Thats really great to see, hopefully they can now also invest some $ into some new satellites becauses thats around the time they will start to go out of commision.

bluewave Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Great looking EML coming east, but the model forecasts are not showing much in the way or storms around our area. Dr. Masters has a great post on the record heat were the EML plume originated. http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/article.html?entrynum=2407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This evening feels positively balmy compared to the chill last night...sitting at 58.5/51 tonight after a low of 41.9F last night. Many places in Westchester had frost Tuesday morning, which was significantly colder down here than this morning, though not the case further north in New England.

xirmful Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Pea sized hail, torrential rain and booming thunder here about 40 minutes ago. Very impressive and unexpected. Now the sun is out. I managed to get some video of the lightning hitting the Hudson - posted the clip on youtube (and WeatherNation TV picked it up): Here is the link to the clip, if you're interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Looking fwd and sniffing out any potential heat there seems to be hints and glimmers into memorial day week (28 - 30). Will need to track but suspect any surge of warmth or heat will be transient for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 High today reached 75. It is now 67. I took this picture around 7:00pm. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 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) The muttontown station is always colder at night, but usually around the same during the day, leading me to believe its accurate. I live about 6 or 7 miles SW of muttontown and it is often 5 degrees colder than me on good radiational cooling nights. For those who care,my station is the Albertson station on weather underground.

tim Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 ...looks pretty cloudy today as was saturday..from now on out its all about beach weather..we got only 15-16 weekends that make up the summer beach season here on the east end..hoping for those 'bermuda high' conditions..which makes the beach the place to be.

bluewave Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Looking like a cooler Memorial Day weekend than recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 May so far near normal temp-wise and only 1 or 2 days at or above 80. The next 5 days should see positive departures as a more humid airmass overspreads the area. with any sunshine (mon - wed) we could see additional 80+ readings. Cooler/drier weather by Memorial day weekend as Bluewave and others have noted. At this time it looks dry though. Beyond there still some hint we may get ridging into the east and some warmer weather to end May/start June but there is enough conflicting signals still to raise caution.

SnoSki14 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 ...looks pretty cloudy today as was saturday..from now on out its all about beach weather..we got only 15-16 weekends that make up the summer beach season here on the east end..hoping for those 'bermuda high' conditions..which makes the beach the place to be. The ocean is still pretty cold and the weather on the immediate coast is still too cool for great beach weather. While many flock to the coast for Memorial Day weekend, true beach weather really starts around 4th of July. Also cool and dry for this years Memorial Day weekend, prob low to mid 60s at the beaches.

uncle W Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 we could see a day or two above 80 this week and that will take the monthly average on the plus side...The last week in May could even things out...May will end up within a half of a degree from normal+-...The first 90 degree day in Central Park can come at any time from this week to mid July...My guess this year's first 90 will come in mid to late June this year...I thought we would have seen one by now... First 90 degrees or above date... eight times since 1949 the first 90 came in April...Five times it came as late as July... 2012...6/20 2011...6/01 2010...4/07 2009...4/26 2008...6/07 2007...5/25 2006...6/18 2005...6/08 2004...6/09 2003...6/24 2002...4/16 2001...5/02 2000...5/07 1999...6/07 1998...6/25 1997...6/21 1996...5/20 1995...6/18 1994...5/23 1993...5/11 1992...5/22 1991...4/08 1990...4/27 1989...6/01 1988...5/31 1987...5/10 1986...5/06 1985...7/14 1984...6/07 1983...6/12 1982...7/08 1981...6/16 1980...5/05 1979...5/09 1978...5/20 1977...4/12 1976...4/17 1975...5/24 1974...5/17 1973...6/09 1972...7/02 1971...6/07 1970...5/09 1969...5/29 1968...6/07 1967...6/10 1966...6/04 1965...5/04 1964...5/23 1963...6/24 1962...4/27 1961...6/02 1960...7/12 1959...5/20 1958...7/01 1957...6/15 1956...6/13 1955...5/05 1954...6/21 1953...5/11 1952...6/09 1951...5/16 1950...6/24 1949...5/05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Nice stats unc. Im going to copy this into the 90 degree thread. While this week will be much more summer like, I dont think many places will reach 90 yet. I do think there is potential between late May and the first week of June of the first widespread 90s but plenty of time to see how things evolve. May has been wet thanks to the rain w weeks ago, so we'll see if over growth keeps the park cooler and behind some of the other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
