    We just had a great storm on the uws. Some of the heaviest rain rates and flash flooding since ida. Definitely a helper for the recent dry conditions. Meanwhile at home on the south shore, the typical Sumer flash drought continues
  2. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Much stronger onshore flow tomorrow, so agree at least

    It’s the same story every summer. It’s just how our geography effects the weather. they may drift south and fizzle as the day progresses giving the south shore 7 drops

    Got blitzed on the uws. Some of the heaviest rates I have ever seen, pure white out looking up town

    Another decade or two and you will have your wish

    I had a black tip (3-5’) on the line from a kayak right off Jones beach Sunday. I got it close enough to see the approximate size and species before he snapped the line. He took me for a nice ride before hand

    Zero rain yesterday on the south shore. So the drought continues and intensifies. meanhile here on the uws the drought has ended at least temporarily.

    Warm fronts are great for the coast. Hopefully this breaks the drought
  9. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Not a drop on the south shore. You know the deal having grown up in Long Beach. We call these secret days at Jones beach. It’s been sunny all day

    Had a much more mundane version of the Suffolk storm at my dads in wantagh. Brief wind gusts around 30mph and very small hail. meanwhile at my apartment in Lynbrook not a drop. Pretty cool watching the storms for on the Seabreeze front. Very Florida like.

    Dry, makes dry. Looking up at the sky in Manhattan currently it’s almost like the atmosphere screams storms but the reality is there isn’t enough surface moisture. I expect more fails until we can change the flow and get those high dews we now expect this time of year back

    Just like canceling winter in December. Look how that worked out in 14/15 in the north east.

    He’s actually correct for the Jersey shore assuming the flow was a little more SW. But you are correct for the island, strong south flow (Ambrose jet) events pile up the warm surface water. Nothing better then a late day body surf sesh in 6 foot wind chop with bathtub warm water!

    I have a feeling this one hits a wall as it closes in on the city. Dry local soil conditions and a strong onshore flow tomorrow.

    The reoccurrence of majors in the north east of about 1/100 years is a big part of why truly big, old trees are so rare. The old growth groves that survived logging are generally in sheltered steep gorges. 100mph gusts and hardwoods just don’t mix. The fire island hollys are definitely still there, behind huge dune systems that can make it through a major. a great old growth tree that does well in high winds is the black gum. You might not be a familiar with them in Maine

    I believe it was stated 1/3 of white pines in New Hampshire.

    Jersey shore has done very well rain wise lately. And going back further, seems to be a new severe weather hot spot

    They really haven’t buried any. It’s up to several million a mile. We had massive week+ long outages after Sandy with gusts in the 80s. Gusts over 100 will completely destroy the grid. Take Isaias for example. Use the same track and increase the intensity to cat 4 instead of 1 before land impact in the Carolina’s. That would produce a large swath of cat 3 wind gusts on the east side.

    That would take us to full on drought territory until we start looking to the tropics later in the summer. With the pattern extremes we have seen recently it was only a matter of time before we see a real summer drought.
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    The core of a true major coming up through long island and into New England is nothing short of a national emergency. And there are multiple historical precedents. 120+mph gusts will obliterate the power grid. Puerto rlco post Maria type, months long power outages for millions of people.

    At this point it’s looking like the the majority of the metro gets through this with .00”. So yes thats a bust. During the time of year with the highest insulation, if we do not start seeing rain soon then we will be headed into a drought.
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s been storm after storm running just offshore of the south shore heading east. And they even intensify over the ocean. Pretty much the opposite of what you usually see. Meanwhile we can buy rain from western Long Island west
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Sprinkles, but some nice strikes out over the ocean at Jones beach
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    It’s still early. As we speak there is a training storm on the north shore of Suffolk that’s definitely producing flooding
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    The south shore can get very hot on the right wind direction, but you know this having grown up there. I swear the hottest I have ever felt is at the beach with a strong Nw flow. The sand radiating has I cause near surface temps to exceed 110
