phlwx Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 I didn't think the seabreeze would make it as far as it did, so I busted way high on ACY. I'm used to those late-summer heat waves, not June where the ocean is still in the 50s. It helps to have the Airport 10 miles inland. They usually can torch pretty well until 1-2 PM in the right setup and then the seabreeze kicks in to an extent after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but it almost makes me wish that ACY airport wasn't the Atlantic City reporting site. Same goes for alot of places, like Philly and PHL airport. I know for Philly, I always use the Philly pier high temperature given in the daily reports on the NWS site, its always a little higher than PHL airport.

Thanks Ray. A suggestion for determining a winner in the future are those who predicted early and stuck with their initial forecast.. Points should be determined by how early they gave their forecast. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a climate site in downtown ACY, its listed on the Mt. Holly RTP products: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/PHI/RTPPHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice having that list to look at in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They took obs sometimes but I'm not sure if they were ever transmitted long-line. They defnitely weren't ever a climate site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
