Latest drought monitor update has severe drought for I-95 and SE. Would be really nice if this Mon possible rain event happens. And this strong/super Nino needs to produce with the storms over the next 6-8 months.

About a half inch or so in the Five Towns and a couple tenths in Long Beach. Degraded to crap as they almost always do there.

Looks like southern Nassau about to get slammed.

95 here. Roasting.

Low clouds here but it already has the “feel” of a hot one today.

Yep. As much as it sucked it's good we got the rains over Memorial Day Weekend. Here on out we rely on daytime T-storms or whatever organized T-storms, or tropical system which will be rare during this oncoming very strong Nino. Lawns will be crispy in a few weeks.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Much of NW Suffolk closing in on 3".

In Austin this MDW. Probably no big severe with mountains of hail like last year when I was here but under a flood watch. I was out hiking earlier and it was mid 70s, sun came out and shot right up to upper 80s and sweltering. Any flooding type rains look to be localized. Enjoy the gunk.

Soon. Patience grasshopper.

18z in general seemed pretty wet to me, looks like 2”+ for most especially I-80 and S on the RGEM, NAM. In any event looks like a nasty 48hr period upcoming.

We had plenty of heat last summer on westerly winds so it was able to come directly to the shore, and in those cases it can be even hotter here than further west since we have downsloping. But as we all know that’s typically rare so we’ll see what this summer does. On Wed it was in the mid 90s right to the coast since we didn’t have cloud debris and stayed on westerly winds.

This heat got the water temp off Jones Beach up a whole 3 degrees! Up to 56 today. Still plenty of nastiness available with onshore flow like this weekend.

Hideous.

Looks like around Floral Park/New Hyde Park has close to 3”. Here probably 1.3”, nice soaking before a good bit more in a few days. Lousy weekend unfortunately but needed to build up the water table before summer.
