I thought that was too rainy for you. I like dry and hot low humidity and blue skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I had a couple of hundredths this morning, ground was dry by 9. There have been a couple of periods of very light drizzle that didn't even wet the ground. It has been just enough moisture to make it really muggy.

LibertyBell Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The rain was light and showery here and it was interspersed with partial sunshine. Back to overcast so more rain may be coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t get that rain out here. We have had many nice weekends this summer. Do you follow the weather or just post and ask questions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you follow the weather or just post and ask questions? Must be a Suffolk County thing, Nassau County has had plenty of rain, my pond has been overflowing and my mold allergies have been awful. I don't follow Suffolk County weather because I haven't been out there since 2019 and no media reports on Suffolk County rainfall totals. I just get the stuff for NYC and the surrounding airports. We've had rain here on 5 weekends (at least one day of the weekend at any rate) since the beginning of July. Dry went away here when June ended.

Isn't the water supposed to hot enough by now that the wind direction doesn't have a significant impact on hot temps? This looks much more like a late spring pattern. Even SW Nassau should reach 90° before any sea breezes arrive. You can see a deep SW flow from the 5 boroughs westward. Most spots on LI from Sunrise highway north should also reach 90°. Both the Euro and GFS have +20c 850s on Wed, Thurs, and Fri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness, so this is another case of the models thinking that the southern part of Long Island is in the ocean (probably wont happen for another 50 years or so lol.) We also see this in snowfall prediction algorithms. SW winds usually get us to 90 before the sea breeze kicks in from July to September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also see this in snowfall prediction algorithms. SW winds usually get us to 90 before the sea breeze kicks in from July to September. Models lack the resolution to show those finer details. That’s why when they show upper 90s to near 100° in interior NJ those highs usually verify for EWR and LGA. The other thing is that the warmth on the first day of deep SW flow usually beats guidance. Then the heat on the next few days start from a higher launching point than forecast. Sometimes, more morning WSW flow verifies on Long Island before the sea breeze arrives. So areas near and north of the LIE can make a run in 95° before temperatures fall back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I have two gardens to take care of lol, so both need to get some love. I'm going to be there for the Perseids meteor shower peak though, I had an amazing experience seeing them last year from there, first time I've ever seen shooting stars change colors as they fell- I think being away from lights made the experience much better. Some even looked like they came really close to hitting the ground- must've been an optical illusion but it was still a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK actually has higher temps than the other airports even Newark for the first half of the day and only levels off or slowly falls after about 1 PM. Imagine if it was a westerly or even northwesterly flow all day, JFK would always have the highest temps in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The nutty GFS in Central Park is 68-99, but for JFK it is only 70-82 during this period. God Bless the sea breeze, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain just got into most of the city and Westchester, but it looks like they will get under a quarter of an inch there. Hey Don I was looking at the position of the low and it's a coastal hugger so very close to the coast. Why is it that rain didn't make it further inland....a low that passes just under western long island, you'd expect a larger rainshield extending at least 100 miles to the west and northwest of the low?
