53.2 here this morning

Parts of the Catskills already dipping into the upper 40s.

Those numbers could definitely cause some flash flooding

.70 here

I would think tree growth would raise minimum temps. I find at my house when the temperature reading is in the open I get good radiational cooling but under tree growth readings are higher.

Looks like many along the Ct. coast have received some 3 to 6 inches of rain

Yea it looks like the worst of it is now to your east.

Ct. coast looks to be the bullseye so far, not to much here, .27 of an inch.

As bad as a hurricane hitting the southeast can be, without them the southeast does not get enough precipitation.

Possibly the most unusual path of a hurricane to hit New England was Esther in 1961. It hit Nantucket and headed east over the Atlantic only to make a large loop and come back to cross over the Cape and into Maine.

Things can run in streaks. Florida had no hurricanes for a record 10 years in a row from 2006-2015. Plenty since then. Long Island has not had a direct hit in over 40 years but the 1950s into early 60s were very active. I believe New England has had only one direct hit in the same time period, hurricane Bob in the early 90s. This could also be the second year in a row without a hurricane hitting the United States, many are hoping that to be the case.

I was in Melbourne, Florida when Hurricane David passed over head. Only hurricane I was in the eye.

A very telling chart. The thing is, most people would probably be happy to see it.

Don't move to the desert.
