    Anybody have any lightning bug (firefly) sightings yet?  Figure after next week they should start appearing since it’ll be warmer and dryer. Just curious if anyone has seen any yet regardless. 

    I noticed alot this past weekend walking thru parkchester in the bx.

    I actually would have thought the dew point and humidity would have started to rise by now but it has stayed pretty low this afternoon making for a nice day.

    Current temp 84/DP 53/RH 32%

    Was thinking the same thing. Strong SW wind all day and dews still in the 40s. 81, DP 44 here.. It's probably an unpopular opinion but I find it a little too dry to me. Esp for allergy and asthma purposes.  Doesnt have to be 70s but I'd like to reach a point where dews stay basically 50+ for the season.

    The 00z Albany balloon was within a degree of minimum climo 850mb temp, and radiating conditions are close to ideal. 44/42 at the moment. If sunrise were an hour or two later, I'd have some serious frost concerns. As it stands, not difficult to envision getting down to 37-38 and putting the brakes on plant vigor for the next week.

    Shout out to the UHI for taking care of that problem..20190604_073116.thumb.jpg.1e22b2b596ad407ffc91e5100e02d7ab.jpg

    HRRR is similar. Both models have the storms missing us to the south today. Will be interesting to see if those models are right, because SPC has the whole area in a slight risk.

    I was about to ask around what time should I expect rain/storms to reach NYC? Should I be asking "if" instead?  I'm going to be outside all day am hoping it stays dry as late as possible..like post 5pm.

    This is one of the few times we have seen something resembling  an urban cooling departure island in NYC. Areas all around NYC will finish warmer than normal in May. The cool departures were limited to NYC, LGA, and JFK. It could be a first.

    EWR...+0.7

    NYC...-0.4

    LGA....-0.6

    JFK....-0.3

    HPN...+0.8

    ISP.....+1.0

    New Brunswick...+1.7

    That's interesting. All the clouds, rain has temps, esp lows temps, more uniform.  NYC has higher norms though. Cloudy nights are a bigger + for the suburbs. EWR probably spent a little extra time just outside of marine influences too for an added boost.

    These backdoor fronts once they lock in are hard to dislodge.   Upton has 66 here today-we have not budged out of the mid 50's.  Same ol story every time-the front gets further S and W than modeled and it's stuck in the 50's for days...

    One would think these back door fronts would become much less stubborn by this point.

    I live by the when in doubt, side with the backdoor cold front motto. (For NYC and points N&E ) Usually by mid May or so I have much less faith in the bdcf's staying power.

    Meanwhile, I saw some lightening strikes from high rise in lower Manhattan. Pretty dramatic from that perspective. I left soon after, took the train, got back above ground 30 mins later and it was partial sunshine. No idea if it actually rained, but didn't really look like it. Doesn't sound like I missed much.

    It really is night and day down there compared to NYC/BOS. They always, at least recently, seem to have super warm and above average temps on any given day after April 1st, even in late March sometimes. Not to mention the constant screw jobs they get in the winter while the NE gets buried.

    Too much warmth year round for me.

    Glad we don't live there.

    Yeah I lived there for a little while and one of the biggest difference to me was how consistant spring warmth settles in much faster and with staying power. Mid 70s in the middle of this week is considered a significant cool down here now. It helps being 100 miles from the still cold Atlantic.
