Down in Long Beach today-grass/trees look horrendous. 

So happy for our deformation drizzle drops this morning. The pavement was wet for about 10 seconds too.

There are some hints at a gradual pattern change to more rainfall opportunities in the coming weeks. The drought ridge sitting in the Plains all summer is forecast to shift. So we get into more of a WAR pattern heading into September. So looking like our classic early September endless summer pattern with plenty of 80s and 90s and convection chances. 

 

 

Hopefully but these days I believe it when I see it. These patterns seem to reinforce and lock in place more and more these days.

We are probably headed for a drought monitor upgrade with the 90s making a return tomorrow into Friday for the usual warm spots.

Dry ground also makes it more likely the 90s happen.

This looks much more accurate then what we saw 5 days ago! 

What a joke. The rich get richer while the people who need it get skunked. Par for the course in these perma-patterns we seem to get stuck in these days.

56.6 last night. Summers back is broken 

Ehh, not sure about that. The near 100 temps are done but I think we have a few more 90s left.

18z gfs drier than 12z, esp. for LI.  Also drier for interior NE and upstate NY.  

Color me stunned.

Yeah, very dry conditions for August today. Northern NJ could see dewpoints falling into the 30s this afternoon. 
 

 

 

I’ll take this if we won’t be seeing any rain or excitement otherwise. Beats the filth we dealt with for two weeks.

Odd seeing bos hit 100 before nyc,JFK and lga 

NYC was likely 100 on Tuesday. Several other stations in the city hit 100, and even though they’re amateur stations, several in Nassau hit 100 too.

When will a major station in the area hit 100 other then ewr? 

When the landscapers finally clear the bushes around the Central Park site.

Huge difference in humidity levels across the area

From Mesowest:

NYC: 88/50 27%RH

EWR: 90/54 30% RH

LGA: 90/50 26% RH

ISP: 82/70 66% RH

When the seabreeze came in (again easily visible on radar), humidity spiked.

All the models now miss the area early next week 

Glad to know I jinxed it.

If the Euro/GFS are right, any drought will be long gone by the end of the month. If this cutoff and onshore flow are real, it’s a recipe for gushers for days.

The nam cut back a touch on LI. 

 

Think I’ll go with the under.

The 18z NAM ends the LI drought tonight/tomorrow

Because it worked out so well yesterday with the soaker widespread storms and 2-3", I'm totally jumping on board with this.

Very muggy feel today 

Sea breeze front and more humidity finally made it up here.

Winter storm watches for the metro? 

More like row boat watch. 

Pronounced sea breeze boundary today, looks like it stalled around the LIE in Suffolk and Hempstead Tpke in Nassau. 

Long Beach the hot spot today-up to 85 already. If anyone gets to 90 it might be there. It can heat up in S Nassau on these N wind days. Bit if a downslope component from the north shore.

Steam bath outside 

Was funny watching the steam rising from the street as the rain was ending this evening. I've had enough FL summer weather. 

Just now, psv88 said:

Just a moderate rain shower...not sure the NAMs 2 inches is going to verify...

About 0.6” here by radar estimate, looks about over where I am. I gladly take.

Falling apart already

Moderate rain just started here. Guess we’ll see what happens.

It looks like a deluge over NW Nassau around the Great Neck Glen Cove area.

1.5” and a flood advisory in the Great Neck/Manhasset area. Hopefully some part of that survives east into Suffolk.

Maybe with no sea breeze we can get some storms on Long Island.

The seabreeze actually helps to fire storms on LI-it's a boundary that can force warm/moist air to rise as the cool air comes in from the ocean. Unfortunately it screws over the south shore since the boundary usually travels a few miles inland before firing storms, and it's been as dead as anything else for the last couple of weeks. 

94/77/109. 

The Syosset station is back up to 99. It’s probably a little high but Oyster Bay is 97.
