TriPol Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I used to live in Florida. This was the kind of rain we saw in Tampa around this time of year. I've never seen it rain like this in Bayonne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 if you like snow and want to at least double you totals from living in the city move to the Dingmans Ferry area and northward...the biggest snowstorm I've seen was the March 2017 storm up there...and it was two days after the storm...March 2018 saw another big event and wind event on top...Childs Park in Dingmans Ferry is still closed because of the damage done in 2018...Last February had another 2 footer...three two foot storms in five years...

I think elevation matters more than latitude. Near Lake Harmony we average 70 inches of snow and the latitude is the same as The Bronx. The further north you go the closer you get to redneck territory anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hire senior citizens to stand in the roadway and collect the tolls from motorists. Crossed that bridge a couple of times. One of a kind.

Better to prevent mold than have to deal with cleaning it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess that's why as soon as I leave my bedroom I have huge sneezing bouts lol. I have window AC not Central AC and only the bedrooms have it installed.

donsutherland1 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 A front will move slowly through the region and it could stall nearby tonight and tomorrow. The result will be cooler weather with potential showers and thundershowers tonight and tomorrow. Drier air could arrive for Sunday. Looking farther ahead, September will likely feature near normal to somewhat warmer than normal temperatures overall. Meanwhile Tropical Storm Ida has now developed. Ida will pose a threat to the U.S. Gulf Coast late Sunday into Monday. Some of the guidance has it making landfall as a Category 3 or Category 4 hurricane. Through 7 pm CDT, New Orleans has received 65.74" of rain. That is the 2nd highest figure on record for this time of year. As a result, the already saturated ground could exacerbate the risk of flooding from Ida. Fall 2021 will likely be wetter to much wetter than normal in the northern Middle Atlantic region. Since 1869, there have been 9 August cases where New York City picked up 20.00" or more rainfall during the summer. Two thirds of those cases (and 4/5 of those with summer mean temperatures of 73.0° or above) had 17.00" or more fall precipitation in New York City. 2011 is probably the closest match in terms of precipitation and a nearly identical summer mean temperature. Mean fall precipitation for those 9 cases was 14.86". The median was 17.35". The 1991-2020 normal value is 12.27". The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.9°C for the week centered around August 18. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.41°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.43°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail into mid-September. Afterward, La Niña could begin to develop. The SOI was +5.95 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.572 today. On August 25 the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 0.760 (RMM). The August 24-adjusted amplitude was 0.478 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 98% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 77.6° (1.6° above normal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Morning thoughts… At 7:15 am, rain was continuing to fall in parts of Suffolk County. Flash flooding was reported at Nesconset (1 SE), Saint James (1 S), and Saint James (1 SSE). Islip had also picked up 1.20” of rain in a one-hour period. Today will be mostly cloudy, breezy, and noticeably cooler. Showers and periods of rain are likely. Some areas of heavy rain are possible in parts of the region this morning. High temperatures will likely reach the middle and upper 70s. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 75° Newark: 78° Philadelphia: 79° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 81.7°; 15-Year: 81.5° Newark: 30-Year: 83.1°; 15-Year: 83.1° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 84.3°; 15-Year: 83.9° Late tomorrow, Hurricane Ida will likely make landfall along the Louisiana coast as a strong Category 4 hurricane. Some of its rains could affect the Middle Atlantic region during the middle of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
