Despite being in a pattern not conducive to lots of heat we are still running a little above norm for the month. If that prediction is correct then soon soildly above normal. It takes a "cool" pattern just to stay close to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 This continues to look like the first summer since 2008 when the June high temperatures beat July. Interesting how this winter was the first in a while when the coldest departures occurred in December. Most recent winters has warmest departures in December. EWR June max....99...July....93 so far LGA June max....101..July....94 so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal is based on 1981-2010 averages, if you add about 1.5 to 2 above that then that would be the true normal for today's climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our climate has become more like portions of the Midatlantic during the 2010's. So when we don't see the extreme warmth of recent years, it feels cooler even if the departures are still positive. Seems like any month under +2 to +3 is our new cool pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Sweltering on the island with that northwest wind. 89. Most of nw Suffolk is around 88, with some readings at 90, similar story in northern Nassau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Cool map courtesy of Jack Sillin which shows the hot spots in northern Nassau and nw Suffolk. Akin to the urban areas of NJ and much hotter than the south shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Current example of the hot spots on the north shore. This is why we need a mesonet up here. There's no station which represents the microclimate up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NycStormChaser Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 What is the best short term model to forecast cloud cover? I have been using the HRRR but not sure how accurate that is. There is currently a solar storm in progress and the Aurora Borealis will be visible from New York State. I have photographed this many times but it looks like the further north tonight the more cloud cover there will be. I was hoping to head to the Adirondacks but weather conditions look to be better closer to the Catskills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has dozens of sites you can check all across the state (and country) specifically geared toward astronomers. Darkness, cloudcover, humidity etc all factored in. I think it uses CMC data. http://cleardarksky.com/csk/ Other than that, I've used the HRRR like you said simply becuae it updates hourly and cloud over is so finicky. Good luck.

Only .17" fell during the entire last rain period. It's definitely a micro climate as spring/summer convention is destroyed by the stabalizing marine air. Although dry summers are completely normal locally it's no less annoying. The native old growth forest of the south shore probably looked nothing like what's currently here as a result.

Santa Claus Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Storms with heavy echoes nearly stationary in PA. Whatever pops up today could lead to flash flooding though so far the metro is mostly clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 12z Euro is widely scattered interior pop up mode for convection Tue-Fri. Has more organized looking convection Sat-Tue with the next WAA push and then cold front. The strongest heat remains to the south of NYC Metro with 100's showing up for the Midatlantic.

SnoSki14 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Looks like typical summer weather of the 2010s, it'll be hot but nothing Earth shattering with chances of storms here and there. Does look like a brief cool down towards the end of the month before the cycle begins again. All in all we're right in the middle of MET summer although the loss of daylight is starting to become a bit more noticeable especially in the morning.

You can see a clear difference in the amount of precipitation Central Park and JFK average. Central Park averages 49.92", which is actually high for this region. JFK averages 42.77", which is more in line with other stations in the coastal Mid-Atlantic region. PHL - 41.50" ACY - 41.79" BWI - 41.85" DCA - 39.71" A 7" difference in yearly rainfall over a distance of 13 miles seems pretty significant. I wouldn't be surprised if some of LI's barrier islands (Rockaways included) had average totals in the upper 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would think upper 30s as your missing allot of precip during the spring and summer due to dying convection. There are even a few cactus species native to the barrier islands. The 95 summer drought killed a beautiful pure stand of dozens of 100' plus tulip trees next to wantagh high school, probably the biggest trees on the entire south shore and more like what you see on the northern state in western Nassau.

I went to the Catskills instead of the Adirondacks because the Aurora Borealis was dying down pretty quickly. I caught a few shots right before it quit for the night.
