2.05" and still raining Another solid event, 19.28" since July 1st
-
The wind is incredibly calm right now considering the sun is still out Another great day. High 80, low 58
-
Incredible rainfall rates right now. My Davis recorded a rainfall rate of over 6"/hr at one point. Not sure about accuracy of that, but the rates are definitely up there. Been raining for about a half hour now and already up to 1.23" and climbing fast. The end is near though! Streets are completely flooded. Storm drain across the street overflowed. I only seen that a couple times in my life EDIT: 1.42" total this morning. 8.24" for August so far. 15.70" since July 1st (54 days)
-
4.48" total so far in Bay Shore, just unreal. Biggest rain event here in years. SW Suffolk got crushed
-
3.00" so far. Just relentless torrential rain since it all started at 7pm so averaging around 1.5"/hr for the past 2 hours now. Had a rainfall rate of over 4"/hr at one point.
-
Thankfully not too thick and mostly elevated, but a noticeable band of smoke is moving through the area today from western wildfires HRRR for 2pm today: (Seems like the thickest already passed)

85/78/99 here I've been growing 3 different types of palm since 2017. Needle palm and Sabal Minor dont grow into trees but they are cold tolerant enough to survive our winters completely unprotected. I had some defoliation with this past winter being as harsh as it was but they survived and are growing back well this summer. I also have a Windmill palm which does grow a trunk. You would need to have some protection from the coldest days in the winter for a Windmill palm, but the vast majority of the time you could leave them unprotected. It's truly amazing being able to look out the window when it's 20 degrees outside, everything is dead and brown but the palm trees stay green like evergreens. Wish more people knew they can grow here

57.9 this morning 3 consecutive nights below 60 degrees in July, last time that happened out here at ISP was 2018
-
Some unofficial lows around the area this morning: Monticello: 48 Somerville: 52 Toms River: 51 Westhampton: 50 East Hampton: 50 Central Park: 66
-
Still a little bit of low level smoke, but skies are much clearer overall. It's great seeing the sun again! HRRR brings some smoke back in later tonight with the sea breeze. Looks pretty clear by Sunday
-
Since GOES-EAST is down, you could use GOES-WEST, though it's not ideal since we're near the edge of the disc image, so images appear blurry but its better than nothing. The colored image distinguishes between cloud types. Smoke is green, blue and red are clouds
-
GOES-19/GOES-EAST is down so currently there's no live satellite imagery for the entire eastern half of the country.
-
Could have been near 100 or greater for most of the island if it wasn't for all the smoke. Low 80's on the north fork. High of 94 down to 92 with the smoke getting thicker. Shadows are gone, not too much smoke near the ground but it's definitely visible.
-
Smoke from wildfires in Ontario and Minnesota near the border will make its way into the area tomorrow. This smoke is mostly elevated so it'll make tomorrow's skies more gray than blue. Wednesday's heat potential is significant for coastal locations. Decent WNW wind could allow temps near 100 right to the beaches
-
Out in Shoreham right now, got absolutely smoked with strong winds and torrential rain
-
It's a joke, hence the "lol". It shouldn't be an issue
-
99.7! Rounds to 100 lol Getting compressional heating from the sea breeze front Edit: Maxed at 99.8 at 2:08, down to 96.8/76.8 as of 2:25
-
I fell just short last year with 98 degrees. Yea the last time we had widespread 100s here was 2011. My PWS at the time wasn't properly sited but reached a high of 104, probably 100-101 if it was in a good spot I think we also hit 100+ in 2010, we had so many days that summer with a hot NW wind Up to 98 right now with the sea breeze still holding off for now
-
97/72 w/ NW wind here on the south shore of LI Making up for all those days with a sea breeze. Probably will fall just short of 100 here before the sea breeze comes through
-
Up to 95/72, hottest temp of the heat wave so far. South shore is roasting right now with a NW wind
-
Meanwhile here on the south shore lol
-
Down to 91/78 but feels like 106 Maxed at 94 here, ISP hit 97 with compressional heating from the sea breeze front. It's now down to 92/78 Traded off higher temps for higher dews near 80
-
Very light sea breeze so far. We'll have to wait until the afternoon for any relief Holding around 93/79
-
91/77 Not much of a sea breeze right now, expecting it later by noon. Already far warmer than yesterday's high of only 84
-
82/73 Max of only 84.4
