand. And speaking of the water it’s incredibly warm for this early in the season. A couple sunny warm days and light winds and it’s in the mid 60s

Long Island certainly overdue for a land falling hurricane. Last one was Gloria in 1985.

They tend to come in bunches. 54 had 3 events produce hurricane force winds on Long Island. Carol, Edna and hazel. It really comes down to the pattern. If we end up in a landfall pattern for the north east this season it could get real serious. 38 today, would be a 100+ billion dollar disaster 

Absolutely ripping on the uws. Flash flooding type rain

That’s actually a pretty solid MCS building. Nice cold pool precip pocket on the backside too. Should hold together all the way to the city

holy crap

Fully expect a parade of majors in the mdr. Maybe even multiple cat 5s. Historic season incoming.

70dbz spike on that supercell near New City

edit...75dbz+ sheesh

That’s golf ball or larger hail for sure. Would love to see video.

There’s a couple of nice super cells in Pa currently. Hoping for at least a decent severe event tomorrow

Siberia

Siberia doesn’t get much snow. (Mainland, maybe on the coast) it’s just a giant dome of cold dry air most of the winter. Sunny and -50 for months. The summers are surprisingly hot with swarms of mosquitoes so thick it looks like a dust storm. Probably the worst place on earth to live.

The last few rain events including today so far haven’t really amounted to much, lots of .01 type hour rates. Let’s see if that changes later, better rates to the south.
