Yes it'll rain but we were supposed to get pounded with heavy rain and wind all day. This is a quick 4 hours of heavy rain and have a nice day come on yanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty clear since Monday that this was going to be a mainly convective event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worried about being stuck in some sort of dry slot, but the water vapor loop doesn't support dry slot and we should be okay until after the SLP passes.

But there is no way to tell how bad it was here. The best chance we have of recovering another Sandy caliber event in our life times is with climate change. Obviously the warming of our coastal waters and the increase in blocking patterns. Personally I doubt I ever see another Sandy. We saw some slight tweaks to the Saffir Simpson scale where a 130 mph hurricane is now considered to be a Cat 4, could this mean that both the Colonial Hurricane and the 1938 hurricanes were both Cat 4 at landfall?

The 5 NYC sites in each borough will be rooftop stations on 5 story buildings or smaller. They tried to get another one into Central Park but they couldn't get the space. There is a nice presentation in the link below. https://ams.confex.com/ams/96Annual/webprogram/Paper283586.html The New York State (NYS) Mesonet Early Warning Weather Detection System is an advanced, statewide weather station network explicitly designed to enhance local data collection for improved weather monitoring and prediction. The Mesonetwork will consist of 125 surface weather stations with at least one station in every county and borough across the state. Each of the Mesonet's 125 weather stations will measure surface temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, photographic images and soil moisture and temperature at three depths (5, 25, and 50 cm). In addition, seventeen of the sites (known as �enhanced sites�) will be outfitted with lidars and microwave radiometers providing wind, temperature, and moisture profiles in the vertical. Twenty of the sites will measure snow depth and snow water equivalent for hydrological applications, and seventeen of the sites will measure the surface energy budget, including radiation, sensible, latent and ground heat fluxes. All data will be collected every five minutes and then transmitted in real-time to a central location at the University at Albany, where the data will be quality controlled and archived, and then disseminated to a variety of users. Upon completion, real time data along with graphical products will be available to the public via a website (http://nysmesonet.org). The first Mesonet site was installed in August 2015. Site installations will continue through 2016, with the entire network expected to be completed by December 2016. This weather detection system will provide federal, state, and local communities with access to high-resolution, real-time data for improved public safety and more efficient, weather-sensitive operations. Indeed with the addition of these dense networks of surface and profiling sensors, the NYS Mesonet promises a new generation of local weather observations that will support more accurate, more precise decision-making in agriculture, emergency management, energy, ground transportation and aviation. This presentation provides a general technical overview of the system. Why are they always on the south shore I wonder. I'd like a few more up near Glen Cove, Huntington, Port Jefferson, Mt. Sinai, Wading River, Orient Point, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to email the mesonet site to get the data before 24 hrs. It would have been nice if it was there for March 2010 and Sandy for real time obs every few minutes. The 3 trees blowing down in Wantagh was north of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
