    Very true. Patterns like to lock in and stay. We are experiencing that in the NYC area with a pretty serious drought that keeps intensifying. .

    That would be a dream scenario for east coast surfers. Prolific swell producer with no landfall worries. One thing is for sure, plenty of untouched warm waters to feed off of .

    Unfortunately if you see an oak that has turned brown it’s dead. Some other trees like red maples for example will turn yellow and gradually shed leaves. Those may survive. But overall this is extremely serious. I don’t even want to think about what another hot dry two weeks will do .

    It’s been burned to a crisp. Just more proof that, that’s the issue, as if we needed any. As bad as the drought is in the city, it’s a whole other level on the south shore. At this rate there will be serious forest damage and the potential for west coast style fires once we get our first strong cold front and NW winds .

    It’s really going to get bad… massive tree die off incoming. Not to mention the fire danger .

    Part of me is pretty sad that the drought will intensify on the south shore of Nassau, with many trees already dead or dying. On the the other hand I find any extreme weather event interesting. .00” for yesterday in wantagh at my parents and .00” at my place in Lynbook .

    The brick wall Effect is a amazing heading towards the city. Although there are many factors, the bone dry ground from there east is an contributor .

    .34” on the uws. Just enough to help slow catastrophe. I did notice allot of trees browning and yellowing on the southern state yesterday. Some do it as a defense mechanism and will be fine (assuming we break the drought soon) others are straight up dying. .

    It’s absolutely mind boggling. I would have bet the farm this year would be hyperactive. This could be the climate change issue that keeps storm numbers low in the Atlantic .

    Complete joke, I can promise you it was at least in the low 90s on the uws. My truck thermometer which is pretty damn accurate was 94/95 this afternoon. Still 92 heading home from work now. Drying out again, had to stay late to water

    That would be a life saver. I was forced to do a huge landscape installation on campus in an are without irrigation this week. Despite working at an institution with some of the smartest people in the world. We should see offshore water temps going for records this month based on the predicted pattern. That will have a feed back to support more convection

    It was only a matter of time. Hopefully the drought areas see something beforehand d

    Yes you are getting more insulation into the water. But wind speeds also play a role through upwelling. While a blockbuster year is seeming more unlikely, once the SAL starts to fade, there will be plenty of warm water to take advantage of.

    .13” at the wantagh meso. The south shore loves to drought in the summer. Even mature trees are starting to drop leaves. If we do not get anything soon trees will start to die. Which happened in 1998? The year with the sunrise fires. A beautiful grove of 100’+ tulip trees died in a preserve near wantagh high school. They could be seen for miles around as they were the tallest trees on the south shore by far.

    Actually the heaviest rain missed the areas that have had most of the rain and hit areas that haven’t. So overall a needed event.
  17. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Drastically cut numbers because of quite July! What kind of numbers are you talking here? I could see 2/1/1 or something like that. Far from drastic
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    That’s actually allowing for more insulation absorption. It will be fun to look back at these season cancel posts in 2 months

    We just had a great storm on the uws. Some of the heaviest rain rates and flash flooding since ida. Definitely a helper for the recent dry conditions. Meanwhile at home on the south shore, the typical Sumer flash drought continues
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Much stronger onshore flow tomorrow, so agree at least
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s the same story every summer. It’s just how our geography effects the weather. they may drift south and fizzle as the day progresses giving the south shore 7 drops
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Got blitzed on the uws. Some of the heaviest rates I have ever seen, pure white out looking up town
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Another decade or two and you will have your wish

    I had a black tip (3-5’) on the line from a kayak right off Jones beach Sunday. I got it close enough to see the approximate size and species before he snapped the line. He took me for a nice ride before hand

    Zero rain yesterday on the south shore. So the drought continues and intensifies. meanhile here on the uws the drought has ended at least temporarily.
