LongBeachSurfFreak Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 7 minutes ago, bluewave said: Nice focus for storms with the one out in Suffolk being the heaviest. We would get a ton of rain on Long Island if we could lock in 75+ dew points for the whole summer and early fall like Florida does with all the sea breeze front convection. Not on the south shore which is useless as far as I'm concerned. When my parents moves to wantagh in the early 80s our neighbors said "it never rains in wantagh during the summer" while not entirely true I'm sure we average half the precip the north shore does this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if we had 75 dews the whole spring, summer and fall) There is some truth to that. Just look at the south shore of Suffolk and the pine barrens. Part of it is due to soil composition but part of it is also due to low summer rainfall. Pitch pines need way less water then hardwoods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyWx Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Going with 91° as the high. 78° is the dewpoint currently, so it feels like mid-100s around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to dinner at a friends in Wantagh last fall and they were still waiting to have the water damage repairs completely fixed in their basement.

We had about 15 min of rain. I saw some decent CTG strikes as well. The worst of the storm was about 2-3 miles north in mineola though. Mineola often does well in these setups. Seen it many many times, its like the jackpot zone when the seabreeze boundary is the focal point for convection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with that. WU is likely reporting Downtown Newark, KNJNEWAR14. Downtown Business district is always hot when it's like this. My bad.
