I always LOL when the cold front passes and the coast finally heats up from the warm NYC air coming through.

Ended up being correct. As we know the marine influence negatively effects all but strong warm fronts. I should have factored that in. Our convection season is coming, when water temps get above the mid 70s 

More likely than not we end up with the usual South Shore drought season, delayed not denied. The upper level support also looked to be a bit too far SW for us this morning.

And right on schedule the radar is lit up! Bring on some heavy rain! 

Most of it looks to end up SW of the city. The stuff over upstate NY looks to be weakening as it approaches while the storms over NJ are maintaining.

These big ridge expansions over the Plains and Great Lakes are closer to 2010-2013 than 2018-2021. Today is the warmest day in Chicago since July 2012. So maybe the Euro will be correct about that big push of heat into our area next week when the ridge amplifies again. 
 

 

If it’s going to happen that we push upper 90s or over 100 that’s how it happens-the drier heat builds up to the west and surges in. We need the westerly downsloping wind to really get the record challenging numbers.

The Newark area seems to be the hottest place in the summer for the NY metro area, maybe parts of the city can be as hot. As for Newark, no surprise with all the concrete, industrial facilities and missing out on the sea breeze.

On some days they can have a breeze from Newark Bay but generally yes. The hottest place in the entire metro might be central Queens near Maspeth/Corona. I believe Bluewave posted a map some time ago. LGA can get the NE breeze from the sound and JFK obviously has the seabreeze almost every day. Central Park would also be a regular hot spot if there wasn’t the issue with the thermometer. 

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.

LGA OBS

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.

Possibly interaction with the SBF is holding it’s progress over the island?

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.

looks lke relieve won't make it to the city until this evenlng.

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.

Wtf man..that looks like a horror movie lol

another reason to not like back door cold fronts

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. 

Just now, ILoveWinter said:

Is it supposed to slow down? At this rate it could make it to the City a bit earlier than expected which I think was around 8PM.

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.

Timing on the BDF for LI? It’s flat out stifling right now. Temp 88

Bangor, ME reporting 52 with light rain. Jealous 

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.

Unusual amount of amplitude to our blocking and MJO waves heading into early June. So we get a few days in the 90s followed by back door cold fronts with high pressure building into New England. Record SE Canada block for May has been pumping the high pressure over New England.

 

 

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.

Memorial Day may make a run on 90° in the usual warm spots.

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.
