.03” for JFK for this entire event so far. Thats absolutely incredible. Watch the line disappear as soon as it gets to queens later. There is a very valid reason for this. Water temps are in the low 60s which is an extremely stable temp. Thats why most of Long islands extreme rain events of the past have been in august when temps are in the 70s

Usually the city does fairly well and it’s only the island that gets screwed. But wow, we can’t buy decent rain on the uws. Just a couple showers today. It’s, not over though.

That’s exactly why I would choose the mountains, plenty of amenities with the ski resorts year round. Plus that part of upstate ny is flat, so not generally that pretty. -
For us yeah, but south Jersey is priming nicely. I fully expect some incredible storms there later.
-
That would be amazingly ideal. When was the last time we had a regional mcs. I remember so many growing up in the late 80s early 90s! Since then… just like the Alberta clipper, gone….

I’m sure they are in for an exciting day tomorrow. We will more then likely watch a mature squall line fizzle as it hits the metro

Fog was so bad at Jones earlier we had to close the water to swimming again with visibility at zero. Currently it’s foggy but vis is up to about a half a mile.

Exactly. The ultimate screw zone. As a result I was questioned by my boss why I was still watering Friday on campus. (Facilities director) He wanted the system shut off due to the forecast for so much rain. I said umm when in drought expect drought. I was hoping the whole time he would be right and I would be wrong. I was right….. Having both a passion for horticulture and meteorology (I don’t have the math ability to peruse a career in meteorology) I am very well set to feel the needs of the gardens I maintain. And they are the best in the whole city

It’s so foggy at Jones beach currently we had to prevent swimming. High dews traveling over still relatively cool water.

.16” in wantagh and .14” in Manhattan. The inevitable screw zone continues. There has to be a geographic/orographic reasoning behind this consistent result.

Find 50 ways for it not to happen. Though I’m sure some of use will do really well. Just put a stripe of fail right through the City and western li

That’s the storm capital of the east coast. So, doubtful. If you stayed around here you have a much better chance of precip fail!
-
Just keeps adding to the drought=drought theory. Although the moisture source for this low is the Atlantic. So this is probably more like a too much confluence situation we see with winter storms. Glad I watered yesterday.
-
Exactly. We need a prolonged very wet period to bring back up ground water levels as well. It’s actually been wetter on the south shore of the island than it has been in the city which is very rare during the warm season. Meanwhile, it definitely does not feel like the first day of summer!

My ideal spot is as high as you can get in the southern greens of Vermont. There’s a poster (Mitch) in the NE forum that’s at 2500’ and averages like 200” a winter. No heat in the summer too at that elevation and you’re only a 4 hour drive from NYC

Just had a nice burst of hail at Jones beach. Pea size but enough to whiten the beach a touch
-
SNE getting blasted right now. It’s almost like the it wants to rain anywhere but here.
-
.20” on the uws. I’m literally furious. I didn’t water the campus today because I thought we would be ok. Didn’t even get through some thick perennials. (Irrigation is off for a huge area currently do to events. Drought=drought for the win again as Suffolk somehow scored again
-
Definitely has something to do with geography and relation to the ocean on a SW flow aloft. But something seems to really be separating them from us the past few years. Endless severe down there and we can’t score

2023 Atlantic Hurricane season

While this is true, like CC forecasts any storm that finds a hole in the shear will have a higher ceiling for intensification. -
New England Met Spring 2023 Banter

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
