Weird that they would reference the HRRR when the model runs every hour and talking about what was close to the end of its run when this discussion was posted.
The latest HRRR run is the fastest yet with the BDCF and has LGA in the low 50s by 7PM.
In 2007 I went to Islip to buy a car from one of those big dealerships and when I left there it was in the mid 40s but when I got home to Queens it was in the mid 70s.
Granted it's a bigger distance and a smaller temp gradient but it felt like a completely different time of year from when I left the dealership to when I got home.
40 degree spread between Robert Moses State Park and southern Nassau County on the GEMLAM at 6PM, mid 80s to mid 40s.
We're talking about a distance of 6 or 7 miles
The NAM has a NE wind coming in with the backdoor cold front over Long Island Sound and so at 8PM it has temps in the mid 40s in northern Queens while it's still in the low 60s in southern Queens.
I'm not looking forward to Saturday at all.
Me second floor already gets toasty on a sunny day this time of year, provided that it's not 50s or cooler of course.
Low to mid 80s is July temps, no thanks.
There is almost a 50 degree spread between the Mid Hudson Valley by the Mass border to southern New Hamphshire on Saturday on the ICON.
From near 80 degrees to 30 degrees.
I didn't say we have to have 30s and 40s and cloudy, I just want +10 departure, not +30 lol
Normal high is only 53, and that's with the fake new normals.
I just want 60 degres.
