The steam makes a return for Wednesday. Mid 70’s dewpoints coupled with PWATS around 2.00”. Plenty of high octane juice for heavy convection.

We could use one of those 2”+ type days. Newly planted Trees are starting to brown on the wantagh parkway. It’s pretty par for the course for the south shore, we seem to get a local drought at some point most summers. That’s why historically the immediate south shore had a strip of pitch pine scrub forest which can handle dry better then deciduous trees like tulips found on the north shore

We’ll probably have to rely on these convective events for our rainfall chances a while longer. Some hints from the EPS weeklies that the tropics will become active in September.

ECMWF weekly guidance FINALLY suggests a relaxation of the sinking branch over the Atlantic after September 10th. This could coincide with an increase in tropical cyclone activity across the basin.

with 9/10 being the tropical peak, (and action getting going after that date) looks like a possible down year as JB and some other have opined.   Looks pretty dead out in the MDR.

Yeah the MDR is doa. What I’m looking for this year is for a wave to make it close to home before developing and take advantage of the bathtub between Hatteras and Bermuda. Something like a Bob.

US Hurricane landfalls have been more backloaded since 2014. More October landfalls than JJA combined since 2014.The Joaquin 1000 year floods trough interaction in 2015 isn’t included since there was no landfall. But plenty of flood damage.

Torrential downpour in midtown from that little cell that just fired.

Doesnt look like its moving at all either. Its dry looking down toward City Hall but I see rain just few blocks north and midtown is completely obscured in heavy rain now

This is one of those days when the ocean temperature is warmer that the air temperature at the beach. SST’s continue in the upper 70’s without any August major heat. More fuel for high dewpoints  and heavy rains around the region.

Either the EURO WEEKLIES have a problem, or we do-----because the predicted anomaly over the next 6 weeks+ is at a record +5F, it would appear.      This is from yesterday's output.     The CFSv2 looks like the antipodes to the EURO, however.
