dWave Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 32 minutes ago, bluewave said: It looks like the old thermometer was located on the castle in the sunlight before the 1990’s. That’s why NYC had more 90 days before the 1990’s than after. High temperatures on the castle were often warmer than LGA and very close to Newark. But putting the thermometer under the thick canopy and vegetation around November 95 caused an artificial decline in high temperatures. So we really can’t compare pre-1995 temperature data with post. Here is another NYT article about when the thermometer in the castle got vandalized in 1977. They had to start taking temperatures at LGA for a while. https://www.nytimes.com/1977/12/31/archives/castle-is-secure-but-weathermen-are-still-moving.html Vandals’ destruction of equipment in the castle had disrupted the Weather Service's collection of meteorological data so frequently that the service had decided not to bother with repairing the station after a particularly severe incident of vandalism two months ago, Instead, the service took all its temperatures at an alternative station at La Guardia Airport in Queens, All of the reasons everyone has mentioned is probably why most major cities just use the airports. Could be tough to find a place with enough space to have an acceptable sitting, yet safe and protected from vandals and other interference. The sheep meadow would be nice but imagine permanently closing that to the public lol. I don't think vandalism at the castle would be as much of a problem now as it was back then anyway. They probably could put it back with little issue. The current site can be easily vandalized too but that doesnt seem to be a problem. I wonder, they cant get permission from the city to trim the trees around it? Maybe cut down a couple all together. It wouldnt be perfect but itd be an improvement and wouldnt involve breaking the continuity by moving the site. They could offer to pay for the planting of a few new trees elsewhere to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am around 7 or 8 90 degree days to date, I'll have to go back and look over my data to confirm. Ten (10) 90 degree days for me so far. 9 this month and 1 last month.

JFK made it to 114 this July. Also numerous hourly dewpoint record highs and ties. So a continuation of the unprecedented dewpoint surge since 2016. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?_wait=no&q=153&network=NY_ASOS&zstation=JFK&month=all&var=max_feel&dpi=100&_fmt=png 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the potential for an organized MCs tomorrow or just scattered storms there is a shot today, which HRRR has mostly been totally clueless about. there is some dry air and a warm layer aloft, but neither of these is sufficient to prevent isolated cells. already seeing some well inland, but the seabreeze fronts will focus a few nearby. only about a 20% chance for anyone in the city to see one, higher chances over eastern LI, CT, Hudson Valley and parts of NJ. take the weather you see over western PA and upstate today, and put it squarely over us tomorrow. looks like numerous storms in the afternoon hours as the weakening front/trough approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Thunderstorms with lots of lightning here. Storms along a weak boundary on the north shore of Suffolk County.

Surface winds along the north shore have been light off of the sound while the rest of the island has had a southerly breeze. That and watching the radar over the past couple of hours and the boundary looks more LIS related rather than the ocean sea breeze which should be able to easily overpower any local sound breeze. Lots of thunder and a little rain here. A mile or 2 north (e.g., Short Beach) a lot of days are being ruined. I'm about 2 miles north of the dot representing Smithtown right on the edge of the precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of thunder and a little rain here. A mile or 2 north (e.g., Short Beach) a lot of days are being ruined. The sea breeze front from the ocean often runs up to the North Shore and meets the convergence zone where the local winds are more NW. Stony Brook gusted to 30 mph with a quick .35. You can see the CU field along the sea breeze front starting out near ISP a few hours back. The convection developed when it reached the local sound breeze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I literally watched those storms blow up from the Northern State and the LIE. Started as a tall but small columnar cumulous cloud not visible on radar and blew up right before my eyes, overtaking 1/3rd of the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
