Roosevelt Field hot spot once again. Temps in that area-Garden City to Uniondale in the upper 90s. East Williston 100.
-
93/76/106.
-
We’re paying now for all the onshore flow days over the last couple months. Helped the waters warm up to around 80, and now the seabreeze just makes things worse unless it’s an Ambrose Jet.
-
If we keep this more westerly wind component today, it will easily be 95+ away from the beaches.
-
92 already. Today’s gonna be a scorcher.
-
Blechhh. But it’ll feel just as disgusting if it’s 95/70 vs the 90/75 it’s been around here.
-
Might actually be a hotter day here near the coast than the last few because of a more westerly component to the wind. Hopefully this isn’t yet another dry frontal passage. Be thrilled if you see anything more than a brief shower that wets the ground.
-
For sure. 90/75 which I have now is 101 heat index. 98/65 is also 101 heat index. It’s atrocious outside. Last evening wasn’t terrible with the breeze once the sun set.
-
Maybe in the meantime we can all aim our A/C’s and fans upward so this disgusting humidity can condense and form T-storms? It’s always a matter of time here before the drenching comes but the sooner the better lol.
-
There must be a downslope component as well when winds are SW. There’s a hilly/elevated area to the SW of the city where Blue Hill is.
-
I had 4-6 drops here. All it did was make the humidity worse.
-
Happy sweat soaked birthday.
-
89 here. Disgusting/atrocious.
-
Starting to? 92 here.
-
South shore drought lives on, storms had no chance once they reached the sea breeze. That plus losing the daytime heating killed it. We need a more organized synoptic system to get the rain where it’s needed. Not a drop east of the Verrazano.
-
Up to 91.
-
I wonder if this is related to the multi decadal PDO/PNA cycle which has likely gone to the negative state? Unfortunately we’re due for a lousy late 90s like stretch of winters. And likely amplified by the warming climate. We actually lucked out last winter especially on LI with the good January. But as long as this Nina sticks around, there’s a greater likelihood that we see inland tracks and lousier outcomes here.
-
Yep. No mosquitoes would be the one silver lining of it being dry like the south shore.
-
And the disgusting humidity is back.
-
The tendency has been for the best ridging to be over the plains, so wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see that continue. Maybe the ring of fire can bring us some widespread rain in that case.
-
Yup, essentially from one end of Rt 135 to the other, drought to deluge.
-
Amazing how within a 30 minute drive you can go from plenty of rain and moisture for the summer to charred flash drought here on the island.
-
The worst I can remember locally is the 10” of rain the weekend before Irene in Long Beach Aug 2011. It almost all fell in one morning and turned every street into a river. The worst ever for me personally was 16” of rain in one day in Austin in Oct 2015 which was from the remnants of E PAC Hurricane Patricia. That by far was the heaviest rain I’ve ever seen.
-
That’s probably where the storms lost support from the sea breeze front so they collapse.
-
Hopefully, since the front is still well to our west but it probably depends on how much heating/instability can be generated under all the cloudiness.
