jm1220 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Indeed. Id rather have low to mid 90s with low humidity and a good breeze than temps in the mid to upper 80's with dews in the high 70's and no wind. A dew of 80 must be hell on Earth. What a disgusting airmass that must be. Evapotranspiration from all the agriculture in the Midwest contributes greatly to some of the high end dewpoints there. Here is a good study showing this effect: http://www.winrockwater.org/docs/Allen_Impact%20of%20Irrigated%20Agriculture.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ict1523 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm guessing he had a Greek style iced Frappe. That's all you and him ever have, lol, they are good though when I want something sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a good study showing this effect: http://www.winrockwa...Agriculture.pdf Actually that study is about IRRIGATED agriculture in a desert or semi-desert area (Idaho seems to be the main area of the study). The Midwest is *VERY* different. I've heard corn is extremely efficient at pumping water back into the air... but otherwise, I don't know how much difference there is between the Midwest and the Northeast with regards to the vegetation's ability to put water back into the air...

NorEaster27 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Great day today, spent most of it in the pool. Felt very hot with little if any clouds in the sky. Down to 77 now on the sea-breeze but the dew is back up to 70. Today felt hoter than yday to me despite only reaching 89 today and 92 yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I knew JFK's winning streak wouldn't last, although you can't even tell the difference between 86 and 89/90. However it better not pull this stunt later this week lol. Yeah they better get to 100+ later this week or the guy you will be hearing about starting fires on the beach will ME!

A-L-E-X Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 20+ mph southerly winds destroy any semblance of heat around here, regardless of time of the year. They make up for it with humidity though ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weathergun Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I think we could see some mid to upper 90s across the area tomorrow, before convection arrives late in the day The 0z Euro has 20C 850mb temps by tomorrow evening: The Euro still has 20C 850mb temps. But the blow-off from convection over Upstate NY might prevent us from seeing mid 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmagan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I just was in Islip and radar did not do justice to these storms. Second heaviest rainfall rates I have ever seen. Surprised there wasn't at least a flood advisory for this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, when was the heaviest you have ever seen? The rates had to be approaching 2.00" an hour. Hard to tell how much accumulated as I was driving home from MacArthur Airport. The heaviest I ever saw was about eight years ago driving home from Sunrise Mall when it began to leak in the mall. Unfortunately a wrong turn was made going onto Sunrise Highway and we went under the LIRR underpass adjacent to the mall and the water was at car door level. I want to see the 00Z METAR from KISP to see their six hour total. Edit: The six-hour precip report is 0.78". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
