Next 8 days averaging 78degs., or 1deg. AN.

Month to date is  +2.9.    Should be  +2.3 by the 24th.

Last 10 days of the month look to have high temps. and humidity.   However the atmosphere divides these, it is going feel uncomfortable.

Recent NAM runs have been disappointing with the convection splitting once east NYC. Going to be a drought monitor upgrade for places like ISP on Thursday if tomorrow can't produce.

I really lucked out Saturday night with around 1.5" of badly needed rain. Hopefully we do not see the dreaded conviction split. It must have something to do with the NYC heat island. It happens time and time again. More research is definitely needed...

The north shore tends to be hit much more frequently for some reason.  I always assume it’s simply the instability axis which storms can tend to follow.  Yesterday that one cell up near SWF was tracking SSW for a long time despite the fact almost no steering flow between 500-700 was anything but NW or NNW.   As soon as the back edge of the MCS clouds cleared areas to the SE of the cell it began moving more SSE.  Almost as if the cell knew that the sun was now heating areas along the steering flow path.  LI also tends to do better with lines that approach from the NNW vs W because the sea breeze impacts them later and allows them to stay stronger vs lines that approach from the west and begin feeling impacts of south flow across NJ

Upton notes PWATS close to 2.50 for tomorrow...

-

Tuesday will see POPs continue to increase as the cold front
slowly moves through. There will be a chance for heavy rain
associated with the frontal passage. PWATs are near 2.50", which
is very high for this time of year given climatology. So
although storm total precipitation is around an inch, some
isolated areas may receive upwards of two inches. This could
lead to some urban and small stream flooding. Widespread flash
flooding looks unlikely as much of the tri-state has been
relatively dry lately. In fact, New London County is in a DO in
the US Drought Monitor.

And just 30-40 minutes north of you it's between 3-4" so far this month. C'mon up and enjoy the lushness :) 

convection has died out as it approaches the coast...seems to be more so the last few weeks-we are far enough north and west (as far as coastal folks go) that we get the goods before it dies out further S and E....this year it seems the dying out has started earlier....

Yea, we have been skunked big time in Suffolk County this summer.

seabreeze moved in and temp dropped from 91 to 90, dewpoint up to 75...we roast, even ISP hit 90, FOK 88

Another day this month with 75+ dewpoints just like Florida.

It's raining pretty hard here right now. It looks like the bulk of the storm is just off to my south though. Are you getting any of this?

Month to date is  +3.1.   Should be  +2.4 by the 25th.

7/22 --- 8/2 looking like a cloudout and rainout.

The record for consecutive days with measurable precipatation is 12, and this would tie record---also set around this time of the year.
