Still Tropical storm warnings up along the Carolina coast, I just don't see why. The radar shows nothing more than scattered showers and I can't find any wind reports of near Tropical storm force. Am I missing something.
Just checked coastal locations and buoys offshore and the highest I found was 23 knots. Has anyone found any buoy locations with 40mph sustained winds?
I don't think Newark temperatures are wrong. I think they just represent the densely populated NYC and immediate surrounding areas like Newark that are full of concrete and chemical plants and tons of traffic etc. Central Park is also not wrong, it represents temperatures in parks even if there in NYC. I think we can add Newark and Central Park and divide by 2. That may represent most of the area.
It just depends how you look at it. You could have the highest temperature of all time but if first was reached 6 different years, you would then be the 7th highest year even though you would have the second highest actual temperature.
Temperatures at LaGuardia, kennedy, Islip, Bridgeport, Caldwell, Central Park all pretty much normal so far this month. They are either less than a degree above or below normal. The only outlier is Newark which is 2 degrees above normal.
I think what happens is before the frontal passage the wind is more off the water, the front moves thru, the wind switches to more northerly and you get the warm flow off the land.
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.
Looks like lots of rain for south Florida but probably not much wind. We shall see. Surprised about putting up tropica storm warnings before there is a tropical storm but I quess they want to cover themselves.
