Weathergun Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Yeah as I posted a few pages back I'm really liking that Wednesday severe threat. Deep low to our north, strong moisture advection, impressive thermodynamic and kinematic environment, land based sfc winds should prevent marine layer from being any issue. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a mdt risk with it. I think there will be a moderate risk. Especially over parts of Upstate NY and New England, where the models are placing the best LLJ.

famartin Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Wouldn't duration be a factor? No, not really. Torch implies a rapid or extreme warmup... i.e, like an actual torch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I hit 84.2 but a brief hvy downpour popped up right over my house on the sea breeze front. Another shower developing again just south of me. Down to 79F and muggy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey City,NJ Only during those exceptionally hot days do we see steam coming off streets after rain. The record breaking heat of 2011 continues. Right now a scorching 77 here.

NorEaster27 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Got hit with 2 severe storms today with hail up north in the southern adirondacks. Its nice to be away from the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0waddict Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 How old are you? I have seen that every summer for a decade Ya, to be honest I see it all the time during the summer.

winterwx21 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Cool storm right now. Lightning/thunder and torrential rain. Definitely a nice storm. I saw some pea sized hail here, and the winds gusted to about 30-35 mph. The raindrops were huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was just playing around lol. But I've had my AC on over the last week because I have a low tolerance to heat, especially indoors where there's no strong, consistent breeze. That's another reason I don't like summers here; we don't get good dependable breezes. The air gets stagnant and nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Yeah even if its not that hot during the day anything higher than 66 or 67 at night, especially if its muggy and no breeze, and the AC will be on.

I said consistent winds throughout the summer, not a day or two here and there. I'm talking about trade winds of the southern Caribbean, or the daily afternoon sea breezes of the Mediterranean.

famartin Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Random heavy shower popped up in Ewing between 530 and 6PM... 0.42" at the TTN ASOS, but my parents only had 0.17" less than 2 miles from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now a scorching 77 here. lol it's going to have to go a long way to beat 2010. I like how, with heat, we can anticipate record breaking summers every 11 years-- unlike with winters, which have no regular pattern whatsoever. We can get some hot summers in between too, but at the peak of 11 year cycle, you're basically guaranteed to have a scorcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another reason I don't like summers here; we don't get good dependable breezes. The air gets stagnant and nasty. A/C is in. I have low tolerance for heat too, but my room is tiny and has four windows, so its the coolest room in the house by far (which works to my advantage in winter also), so I held out this year, especially since I'm barely home anyway. Tonight is rather muggy. Was cold by the water, but stuffy away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 High of 81.1F after a low of 65.6F, more like late June than late May, warm though not yet a heat wave. Humidity has been the main story as the dewpoint reached a grotesque 73F today...currently 75/70, have the AC on as it looks to be a muggy night with little relief from the warmth. NWS has a high of 91F for Dobbs Ferry tomorrow, with hints in the forecast discussion that it may be even hotter if convective debris fails to materialize. Garden going absolutely nuts with several tomatoes already on my plants, each of which has 15-20 flowers right now. If this continues, I should have cherry tomatoes and a few larger tomatoes by late June, and squash/eggplant/peppers by early July. Unreal run of weather this past week, and don't see much in the way of clouds for the next 7-10 days, despite the coming cooldown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a banner growing season dude, I'm seeing explosive growth too. I hope we have some dry searing heat for July and August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
