Under a warning for it but the core of it might be headed just north of me. Guess I’ll find out soon.

SVR/FF potential late today-Friday June 29-July 2, 2021

Looks like a decent cell in N Nassau currently headed east. Nice outflow boundary just came through. -
Farmingdale 91 degrees today
-
Seabreeze really got going. Gusting to 26 mph at Farmingdale. I wonder how strong the Ambrose Jet ended up getting. Probably quite windy on the beach.
-
Water temps are above average but not overly so, the worst departures are east of New England last I saw. The southerly winds however will definitely warm up the waters quicker. It’s counterintuitive but onshore flow days that cool the coast down actually warms the water faster than offshore flow days that cause upwelling. In the next couple decades it may be normal to start seeing 80F dewpoints here.
-
Going with that and the 94 temp at my nearest station=106 heat index. I’m wondering why more of us aren’t under heat warnings today.
-
There’s a slight breeze that’s doing nothing to alleviate the heat. Temp 94. As others pointed out these dewpoints might be too high as shown on the sensors but damage done regardless.
-
My nearest station’s now up to 94 and dew point 81. Heat index 116
-
Yep. Days like today make you appreciate it for sure. Being outside here any length of time makes you break out sweating.
-
Yeah, it’s getting to the point where the seabreeze just makes it feel worse. With the amount of southerly flow this year the water will be quite warm in a couple weeks.
-
Wow you’re baking. My nearest stations are 90-92. Might be worth a drive later to Robert Moses where it’s in the mid 70s.
-
Absolutely hideous today. My closest station is at 90 which may be accurate since I live near the top of a hill east of Rt 110.
-
Overshooting hot air masses are the norm these days.
-
Just gross/disgusting today. This can go away pronto.
-
On the immediate shore yes, but the strong southerly flow will help the water warm up faster (offshore hot winds actually cause upwelling and cooler water). If the highs are 92-94 a little bit away from the water as shown on that map, that would lead to over 100 heat indexes with the humidity.
-
Yikes…. Since we’ll have the onshore winds, heat index could get over 105 even in coastal areas where temps are lower but higher humidity.
-
Towards the end of the Euro run the ridge flattens a little which is when temps might really go up. The steep ridge means the hottest temps shoot north of us and we get somewhat milder temps but awful dewpoints.
-
Makes me want to vomit.
-
Today’s a beauty. 75 this afternoon and not a cloud in the sky. Doesn’t get any better in the summer. Enjoy before the disgusting humidity comes back with the ridge.
-
Crazy how frequent these overshooting heat events are getting. Lots of 88/74 type days ( where I am) coming with that ridge. The ridge seems to flatten by the end of the run so maybe the strongest heat shifts south by then.
-
Dew point went way down and we finally have rain. Go figure. It does feel like fall.
-
Temps can get into the 80s in October and the highest daily temp averages are in late July.
-
Typical. We’re in the time of the year where we pull teeth to get any decent precip event on LI.
-
Cases are ticking back up in the UK where this Delta/India variant is taking off. Since they have about the same vaccination rate as we do, it goes to show that we’re not out of the woods for future spikes.
