Sickman Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Is long range forecasting soon to be banned in this sub forum?Not at all. That's why we have monthly forecasting threads.But having specific threads for a day 9-10 threat, complete with model PBP and talk of tiny shifts north/south, is not sound wx forecasting, and just leads to arguments and thread derailments. And to be honest, it's kind of embarrassing. We're at a timeframe now where a dedicated thread for this week's storm is fine. I was just belaboring the point that we needed 1200+ posts to get to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow is dead to me and i want nice weather now With spring comes seabreezes and backdoor fronts, though. Hopefully that isn't too wicked this year with the cold waters.

With seabreezes comes the end to severe storms for this area as well! Except for the north shore of LI when was the last time us on the south shore of LI actually saw a true severe thunderstorm?? Cant even remember the last time ive heard that loud glass shaking thunder either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Ouch for Thursday though, only mid to upper 20s for highs along with gusty winds and teens at night, this all coming after 60F for Tuesday. There will be milder days mixed in but things do favor below normal and there's no sign of any mild stretch at all heading deeper into March.

Juliancolton Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Months of cutoff lows, 2% tornado risks that culminate in a muffled clap of distant thunder, waterlogged lawns, green inground pools, squash plants with powdery mildew blight... *shudder*. 265 days till December 1.

Cant even remember the last time ive heard that loud glass shaking thunder either It's been a while, for sure. 3 summers ago was a pretty good one in terms of seeing good thunderstorms make it to at least my part of Nassau County, but for sure the interesting weather will be over inland areas from here on, unless we see a nasty nor'easter in the spring which is still possible.

All it takes is a few days of 80s to get those water temps right back up. They are still WAY above avg to our east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
