We can use the rain. I’ll gladly take it. Rain now means less brown turf in June/July and when we’re largely hoping for wayward T-storms to get most of our rain.
81 at my closest Wunderground station. Summery like PSV said. Huge difference between shore and 15 miles inland. Long Beach only 60-61, Captree 57, 50s on Fire Island. Spots on the immediate sound are also 10+ degrees cooler than I am.
You definitely see the difference. Near Philly already in the upper 60s, 10 degrees cooler up here where we haven’t gotten the westerly wind. I guess we’ll see where the back door ends up today.
Yep, if there’s a zone around here where sometimes there’s larger hail it’s along Jericho or Hempstead Tpke where the seabreeze front can fire up some storms.
Can’t speak for the record but there’s been hail large enough to damage cars within the last few years or so as a result of the sea breeze front driven storms in the summer, I think they were in the Mineola/Garden City area.
Thunder here right now but I might get split by the storms coming through now. Looks like some small hail maybe in south central Nassau and northern Nassau near Glen Cove.
If Boston measured officially from Fenway Park Central Park would probably be beat by 10” or more. 2/1 screwed them over big time from the onshore flow. The storm wasn’t matured enough at our latitude to screw us over that bad.
I’m fine with upper 60s and occasional 70, keep the heat waiting. Only thing I despise is the easterly wind marine layer crap, so far this spring hasn’t been too bad on that front. Of course watch that start happening.
I was reading that the number of cases in India is likely much higher because of the small proportion of people getting tested. It would almost certainly be the worst official outbreak in the world by far if testing was on pace with the US/Europe. And Brazil is a corrupt disaster as you pointed out with a clueless and corrupt president that openly mocks public safety measures, so what do you expect. The cramped and impoverished conditions that most in the cities there deal with makes it even worse.
Looks like Boston measured 0.1" today so it's a tie for the seasonal total with Central Park.
Impressive event today for sure. Like most April snow events looks like there were clear winners and losers based on banding and elevation.
I remember how fast the snow we had the morning of 4/2/18 melted-6" gone in a few hours. Same with the 4/7/03 snow, gone practically in a blink of an eye. Enjoy and take pictures while you can lol.
