Wow, stations in southern Nassau now in the upper 90s. Looks like there’s a seabreeze that punched through the barrier islands, they’re down to upper 80s and winds turned S.
-
Yeah, way too late to do anything about the heat this afternoon. Probably 6-7pm it should be in the city and starting over the next hour or so over eastern Suffolk.
-
94 here. I think it’s our hottest day of the season now.
-
Wow, Long Beach up to 93. These NW flow days are really how you get the immediate coast to bake. There’s a bit of a downslope component as well. The cool spots are actually near the sound where the flow is off the water.
-
Several times I remember growing up and watching the stratus come in as the back door arrived. 70s to 50 in an hour. This should be a dramatic fall off like what happened in coastal New England.
-
First 90 for Long Beach. 91 where I am in S Huntington. Hottest area looks to be in SW Nassau around the JFK area/5 towns.
-
Not likely. Models are pretty insistent that it makes it to NYC by 6pm or so. It’ll probably start through LI by mid afternoon.
-
You can see the progress of the front on Boston radar as a skinny green line progressing SW. Looks like it’s about to go through Providence and it’s making good headway SW. It’ll probably be to NYC by the evening but not in time for us not to get into the 90s today.
-
Thunder here. My mom told me it absolutely poured in Long Beach.
-
Not to beat the dead horse once more but if only we could buy blocking like what's upcoming in Feb. The Euro for 6/4 has it in a picture perfect position. But now it's only good for 3-5 days probably of more easterly flow garbage.
-
Brief 5 second shower here. About what I expected.
-
And as usual it’s probably too cool in much of NYC/N Shore unless there’s a strong onshore flow. We hit low 90s up here last weekend which was above any model I saw and it’s a consistent theme.
-
Land breezes cause upwelling and cooler water. Onshore winds suppress it and warm the water faster.
-
93 here in Huntington, torrid.
-
Models were overdone (other than the GFS maybe) as usual with how fast/cool the sea breeze would make the N Shore. I’ve found that to be the case many times since I moved to Huntington.
-
Seemed like the sea breeze battle line was between the Southern State and Sunrise Highway for a while in Nassau/W Suffolk. Today it might surge north earlier?
-
Seemed like it was between the Southern State and Sunrise Highway that the big drop happened. I didn’t mind leaving my place to come down here, it felt atrocious there. August like.
-
An hour or so ago.
-
In Huntington where I was, probably 91-92. My car in the shade said 90 when I left, said 68 when I got here.
-
I’m in Long Beach now and as you might expect, waaay cooler. Temp around 70. Surprisingly the seabreeze isn’t that strong. Was expecting an Ambrose Jet on a day like today. Maybe that’ll be later.
-
First 90 here.
-
S Nassau getting rocked pretty good. Line is bowing out and looks like some 50mph gusts based on the velocity scans.
-
Eventually with enough onshore wind days building up the water temps, the seabreeze won’t cool it down after another month or so. It’ll keep temps down a little but pump the humidity up. So if anything it might feel hotter near the shore vs inland because of the higher dew points which are becoming much more common the last few summers.
-
These strong southerly flow days will do that quick. There’ll likely be an Ambrose Jet with 30+ mph gusts with that kind of contrast and cool temps on the south shore. Like two different worlds vs. Newark.
-
The south shore would likely get stuck in the 60s to maybe low 70s but I doubt that if NJ has widespread 90s that NYC/the north shore wouldn’t even make it to 80. There would probably be low to mid 80s for highs here before the sea breeze knocks it down.
