  1. 55 and sunny here on the south shore. Clouds built up along the sea breeze boundary to the north, akin to a summer day where the north shore would be getting storms right now
  2. Gusts as high as 46mph at ISP and 50mph at JFK so far
  3. Decent moderate snow now, heaviest rates of the morning so far. Probably about an inch or two on the ground so far. Side streets covered
  4. High of 82. Awesome weather. Might sneak in another warm day Monday. Some models are as warm as the mid 70's like the RGEM, and other models like the GFS are in the mid 50's. Crazy differences for a 48 hour forecast
  5. NYC had its warmest coolest temperature to date for the season on record until this morning. Similar situation at ISP though we should drop below these temperatures tonight NYC: Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

  6. The HRRR is one of the few models I know that takes into account the smoke in the column and the effect it has on surface warming. HRRR has us barely going above 70 today and tomorrow solely based on the smoke. Most forecasts have mid 70's for us on LI, I think we fall well short of that unfortunately. Struggling to make it out of the low 60's so far
  7. Those of us out on Long Island will be stuck in the smoke all day today and tomorrow too
  8. Unbelievable. After several days of miserable skies and weather, as soon as the clouds clear, the smoke is back! I can't believe it's October and there's fires still raging in Quebec, arguably they never really got extinguished. Was hoping for a nice day with blue skies but that will have to wait You can't make this stuff up!
  9. The Southern Pine Beatle has been wreaking havoc on Pitch Pines, which is the dominate native pine tree found on Long Island and in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, for a couple years now. The drought last summer really amplified the destruction and the warm winter last year didn't kill off any bugs, so this summer was set for another round of outbreaks. Activists have criticized the NYDEC for not doing enough and there maybe some validity to that. While efforts to combat the bug have stepped up over the past year, some feel that the state has been neglecting these conservation areas far too long. Precautionary measures include prescribed fires and early removal of trees that are under stress, potentially from the bug. Some of these outbreaks have gotten so bad that it's too late in some spots. It's just another unfortunate thing, the pine barrens out east remind me of the south, places like the Carolinas that have tons of pine trees. Would hate to see that go away
  10. 87/72 now, max of 91 earlier. Officially a heatwave here!
  11. 88/73, max of 91 Today's certainly hotter than yesterday. Combined with dewpoints in the 70's it genuinely felt hot today
  12. 91/74 on the home station, looks like the sea breeze is trying to move north
