Only a light wsw wind at jones beach currently. As much as I would love a raging Ambrose jet today, I’m not seeing it. Water temp also plummeting with westerly component to the wind. .
Just enough west in the wind to upwell on the Jersey shore. Forgot you were a Jersey guy. Near shore water temps are incredibly sensitive to local winds. .
Wouldn’t doubt it. Very dry mid levels here. Though sometimes these very long lasting MCS/derechos can pull a rabit out of a hat. I’ll take any rain I can get. Spent the morning watering weeping hydrangeas. .
If this verified, which it looks more and more likely, it’s going to be a potentially dangerous situation. We have several hundred thousand people coming to jones beach for the 250th special air show and fireworks. .
Damn that really really sucks. Never want to rely strictly on convection. Even if you do get under decent convection with the ground parched it mostly runs off. We really want that strataform zone to trend south for a protracted soaking. .
