87. Toasty but nice with the low humidity.
-
That why when everyone was miserable I said we need to bank it when we can. That’s the story these days-deluge then long dry spells.
-
Yeah, that’s nuts. Also yeah-that will last more than one day.
-
Defining feature of our last two crap Nina “winters” into springs. Essentially Fall lasts 7 months.
-
Who wants snow on May 1st? Whatever snow they get will also be gone in a day.
-
Pretty loud rumbles of thunder and heavy rain.
-
Think I just heard another rumble of thunder. Looks like this band coming through will do it for east of the city.
-
Thunder a minute ago and heavy rain now.
-
That’ll happen when winter never happened. Flowers here were blooming in February.
-
Not ideal for sure but if it helps avoid the burnt to a crisp lawns in a couple of months so be it I guess. Also gets rid of the pollen. Trying to think of silver linings lol.
-
Heavier shower just now but looks like sheet drizzle fest from here. Places around here seem to be around 1.5”. We were due for the pendulum to yank back with our climo after the hot early April, and rather add up the rain and moisture now before what’s usually a dry summer on Long Island.
-
Hopefully we can get some major hurricane recurves this summer and cool it down.
-
Best to bank what we can now before the inevitable coastal summer drought.
-
The onshore maritime gunk fest points and laughs.
-
We do need the rain here. As usual we got blanked near and east of the city from the event over the weekend that favored NJ.
-
It’s actually “easier” to heat up at this time of the year before the trees fully leaf out. Less shade and less humidity from transpiration. Add in the westerly flow here vs so many SW or S flow driven heat events in the summer and not too surprising this heat overperformed. Models also underplay temps so often this time of year because they don’t factor the lack of transpiration (unless recent upgrades took this into consideration more).
-
Wow-Williamsport, PA too. Although it wouldn’t be too surprising with so many other places reaching 90. It’s another spot that roasts on these westerly flow downslope days especially early in the season before full leaf out.
-
Weather station in Woodbury hit 90. Hempstead 89. Sea breeze is pushing inland (Amityville down to 75) so maybe we have 1-2 more degrees to rise before that makes it to the north shore. Most stations around here are 86-88.
-
86 now. I wouldn’t be too upset if that sea breeze made it here today. Torching.
-
Only around 60 on the barrier islands. Low to mid 60s in Long Beach. Let’s see today how fast that sea breeze boundary can progress inland. World of difference from here where it’s 84. Huge split between Long Beach where it’s 62-63 and Oceanside/Baldwin where it’s 82-83. That’s a 10-15 minute drive.
-
80 now. Wonder if we can make another push for 90 or if the southerly flow kiboshes it.
-
The high in Long Beach might’ve made it to 75 today before the S wind really kicked in. Takes a really strong W flow this time of year to keep the seabreeze away. I don’t miss spring down there with the daily Ambrose Jet one second.
-
86 now.
-
Upper 80s already in central Nassau and near Commack. Some of us even east of the city probably get their first 90 today. 84 here.
-
About as amazing as it gets. Heat during the summer now almost always comes on southerly flow events and much more likely to be 95 with 75 dew point vs over 100. We need the west winds like today that downslope. Way too often the ridge and heat overshoot us into NNE and even Canada these days.
