Yes I am, thanks, but I don't post videos of the Montauk Intellistar II. I think you mean the Islip Intellistar II.

With an early season snowfall anticipated across parts of the
tri-state area... this public information statement has been issued
to offer historical early season snowfall data. Below is a list of
the earliest recorded measurable snowfall at the six major climate
sites in our area. Additional data for Central Park is also listed.

Site date snowfall records kept since
kbdr-Bridgeport Oct 4 1987 0.5 1948
knyc-Central Park Oct 15 1876 0.5 1869
kewr-Newark Oct 20 1952 0.3 1931

... Record October snowfall amount set for Central Park NY...

As of 2 PM today... Central Park recorded 1.3 inches of snowfall.
Since snowfall records began in 1869... an inch of snowfall has never
been recorded in the month of October. The last two times that
measurable snow fell in the month of October was... October 21 1952
with 0.5 inches and October 30 1925 with 0.8 inches.
Therefore... this breaks the daily record for snowfall in October and
the most snowfall ever recorded in the month of October.

Post by: TWCCraig on October 30, 2011, 09:16:06 AM

Officially picked up 0.3" of snow at KISP. This is the earliest snowfall ever record here. The previous early snowfall record was Nov. 8th, 2010. The ocean kept much of central and eastern Long Island warm, helping the precipitation to fall as rain, it did transition all to snow at 10PM last night and ended around 2:30AM. The temperatures never dropped below freezing so the snow only stuck to the grass, cars and roofs. Places west of here like (NYC) received over 2" there compared to only 0.3" out here. Ocean temperatures remain in the low 60's.

Record highs are in jeopardy once again. Tomorrow's forecast high is 65°F which would tie the record set in 1999.

Talk about being above average. I hate when it's too warm. :rolleyes:

This month so far has been 3.2°F above average. This will make it the 10th month in a row with above average temperatures. Last below average month was January 2011. Good news is that it looks like temperatures will cool down to average and below average for December.

... Statement on record annual precipitation at New York Central
Park...

1983 was a record-breaking year for annual precipitation across the
New York City metropolitan area. During 1983... records were
established at Newark... La Guardia... and JFK airports... as well as
at Central Park. Recorded annual precipitation for 1983 at the
National Weather Service weather station at Central Park totaled
80.56 inches... more than any other year on record. This
record... however... has been in dispute since 1983... when the annual
summary of the local climatological data publication for Central
Park... published by the NOAA National climatic data
center... indicated that 1983 precipitation was determined by NWS
eastern region to be excessive due to malfunctioning equipment.

This issue has received renewed interest as 2011 totaled 72.81
inches of precipitation at Central Park... the second highest total
measured.

To investigate and resolve the record precipitation issue at Central
Park... a team comprised of representatives from the National Weather
Service eastern region Headquarters... the National climatic data
center... the New York state climate office... the northeast regional
climate center... National Weather Service Headquarters and the
National Weather Service New York... N.Y... .weather forecast office
analyzed the 1983 precipitation data for both Central Park and
surrounding sites. The team also reviewed local service records and
climate logs and consulted with a former National Weather Service
employee who was involved in the 1983 decision at National Weather
Service eastern region Headquarters.

Given no documented record of a malfunction in the precipitation
gauge... and no clear evidence of erroneous observations when
compared to surrounding stations... the consensus of the team is that
the 80.56 inch annual precipitation value for 1983 at Central Park
is representative and that had an equipment malfunction
occurred... it would not have significantly affected the annual
precipitation total.

Further analysis of the 1983 precipitation data by the National
climatic data center resulted in a determination to certify the 1983
annual precipitation record at Central Park... thus making it
official. With a total of 72.81 inches of precipitation recorded at
Central Park last year... 2011 will officially be regarded as the
second wettest year on record at Central Park... with 1983 as the
wettest.

In summary for Central Park in Manhattan...

During 1983... 80.56 inches of precipitation occurred which was 30.62
inches above normal and is the official record for annual precipitation.

During 2011... 72.81 inches of precipitation occurred which was 22.87
inches above normal and is the second highest annual precipitation amount.

Precipitation records for Central Park date back to 1869.

30 mph with 40 to 45 mph gusts will develop this evening. Winds

... Dry and windy weather for today...

Persistent dry weather with low relative humidities and gusty
winds will promote the spread of ignited brush fires across the
local area.

Most areas received less than 1/2 inch of rain so far this month.
West winds around 15 mph are forecast to gust to around 25 mph as
relative humidities decrease to 30 to 40 percent this afternoon.

If brush fires are ignited... these conditions will aid in the spread
of them.

These conditions fall short of reaching red flag warning criteria.
However... continue to monitor your latest National Weather Service
forecasts.

A dry air mass will combine with gusty northwest winds this
morning and early this afternoon to create conditions more
conducive for the spread of wildfire.

Relative humidity values should decrease to around 30 percent by
late morning... with gusts to around 25 mph. High pressure then
builds east from the Ohio Valley with gradually diminishing winds
in the afternoon.

Gusty west to northwest winds through this afternoon combined with
low relative humidity will result in an enhanced fire spread.

Winds will gust up to 20 mph through this afternoon and relative
humidity will fall to between 20 and 30 percent. This combination
along with drier fine fuels will create conditions more conducive
to fire spread through this afternoon if ignition occurs.

**IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL STORM APPROACHING THIS WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY WEEK

There is a major coastal storm that's going to form over the gulf, tracking up the east coast, bringing tons of moisture along with it. Timing: Sun-Mon. Impacts are: Heavy Rain, 2-3", locally up to 5", isolated areas with precipitation rates up to 1" per hour in heavier bands; High winds, the track of this storm can alter the winds greatly, still, high winds are expected. There are two scenarios that can happen:

Scenario #1:

(http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7206/scen1.jpg)

Scenario #2:

(http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9278/scen2.jpg)

Even if the winds are weaker than expected, damage could be done to due the sprouting of many deciduous trees in our area. Downed trees are expected to be scarce because the soil is very dry, despite the rain that we will get.

RWSSS (Relative Wind Storm Severity Scale): Category 3 - Highest sustained wind of 35-40mph or highest gust of 55-60mph

Update: At first, it appeared that this storm was more likely to take the track demonstrated in Scenario #1, however, the latest model runs of the NAM, GFS, and the ECMWF show the storm taking a similar track of Scenario #2, this could potentially increase the winds over the New York metropolitan area and elsewhere. The NAM model is predicting sustained winds of 30-35kts over Central Long Island early Monday morning; the GFS and the ECMWF are predicting weaker winds ~ 20-30kts. Considering the fact the models are indicating a more inland track and higher winds, this pattern may continue, and the forecast winds may increase on the GFS and the ECMWF and would be equivalent to the NAM's forecast winds. If the winds described on the NAM happen, it is likely that the NWS will issue a High Wind Warning, which would make this storm severely life threatening with the trees full, similar to Hurricane Irene. I will continue to monitor new model runs and bring new updates to this thread as more data rolls in, and as the storm develops.

