Smithtown 93°/74°. Pretty brutal . Worse than yesterday. Didn’t expect this.

Smithtown : 92°/69°

From Ginx in NE Forum:

I’m on north shore of Long Island. I’ll wager above 1” based on how things are working this summer.

Since Heatwave began my spot In Smithtown 7/23: 97 7/22: 94 7/21: 89 (Severe storm) 7/20: 97 7/19: 93

My weatherflow in Smithtown recorded .78” of rain with that cell that came across north shore. My station is near PSV88 so curious if he’s similar

I can second PSV on the monsoon here on north shore - storm now over Port Jefferson dumping nicely .

Is today the block party ? Storm on north shore is moving kinda slow.

I’m in Port Jefferson by Ferry and it’s dark all points south of me and RadarScope shows training storms. Not getting hit here yet.

Don - the SOI has been way above average between moderately strong and extremely above average for seemingly weeks now. I presume this despite MJO/ CCKW crossing the pacific - nonetheless it is reinforcing a La Niña pattern . Can this lend confidence to at least next 4 months ? even if things suddenly changed - isn’t this La Niña pattern baked into future at this point ? i am not sure but presume we are safe with La Nina styled pattern for summer at this point . mot sure where we stand statistically at this point although this is quite anonymous with a third year La Niña .

Port Jefferson as storms approach. Buddy on other side about to take ferry in Bridgeport reported hail

This from Twitter from Dr Alecia Bentley on severe storms in northeast and why certain o patterns over-perform (maybe explaining tonight’s underperformance) https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/wefo/32/5/waf-d-17-0044_1.xml

Yep. Heavy rain , a little breezy in PJ. Was really trying to have hope. Nope. Cleaned truck or pollen though

Nice little hook developing with this tiny cell heading towards Port Jefferson

Pretty cool graphic depiction for wind direction at Islip. Didn’t know they analyze this like that. I believe Bluewave has done stats on wind direction for each season.

Jeez I blew it in April - didn’t foresee below normal even with solid forecast for blocking. much more cautious for May despite predicted breaking down of AO/NAO.

DCA: +0.5 NYC: +0.5 BOS: +0.2 ORD: -0.2 ATL: +1.0 IAH: +1.3 DEN: +0.8 PHX: +1.2 SEA: +0.2 i don’t have a good feel. April turned our colder than I thought . A bit gun shy now. Cool start NE with warmer finish ?

Does this lead to increased tropical activity in the Atlantic? Didn’t we just go through this a few years ago?

Thanks Roger.

Absolute miserable day on LI North Shore. Endless rain on north and I can see just 20 miles south ain’t dealing with this.
