I am in SW Suffolk and Wantagh is the nearest station to my west. They are currently up to 4.52”. This is the heaviest rainfall event in such a short time there since September 2015. 

Yea I just realized what you were saying and deleted my post. I am now up to 3 inches. Wantagh is just to my south and had even heavier rain than I did. I rained 1 inch per hour for the past 2 hours. Now it is easing up some.

2.15 inches here and pouring.

1.70 inches of rain here and still raining, over an inch in the past hour.

South Shore coastal sections missed out on the heaviest of the March snows in 2019. So they had two consecutive well below normal snowfall seasons. But they also did much better than the NYC area from 2013 to 2018.

Looking at the previous 6 years before the last 2, we were overdue for what we had the last 2 years.

Anyone noticed an increase in mosquitos? Since late Aug its been an explosion of them here. Not only in parks and yards etc, but I'm getting bit the hell up in the middle of busy streets. The city suppose to be spraying large areas in the bx today, esp south and eastern portions. 

Maybe the mild night time temperatures this summer made the mosquito problem worse.

The bar is set pretty low. This was the first time that NYC had two consecutive met winters (DJF) under 5”.

What is also interesting about the last 2 seasons is last season ended up with the 4.8 inches meaning no snow in November or March. 2018-19 ended up with over 20 inches with big totals in November and March.

Very summer like afternoon  here, 84 degrees.

Definitely feel the season gradually changing. Actually a cool feel to the air at 73 degrees. The consistent days of high 80s have been replaced with high 70s to about 80. Night time lows closer to 60 than 70 and my pool temp. has dropped some 10 degrees.

62 here this morning, 3 pleasant early mornings in a row.

59 degrees for  a low here this morning.

61 degrees this morning, felt good.

alot of my area has burned foliage from the tropical storm salt spray.    You have to go  a mile or so inland to see normal green foliage

Yea, and I am some 8 miles from the ocean and we have plenty of burned foliage.

We are getting a good steady drenching here at West Point. 

We had it yesterday morning with .44 of an inch. This morning light rain and drizzle.

The next 8 days are averaging 79degs., or 7.5 degs. AN.     Or just 2.5degs. AN, if you do not trust the GFS.

Small tropical system near 36N 69W?

Rainout  next week back after L.D. on the GFS.

72*(93%RH) here at 6am, mean dark clouds, streets wet, drizzle.

 

If the GFS is saying 7.5 degrees above normal for the next 8 days, I don't believe it.

They classified the naked swirl off the North Carolina coast as Omar which has already been downgraded to a depression.  On the 15th named storm of the year, and more than half of them were barely tropical storms.  

Signs of the times

Do you think the worst of the heat is over? I kind of doubt we stay all fall feeling but perhaps we can be more normal.

I think the worst of the heat is over but still there will be 80s. Sunday night some of our colder places could see 40s.

If any if any of your descendants happen by this post, as they return from wintering on the Florida archipelago, they may remember the profound words of Shakespeare “ Many a true word is said in jest”. As always .....

Even though most New Yorkers would love to see that day, I am confident we will have forms of energy that give off no pollution what so ever, long before the 100 years is up. Even if I am wrong, we won't destroy the earth, we might destroy ourselves, but not the earth. Anyway, all the possibilities with the potential  Laura interaction turned out to be not much.  So far here, .11 inch of rain today.

think of it this way: this is likely to be the coolest september of the next 100 years

I can see it now, southerners will move north to be in the pleasant Northeast climate.

Looks like the first week of September will have temps up and down to average about normal. Looks like the second week may  bring in a more consistent cool down making the first have of the month a little below normal. Wouldn't that be a change if it plays out.

Time to watch the tropics

That would be interesting if it materialized. To bad it's 12 days out, so basically it means nothing.
