bluewave Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks. Weird how at one point or another both the gfs and the euro showed that low still near us through saturday...glad its looking to clear out. Ill take cool and dry. Showers may linger into Friday afternoon on the Euro, but it gets the low east of New England by Saturday. The Euro is hinting at temps dipping below 50 Saturday morning which would be the coolest late may readings since 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Weird. Well, I don't know what OBS source is legitimate, so I'll just say N/A (Not Available). Wunderground will at least show real stations. Now, whether their obs are legit or not is another question. Always best to check against the airport sites, they are most likely to be accurate (except Lakehurst :doh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Weird. Well, I don't know what OBS source is legitimate, so I'll just say N/A (Not Available). TWC uses a system known as HiRAD. HiRAD is embarrassing. The obs put out by HiRAD are almost always wrong. There are times when HiRAD is too warm in particular area. One example was during the March 2012 heat wave, HiRAD had one area in Michigan hitting 95F, which was obviously wrong. Sometimes HiRAD is too cold, that happens a lot here on LI as it overestimates the sea breeze. Stick to ASOS or your backyard thermometer (if it's in a good spot).

uncle W Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 87 here.

Thanks for giving the details on what I already could tell was a bogus system just by observing it (something TWC apparently knows nothing about, observing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCCraig Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 GFS and Euro pretty consistent with a weak block in the midwest late next week which could potentially gives us our first true heat wave. One thing I laugh at is the GFS dew points, I mean dew points in the mid 80's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE GOT HIM Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This is when living on LI really is a good thing, for once. Yea I guess that's why before air conditioning people liked it out here - I know up to 10,000 people used to sleep outside by the Brooklyn reservoir on very hot nights (would have been really cool to experience that) "I do remember sleeping in Highland Park on hot summer nights, I don't know about that particular Heat wave, maybe that started the custom, but it was fairly common when I was a kid to walk up the the upper park on Hot Humid nights and sleep in the park, we always had a couple of blankets to put down on the grass, AND we brought our Dog along with us, usually about three or four in the morning when or if it started to get more comfortable my folks would wake my brother and I and we would walk back home, ( my dad had to get his work done in the bank, he was the building Super. Everything had to be cleaned and polished before the "Bankers" came to work at 8:00) Those were the days when not only was there no air conditioning, only the wealthy could afford fans. You could walk the streets at four in the morning and see people sleeping on stoops and porches, fire escapes or on old matresses in the street. It was so common a sight that we never gave it second thought. There was never any muggings in those days, too many people around to see what was going on! Besides, what would they get? About the most valuable thing a man owned in those days were old beat up pocket knives!" -Mary Cornell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
