    While this is true, like CC forecasts any storm that finds a hole in the shear will have a higher ceiling for intensification.

    Wow are you lucky. I’m super sensitive to poison Ivy. I almost always have it this time of year. I’m a horticulturalist not arborist like yourself so I spend my days weeding my gardens on the Ivy League campus i maintain. (Yes it’s Columbia/Barnard) I have tried in vain to remove it all. I think, since it’s such an important native, it just get bird seed dropped when I weed it unaware when it’s undistinguishable. Either that or cross contamination from a string trimmer. You would love my gardens. We just took down a huge red oak that was getting torn apart due to wind tunneling from a new building. I thought, based on old photos it was 75 or years old, but when I counted the rings it was 154. So planted at the same time Broadway was built that far north!

    No shot, ash are done. On the scale of chestnut. Might see some resilient suckers pop out of the old long dead trees. But the ash borer beetle is no joke. Really sucks, one of the best east coast natives.

    Where is that exactly? Interested in the fact that there are waves, can’t be a lake by you…

    Bring it. Feast or famine is the new norm. I would always prefer extreme wet over dry, being that I’m a horticulturalist. The vast majority of cultivated plants prefer wet over dry.

    I’m at Jones beach right now and it has been ripping for a while. Definitely heavier then the radar would suggest

    .29” in the park, so it looks like the screw zone was right through the city. Wonderful back endless watering tomorrow

    So my casual observation of drought causes drought observation was just totally nailed in with this batch. Last week when the hail core and heavy rain access moves over western Suffolk it exactly mirrored the area of heavy rain that just moved through the same area From the opposite direction… Coincidence??

    That’s a pretty juiced radar. It’s going to take allot to make that disappear before getting to the metro. This isn’t like an early spring squall line that hits the breaks before it gets to the coast

    Yeah you roll the dice enough and eventually you win. Even still I’m sure there will be winners and losers as we are in convection season.

    Awesome! I work at field 4/central mall. It’s the place to be if you like action, which I do. He’s going to fall in love with RM. I’m just a weekender/part timer now. I live in Lynbrook and work in the city so it’s just too much extra commuting to switch to rm. Im hesitantly holding off on watering to see what unfolds later on campus. Anything less then .5” isn’t going to cut it. But the potential (euro) for a wet week would be my dream come true.

    Nice I’m there right now, my 24th summer life guarding at jones beach. Today wasn’t nearly as nice a beach day as expected. Definitely some smoke in the air here when the sea breeze kicked in.

    Kfok down to 39, pretty amazing for June 8th. I have a feeling the lack of solar insulation yesterday and lower day time temps led to a cold launch pad. This is what you would expect in a nuclear winter

    Another run of the mill ground wetter here in lynbrook. I was out in Amityville earlier and there were enormous puddles everywhere so they definitely had a good soaker.

    Just saw a video from lindenhurst of heavy quarter size hail. Very solid by Long Island standards where’s blue wave
  16. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Decent little storm on the uws, couple of good bolts and some brief heavy rain. At this point any rain is welcome

    I don’t think these maps are really useful for the general public interested in gardening. In the last few days soil moisture has dropped so low that even my gardens on campus that contain super hardy native plants are needing to be irrigated. We keep having flash droughts as part of our new climate regime. Feast or famine just like with snow
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Yeah that was very impressive. It also was during the summer heat so it just tagged on to our normal ozone issues. At least this ones coming from what is normally one of our best airmass generation areas so it’s all just natural wood smoke.
  19. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s actually very densely forested. Very similar forest type to that of Maine. Another summer drought is the last thing I want. As we head into maximum solar insulation things get dry very quick.
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    That’s definitely the number one overdue for the big one spot in the US. They used to get a major every few years back in the 20-40s.
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Pressure gradients… I have no idea how to respond to this as it would take 100,000 words. Let’s just say, I know your not serious. Pretty much perfect weather currently on the Ivy League uws.
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Just drove from work on the uws to my dads in wantagh, tons and tons of flooding everywhere.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s still raining deceptively hard compared to the radar presentation. Low level moisture, like pouring drizzle.
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Pouring sheet drizzle on the uws currently. Flower peddles clogging all the drains on campus.
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Looks like this ends up being far from a bust, this final slug is producing close to an inch on its own. Lots of flooding driving from the island to the city