Update#2 (3:49PM 4-21-12): The NWS has increased their wind forecast for Sunday night, they are now expecting wind gusts as high as 50mph. The original forecast was wind gusts as high as 35mph

Update #3 (6:32PM 4-21-12): The GFS isn't predicting strong winds like the NAM is, this is according to the 18z model runs. The GFS predicts the storm to have a large center of circulation while the NAM shows the storm with a small center of circulation; a smaller center of circulation will cause stronger winds. Unfortunately, it is hard to predict what will happen, I'll just have to monitor the storm as it develops. FLOOD WATCH in effect:

... Flood Watch in effect from Sunday afternoon through Monday
morning...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a

* Flood Watch for all of southern Connecticut... northeast New
Jersey and southeast New York...

* from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.

* Rainfall with a cold front passing through tonight should be
less than a half inch. This front will then stall just to the
south on Sunday... and serve as the focus for heavy rain Sunday
afternoon as an intensifying coastal storm moves northward and
transports considerable Atlantic moisture along with it.

* Rainfall with the coastal storm will begin Sunday morning... and
become heavy at times later Sunday afternoon. The heaviest rain
should occur during the first half of Sunday night in the New
York City metropolitan area... western Long Island and the lower
Hudson Valley... and overnight Sunday night in southern
Connecticut and eastern Long Island... with hourly rainfall rates
approaching an inch per hour in the heaviest rain bands.

* Total rainfall of two and one half to three and one half
inches... with locally higher amounts... could cause significant
flooding of urban and poor drainage areas... and flooding of fast
responding small streams. Hard dry ground due to lack of recent
rainfall... and storm drains that have not yet been cleared of
winter debris... may actually contribute to additional runoff in
these areas. Main Stem rivers are unlikely to experience
flooding.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be
alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to
flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.

The National Weather Service in Upton NY has issued an

* Urban Flood Advisory for minor flooding of poor drainage areas
in...
Suffolk County in southeast New York...
Nassau County in southeast New York...

* until 345 am EDT...

* at 949 PM EDT moderate to heavy rain was falling across Long
Island and is expected to continue through the early morning hours.
Rainfall rates around half an inch an hour are expected during this
time.

These type of rainfall rates will cause flooding of urban
areas... highways... streets and underpasses as well as other drainage
areas and low lying spots.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. Most flooding deaths occur in automobiles. Turn around and
find another Route.

Be prepared to take action if the flooding threat increases... or a
warning is issued.

This storm was different in many areas. You had to be right on the coast to experience high winds, which is why KJFK reported a sustained wind of 46mph and a 54mph wind gust, and another place in NY up to 58mph to make this a Category: 4 on the Relative Wind Storm Severity Scale; (there are 6 categories on the RWSSS). My weather station picked up 2.93" of rain in total from this nor'easter. The lowest pressure was 986.5hPa. We went from having a rainfall deficit of 10.07" to 7.38" <- Please note this isn't entirely accurate because the data on Wunderground fluctuates.

The following are unofficial observations taken during the recent
storm that has been affecting our region. Appreciation is extended to
Highway departments... cooperative observers... Skywarn spotters and

Freeze Warning in effect. I don't think it will go below freezing where I'm at but most of the radiational cooling areas around the tri-state may dip into the 20's (Long Island Pine Barrens, New Jersey Pine Barrens etc.) The wind and the ocean for the most part will keep me a bit warmer than the rest, NYC will have the urban heat island effect :rolleyes:

... Freeze warning in effect from 4 am to 8 am EDT Saturday...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a freeze
warning... which is in effect from 4 am to 8 am EDT Saturday. The
freeze watch is no longer in effect.

* Locations... southwestern coastal Connecticut... portions of the
lower Hudson Valley and northeastern New Jersey... and eastern
Long Island.

* Hazards... freezing temperatures.

* Temperatures... around 32. Mid 20s possible across The Pine
Barrens of eastern Long Island.

* Timing... between 4 am EDT and 8 am EDT Saturday.

* Impacts... any outdoor... sensitive vegetation may suffer damage
if not protected.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A freeze warning means below freezing temperatures are imminent
or highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and other
sensitive vegetation.

... This is severe weather awareness week...

Today Marks the end of severe weather awareness week.

Here is a quick review of the important points made this week.

Over the last 20 years... severe weather has killed 109 people in New
York... including 49 people due to flooding... 15 due to
tornadoes... 32 due to damaging thunderstorm winds and 13 from
lightning. In addition... severe weather has caused over three
quarters of a billion dollars in damage. On average... the National
Weather Service issues 400 severe thunderstorm warnings... 17 tornado
warnings and about 150 flash flood warnings each year for New York
state.

Plan now to keep safe during severe weather.

Before a storm... develop a plan for you and your family at
home... school... work... and when outdoors. Identify a safe place to
take shelter. Conduct frequent drills. Know what action you will
take when a warning is issued. Know where you live. The National
Weather Service issues warnings based on a specific storm's
movement. Know where to tune to receive the latest weather
information.

During severe weather... postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms
are imminent. Move to a sturdy building or car. Stay away from tall
objects such as towers... isolated trees and telephone poles. If
caught outdoors... find a low spot. Make sure your choice is not
susceptible to flooding. If in the Woods... take shelter under
smaller trees. If you are boating or swimming... seek shelter on land
immediately.

If a Tornado Warning is issued... move to a pre designated place of
safety... preferably a basement or interior room. Stay away from
windows. Get as low to the ground as possible. Cover your head. If
caught outdoors and a tornado threatens ... lie flat in a ditch or
depression and cover your head with your hands. Be aware of flying
debris. Flying debris causes most fatalities and injuries during a
tornado. Mobile homes offer little protection from a tornado.
Evacuate your Mobile home and move to your designated place of
safety.

Flash flooding can be deadly. Never underestimate the power of
water. Almost half of all flash flood related deaths occur in
automobiles. Two feet of flowing water will cause most cars to
float... smaller cars will float in less water. Flooding hazards are
increased at night when visibility is reduced. The National Weather
Service urges you to respect all barriers that warn of flooded
roads. Turn around ... don't drown.

The National Weather Service issues severe weather watches and
warnings. A watch means that severe weather...
severe thunderstorms... tornadoes or flash flooding is possible. You
should already know what to do if a warning is issued. A warning
means that severe weather is imminent or occurring. When any severe
weather warning... is issued... take immediate action to protect your
life.

Taking steps now to prepare for severe weather will help keep you
and your family safe should flooding threaten your neighborhood.

Page. Today concludes severe weather awareness week.

