ag3 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Normally I'd love to see this, but I want Striped Bass season to start off early this year. Stripers are in full force in the western LI sound and also Jamaica Bay and Raritan Bay area. 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Trough will bust next week like all the others this year-relax people...we'll have one chilly day with a -2 deparature and then torch Unlikely. Pattern supports typical early April weather. Near normal with shots of transient heat and transient cooldowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof09 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Trough will bust next week like all the others this year-relax people...we'll have one chilly day with a -2 deparature and then torch you could probably take that to the bank from now through the summer. i really dont see any kind of pattern change that would get us into a below normal regime for the foreseeable future. but then again who wants it to cool down when were getting into the warm weather season just about now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the arctic and the Atlantic. Doesn't mean though that it wont be above normal. It most likely will, but for the forseeable future it wont be +10 to +20 mega torch. Not with that kind blocking. But as with every normal April, there can be a lakes cutter or a huge cutoff pumping in south winds and temporarily spike us into the 80's.

SnoSki14 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Trough will bust next week like all the others this year-relax people...we'll have one chilly day with a -2 deparature and then torch Summary of all your posts: TORCH! But seriously things do have to eventually get back to normal, we can't be seeing 10-20+ departures every month or otherwise global warming has decided to go into overdrive and were all screwed. For the record, the NAO will be in its longest negative state since like October, there's a western ridge as well as ridging extending well north into Alaska so we may very well see a period of below normal temperatures for once.

ag3 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I hate the sand and the water. Rather go in a pool. Go to the north shore in eastern LI. Flat water, pebbles on beach and beautiful water. Especially in late June and early July before the Algae bloom takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Record heat doesn't keep me inside, it feels WAY better than standing 40+ minutes at a bus stop on a windy 30-something degree day. It starts feeling like Pluto after the first 20 minutes, I don't go numb in 95+ warmth. Gloomy, windy, cool/cold, & wet weather (like Saturday) does keep me home though, unless I'm going somewhere that's indoors. Why do we need to have a torch on top of what is essentially already a 3 month long torch? And why is it either 95 to 105 and humid or 40 and raining? What's wrong with 80, partly cloudy, very low dews and a nice breeze? Do you feel chilly in that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I hate the beach. Go on vacation and tell me if you still hate the beach. Go to the Caribbean or the Mediterranean and you'll change your tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold&cloudy Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 No need for torch, especially as we head into the summer. I would prefer below average, but I'll be perfectly happy with average. The 50s we've been having lately are very pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about 70-75 and sunny with low humidity? That's my ideal summer day. But the occasional 90+ degree day isn't too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that was Saturday.... 80, partly cloudy, low dews and a nice breeze would be perfect right about now. I didn't know it was illegal to like heat though, I want summer to be summer.

Allsnow Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yea, I'm not used to how long it takes the water to warm up here. Down in VA/NC by mid May it's in the 70s. Don't get me wrong...i love the beach and hot weather....just the place to be.....for work i also enjoy it....as its a challenge....hottest weather i ever work in was last summer...and we got a tropical storm to top it off...

Isotherm Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 torch me forever. 70s and 80s are great for now, 90s in the summer. this windy crappy mid 50s pretty much sucks Today's wind was a little annoying, but upper 50s/sunshine with light winds is my ideal at this time of year. Not sure how you wouldn't like that. With the strong April sun, 58F feels like 70-75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 No way man....alot of times the winds by the shore are calm....and the water is a great idea...unfortunately when its 52 water temp on a 98 degree day.....it can be a shock to the system Yeah the water temps in the 50s right now are extremely unusual. Most years we're in the 40s until May, 50s until early June, then 60-70 for most of the summer. Ironically on our hottest summer days, generally we have a W/NW wind which upwells the coastal waters, often back down into the 50-60 degree range as you said, but it's all the more refreshing.

Isotherm Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Not in the morning. Ive been sweltering many a time on an early beach day under calm winds before a sea breeze develops Yeah usually 10am-12 noon can be pretty brutal even at the shore. Days with light wind, the sea breeze should kick in by 1pm at the beaches. If we've got a moderate 20-25mph land based wind going, the sea breeze takes until mid afternoon. I'd say only a handful of days in the summer (less than 3-5) feature no sea breeze at all on the beach. Need strong NWLY winds to keep it at bay.

I think that SST's will "plateau" and remain within 1-2 degrees of where they are right now for about 4-6 weeks, and I think that because we will not see a torch last as long and be as strong for a while, and that will hold SST's within the range of 1-2 degrees.

LI sound is generally 47-49 right now. Average for today is 44-46. The sound is only a couple degrees above normal. The ocean areas however are running 7-9 degrees above normal but the rate of warming has reduced and is slowly catching up to averages. **And the average ocean temp hits 50 between April 16-April 30. Not June. If we maintain this current weather, the gap in anomalies will catch up daily. 60's are reached mid May. Jul-Sept. has 70-75 degree averages.

And the ocean south of NJ is only running 2-4 degrees above normal. The big anomalies are north of Cape May to Maine. But I expect the gap to quickly close in the next 2-3 weeks.
