Tons of lightning and wind, though not a huge amount of rain. Downed trees everywhere. My husband had to drive on someone's lawn to get home. Our power is out. It was sunny after 5 before it happened and it's sunny again now. But! That storm just missed me at work in Great Neck Plaza. Hope your power is back up quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they keep the overgrowth as an eco-barrier to better represent the climate prior to urban sprawl, and throw out the idea of a "new norm" *shrugs* Of course, but what I am saying is why are we using data from a Park to compare to every other official NWS reporting location which are all airports lol. Let's just use LGA from now on and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're directly across the Sound from Orchard Beach, so I suppose it was an extremely local intense event. PSEG estimates our power back on at 11:30, ugh. Is this the same storm that got 6 people sent to the hospital because of lightning strikes in the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Temperatures surged into the 90s across most of the region today. High temperatures included: Allentown: 94° Baltimore: 98° Boston: 96° Bridgeport: 93° Concord: 93° Harrisburg: 96° Hartford: 95° Islip: 90° (tied record set in 2016) New York City-JFK: 88° New York City-LGA: 98° (tied record set in 2016) New York City-NYC: 93° Newark: 98° (tied record set in 1944) Philadelphia: 96° Poughkeepsie: 95° Providence: 94° Scranton: 93° Washington, DC: 96° 90° Days for Select Cities (through August 12): Albany: 4 (2020: 13 days; 5-Year Average: 13.6 days) Allentown: 20 (2020: 24 days; 5-Year Average: 27.6 days) Baltimore: 39 (2020: 46 days; 5-Year Average: 44.6 days) Boston: 18 (2020: 14 days; 5-Year Average: 17.2 days) Bridgeport: 9 (2020: 11 days; 5-Year Average: 13.4 days) Burlington: 8 (2020: 20 days; 5-Year Average: 13.0 days) Harrisburg: 27 (2020: 35 days; 5-Year Average: 30.6 days) Hartford: 19 (2020: 39 days; 5-Year Average: 29.0 days) Islip: 4 (2020: 8 days; 5-Year Average: 9.4 days) New York City-JFK: 6 (2020: 12 days; 5-Year Average: 10.2 days) New York City-LGA: 19 (2020: 34 days; 5-Year Average: 29.4 days) New York City-NYC: 13 (2020: 20 days; 5-Year Average: 18.2 days) Newark: 31 (2020: 31 days; 5-Year Average: 31.2 days) Philadelphia: 27 (2020: 36 days; 5-Year Average: 34.6 days) Scranton: 15 (2020: 25 days; 5-Year Average: 16.4 days) Washington, DC: 36 (2020: 46 days; 5-Year Average: 50.8 days) New York City-Newark Average: 17 (2020: 22 days) ...Expected: 19 (based on regression equation tied to JFK-LGA-EWR data) Searing heat again baked the Pacific Northwest. High temperatures included: Dallesport, WA: 108° (old record: 107°, 1977) Eugene, OR: 103° Medford, OR: 103° Pendleton, OR: 102° Portland: 102° ***Record-tying 5th 100° day this year*** Salem: 102° Seattle: 93° As a result of the ongoing bout of extreme heat, Portland will likely experience its second extreme heat event of the year, making 2021 the first year on record with two such events. Portland could also experience 2 or more 100° high temperatures, allowing 2021 to tie or break the all-time record for most such days. There is an increased possibility that Seattle could also experience its second extreme heat event of the year. In some of the long-range guidance that heat could later be followed by another round of heat in the Northern Plains a week or so later. If so, one will see a similar sequence of events as occurred from late June to mid-July. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.7°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.3°C for the week centered around August 4. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.48°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.23°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail into mid-September. The SOI was +6.13 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.126 today. On August 10 the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 1.894 (RMM). The August 9-adjusted amplitude was 1.435 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 54% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 76.2° (0.2° above normal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have my camera with me, as I was coming back from work. I shot it with my iPhone. If I recall correctly, one has to use the "Bulb" setting for shutter speed and ISO of either 100 or 200. Then the shutter stays open until there have been one or more lightning flashes. A tripod is needed and a remote is useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