POSSIBLE HURRICANE/TROPICAL STORM/SUB-TROPICAL STORM INTO LATE MAY/EARLY JUNE. The GFS has been showing the development of a tropical system in the Western Caribbean. From it's development, it moves north possible effecting South-eastern Florida, then moving tangent to the east coast, until it retrogrades around Cape Hatteras due to a blocking high to the north, if the blocking high to north moves more east, it will then allow the storm to continue it's move up the east coast, possible effecting the entire east coast. There is still a good chance that this could also blow out to sea, and not effect land at all (except in the Caribbean). If it does effect the east coast, its strength is uncertain; water temperatures off the southeast coast should be around 80 by late May/early June (higher water temps possible with the Gulf Stream); and water temps along the Mid-Atlantic and New England coast should be in the 60's, 50's near Maine. Water temps in the 60's could make this a sub-tropical/extra-tropical event, but still powerful. As the storm retrogrades, it could gain intensity, if it then gains momentum from a strong jet, it could move fast enough where it would not loose much intensity and could effect the Mid-Atlantic and New England as a strong topical storm or hurricane. If that scenario doesn't happen, the storm could move out to sea, or effect us as a sub-tropical storm. Again, this way far out to tell what might happen. We'll have to wait and see. :hmm:

... Dense fog advisory in effect until 9 am EDT Wednesday...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a dense fog
advisory... which is in effect until 9 am EDT Wednesday.

* Locations... Rockland and Westchester counties in New York... the
New York City Metro area... extreme northeast New Jersey... Long
Island and southern Connecticut.

* Hazards... dense fog.

* Visibilities... 1/4 to 1/2 mile and occasionally lower.

* Timing... through tonight into early Wednesday morning.

* Impacts... very low visibility.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be
reduced to one quarter mile or less. If driving... slow down... use
your low beam headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of
you in case a sudden stop is needed.

Title: Re: Long Island Weather
Post by: TWCCraig on May 18, 2012, 03:49:35 PM

I use this scale in some of my posts. It's made by me to determine the strength of non-tropical low pressure systems.

Code: [Select]

Relative Wind Storm Severity Scale (RWSSS)

Cat 6. - Sustained Winds of 50mph+ or gusts to hurricane force or exceeding
Cat 5. - Sustained Winds of 50mph+ or gusts to 70mph or higher
Cat 4. - Sustained Winds of 40mph+ or gusts to 60mph or higher
Cat 3. - Sustained Winds of 35mph+ or gusts to 55mph or higher
Cat 2. - Sustained Winds of 30mph+ or gusts to 50mph or higher
Cat 1. - Sustained Winds of 25mph+ or gusts to 45mph or higher


Notable Recent Wind Storms:
Cat 6. - March 13,2010 gusts of 75mph reported
Cat 5. - December 26-27,2010 gusts of 70mph reported
Cat 4. - December 7-8,2011 gusts of 69mph were reported
Cat 4. - December 27,2011 gusts of 63mph were reported
Cat 4. - April 22-23,2012 sustained winds of 46mph(KLGA) and gusts of 58mph were reported
Cat 3. - October 28-29,2011 gusts of 55mph were reported
Cat 3. - February 25,2012 sustained winds of 39mph and gusts of 59mph were reported

The RWSSS is meant for use in determining the severity of non-tropical low pressure systems 
and is not associated with severe weather, ex. Tornadoes, Straight Line Wind etc.
When determining the serverity, use only official observed weather data from within a 50 mile radius to your location; meaning
that if there is wind gust higher in another place that's greater than 50 miles from your location, that weather data would
be invalid for use in determining the serverity of the wind storm. Areas with frequently high wind (Ex. Mt. Washington), would
not count because those areas normally recieve high winds.

Title: Re: Long Island Weather
Post by: TWCCraig on May 19, 2012, 09:52:36 AM

There's a 20% chance of tropical development on that low pressure just off the coast from the Carolinas. I don't think it will develop. I'm not worried about that. What I'm concerned about is the possible development of a sub-tropical cyclone later in the week. This storm that the GFS is depicting is expected to head north from the eastern Caribbean, with a well defined warm core at its center. It's expected to remain off shore; it might bring some rain showers and gusty winds to places in eastern Massachusetts like Cape Cod. The eastern side of this storm is expected to be stronger than the western side; the eastern side looks to have more precipitation and with a tighter pressure gradient due to a strong high east of the storm which would make the eastern side stronger. If the track doesn't change, we can only expect a few showers and strong surf from this, but if the track goes any more inland, and the winds might increase. We'll have to see. :thinking:

This line of showers and thunderstorms could weaken significantly by the time it gets to us because of the cooler ocean water, hence the reason why we are not under a severe thunderstorm watch. Sea Breeze enhanced winds out ahead of this front are creating gusty SSW winds with gusts 25-40mph.

Wow, definitely one of the strongest storms I've ever experienced since Hurricane Irene. Constant wind gusts up to 50mph, VERY heavy rain coming down horizontal, fierce lightning, visibility down to 0.2 miles. It was like the Apocalypse. It was like a hurricane. Rainfall rates of 1.09" an hour, flooding, isolated power outages, branches and some trees down. I recorded video of it last night, but my camera sucks in the dark so it really only recorded sound, which is still pretty good because the rain & wind combined were very loud. I'm surprised we didn't loose power. Imagine a 40-50mph down-burst thunderstorm that lasted 6 hours, that's what it was like here last night. I'll get and post observation data once the data becomes available.

I took the radar data from today's storm and analyzed it both in 2-D and 3-D. I used the Isosurface KML Generator in the program I was using to generate a 3-D image of the storm at specific heights ASL (Above Sea Level).

We got another storm on our hands tonight. Except this time, winds aren't going to be the main issue. The main issue with this storm will be the heavy rain. A slow moving cold front will trigger heavy amounts of rain. Winds will be light, 10-20mph with a occasional gust to 30mph.

We got a heat wave coming up. Dew points right around 70, more humid the closer to the coast, especially on Thursday. These will be the area's first 90 degree days. So far, we are actually running below average on 90 degree days, and we should have had our first 90 degree day already! :blink:

... Heat advisory in effect until 8 PM EDT this evening...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a heat
advisory... which is in effect until 8 PM EDT this evening.

* Locations... western Suffolk County.

* Hazards... high heat.

* Heat index values... 100 to 104.

* Timing... this afternoon and early evening.

* Impacts... these expected heat indices will result in dangerous
conditions for those spending prolonged periods of time outside.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A heat advisory is issued when the combination of heat and
humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 100 to
104 degrees for two consecutive hours. Take extra precautions if
you work or spend time outside. When possible... reschedule
strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs
and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light
weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty
of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work the occupational safety and
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency... call 9 1 1.

I'd like to also point out that we probably will break the record for the All-time Highest June Min-Temperature on record. That record is 75 degrees. So far, the low at KISP this morning was only 77 degrees, and with temperatures likely to remain above 77 degrees for the rest of the day, the low is likely to remain at 77. This is 2 degrees higher than the original All-time Highest June Min-Temperature on record, and 4 degrees shy of the All-time Highest Min-Temperature on record in KISP history.

