    I believe that’s the highest temp ever recorded at the wantagh meso net. It’s only two years old, but still pretty cool.

    Just a brutal day for me. I have been running a hose over myself. I have been watering non stop. If you want award winning horticulture it’s a necessity https://www.prix-versailles.com/2019-campuses won an award for our new building. If anyone’s interest click the link and you can see the terraces I maintain.

    That thing is epic, look at the rapid movement and super high cloud tops. To me that just as important as radar presentation for discerning what’s a truly a derecho. Although technically the parameters are length and wind speed

    Almost feels like a BDC came through here on the uws. Had a nice break from the rain for a couple hours

    They are pretty hard to predict in advance and very rare around here. I would actually be the most worried in NYC for equipment overload failures.

    I was just setting up our huge portable generator on campus. its been pouring on and off all morning on the uws. Definitely a good thing heading into the mega heat wave

    Heat index’s will be some of the highest we have seen in many many years with dews near 80. The scale is rightfully skewed higher for heat index’s. Expect the park to run way low again after 2” of rain, until things fully dry out by Sunday

    Top layer of top soil will be dry by Friday forget Monday. Looks like I may have jackpoted on the uws. Not so much at home, but I’m never home to enjoy my personal gardens anyway

    Typical careful what you wish for moment for me. The lightning was epic from my unobstructed 18th floor viewing spot on the uws but then had to unclog all the drains on campus. Totally soaked, but so are the plants so it’s a win

    Full on flash flood on the uws
  11. LongBeachSurfFreak
    I wouldn’t say that, the city and the south shore will find a way to miss anything major.

    Still baking on the uws. Waiting for anything to cool things down.

    Today’s ruff for those of us that work outside. Luckily I’ll be life guarding Friday-Sunday at Jones beach. Not that I would be able to get anything done here on campus.

    I cannot wait for some monsoon type rains here on the uws. Watering in this heat is brutal!

    Absolutely feels like being in the tropics. The air has that thick feel. Now let’s get every possible drop out before we roast this weekend. I’m going to freak if we do not get a good soaking on the uws!

    West winds really upwell. You can see the difference in the water color. The dark brown water is colder water from down deep. All you have to do is go a couple hundred yards offshore and the water is green and significantly warmer.

    This was more in comparison to during the week when winds were light onshore and water temps were In the mid 70s. They were mid 60s yesterday at Jones Beach. I doubt there was much variability between jones and cedar. You must just like chilly water!
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    The amazing thing, yesterday near shore waters were down right frigid with relatively strong west winds. So some of our warmest beach days have that cold dark upwelled water. What do you think the chances are of us actually having a good soaking this week? We are officially drying out on the south shore

    It’s obvious the problem is only getting worse. Another couple years of growth and it will not even be usable.
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Only .5 in wantagh. Brutal right now on the uws. Fall can’t come soon enough for me...
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Wow central nj for the win again. Just light to moderate rain on the uws so far.
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s not laziness. First of all they are out in Brookhaven. Second, moving the sensor would screw up the data set. Honestly, I could easily go and prune off the vegetation. But I’d be afraid of it getting back to my employer if I get caught. Bring on the rain tonight, I’m really pulling for this one. I like the setup, in comparison to the past few. I think this is a region wide .5” plus.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Yeah that’s exactly what it is. The top few inches. Trees and established shrubs and perennials have no problem. Today feels like the hottest day of the week on the uws. It’s not hard to hit 90 in Manhattan with sunshine in July.
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Absolutely! When it doesn’t rain my job becomes ten times harder. I have dozens of planters on campus that require hand watering. And huge terraces that were designed (without my input) an irrigation system. I wish I could posts pics but it always says attachments full. That heat potential next week is awful. I had a feeling sooner or later we would get some real heat. And moving forward that 110 degree day will eventually happen...

    That’s flat out wrong. Colorado State increased their forecast to above normal. As are most others. You may be thinking of the preseason forecasts. The MDR is back to normal temp wise after a cool spell for a couple years. The Gulf and off the SE are positively hot. Very good chance of seeing a high end cat 5 in that area. Not to mention the Enso state being weak nino right now. Only strong ninos really destroy Atlantic tropical activity
