Amazing how that whole convective complex fell apart before getting anywhere near the south shore. It's a super frustrating place to live if you like summer rain and storms. I'm actually shocked about the 00 I thought we would at least get some showers. Probably about .5" here on 120th street. 

97% of LI stayed dry today while everyone else saw at least some rain.  Happens often. Currently 79 degrees.

Going for the shut out here. 

Needed orographic lift to get these storms going today.  That's why the activity was concentrated to the north and west of NYC.  Was actually up in the Poconos today was able to watch these all develop.  Actually found a place along the NE ext. of the PA Tpke (MP 97.4) where a microburst occurred yesterday.  Trees with 8" plus diameter were split in half.  Real interesting stuff.  Grew up on LI so I understand your pain on a day like today.  On the other hand have had only a fraction of the KU events you guys have had in the past 10 - 15 years.

Storms popping over the twin forks right now. No hills there. That's the ultimate kick in the nuts

Plenty of hills out there but it doesn't matter. For some reason we just can't get convection going on the rest of the island this summer. 

Nice and cool rain freshened air in the city right now

 The storms were popping over the peconic bay...no hills there...east end has done well this summer...storms seem to jump over the western 2/3 of the island

Exactly, the ultimate screw zone. I hate being so negative but it's truly frustrating. Let's see if we can make up for it all in one event, first with the warm front Monday. As bluewave has alluded to those can be blockbusters on the island. After that it's hope for something tropical or await the strataform season. We have gone black or close to it in august on the island in the past....

Not at the beach today. It's super hot here at Jones Beach currently with an at times dead wind. The warm water this time of year offers little relief.

lets see if there is any convection firing in the next few hours to get an idea of what should develope and where

another shot for 90's but will it last three days?

 

We have had a number of 90 degree intervals lasting only a day or 2 this summer. Clouds and rain seem to get in the way with the trough axis not too far to the west.
