  1. Shows satellite with two active hurricanes… I guess he doesn’t realize he doesn’t reside at the center of the universe. I’ll take all the waves earl will be sending to the east coast this weekend with a giant smile .
  2. I was straight up angry when I woke up for work at 430 and looked outside to see dry ground. Luckily thats changing currently. The batch moving in from the SW looks tasty. I don’t think I have ever been so Glued to the radar for a rain event. This is do or die for allot Long Island plants and trees .
  3. Amazing, the south shore is like 1” .5” .25” 0 for a total of 1.75” since June first. Hempstead lake is gone. All the trees surrounding it are dead. This isn’t just needed rain… .
  4. Amazing how accurate the models were with the line segments. We will Lucky to wet the ground city east. And the drought will intensify .
  5. Line looks Beautiful over Pa currently. I’m fact the best organized squall line of the season. It is coming a little late, with the dry ground, let’s see what makes it .
  6. Dry ground feedback. Also the urban heat island storm suppression. I wish there were more research on that. .
  7. I was referring more to the south shore of Long Island which has received significantly less rain. I’ll be happy to take some pictures of vast swaths of dead oaks on the wantagh parkway for you this weekend, when it will be even worse then it was. This is every bit as bad as out west (locally). Just wait until we have 30mph nw winds and low dews in September and one of the barrier islands light up. For reference the sunrise highway fires .
  8. Very true. Patterns like to lock in and stay. We are experiencing that in the NYC area with a pretty serious drought that keeps intensifying. .
  9. That would be a dream scenario for east coast surfers. Prolific swell producer with no landfall worries. One thing is for sure, plenty of untouched warm waters to feed off of .
  10. Unfortunately if you see an oak that has turned brown it’s dead. Some other trees like red maples for example will turn yellow and gradually shed leaves. Those may survive. But overall this is extremely serious. I don’t even want to think about what another hot dry two weeks will do .
  11. It’s been burned to a crisp. Just more proof that, that’s the issue, as if we needed any. As bad as the drought is in the city, it’s a whole other level on the south shore. At this rate there will be serious forest damage and the potential for west coast style fires once we get our first strong cold front and NW winds .
  12. It’s really going to get bad… massive tree die off incoming. Not to mention the fire danger .
  13. Part of me is pretty sad that the drought will intensify on the south shore of Nassau, with many trees already dead or dying. On the the other hand I find any extreme weather event interesting. .00” for yesterday in wantagh at my parents and .00” at my place in Lynbook .
  14. The brick wall Effect is a amazing heading towards the city. Although there are many factors, the bone dry ground from there east is an contributor .
  15. .34” on the uws. Just enough to help slow catastrophe. I did notice allot of trees browning and yellowing on the southern state yesterday. Some do it as a defense mechanism and will be fine (assuming we break the drought soon) others are straight up dying. .
  16. It’s absolutely mind boggling. I would have bet the farm this year would be hyperactive. This could be the climate change issue that keeps storm numbers low in the Atlantic .
  17. Complete joke, I can promise you it was at least in the low 90s on the uws. My truck thermometer which is pretty damn accurate was 94/95 this afternoon. Still 92 heading home from work now. Drying out again, had to stay late to water
  18. That would be a life saver. I was forced to do a huge landscape installation on campus in an are without irrigation this week. Despite working at an institution with some of the smartest people in the world. We should see offshore water temps going for records this month based on the predicted pattern. That will have a feed back to support more convection
  19. It was only a matter of time. Hopefully the drought areas see something beforehand d
  20. Yes you are getting more insulation into the water. But wind speeds also play a role through upwelling. While a blockbuster year is seeming more unlikely, once the SAL starts to fade, there will be plenty of warm water to take advantage of.
  21. .13” at the wantagh meso. The south shore loves to drought in the summer. Even mature trees are starting to drop leaves. If we do not get anything soon trees will start to die. Which happened in 1998? The year with the sunrise fires. A beautiful grove of 100’+ tulip trees died in a preserve near wantagh high school. They could be seen for miles around as they were the tallest trees on the south shore by far.
  22. Actually the heaviest rain missed the areas that have had most of the rain and hit areas that haven’t. So overall a needed event.
  23. Drastically cut numbers because of quite July! What kind of numbers are you talking here? I could see 2/1/1 or something like that. Far from drastic
  24. That’s actually allowing for more insulation absorption. It will be fun to look back at these season cancel posts in 2 months
