More shocking is that he's not downplaying the rain event.

i wouldn't eat anything from the water around here

 

Its funny you bring it up...a few days ago someone I know said their friends were going fishing in the area and said they were going to give her some of what they caught and she asked me if I wanted any of the fish...I said no...wouldn't eat anything caught around here because I assume the waters are fairly polluted from whatever heavy industry dumps in.  In fairness, I will admit I'm far from an authority on the cleanliness of these waters...but, as Howell Heflin once said, "When in doubt, don't."

If it always "jackpots" everywhere but Long Island...how does Long Island have either equal or greater annual precipitation averages than most spots in the region?

 

(Average annual precip. is around 49 inches out at NWS Upton...far from the wettest spot on the Island.)

What kind of warmth are we talking for last third of month exactly? Will it be upper 80s to 90 type heat or a string of 90s or will it be mostly high mins?

 

 

 

Yes.

 

The ECMWF weeklies tonight continue w/ the idea of warmer than normal temps from about August 18th right through the end of the run on September 10th-12th. Mid level ridge builds over SE Canada / E USA as the mean trough axis retrogrades into the northern Plains/Rockies.

 

I still think NYC sees its first official heat wave sometime in the Aug 19th-Labor Day period, with plenty of warm minima and high dew point air as well.

Because it's the summer ... even your wet, beloved LI does consistently worse with precip than most other areas.

The MOS has some 50's out in the Pine Barrens early Friday. The Euro does a little better on

the LI rainfall for the parched lawns than the NAM. But we'll see...

The seasonal trend hasn't been your friend so far if you have a big lawn out in Suffolk.

It's the fairly typical summer drought that develops along the coastal areas because they miss out on the inland T-storm activity. Hopefully tomorrow makes a dent in it but models are focusing more and more on NJ today, as usual.
