Did some research and the bird is Pileated. The bird went to town on a few old stumps. This bird knows how to grind wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 18z NAM is a solid event for the area. 0.75 to an inch in the far NW zones to 1.5-2.0 heading towards the city and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the seabreeze have any effect there? Or does wind from those directions blow over a hot tarmac or something before reaching the instruments? At any rate, next 8 days average out NORMAL (65 ). Month will make or break even depending on the holiday temps., which have increased by 10 degs. from 2 days ago. PS. In an unrelated matter. Runners (the leaders) in the half-marathon have been arriving here in CI for 10mins. CPK is Chesapeake, VA. NOT Central Park. How many times do we need to go over this? LGA is kind of a joke at this point. It's definitely running high. I believe the ASOS is located between runways near the water so in terms of overnight lows, I can't take it seriously. Just look at the departures for the month updated through yesterday. LGA is now running nearly 3 degrees higher than everywhere else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the departures for the month updated through yesterday. LGA is now running nearly 3 degrees higher than everywhere else! That's just the warmest part of city with the strongest UHI. The sensor is on a grassy strip not far from the water. LGA has about as much concrete as the rest of that part of NYC with all the buildings and streets. The LGA record highs this week were greatly enhanced by the higher starting point with the new record 80 min for May. http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa6e59/meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 fyi there is/was a case study done by NOAA and weather from DC to NYC. PDF file is out there. LGA measures snow on a roof hanger at the airport. Photos of each is documented. As far as the warm temp question = zone of location..likely a down burst of warm air from airplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes CPK gives you Cheasapeake, VA. weather. In the way it was used here, there could be no confusion. NYC could mean anywhere in the city limits.

That isn't warm air from planes since it's mainly the warm low temperatures driving the warm average temperature. Notice how the average highs this month are closer to Newark than the lows which is UHI. LGA...71.3...55.5 EWR..69.8...51.7 https://www.weather.gov/media/lmk/pdf/educational_pages/ASOSandClimateObservations__What_Is_ASOS.pdf There are also some things that you would think affect the readings but generally don’t, such as jet exhaust. There are algorithms (computer code) in ASOS that take these quick fluctuations into account. These algorithms have been developed and tested to provide the most accurate and sensible data for a given sensor by using sampling over a period of time and other methods proven to weed out spikes in the sensor data that are caused by non- meteorological influences.
