Yeah we’re very fortunate in that regard. Puts a lot into perspective when we experience a lengthier than normal dry spell, versus out west

What makes it even worse out west is they simply don't get much rain even on a normal year, in many places. So a drought is a drought in an already dry location.

For Islip:

High was 53.  That's -16 for the date.

Low was 50 (so far).  I'm at 49.  I'm expecting upper 40s.  Anyway, the 50 is -2 for the date. 

-8 departure so far.  

Yes the nighttime lows are not nearly below normal like todays high. Looking forward to Thursday sun and 70s.

What’s getting loss in all this rain talk is how below normal we were today 

Yes some 15-20 degrees below normal.

.18 here today, 49.6 degrees

Just down to Tobay Beach on south shore of Long Island, large waves just eating the sand away.

Wind gusting to 32mph here. Storm warnings up for the southern half of the Jersey shore.

Looks like September ended up at 69.5 for Central Park. 

.57 inch of rain here so far. 53 degrees, breezy NNE wind gusting to 22

Daytona, still quite a distance from the center of Ian, reporting 41mph sustained and 53 mph gust.

This webcam is still live on Sanibel.  I am surprised that the visibility is so good and few trees down.  They have to be in the eyewall.  https://www.mysanibel.com/live-street-cams?utm_campaign=SanCapChamber&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=SanCapChamber

The webcam called periwinkle and casa ybel W. shows the surge coming in on Sanibel When I checked this webcam a few minutes ago the water was just reaching this area. Now look at it.

Someone on the main thread mentioned key west webcams, anyone have a link to those?

Just go to google and type in key west webcams. You get Duval st. which I believe is downtown and another cam that shows a harbor area.

Key West webcams seem to be showing worst weather of the storm now hitting the area.

Looking at Key West webcams, it is windy with rain but the worst weather really seems to be just west of them. There are still people out and about in the downtown area.

Recon just did fix the center to be moving east of north although very slightly.

Yea you can see it on radar.

The track has been shifting more east in recent runs, going from landfall near the Big  Bend to just north of Tampa.

When summer turned into fall last week, the weather was right on time with the change. 

1.16 inch of rain last night

Picked up .80 inch of rain so far.

Heavy rain and hail here.

Thunder here but so far a LIE and north heavy rain, what else is new. Hopefully the rain to the west will hit the rest of the island.

Looks like Long Island may get some decent rain after all. Certainly missed the first batch

Ian really getting its act together now.

The surf was lower than had been forecast at Robert Moses, too. The waves had been forecast to be around 10’ but were generally 4’-5’.

I was at Jones Beach for the high tide last night about 6:30. The waves were big but they were rolling type waves and it would be 3 or 4 large waves and then much more calm for a bit then larger swells again. Also some over wash. Today sounds somewhat calmer.
