WE GOT HIM Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think it's the wind that didn't die down that didn't let us cool as much. Look at somervile, down to 31 with a calm wind and still calm with a cuurent temp of 34. Westhampton which beats or matches somerville all the time is at 45 with a decent wind but overnight when the winds went calm they dipped to 31. So while the city was never going to get as low as the suburbs, places like east Queens and Nassau would have cooled off more if the winds had died down early. Yea I agree the wind did us in also. Last night the best example for the heat island was in DC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It looks like the highest risk will be southwest of the City. A southeast to south wind is not ideal, but a few weakening storms could make it towards the coast. The models have been jumping around with placement which is to be expected from a day or so out.

TWCCraig Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Noticeably higher dews and RH values here on LI compared to elsewhere due to onshore flow. This is why even though the sea breeze might cool the temps a little bit in the summer, it makes it more humid, sometimes making the heat index higher.

SnoSki14 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 How long until we can finally get sustained warmth? Looks pretty warm after today, mostly 70s with a few days hitting 80F or higher. The 18z gfs looked fairly warm as well and quite stormy too. As far as 90F+ type heat, we still have some ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE GOT HIM Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 35.5 this morning in Muttontown. I don't think that station in Muttontown is accurate.. - The NYIT station a little more than a mile west was 9 degrees warmer for the low. (its also been about 6 degrees cooler on average over the last few days vs near by stations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(its also been about 6 degrees cooler on average over the last few days vs near by stations) Probably a local cold spot, but seems reasonable. Westhampton was 30, and quite a few other spots in nearby Suffolk were down into the mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(its also been about 6 degrees cooler on average over the last few days vs near by stations) Drive along Northern Blvd on a good radiational cooling night and the temp from CW Post (East of NYIT) to my parent's house in Muttontown off Brookville Road will be 5-8 degrees cooler and vice versa going West, I've seen it on my car thermometers since 2005 when they moved there. Trust me, it's accurate & the location is a cold spot that is ideal for great radiational cooling. Never beats KFOK though & I wouldn't expect it since it is a tad more urban. Both my old VP1 & now my VP2 have been that way in the same spot on the property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCCraig Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 There are spots on LI where you can have a 6/7/8 degree temp change in just a few miles. KFOK and Westhamtpon Beach is one of them, can be 30 degrees at KFOK, 40 degrees right at the beach. The Sagtikos Pkwy has a mini heat island, car thermometers tend to rise several degrees when on the Sagtikos. Typical low to mid 90 degree day can be around 100 on the Sagtikos, I guess the pavement type really plays a factor in that. I've also noticed one time when we were on the Sagtikos during a light snow event that the snow was accumulating on the trees in the woods while the trees close to the pkwy had no snow accumulating on them. Moral of story, LI has very diverse microclimate, his reading in Muttontown is likely correct. My low last night was only 40.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Tomorrow could over perform as far as warmth goes in areas that don't get clouds or storms. I think it will over the Mid Atlantic especially. h850 temperatures are approaching 20 C in some areas. 16 C up to Central NJ. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ETAPA_0z/f21.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Honestly if we have another system similar to Sandy in terms of strength at our latitude, are we any better off then we were prior to last year? The only difference is that more people would probably pay attention to the warnings, but you would still have some idiots that wouldn't I'm sure.
