Real feel is low 90s That's more of an indictment on how humid it's been, that low 90's doesn't feel that bad. Anyway as I'm sure you know, the forecasted indices met the criteria, hence the advisory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, it's a heat advisory, I doubt they spent much time contemplating its validity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Another 89 added to the list, this makes 5. I’ve had 11 90+ days so far. Not sure what’s considered normal here, LI climo is a bit quirky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siting guidelines state that a station should be situated over terrain which represents the general area of the station. Therefore EWR and LGA are proper citings, as they reflect the concrete jungle, while the Park represents Dutchess County, even though it is the official reading for the nearly total concrete Manhattan. To be entirely accurate, the sensor should be placed in the middle of Park Avenue... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Wave Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Where would you put a sensor in NYC that wouldn't be disproportionately affected by the heat from cars/grates/etc? The middle of the Brooklyn Bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle of the Brooklyn Bridge? The old location in Central Park before the 1996 move was fine. It was out in the open near the castle. The current temperature sensor is in the shade blocked by trees and other vegetation. There are rules for ASOS/ COOP/Mesonet sites that the sensors can't be blocked. In rural or park settings the ideal location is in a clearing like the sensors at BNL. The video below describes the proper siting that NY Mesonet uses. Notice the sensors are in a clearing and not underneath trees. The NYC ASOS photos below show how poorly the site is sitted. Tree growth over the sensor has had another 5 years to grow since 2013. http://www.weather2000.com/ASOS/NYC_ASOS.html 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Next 8 days averaging 78degs., or 4degs. AN Month to date is +3.2[79.2]. Should be +3.5[78.7] by the 24th. Not understanding talk about a pattern change becoming apparent by end of the month. CFS has a +200m ridge for us during the month of Sept. on average. Last days of Aug. and LDW look AN. In fact the CFS does not budge till Feb. with this +200m which is INSANE and obviously wrong, but by how much and when/where? The next 5 months can't be +5 to +10 can they??????

Looks to turn more wet than heat 8/19 - 8/23-24 before next surge of heat on around 8/25. So wet and warm-at times hot continues overall with an over performing WAR. Today will be the hottest day of this heat surge with Friday and Saturday likely dealing with storms/clouds but have potential to hit 90+. Sat 850s surge to 20C, but plenty of storms could be firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models are showing us finally getting spectacular weather with very low dewpoints for a few days mid-late next week after the front goes through tuesday night. Probably the nicest weather of the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NycStormChaser Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Tomorrow night looks good for another round of Crazy thunderstorms in NYC around 8 to 11pm. Soundings suggest a tornado is possible.
