It wasn't enough for most vegetation around here. Honestly looks like October out there with all the stressed trees. Bad foliage season coming up like we had in 2020 when the salt spray from Isaias destroyed the trees around here

LA will get more rain in one day than we did all summer

HRRR and NAM have some rain into the evening hours and tonight so hopefully we can add to the totals. It's almost no surprise that we have been getting the lower amount in all the events. You have to expect it at this point. I was never buying the bullish models for today. The potential for a dry slot was there

Seriously, after being skunked all summer, I'm way more excited for this than I should be. So glad it's raining

Yikes

Just north of you, can verify we've had almost next to nothing in terms of rain this entire summer. We are in the driest spot on LI. Turned out to be a nice day. Lots of high clouds but enough sun for it to be a nice day though it was never forecasted to be completely overcast. 84 and humid

If it wasn't for the 1st of August being below 80 degrees, ISP would currently have it's longest run of consecutive 80+ degree days at 63 days. August 2022 was the warmest August on record at ISP as well.

0.0" again 0.30" for August 0.78" since July 1st

It's a bit high here too since FRG has only had 1.00" since July 1st. It'll blend the precip totals over a space since it doesn't have the resolution to pinpoint exactly where it has and hasn't rained. Though it is good to show where some areas have done better, and worse.

Rough estimate of precipitation totals over the past 60 days. Shows the south shore of Long Island being the driest in the entire region, on par with a portion of the Cape.

What site is that with the time-series summaries? The one @bluewave posts. I would love to find out the driest 60-day/90-day period for each of climate sites around here.

Looks like ISP will get hit with a storm, bringing their monthly total up. Storm just missed to my north. Bone dry here

That cell weakened a lot by the time it got here. Just a sprinkle here with the sun trying to come out already. It just doesn't want to rain

That cell over Long Beach looks decent. If only it would just hold together by the time it gets here.

This is the driest July 1st - August 25th period on record at ISP. 1966 had 2.91" by this day. FRG has only had 1.00" since July 1st.

Can only hope the HRRR is on to something for tomorrow. Would certainly help bring some temporary relief

Oh ok, they must have not updated that site because it hit 91 on this day last year at FRG. But then again, FRG's period of record only starts in 1999

What site? ISP's record for today is 91 set in 1995

The drought to me is pretty interesting. Almost a Mediterranean style summer. Only had 3 events since the beginning of July over 0.10" of precip. A nearby station recorded only 0.78" since July 1st. Consistent stable marine air on the south shore pretty much kills any chance, but it's usually not this bad. Globals are continuing the dry spell here. Must be a lot of sinking air on the western flank of the WAR.

0.00" here, not too far from you Maybe we can get some showers tonight or tomorrow. Not getting my hopes up though.

Bust

Models look pretty good for rain chances tomorrow. An area wide 0.5-1.0" is possible, however, convective precip can favor some areas more than other areas. Most models have at least 0.25" for the entire region. It's entirely possible some areas see a good amount of rain while some areas stay with lower amounts. Some areas could see a couple inches. Either way, the chances of rain are very high for tomorrow.

0.0" here, so far, might get a little rain in a bit. Easthampton picked up 0.74" of rain today and dropped to 59 degrees during the heaviest rain.
