IsentropicLift

Recommended Posts

Since today is July 31'st I thought it would be good timing to start up another banter thread. As we move closer to the end of Summer the models have flipped from wanting to build back in the WAR and replace it with a persistent long wave trough. This should bring average to below average temps for our area. Some regions might even end up well below normal.

 

The big question then becomes does the pattern flip again come mid-month? My feeling is that we haven't seen the last of the heat for the summer of 2013 yet.

 

Since our sub forum doesn't have a seperate thread for tropical threats I thought this would be a good place to discuss any thoughts about the tropics. My feeling is that we'll need to keep a close eye as the WAR attempts to make a come back mid month. This would coincide with the historical uptick in tropical activity in the northern Atlantic basin.

A dark cloud of uncertainty about this looms overhead, and if WAR doesn't come back, the there will not be any east coast tropical threats.

Sad that I had to go to Florida to get a decent thunderstorm. The storm I am experiencing right now would be severe warned in NY even tho it prob hasnt met severe criteria but here there's only a special weather statement here. I am just SW of downtown Orlando. Winds have def gusted past 50, very frequent cg's and very heavy tropical rain. I have pics of the shelf cloud and one lightning strike. I also have some sweet video. I do not use social media and have no clue how to post a pic or vid on here.

Was in Florida as well this past week. Didn't get any storms in the Keys except for a few brief downpours. On the way back, I did go through one TS, wasn't a robust storm though.

Just got here to Duck Key. Hawks Kay Resort. Beautiful weather, hit a few passing showers south of Miami though.

 

Weird. I was just staying in Marathon on Vaca Key (one key over from where you are) last week. Stayed in Tranquility Bay Resort. Beautiful down there. Weather was good down there when I was there. Only rained once and it was a night.

Ate at whales tail last night then chilled on beach. Beautiful night and good times. Actually first date w my wife was at caffe laguna...now closed

 

It's sad that Laguna wasn't able to open again after Sandy. Long Beach is one of my favorite restaurant towns on all 

of Long Island. There is a style of cuisine for just about any taste that you have. You can walk a few blocks

and pass great Italian, Japanese, Cuban, Bagel, deli, Thai, cafe, sports bar, pub, crepes, wraps, smoothies, etc.

Watched Jaws on the beach last night (Movie) about 5-700 people were there fun night .

 

I had a great walk along the newly opened stretch of boardwalk from LB Blvd to Lafayette. I really like how all the sounds

of the bicycles are muffled with the boards lined up with the direction of travel down the center. The walking was also

much quieter and smoother without all the broken and loose old boards. My friend had a condo right on the old boardwalk

and the bikes riding across the boardwalk made a racket when the windows were open. I was riding about

10-20 miles a day on the old boardwalk and it was pretty bumpy with the boards bouncing up and down. The

new hardwood with screws instead of nails was really the way to go.

  • 2 weeks later...

where'd the august discussion thread go?

anyway looks like heavier activity over northern nj is heading more east/northeast whereas the overall activity is still sliding more southeast

 

I was wondering the same thing. Anyway, pretty decent storm here in southern Bergen County. I picked up 0.80" in 20-25 minutes and it's still coming down. Also had some nice C2G lightning and wind gusts around 35-40mph.

not sure where to ask but my friends and i are planning on going to EZOO in NYC on Sunday... looking at the forecasts, looks like there may be some rain.. GFS says it's gonna be a wet day while NAM stays mostly dry (Upton is keeping it at 30% iso tstorms for now)... i just want to know if we should be prepared to get drenched all day long (festival lasts from 10am to 12mn) or will it be a hit or miss type of thing...??

 

thank you very much!
