  1. Yep, it’s been traveling over more heat content than most classic storms from the past. Throw that in with rapid movement and relatively small size and there is almost no up welling cooler water temps. It’s hard to up well when your 28c therm is 1000 meters deep.
  2. That oceanic heat content hasn’t been disturbed in a few years: add that to the fast movement and it’s just heat heat heat. Being able to overcome normal factors…..
  3. For the Atlantic absolutely. What I think we need to start considering is the NPAC where waters have always been warmer. Hence the many intense super typhoons over the years.
  4. Yeah definitely dark with rolling thunder but nothing like the other night, we’ll see. At least I’ll take the rain.
  5. Actually pouring finally in lynbrook, after the first storm fell apart. Not severe by any means but decent.
  6. It’s pretty much inevitable this time of year on western long Long Island. Somehow eastern suffers ok does better despite being further into the ocean.
  7. Had to have had over an inch here as the hail core moved through. I have a great video that’s on my social:
  8. Winds were like 40ish, but what Impressed me was the hail.
  9. Best storm in several years in south nassua. Lots of pea sized hail
  10. If this misses the city I’m going to lose it!
  11. Very impressive upwelling event off of New Jersey the last 2 days. Water temps went from 72 to 61! That’s huge, and probably historic. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44091
  12. It’s really strange. Because even the east end had storms yesterday and today. And currently there is a nice line of storms over Nantucket. One of yhese days I’ll figure it out. But we have gone to flash drought for sure.
  13. Going to be a 00.00” and another 00 for today on the south shore. I guess this was the climo before we started changing the environment 200 years ago. The extreme south shore was an extension from of the pine barrens. For lack of water not lack the of the soil nutrients.
  14. Wow, this sucks, for those of us that care about plants on western Long Island. We totally missed again (yesterday too): the last line in Pa is wreaking as expected.
  15. Looks like we are playing split the city with the first round of storms. Really need rain on the island
  16. I taught my whole life guard crew about the abtoss jet today. About as perfect of an example as you can get. It’s a full on sand storm now and the ocean is just white water. Have to be 40mph gusts now
  17. That’s not every beach. At jones we close at 8 and often 830 during heatwaves. it’d currently a full on sand storm at jones and im getting blasted as i type. Definitely gusting into the 30s. Wave heights have increased to 6’ or so and building fast. Numerous rescues so far.
  18. Easily getting 30mph gusts now at jones beach.
  19. You would never know what’s coming later at jones beach currently. Winds are moderate around 20 knots and wave height about 3’. As I have experienced many Ambrose jet events over the years it comes on hard around 3pm and peaks around 6, sometimes doubling in speed from 2-4. Wave heights can triple as well. Really hoping for some good rains later as well. If we get some good convection move into the abrose jet we potential for a giant roll cloud, which is the be of the most amazing meteorological events we have here.
  20. Light jacket weather, too hot for a hoodie.
  21. This is exactly the point. For all intents and purposes this is a heat wave regardless of the park. But the media reports the park, I heard on 120wins yesterday “looks like we are going to avoid a heat wave” it’s just wrong and annoying to people like us. meanwhile it’s another perfect beach day at jones beach, the waters turquoise and pushing 70. Which is incredible for June. A full moth ahead of schedule
  22. Still gorgeous at jones beach, just got out of the water which is warming rapidly as expected. I’ll be be back in the city Thursday and I’m not looking forward to it!
  23. Another perfect beach day, assuming we do not see another Ambrose jet event. The winds currently about the same as this time yesterday so it’s possible.
  24. 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.
  25. Gotta get those sea temps up to 80+ for that cat three that’s coming to decimate the Long Island power grid in September….
