    I don't think it will last long with higher dew points rolling in over the next few days. Getting in to the dog days of summer, hazy, hot, humid.

    ConEd made $1,820 million in profit in 2024. That is $1.82 billion. And they want to raise prices, and transmission costs. Which means even if you choose a 3rd party provider for gas and electric, you still will pay more due to the higher transmission fees. They should get zilch, zip, nada for gas and electric increases. In fact their prices should be rolled back a good 5%.

    Was the area that was affected by the tragic flash flood deaths an area know for such events at that magnitude?
  4. Wannabehippie
    That sounds so gross.

    Wouldn't rooftop stations give us inaccurate readings due to elevation?

    Different types of root systems on sycamores than oaks would be my guess on why the sycamores survived. Oaks I know have a lateral root system that are not deep. You cut one of those main lateral roots, and you have weakened that entire side. Add in soaking rains, softening the soil, the winds, and you get trees falling like they did in the picture.

    What the heck happened to the entire first floor of that second picture.

    I bet the roots of that tree were cut on the sidewalk side, because it was lifting the sidewalk up, then the sidewalk repaired. I am saying this because we do not see the sidewalk lifted up by the tree falling. When I was a kid we had the problem where the town cut the roots on the curb side. Hurricane Belle blew thru, and the tree fell away from the street as a result of the weakened root structure.

    Bunch of rumbles of thunder, and now the skies have absolutely opened up.

    We have had some nice rumbles of thunder by me in NJ.

    Skies are starting to darken by me. Mets have postponed their game for tonight, so I guess they are expecting enough rain to come thru Flushing Queens this evening. I would not mind a good thunderstorm.

    Looks like Barry will be on shore around 1am Monday.

    Thank you!

    Is there any link to this news? I want to be able to share it around. Thanks.

    I would love to get a weekend pattern where both Saturday, and Sunday are warm, sunny.

    100 in Riverdale NJ today.

    Did any models predict these mesoscale storms?
  18. Wannabehippie
    Will we get an old fashioned heat wave with 90+ temps that lasts at least 5 days?
  19. Wannabehippie
    How much of a sea breeze will there be in places like Long Branch NJ on Monday?
  20. Wannabehippie
    Thankfully they are conscious, and alert. Taken to hospital as a precaution.

    Skies grew dark here in Riverdale, NJ, but the storm missed us. Not even a few drops of rain, or a flash of lightning, rumble of thunder.
  22. Wannabehippie
    Where does LGA have its weather station now? Those tarmacs can definitely skew any temperatures upwards.
  23. Wannabehippie
    I wonder if we will get an old fashioned heat wave, 5+ days of 90+ temps, coming up this weekend in to next week.
  24. Wannabehippie
    The heat index predicted for Sun - Tues are very dangerous. Take care of yourselves those days everyone.
  25. Wannabehippie
    Not directly related to what is discussed here, but still important, given the weather predictions coming up. If not appropriate to post here, I apologize in advance.
