    It's west though from 0z. The WAR has something to say about this too. Probably a good soaking for especially the city and east upcoming.

    The severe T-storm activity and associated convection went south of where most models seemed to have it. Kudos to the SPC for citing the area SW of NYC for the best shot at severe. Wasn’t too much of a surprise it took the decent rain with it.
  3. jm1220
    Yep. Maybe some light rain that’s it so far.

    Just missed my area to the west. Radar has possibly 4” in the Roslyn area by the LIE.

    Big difference as usual between our area and the south shore. Many days so far where we’re roasting near or over 90 but Captree’s in the mid 70s.

    Hail incoming to JFK Airport from the looks of it.
  7. jm1220
    It was borderline here I’d say. That’s about how big hailstones were here.
  8. jm1220
    Hail!! About a quarter inch or so sized hail here. Edit-more like half inch. Haven’t seen this since living in TX. Very short lived but loud/intense.
  9. jm1220
    Yep. Smells like a campfire here with thick haze. Crazy to think of how far away it came from.

    Tropical systems typically have heavier rain than the radar would indicate. I think it’s due to the smaller raindrops in those typically although @wdrag or someone else can give a better explanation?

    Light rain now and a moderate thundershower as it came in. Some places nearby got luckier but generally a west of NYC event as the vast majority in the summer are.

    I would keep the flash flood watch to the western half of the city and west, although I guess to be safe they included Nassau County. Models seem to be killing anything east of the city right away in the seabreeze. Hopefully we can get a reprieve from the humidity ASAP, that's what I'm hoping for. I'll be surprised if anything more than a moderate shower makes it out past here.

    Up to 91 here. Today just seems to be one of the most hideous days yet.
  14. jm1220
    In the South as shown it’s actually been a cool summer so far. In TX temps are usually breaking 100 by now but for the most part it’s been damp and temps in the low 90s. The heat’s all been north and west.
  15. jm1220
    With the wet pattern we had, as expected dewpoints are creeping up faster than temps. Hideous outside, currently 89/75. Yuck.

    Yeah, wish there was a way to ship all this water to where it's needed. Like I thought my backyard was a muddy pit when I got back this afternoon from Long Beach. Psv88 said it best when he mentioned swarms of mosquitoes in a few weeks. Apparently there was hail in Long Beach from a storm yesterday. That would've been insane since it almost never happens on the south shore. I can think of maybe one time I ever saw hail there and it was pea size.

    Thanks! Seems like these heat patterns have been getting broken down in the modeling too soon. Highs may not get that excessive because of the wet ground but humidity could make up for it. Definitely looks like the same nasty humidity/heat pattern we've been having. The south shore might not be a bad place to be since Elsa likely chopped up the waters enough to cool them down and make the onshore flow a little better for a while. On the days we're on the periphery of the ridge would be the best for firing up storms? One thing almost for sure, if this pattern keeps up Elsa won't be the last tropical system coming through here this summer.
  18. jm1220
    Very difficult to keep any long term dry pattern going here. We always snap right back to wet after any dry stretch. Lots of ways for tropical systems, Gulf moisture, Atlantic moisture, instability etc to fire things up. Many summers do have a south shore dry season where storms fire up all the time inland but die out before reaching the coast. Not this year obviously.
  19. jm1220
    Near Jericho Turnpike and Rt 110. Maybe I spoke too soon but who knows. We're waterlogged here either way with well over 4" the last 2 days.
  20. jm1220
    Just heard a rumble of thunder but looks like the storms will go just north of me probably right over the Sound shoreline.
  21. jm1220
    Wow, 4.53" in Greenlawn (a few miles NE of me) just today from Elsa? There was also 1-2" at least from the storms yesterday. Lawns there will definitely be green for some time
  22. jm1220
    N Nassau where over 5” fell might get these. Looks like some training echos too.
  23. jm1220
    Yep. Manhattan incoming after over 4” last 2 days.
  24. jm1220
    Might want to get it updated again tomorrow. Insane that another cluster of storms is headed toward NYC and parts of the city are getting hit again. Months like Aug 2011 are on another level altogether (so far, month is young) but this is getting crazy.
  25. jm1220
    Rt 110 in Melville on Channel 7 now for flooding. Looks like flooded businesses and stuck cars. NW Suffolk and N Nassau got nailed.
