    Riverside Park is a mess. Been a long time since we took such a direct hit.

    Absolute pounding on UWS. Wind ripping. Rain sideways. Haven't seen anything like this in a long time. Sounds/looks like a tropical storm.

    And looking south from West Harlem

    Yeah it's filling in. Huge clap of thunder just now. Here we go in Manhattan...

    Are the storms moving on the line from Elizabeth/Staten Island towards the city drying up or just moving really really slowly?

    Just reached KNYC and it’s clocking a bit over 97 at the moment. In fairness, the station gets a bit of sun as you can see. It’s not shrouded in the trees. General assessment from my walk: 99-100 in the blocks on the UWS and 97 ish in the park. the 100.4 was Madison Ave
  9. hooralph
    Just recorded 100.3 in shade along Madison Ave at 75.

    Southwest wind blows heat from the city right across to the airport.

    Just recorded 96 at Bethesda Terrace in CPK but there’s a breeze blowing at me from the lake.

    99.3 by AMNH (sidewalk, shade)
  13. hooralph
    Got a 98.9 at Amsterdam and 86
  14. hooralph
    97 along Amsterdam

    I am here to bring you ground truth. Currently walking from Riverside across to east side. first measurement 97.3 in shade on West End
  16. hooralph
    It’s so much more tolerable this morning with the breeze vs yesterday.

    lol. No, I've never been that ambitious to trudge over there for a measurement. I just consider my Riverside Park measurements to be a good enough proxy. And honestly, the temp at my location might be one of the better proxies for CPK you'll find. Per this map from a few years ago we are lucky enough to live in one of the "coolest" spots in Manhattan - this little tongue that extends to the river in the low 100s.

    I might.

    So ah, anyone know what the NYT uses for their model? Props to them for calling attention to the coming heat but… they have the heat index maxing out at 94/95 for NYC.

    Push alerts came in as it was pulling out.

    Going to call out - in case we are tracking these things now: the severe thunderstorm warning area seems off (looking at RadarScope) - we had no warning here. this seemed to not match radar: * This severe thunderstorm will be near... Mott Haven and Midtown Manhattan around 1040 PM EDT. Laguardia Airport and Jackson Heights around 1045 PM EDT. East Tremont around 1050 PM EDT. Co-op City around 1100 PM EDT. City Island around 1105 PM EDT.

    Hail! and frequent lightning on UWS.

    Wife and walked across Manhattan (from the Hudson to 1st Ave). On our way back we were in Central Park and I noted how it suddenly felt warmer - muggy - because the wind had stopped. Then the east wind started cranking. Amazing. A back door front reminiscent of Boston in April. The CPK obs show it - wind was calm at the 16:51 reading and it was still 79.

    Incredible, dense, shipwrecking fog on the Hudson.

    As soon as I hear "kicker" I'm out.