It's truly amazing how much rain we had over the past couple of days! Get a load of this! My weather station's original 1-hour rainfall record was 1.11" set on 4-17-2011. We broke that record just the other day on 6-22-2012, coming in with 1.29" of rain. And now only a dew days later, today 6-25-2012, we broke it again!, coming in with 1.35" and still climbing!

We got a heat wave on our hands over the next couple of days. Unfortunately, it's hard to predict how hot it will get. A SW wind is a on-shore flow, which may keep temperatures down a little. While inland places will be approaching 100°F, coastal locations should be in the low to mid 90's. Also, humidity will increase, but there isn't much confidence in how much. Dew Points are supposed to increase into the mid and upper 60's (possible some 70's if a sea breeze kicks in). The NWS forecast calls for a drop in dew points on Friday and Saturday, during the afternoon hours. It is uncertain how much the ocean will effect us over the next couple of days. If the sea breeze isn't much of a factor, temperatures will be higher, but humidity will be lower; if a slight sea breeze kicks in, it will be slightly cooler but humidity will increase.

... Heat advisory in effect from noon to 6 PM EDT Wednesday...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a heat
advisory... which is in effect from noon to 6 PM EDT Wednesday.

* Locations... Nassau and western Suffolk counties.

* Hazards... heat related illnesses.

* Heat index values... up to 100 degrees... except at the immediate
South Shore.

* Timing... Wednesday afternoon.

* Impacts... potential health hazards to those prone to heat stress
such as seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental
disability.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A heat advisory is issued when the combination of heat and
humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 100 to
104 degrees for two consecutive hours.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible... reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work the occupational safety and
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency... call 9 1 1.

At home... use air conditioning to stay cool or go to a place that
has air conditioning. Drink water at regular intervals. Check in
on your at-risk family... friends... and neighbors... especially
if they don't have air conditioning or live alone.

... Strong to severe thunderstorms expected this afternoon...

A strong cold front will push south across the area this afternoon.
The heat and humidity of the past several days has created a very
unstable atmosphere across the region... and this will lead to the
development of widespread thunderstorms by early this afternoon.

The first areas to see thunderstorm development will be across far
northern New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley... beginning around
noon or 1 PM. These storms will then move fairly quickly to the
southeast... reaching New York City and coastal locations between 2
PM and 4 PM before moving offshore by early this evening.

Some of these storms will be severe... with damaging winds in excess
of 60 mph and large hail. Flash flooding is also possible as the
moist atmosphere will allow these storms to produce 1 to 2 inches of
rainfall in a short amount of time. Frequent cloud to ground
lightning is also expected.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and local media outlets for the
latest information.

The National Weather Service in Upton NY has issued an

* Urban Flood Advisory for...
Suffolk County in southeast New York...
Nassau County in southeast New York...

* until 245 PM EDT...

* at 116 PM EDT National Weather Service radar showed heavy
showers and thunderstorms south of Long Island moving northeast
around 40 mph. These storms will cross Nassau and western Suffolk
County between 130 and 230 PM.

Maximum hourly rainfall rates will vary from 1 to 2 inches causing
rapid ponding of water in low lying and poor drainage areas
throughout the advisory area.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. Most flooding deaths occur in automobiles. Turn around and
find another Route.

Excessive runoff from this storm will cause flooding of urban
areas... highways... streets and underpasses as well as other drainage
areas and low lying spots.

... Strong thunderstorms will impact Nassau and Suffolk counties...

At 117 PM EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar was tracking a
strong thunderstorm 12 miles south of Gilgo State Park... or 13 miles
southwest of Robert Moses State Park... and moving north at 40 mph.

Frequent cloud to ground lightning... and winds up to 40 mph are
expected with this storm. In addition... very heavy rain... with
rainfall rates between 1 and 2 inches an hour... is occurring with
this storm. This could cause ponding of water on roadways... and
minor flooding of poor drainage areas.

Lightning is one of natures number one killers. Remember... if you can
hear thunder... you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Move
to safe shelter immediately.

The warmest temp the entire month is only 88°F (below average) which was August 3rd. If the low temp doesn't drop below 70°F before midnight, it will be the first day since August 12th that the low temp never dropped below 70°F, 16 days in a row with lows in the 60's, a very long time.

Extremely cold temperatures are expected tonight. Tonight temperatures are expected to drop into the 50's. In radiational cooling spots, 40's can't be ruled out. These temperatures will be the coldest of the month and the coldest they have been all summer. The coldest temperature in the month of July here was 60.3°F and in August 60.8°F. We are already at 63.5°F at my weather station and we still have 7 hours of cooling to go through. I forecast a low of 57°F at my station. I was out before and I was able to see my breath! :brr:

From NWS Hazardous Weather Outlook:
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR AN ORGANIZED LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO
DEVELOP AHEAD OF THIS FRONT AND AFFECT THE AREA LATE SATURDAY INTO

TORRENTIAL RAIN AND STRONG TO DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

Probably will have a severe thunderstorm watch put in effect tomorrow afternoon.

Northeast Severe Weather Outbreak - 9/8-9/9/2012

**This discussion will mainly be based off of Long Island.

Severe Weather Outbreak possible this afternoon and tonight. Out ahead of frontal boundary, moderate 20-25kt sustained surface winds will develop, primarily in coastal locations. Gusts could be as high as 40kts excluding thunderstorm wind gusts. Thunderstorm wind gusts could be as high as 60-70kts. Isolated tornadoes are possible. Given the timing, Long Island will be most impacted tonight between 8PM-3AM. **Tornado warnings have already been issued for Long Island, this is going to be one crazy day for weather here on LI. Damaging non-thunderstorm and thunderstorm related wind gusts are expected. I posted the tornado warning above^. Non-thunderstorm related wind gusts could be even as high as 50kts if strong LLJ develops. SPC said that a TORNADO WATCH IS LIKELY.

Surface sustained winds in kts, green = 20-24kts, yellow = 25-29kts.

A week and a half ago, I made a post stating how cold it was going to get. But now it really is going to get cold! In the LI Pine Barrens, EXTREME radiational cooling will take place, dropping low temps into the LOW 40's! Coastal locations are expected to stay in the mid to upper 50's, where I'm at, low to mid 50's. Here's the NWS forecast for my area then below it, the forecast for the pine barrens.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
00Z MODELS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE CURRENT FCST OF A POTENTIALLY
SIGNIFICANT STORM TUE INTO WED. THE ECMWF DOES REMAIN A SLIGHTLY
SLOWER SOLUTION WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. IN FACT...THE
MODEL TRIES TO LINGER THE BOUNDARY JUST E OF THE CWA. WITH
RESPECT TO WIND...THE 00Z NAM IS BEGINNING TO PRODUCE FIELDS FOR
THE EVENT. IT IS NOTED THAT BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SHOW 40KT BL
WINDS WITH THIS SYSTEM...PRODUCING A WIND ADVISORY SCENARIO.
STRONGER WIND POTENTIAL IN CONVECTION AS 925 HPA WINDS IN THE GFS
ARE 50-55KT. NO MAJOR CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE OFFICIAL
FCST...AND THE HWO WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE STORM.

