That would be a HEC in February. Timing is cutting it close with MDW. We definitely do not want that slowing down.
-
Serial derecho heading into western New York now. Started yesterday in Wisconsin and crossed multiple Great Lakes. These monsters often create their own atmospheric conditions and can last much longer then modeled. Not saying it makes it here, but something to watch.
-
I could see a derecho coming out of the Ohio Valley. Most likely follow a similar path to June 12. So south Jersey special.
-
Yeah here too. Current dew point at JFK is 64 and yesterday it was 63 at the same time.
-
Very similar to why south Florida doesn’t see the type of 100 degree heat you see in Texas. We are years from seeing a Florida climate here but the halmarks are starting.
-
Another convective blob firing up off the Jersey shore and inbound to the island. Talk about a stuck pattern.
-
Ok we are getting way off topic here. But Hokkaido gets the majority of its snow from ocean effect snow. As cold air from Siberia travels over the Sea of Japan. It’s like lake effect on steroids. Their synoptic snows aren’t much greater then say Maine.
-
Yeah being so close to the Gulf Stream definitely enhances our precipitation. When compared to places at 40 north on the east coast of Asia. Rain has tapered down to drizzle on western LI.
-
I was just going to post that, some serious rates down there. Mostly light to occasionally moderate on western Li
-
Yeah I just got soaked picking plants for a landscape project. My client insisted on doing it today. Based on radar we should approach an inch through out most of the metro
-
The Wantagh meso 107 is a extreme example of what a dry west wind can do on the south shore. That station is less then a mile from the bay. I think allot of it has to due with air exiting the urban heat island of the city and continuing through the most developed part of the island. I was life guarding at jones beach that day and we had several heat exhaustion incidents. On the sand it can be even hotter.
-
The March 2010 high wind event produced the strongest widespread winds on the island since the December 92 nor’easter. Frequent gusts to hurricane fource. Ground saturation definitely played a role in the severity of the tree damage. Another factor was the length of time without a similar wind event so trees had allot of time to grow. A gas station canopy blew over on Wantagh Ave and merrick road right by my parents house. That even really changed the landscape of the south shore with so many mature trees uprooted. Then Irene and Sandy finished off the job. It’s amazing to me that we haven’t seen more high wind events since (other then Issiais)
-
I missed that one, I was working in New Hyde Park at the time but wasn’t at work. I have only seen pea sized hail twice on the island. I have seen quarter size in central Jersey and the golf ball storm in Texas. Gorilla hail is on my weather bucket list.
-
Yeah seems very early for that type of heat. That’s the exact reason I could never live in Texas. It’s only going to get worse, it’s almost like winter here in that you don’t go outside much when the HI is 110+. The thunderstorms in Texas are amazing though. Best thunderstorm I have ever experienced was a true super cell in Dallas. Golf ball size hail and other level lighting.
-
The Black Hills have some serious elevation and have had some crazy late season dumps.
-
There is some truth to that. If you look back at periods that had similar CO2 levels and resultant temps 5c warmer then current. The poles were warm enough to support forrests. Warming is much more pronounced closer to the poles.
-
These over the top heatwaves seem to be increasing as everything heads north. Our summer climate more mirrors the coastal Carolinas. And Montreal the old NYC.
-
Yeah the rest of the week looks like crap. Hopefully we can salvage at least some of Memorial Day weekend but the pattern isn’t conducive for beach weather either way.
-
Yeah I had me feet in and it stung. If I’m surfing it’s still full suit boots and gloves. Some of those kids are drunk/high. Allot of high schools choose jones beach for senior cut day due to the lack of rule enforcement. I mean, for mine back in 00 we burried a keg in ice the night before. Had the tap sticking out of a hole cut in a beach blanket. Ahhh the good old days.
-
Just took a nice 6 mile walk right on the ocean at Jones Beach. Senior cut day with kids running in and out of the water. Gorgeous beach day if you don’t mind a little bite in the east wind.
-
Ok so maybe the Ap thing was a bad example. Where it does matter is in declaring official heat waves. Opening cooling centers for poor elderly and the homeless.
-
Lee Goldberg has mentioned the Park not being representative. But it’s still the go to for apps, which is where like 90% of people get their weather info now.
-
The issue gets worse and worse. Wait until the first heatwave and it’s 92+ at every station but 89 at the Park and the media reports 89. It’s a big pet peeve of mine because it’s not the reality of the experience of the everyday person.
-
If MJO812 comes with I’ll bring the tools and do the trimming!!!!
