One good storm that creates some upwelling and temperatures on the surface will drop quite a bit.

Very slight west wind here, no sea breeze to be found. Yes the temperature has dropped from a high of 96 to 93 but that is only because of cloud cover.

94 degrees here, sea breeze out to lunch. Light west wind, our hottest wind on long Island.

78 degrees here.

70° minimums have been more impressive than 90° maximums at JFK since the record dew point surge began with the 2015-2016 super El Niño.

It may not affect JFK as much but as NYC keeps growing with bigger and higher skyscrapers, I'm sure the maximum night temperatures will be higher. Heat island affect is so prevalent on nights like tonight.

Down to 85 here, not feeling that bad out thanks to sea breeze.

Got to the very low 90s here about 11-12 O'Clock. Now back to upper 80s. Sea breeze kicks in late morning early afternoon.

Is that the center of Fay over the Pennsylvania, NY border heading east? Last I checked the center was moving north through the city. Or is that a different system that absorbed Fay's energy?

What is left of Fay is up in Canada. That is a different system.

2.71” at MPO. 

Bridgeport reported a 49 mph gust. I suspect that there were probably a few 50 mph gusts on the South Shore of Long Island, but one might not know for sure unless there is an updated PNS or when the NHC issues it’s end-of-season report.

I listed what the NWS posted, above. I believe it is unofficial. Doesn't look like to many if any 50 plus happened.

All I can find for the N.J. observations (MT. Holly) is peak wind gusts of Trenton 33, Philly 42, Georgetown Delaware 43 and Atlantic City 44mph. also Reading Pa. 30.

Fwiw TWC stated this AM that Greenwich also had 49mph wind gust yesterday.

Yes that is in the National Weather Service report.

Thanks- I think St George might be in Staten Island?  The name sounds familiar- I've seen it before.  The highest winds were on the central and southern NJ coast where there were reports of 57 mph gusts (one in southern Monmouth County and another one in southern NJ near Cape May I think.)  On Long Island I think those two 46 mph gusts were the two highest reports, although I saw DMillz mention that he had a 55 mph gust?  I dont see that mentioned in any report though.

 

I looked it up and St. George is in Staten Island on the water, so that gusts makes sense.

It kept raining most of the night here, Don, it was actually amazing with all the fireflies out   Do you happen to have any figures for MPO?  I've been on vacation about halfway between ABE and MPO, coming back tomorrow!  It rained all night in NE PA and there were flood warnings all over the area. Based on the rainfall maps Walt posted, looks like I got the same 2.00-2.50 here that I got back at home in Nassau County!

Was the maximum official wind gust in our area the 45 mph at JFK?

 

 

The highest was a 52mph at a place called St. George, I will assume it is on the water in Suffolk. Other than that Kennedy and Gilgo Beach had gusts to 46mph. The highest sustained was a few in the upper 30s but most in the 20s to around 30. The national weather service has it listed. The rain in Nassau County was generally 1-2 inches, more west and less east.

Typically you'll find max gusts matching the projected sustained winds of landfalling systems.  There were a couple of reports of 57 mph gusts along the Jersey shore, one in southern Monmouth county and another one in Southern NJ near Cape May.  That's close enough to the 60 mph projected sustained winds.

 

The only problem with that is there is a big difference between maximum gusts and sustained winds. Look I don't want to sound like I didn't think it was a good storm or that I don't trust the NHC.  I just think they are pretty liberal in naming storms these days compared to the past. There is no doubt in my mind that the NHC, when it comes to tracking these storms, has improved dramatically over years ago.

The center of the low will be making its closest pass to me between now and the next hour or two. Still getting some squally weather with decent wind gusts.

Yeah, clearly subtropical but good storm regardless. 

Yeah, I agree.

Not really finding any official wind gusts that approach 60mph which was what the storm was advertised as at its peak. Of course that is over the ocean. All the locations I checked were in the 30s and 40s for peak gusts. Can you imagine how anemic some of these other named storms must have been when they had sustained winds of  40-45.

Checked some local observations on peak wind. Central Park 28, La Guardia 38, Islip 40 and leading the way JFK with 45mph. I had 37mph at my house.

Center looks to be inland along the central NJ coast.

Some sun here.

I am about 7 miles west of Farmingdale airport and I received 1.30 inches of rain so far. Peak gust 37mph.

1.06 inch of rain here so far, raining.

Not much rain here but the wind has really picked up. Total rain so far .63 of an inch. Recent wind gust 35mph.

To the east-southeast of the center, out over the ocean, there appears to be a lot of thunderstorm activity. This would look to pivot over long Island and eastern New England if it holds.

Wind starting to pick up, gust to 28mph. So far .44 inch of rain.