A FULL LATITUDE TROUGH DEVELOPS TUE INTO TUE NIGHT FROM THE GREAT
LAKES INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THIS WILL SEND A DEEPENING STORM
SYSTEM NE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TUE AND INTO THE UPSTATE OF NY BY
TUE NIGHT...AND FROM THERE INTO EASTERN CANADA. A WARM FRONT WILL
PRECEDE THE LOW DURING THE DAY TUE...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE ON WED.

From NWS:
WARM ADVECTION SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE DAY TUE...BUT WILL
LIKELY INCREASE IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. THE
EMPHASIS WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE DURING TUE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS DEEP SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING COINCIDES WITH
SOUTHERN BRANCH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. A 50 TO 60 KT 925 MB
LOW-LEVEL JET WITH BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ON THE ORDER OF 40 KT WILL
RESULT IN WINDY CONDITIONS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA BEING MET. THE DIFFICULT PART OF THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO
BE HOW UNSTABLE WILL THE LOW-LEVELS GET. THE ANOMALOUS NATURE OF THE
LOW-LEVEL JET...MU CAPES ON THE ORDER 500 TO 1000 J/KG...AND WARM
WATERS TO THE SOUTH ALL POINT TO DECENT MIXING. IN FACT...NAM
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOWS 7 TO 8 DEG C LAPSE RATES UP TO 900 MB. THIS
POINTS TO A SYNOPTIC SCALE WIND EVENT WITH EVEN STRONGER WINDS IN
ANY EMBEDDED CONVECTION. RIGHT NOW...STILL GOING WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH...BUT THIS MAY BE
ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED INGREDIENTS.
SHOULD THESE INGREDIENTS CONTINUE TO PREVAIL IN SUBSEQUENT MODEL
RUNS AND FORECASTER CONFIDENCE GROWS...WINDS WILL BE ADJUSTED
UPWARDS.

Sorry to post so much in this thread.

*Gale Watch now in effect

90% Chance of Wind Advisory
20% Chance of High Wind Warning

... Gale watch in effect from Tuesday afternoon through late
Tuesday night...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a gale watch...
which is in effect from Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday
night.

* Location... forecast waters surrounding Long Island... and New
York Harbor.

* Winds... south 20 to 30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt.

* Seas... 7 to 12 feet.

* Timing... Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night... with the
highest winds and seas likely Tuesday night.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A gale watch is issued when the risk of gale force winds of 34 to
47 kt has significantly increased... but the specific timing
and/or location is still uncertain. It is intended to provide
additional lead time for mariners who may wish to consider
altering their plans.

From NWS Forecast Discussion:
WITH THE DEEPENING LOW MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES TUESDAY SOUTHERLY
WINDS STRENGTHEN. ALL MODELS INDICATE A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET
WITH WINDS AT 950 MB INCREASING FROM AROUND 45 KT IN THE AFTERNOON
TO NEAR 60 KT BY TUESDAY EVENING. WINDS AND GUSTS WILL BE
APPROACHING ADVISORY LEVELS LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.
INCREASING THETA E VALUES WILL RESULT IN CATEGORICAL POPS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. SEVERE WEATHER THREAT INCREASES DURING
THE DAY TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS INSTABILITY INCREASE AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT. PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. HEAVY
RAINFALL ALSO LIKELY WITH DEEP FEED OF MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO INTO THE REGION. ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL POSSIBLE WITH
URBAN AND LOW LYING FLOODING THE MAIN THREAT. HOWEVER...IF STORMS
TRAIN OVER THE SAME REGION THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING
INCREASES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY INTO THE LOWER
HUDSON VALLEY.

I'm still sticking with my forecast wind map posted above, no changes are expected to be made

Title: Re: Long Island Weather
Post by: TWCCraig on September 17, 2012, 03:04:29 PM

**PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA ARE ALREADY UNDER A HIGH WIND WATCH. Though the criteria for a High Wind Watch for those areas are lower than ours, the current area under a High Wind Watch is inland, according to the watch's description, specifically only the higher elevations are likely to receive warning criteria level winds. Given that Long Island geographically favors high winds, I now give Long Island a 100% chance of being put under at least a Wind Advisory, and now a 50% chance of a High Wind Watch.

EDIT: **WESTERN AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY ARE NOW UNDER A WIND ADVISORY**

Wow, it has been a very warm October so far. Highs in the 70's and 80's and lows in the 50's and 60's. So far the average monthly temperature for October has been warmer than September's average monthly temperature.

Average Monthly Temp (Oct): 66.8°F

Long Island still holding on to the 50°F+ temperatures while the rest of the tri-state is dipping into the 40's already. This Columbus day weekend will be a big contrast compared to last year.

Columbus Day Weekend 2011:
Saturday Oct. 8th: Sunny - High: 78°F Low: 49°F
Sunday Oct. 9th: Sunny - High: 85°F Low: 55°F

Record low temperatures are in jeopardy tonight, even some of the long term records may fall tonight as a recording breaking cold snap comes through tonight into tomorrow. NWS has us down to 36°F for tonight. One thing that will set Long Island back is the winds. Winds will be North at 5 to mph off the Long Island Sound which should keep all of LI above freezing if the winds don't lighten up. If the winds do lighten up, then the Pine Barrens should drop below freezing and the rest should still stay above freezing. Here's a map of my forecast lows for tonight.

Key:
Green: Mid 40's
Light Green: Low 40's
Light Blue: Mid to Upper 30's
Moderate Blue: Upper 20's to Low 30's
Dark Blue: Low 20's to Upper 20's

It's colder in Florida than it is here! In fact, all of the southeast is colder than it is here, with the exception of Southern Florida and extreme Southern Texas. :happy:

... Dense fog advisory in effect until 9 am EDT this morning...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a dense fog
advisory... which is in effect until 9 am EDT this morning.

* Locations... northeast New Jersey... most of the lower Hudson
Valley and Long Island... southern New York City.

* Hazards... reduced visibilities.

* Visibilities... one-quarter mile or less.

* Timing... through 9 am.

* Impacts... reduced visibilities will make driving hazardous.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be
reduced to one quarter mile or less. If driving... slow down... use
your low beam headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of
you in case a sudden stop is needed.

