Have friend in Gaithersburg. Says it is crazy there with confirmed tornado in Gaithersburg

79 here today, now 65.

First day I had to use the AC. No sea breeze.

87 degrees here. Warmest of the year.

80 pleasant degrees here.

59 here this morning. 

85 here today. Felt comfortable and nice breeze.

56.6 degrees here.

Storm total here .49

.18 here

Rain starting here.

Still getting brief heavy showers here.

Ended up with .95 here, actually needed it as things were starting to get too dry.

More heavy rain moving thru here. Day total up to .91

Heavy rain and thunder moved thru, been windy all day. Total rain so far .58

Long Island certainly overdue for a land falling hurricane. Last one was Gloria in 1985.

Was on the Bronx River Pkwy. when the heavy rain went thru. Three areas were flooded causing traffic back ups. I thought I was out of it but hit another big backup because a tree fell across three lanes and only the shoulder was open. Other than that not a bad ride. 

81.4 my high.

A windy day today with numerous gusts in the 30s. With leaves on the trees it makes that wind even more pronounced.

If you think Florida’s insurance crisis is bad now just wait for what happens after a major hurricane hits a major population center.

The problem is so many people live in coastal areas in Florida. Take that increase in population and the increase cost of inflation and it is no wonder insurance costs have increased dramatically in Florida.

Looks like once the westerly wind kicked up this evening, you guys rocketed up.  Parts of eastern NJ are still in the low 80s at this hour, in early May.

Still 77 here with nice breeze, first evening that actually feels like summer.

My temperature has risen to 78.5

75 here, nice afternoon.

Heavy rain lightning and thunder here. One lightning flash was very close.

One above normal month (May projected) after another against the highest set of 30 year "normals" we have.  You would have to be a high roller to bet against an above normal Summer at this point.  Might not be outrageous heat but 2-3 above normal for JJA would not surprise me in the least.  Mainly from slightly above normal highs and very warm overnight lows.   We'll see.

Good bet with the overnight lows. As the city and immediate surrounding area continues to build more and more big skyscrapers, the heat Island at night will probably get even warmer.
