Loud thunder a couple hours ago, looks like about an inch of rain total per radar estimate. Wet pattern continues.
-
First gross humidity day of I’m sure many this summer.
-
Just some light rain here with occasional thunder. Nassau is the place to be for this batch.
-
Round 2 incoming for N Nassau and Suffolk. Also looks like a very slow moving cell around Hempstead/Uniondale.
-
Nice soaking so far, probably about 0.5” or so here. Looks like Round 2 overnight coming through the Catskills now.
-
The front must have rushed down the Sound and got held up over LI. It just passed here and I’m a 40 min drive east of Queens without traffic.
-
You can actually see how the forks and Peconic Bay are interacting with the front. Looks like Riverhead will cross both the sea breeze and back door front at once. Looks like the front still won't be to the city for a few more hours. It's slowed down some. The sea breeze will be through most of LI before the backdoor. Sea breeze is just about up to Jericho Turnpike. NW then S then E winds today.
-
Back door front pushing west into the Hamptons, and a sea breeze front pushing into the south shore. Cool radar animations today showing the fronts. It’ll be interesting to see if the pollen storm picks back up.
-
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.