Wow! Never thought we would see this towards the end of October/ early November! As the tropical system makes it's approach to New England, it should transition into a cold core then weaken. Either way it's going to be very strong. GFS has this storm down to 962mb for it's strongest approach to New England. Still far out but it should be interesting what the models do with this storm. ECMWF also has a similar track to the GFS.

Edit: Model Fantasy Land Predictions:
Long Island:
Winds: ENE 50-70mph G to 100mph
Precip: 1/2' to 2' of rain (That's not inches, that's feet)

Obviously this should change, but it's odd that most of reliable global models have similar tracks and strengths.

80 mph for elevated roadways and elevated buildings... especially
Monday afternoon and night.

* Timing... Monday morning through Tuesday afternoon. Strongest
winds are expected Monday afternoon and night.

* Impacts... a significant threat to life and property exists.
Prepare for the possibility of moderate wind damage. Winds will
be capable of Downing trees and snapping off large tree
branches. Power outages could last at least several days. Debris
will block some roads. Minor structural damage to buildings and
homes is possible. Windows in high rise buildings could be
broken by flying debris.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Now is the time to begin preparing your home or business
according to your disaster plan. Listen for possible warnings and
be ready to evacuate if necessary. Heed the advice of local

From NWS forecast discussion:

SANDY APPEARS TO BE GETTING READY TO TURN TOWARD THE NW IN
RESPONSE TO INCREASING UPSTREAM BLOCKING AS AN UPPER HIGH BUILDS
WESTWARD INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...AND AS THE STORM FIRST
UNDERGOES FUJIWARA INTERACTION WITH AND THEN MERGES WITH A DIGGING
CLOSED LOW TO ITS WEST. THIS INFUSION OF BAROCLINIC ENERGY WILL
ENABLE SANDY TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE IN INTENSITY...TRANSFORMING
INTO A SEVERE POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE AND MAKING LANDFALL ON THE
CENTRAL OR SOUTHERN NJ COAST EARLY THIS EVENING. THE ALREADY LARGE
WIND FIELD AROUND SANDY SHOULD EXPAND AND INTENSIFY TODAY...WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 35-45 MPH EXPECTED BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON...AND 40-55 MPH THIS EVENING. ALL NWP IN PRETTY CLOSE
AGREEMENT ON DEVELOPMENT AND PLACEMENT OF A BAND OF VERY STRONG
925 MB WINDS OF 70-90 KT TO THE NORTH OF THE CYCLONE BY LATE
AFTERNOON OVER OUR CWA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS COASTAL SECTIONS.
A SHALLOW MIXED LAYER BELOW THAT...IN COMBINATION WITH POSSIBLE
GRAVITY WAVE DUCTING JUST NORTH OF A WARM FRONT DEVELOPING TO THE
NORTHEAST OF SANDY...COULD ALLOW A LARGE PORTION OF THESE STRONG
WINDS TO MIX DOWN...ESPECIALLY IN HEAVIER RAIN...SO AT LEAST
OCCASIONAL GUSTS 60-75 MPH EXPECTED IN NE-E FLOW DURING MID TO
LATE AFTERNOON BEFORE THE STORM MAKES LANDFALL.

OF EVEN GREATER CONCERN IS A SECOND BAND OF FCST 925 MB WINDS OF
SIMILAR STRENGTH ON THE SE FLANK OF THE CYCLONE THAT SHOULD ROTATE
UP INTO THE CWA DURING AND JUST AFTER LANDFALL THIS
EVENING...INITIALLY IMPACTING SOUTHERN CT AND LONG ISLAND...THEN
TRANSLATING WESTWARD INTO NYC METRO AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY.
STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN THIS QUADRANT OF THE STORM
AS CAA BEGINS JUST OFF THE DECK...BUT AS LOW LEVEL WAA
CONTINUES...SHOULD LEAD TO EVEN MORE EFFICIENT MOMENTUM
TRANSFER...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED ALONG THE SOUTH
SHORES OF LONG ISLAND AND CT WHERE WINDS COULD GUST 80 TO PERHAPS
90 MPH. THERE MAY BE A LOW END TORNADO THREAT ACROSS EASTERN
CT/LONG ISLAND DURING THIS TIME VIA STRONG LOW LEVEL HELICITY AND
DEVELOPMENT OF MARGINAL LOW LEVEL CAPE...NOT ENOUGH FOR THUNDER

... Occasional damaging wind gusts of 70-90 mph expected across the
New York City metropolitan area... Long Island... and southern
Connecticut... through 8 PM...

National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated winds up to 110 mph
between 1500 and 3000 feet. Some of these very strong... damaging
winds will occasionally reach the surface... producing gusts of
70-90 mph across the New York City metropolitan area... Long
Island... and southern Connecticut through 8 PM. The gusts to these
levels will be more frequent over southeastern Connecticut and
Long Island than over the New York City Metro area.

Gusts of this magnitude will down numerous trees... including large
ones. High rise buildings are also susceptible to damage with
these gusts. Persons are urged to remain sheltered in a sturdy

The following message is transmitted at the request of the centers
for disease control and prevention (cdc):

In the wake of Sandy... it is important for citizens to remember
the following information to protect your life and health and that
of your family:

* drink clean... safe water and eat safe... uncontaminated food

* keep generators outside at least 25 ft from doors... windows and
vents

* do not grill inside your home... the fumes can kill

* never touch a downed power line or anything touching one

* use 1 cup of bleach for each gallon of water to remove mold

* never mix bleach and ammonia... the fumes can kill

* washing your hands prevents illness

* seek help if having trouble coping

For more life saving health related information call the cdc at
800-232-4636... tty 888-232-6348. Http://emergency.Cdc.Gov/disasters/ (http://Http://emergency.Cdc.Gov/disasters/)

... Chilly temperatures expected tonight...

A chilly airmass will begin to overspread the region tonight. Low
temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 30s tonight. Those
without power should prepare for a cold night. Contact your local

AFTER A LOOK AT ALL THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OCCURRING SOMEWHERE OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC. GGEM AND ECMWF ALSO SUPPORT THIS...WITH MODELS BEGINNING
TO COME TOGETHER ON A TRACK. HOWEVER...IT IS STILL HARD TO PINPOINT
EXACT FORECAST DETAILS AT THIS TIME DUE TO TIMING/POSITIONAL
DIFFERENCES...BUT CONFIDENCE IS GROWING FOR A POTENTIAL HEAVY
RAIN/MIXED PRECIP AND HIGH/STRONG WIND EVENT.

COASTAL FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION IS A CONCERN. PLEASE SEE THE
TIDES AND COASTAL FLOODING SECTION.

STRONG...GUSTY WINDS ARE BECOMING MORE LIKELY. SUSTAINED SPEEDS
RANGING BETWEEN 20-35 MPH WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 45 TO 60 MPH IS A
DEFINITE POSSIBILITY. HIGHEST WINDS WILL BE AT THE COAST AND IN
HIGHER TERRAIN.

