I'm willing to hunch that we've had low level ... as in SST-contact flow orienting wind flux anomalies from the E to S around coastal New England this spring and summer. So perhaps now we cash-in on having a bit more robust ( over normal ...) warm seasonal recovery of oceanic surface temperatures because of it. 

I've noticed buoys S of L.I. over the Bite thermocline putting up 80 and 81 F temperatures ...talking 50 to 75 Mi S of the Island...  Meanwhile, the G-string is evident on the colorized images/sat renderings much further S... It's like a quasi 2ndary gulf stream is genesised between L.I. and the actual/real stream line of the GS.   Take note of the mid 70s eddy E of the Cape and S of NS out E of 70/40... that's like home grown thermal resident water packaged up in a whirl...so it seems.  

Keep in mind, the thermocline is pretty shallow S of L.I. .. one TC would pepi la pew a cold stripe real quick and abolish that warm layering in there
