It’s the highest Davis weather station on Long Island at 390 feet on the roof of the health sciences center.

i wonder (for prior typo) why this wasnt published separately... in other 390' MSL is different than ~35' MSL (ASOS). I feel the same way about the High Point Monument NJ wind speeds... it's an idea above crown height but not very good ground truth.

Yep it would definitely be good to note.

I remember some past reports with the elevation reported. It’s always interesting to see how much wind is at that level.

It would be great if they put a Davis weather station on the top of 432 Park at 1397 feet which is having all the structural issues from excess swaying.  

This way they could really see how much more wind is verifying at that level than the surface reports.

Definitely gusted past 50 here. My basketball hoop almost blew off the curb into the road. That hasn’t happened before at the new house.

for what its worth the low tide early this morning was -1.77 feet MLLW at Sandy Hook, nudging the threshold for low water advisory there. Not sure what impact this had?