Areas of fog will persist through the first half of this evening
ahead of an approaching cold front. Visibilities will be around one
mile in many locations... with a few locations under one-half mile
at times.

If you plan to travel this evening... be on the alert for locally
dense fog and rapidly changing visibilities.

Conditions will improve late tonight when a gusty northwest flow
develops behind a cold frontal passage.

year on record. The previous record was 57.2 degrees... recorded in
the years of 1990... 1991 and 1998. Records for Central Park date
back to 1869.

A Sample of other first order climate locations reveals they also
came in with record breaking warmth. Here is that data.

Average temperature records and normals from 2012:

I feel pretty confident that Monday will be in the low 60's. Once we have the FROPA, clouds will open up to sun winds will be NW and since the cold air won't be directly behind the front, we have a very good chance a 60's on Monday. 12z ECMWF agrees (shown below). Doubt we'll break the record of 67°F set in 1995.

A strong cold front will cross the region this afternoon. The
passage of the front will be marked by a wind shift from gusty
southwest winds to a period of strong westerly winds. Winds of 20
to 30 mph and gusts of 30 to 40 mph are expected in the wake of
the frontal passage... with a few higher gusts possible right
behind the front.

Winds this strong are capable of Downing a few small tree limbs
and branches... possibly causing isolated power outages. Driving
can also be difficult... especially for high profile vehicles.

... Cold snap will continue through at least Friday...

The current stretch of cold weather... with temperatures 10 to 15
degrees below mid winter averages... will continue into at least
Friday as an upper level disturbance passing through tonight
brings a reinforcing shot of Arctic air. Lows both tonight and
Thursday night should fall to 10 to 15 in and around New York
City... and into the single digits most elsewhere. Isolated spots
in the valleys well north and west of New York City... and possibly
also the Long Island Pine barrens region... could see temperatures
around zero.

As winds diminish tonight... below zero wind chills are not
expected. However... as northwest winds increase to 10 to 20
mph... wind chills should drop to zero to 10 below zero from just
before daybreak to around midday on Thursday. Similar wind chills
should occur Thursday night.

Arctic air will remain in place Friday into Friday night as low
pressure passes off to the southeast and brings some light snow.
Slow moderation in temperatures and wind chills should then begin
over the weekend into early next week in the wake of this system.

Significant impacts that warrant extra caution during this cold
snap include the potential for frozen water pipes and fire
sprinkler piping. For those venturing out... wear a warm coat and

Lows around the area:

My station: 10.1°F
KISP: 6°F
Westhampton: -6°F
Farmingdale: 8°F
Central Park: 12°F

Sucks that I didn't make it into the single digits last night. NWS has me at 12 tonight. Ugh..

Talk about a superstorm. 18z GFS shows a strong storm coming up the east coast, inland though, at hr 153. There has been a consistency with the GFS showing a very heavy convective band with this storm, possibly severe thunderstorms. The line moves north and doesn't weaken. Obviously this will change greatly, nice fantasy storm though. Here are some of the stats for KISP:

Total QPF: 2.68"
Highest Sustained Wind: S @ 45mph
925mb Winds: 107mph!
850mb Winds: 110mph!
Min Press.: 985mb

With that line of heavy convective precip, we would be able to mix down some intense winds. I haven't seen 925mb winds that strong since Sandy. With this storm, verbatim, we're talking about gusts 60-90mph!

ACCUMULATING LIGHT TO OCCASIONAL MODERATE SNOW WILL PUSH NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ACCUMULATION
TOTALS WILL RANGE AROUND 1 INCH OVER NEW YORK CITY METRO...HUDSON
RIVER VALLEY...AND WESTERN LONG ISLAND...TO 2 INCHES OVER
SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT AND EASTERN LONG ISLAND.

IN ADDITION TO THE ACCUMULATING SNOW...REDUCED VISIBILITIES ARE
POSSIBLE...DROPPING DOWN TO BETWEEN 1 AND 2 MILES AT TIMES.

THE COMBINATION OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES
WILL CAUSE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS DURING THE EVENING
COMMUTE. PLEASE DRIVE WITH CAUTION AS ROADS MAY BECOME
SLIPPERY...AND VISIBILITIES MAY SUDDENLY DIMINISH.

Think the winds will be stronger.

... High wind watch in effect from Wednesday evening through late
Wednesday night...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a high wind
watch... which is in effect from Wednesday evening through late
Wednesday night.

* Locations... southern Connecticut... Long Island... New York City
and neighboring portions of Westchester County and northeast New
Jersey.

* Hazards... damaging wind gusts.

* Winds... south 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.

* Timing... Wednesday night... especially from late evening into the
overnight.

* Impacts... these strong winds... in combination with heavy
rain... could bring down whole trees... large tree limbs... power
lines and unsecured outdoor objects. This could pose a hazard to
anyone out driving or walking Wednesday night... and to houses
and other structures near larger trees.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. Gusts of 58 mph or stronger may occur. Continue
to monitor the latest forecasts.

NWS zone forecast for tonight for my area:

Showers in the evening...then showers with isolated thunderstorms after midnight. Widespread fog in the evening. Locally heavy rainfall possible after midnight. Very windy with lows in the upper 40s. South winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 55 mph... increasing to 30 to 35 mph with gusts up to 65 mph after midnight. chance of rain near 100 percent.

The models have been consistent with 60-80mph wind gusts tonight:

With heavy enough precip, I'm sure these gusts will come to fruition.

Upton says thunder is possible. Some reports of Thundersnow have already happened.

Snow and sleet, becoming all snow after 9pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 24. Windy, with a north wind 26 to 31 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of 8 to 12 inches possible.

Post by: TWCCraig on February 08, 2013, 09:21:11 PM

National Weather Service Doppler radar and observations indicate
a large band of precipitation over the area... producing a mixture
of snow... sleet and rain. Temperatures in some locations are below
freezing and any rain that is falling here is freezing on contact
resulting in treacherous conditions. Precipitation is expected to
transition between a wintry mix and all snow through 11 PM. In
areas of all snow... snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour with
near zero visibility are expected to occur. A few rumbles of
thunder are also possible. In addition... windy conditions with
gusts between 40 and 50 mph will lead to dangerous travel
conditions.

Travel is not recommended and should be avoided if possible. Those
that must travel should do so with extreme caution.

February 2013 was the snowiest February on record here. Islip had a lot more than I did this month due to the immense gradient from the Blizzard of 2013. Also the first time since January 2011 where we had a month with no 50F+ days.

This storm really sucked here. My town was in the screwzone. Places just 1,2,3 miles north of here have snow on the ground, not us. We had 2.8" on the ground as of 10:00am this morning, now all melted and gone. Now at 32.8" on the season, places 5-10 miles north of me are around 45" on the season. a few miles can make a world of difference. That's what I get for being in the warmer part of the island. Long Island climatology sucks!

That time of the year again. Except this year our precip is running only slightly below normal.

... Enhanced threat for the spread of wildfires late this morning
into early this evening...

Limited rainfall over the last several days... combined with
frequent wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph and low relative humidity
values today... will allow fine fuels such as grasses and brush to
continue drying. These factors will create an enhanced threat for
the spread of wildfires late this morning into early this evening.

and wildfire prevention and education please visit your state
forestry or environmental protection website.

...RECORD DAILY MINIMUM TEMPERATURE SET AT ISLIP NY...

A RECORD MINIMUM TEMPERATURE WAS SET AT ISLIP NY THIS MORNING. THE
LOW OF 28 DEGREES SET AT 6:41 AM BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 29

Low surface relative humidities of 25 to 35 percent and northwest
winds gusting up to 25 mph at times will allow fine fuels such
as grasses and brush to continue drying.

These factors will create an enhanced threat for the spread of
wildfires from mid afternoon into early this evening.

For more information about wildfire danger... burn restrictions
and wildfire prevention and education please visit your state
forestry or environmental protection website.

... Elevated risk of wildfire spread through early evening...

Southerly winds will increase today ahead of an approaching cold
front. Wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph will develop late this
morning and last until this evening.

Relative humidity values will drop into the mid to upper 30s across
interior areas... while remaining in the 40s along the coast.
Despite the slightly higher rh values than previous days... dry
conditions remain in place over the region... allowing for fine
fuels such as grasses and brush to continue drying.

These factors will create an enhanced threat for the spread of
wildfires for late this morning into this evening.

For more information about wildfire danger... burn restrictions
and wildfire prevention and education please visit your state
forestry or environmental protection website.

Will have the second driest April on record (Islip) and will be 3rd driest for Central Park. The past two years have had very inactive and dry springs. Models literally have no precip for the next 12 days with almost 0% cloud cover everyday. The soil is going to loose a ton of moisture. Might slip into D1 drought.

Title: Re: Long Island Weather

1004 PM EDT Wed may 8 2013

The combination of light winds and high moisture levels has
resulted in the formation of fog across eastern Long Island and
coastal Connecticut. Visibilities mostly range from 1/2 mile to 2
miles... with patchy dense fog reducing visibility to 1/4 mile or
less in spots.

The fog is expected to remain overnight with some improvement once showers
move into the area around or shortly after daybreak Thursday morning.

Motorists should exercise caution while driving tonight... use low
beam headlights and slow down.

... Flash Flood Watch in effect from Friday morning through
Saturday afternoon...

The National Weather Service in New York has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of southern Connecticut...
northeast New Jersey and southeast New York... including the
following areas... in southern Connecticut... northern
Fairfield... northern Middlesex... northern New Haven... northern
New London... southern Fairfield... southern Middlesex...
southern New Haven and southern New London. In northeast New
Jersey... eastern Bergen... eastern Essex... eastern Passaic...

Bronx... Kings (Brooklyn)... New York (Manhattan)... northeastern
Suffolk... northern Nassau... northern Queens... northern
Westchester... northwestern Suffolk... Orange... Putnam...
Richmond (staten island)... Rockland... southeastern Suffolk...
southern Nassau... southern Queens... southern Westchester and
southwestern Suffolk.

* From Friday morning through Saturday afternoon.

* The remnants of tropical system Andrea... combined with a system
moving in from the west will bring widespread rain across the
tri state area beginning late tonight and lasting until
Saturday. Rainfall amounts between 2 and 4 inches are
forecasted... with the heaviest rain expected Friday afternoon
through early Saturday morning. Maximum hourly rates could reach
between 1 and 2 inches.

* These rainfall amounts could lead to flash flooding of urban and
poor drainage areas... as well as small stream flash flooding.
Main stream rivers should remain within their banks. It should
be stressed that while we are expecting a prolonged period of
rainfall... the main concern during this time period will be
flashy responses across the urban areas and small streams.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.

Queens County in southeast New York...
Nassau County in southeast New York...
Suffolk County in southeast New York...
New York (Manhattan) County in southeast New York...
Bronx County in southeast New York...
Kings (Brooklyn) County in southeast New York...

* until 715 PM EDT...

* at 407 PM EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated

estimated to move across portions of NYC and Long Island between 430
PM and 600 PM. Rainfall rates are estimated to be ranging between 1
1 1/2 and 2 1/2 inches per hour. This is expected to cause flash

creeks and streams... urban areas... highways... streets and underpasses
as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.

* Urban Flood Advisory for minor flooding of poor drainage areas
in...
Kings (Brooklyn) County in southeast New York...
Bronx County in southeast New York...
New York (Manhattan) County in southeast New York...
Suffolk County in southeast New York...
Nassau County in southeast New York...
Queens County in southeast New York...

* until 930 PM EDT...

* at 737 PM EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
heavy showers and thunderstorms moving across portions of northeast
New Jersey and into New York City. These were moving east at around
30 mph and will be moving across western Long Island through 930 PM.
These contain rain rates of up to 1 inch per hour. Excessive runoff
from this storm will cause minor flooding of urban
areas... highways... streets and underpasses as well as other drainage
areas and low lying spots.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Minor flooding means that although streams and creeks may rise out of
their banks... property damage will be minimal. Inconveniences can be
expected but the flooding will not be immediately life threatening.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. Most flooding deaths occur in automobiles. Turn around and
find another Route.

Be prepared to take action if the flooding threat increases... or a
warning is issued.

southern Nassau... southern Queens... southern Westchester and
southwestern Suffolk.

* From Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon

* a slow moving low pressure system will track north from the Ohio
Valley into the St Lawrence River valley Thursday afternoon into
Friday. Heavy showers and thunderstorms will become increasingly
likely Thursday afternoon into Thursday night as this system
interacts with a moist and unstable airmass over the area. This
activity will continue into Friday.

* This setup is conducive to bands of heavy rain showers and
thunderstorms training over the same area. Localized rainfall
rates could exceed 2 inches in an hour if thunderstorms train
over the same area for an hour... which would cause Urban and
Small Stream flash flooding.

* Overall 1 to 2 inches of rainfall are expected across the area
Thursday into Friday... with higher amounts in the path of
training activity. This will likely cause marked rises on main
Stem rivers... but they are expected to remain within their
banks.

* Additional bouts of heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible
this weekend into early next week... which may prolong the threat
for flooding.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.

A dry air mass will combine with increasing west winds and very
dry fuels to create conditions more conducive for fire spread into
early afternoon.

Relative humidities will to decrease to 30 to 35 percent percent
during this time... while wind gusts increase to 20 to 25 mph...
especially in and around New York City. These conditions will
likely aid fire growth if ignition occurs.

Dry and mostly clear night on tap tonight as high pressure remains
over the area. After a stretch of above normal lows... overnight
temperatures will drop to near normal values... upper 30s in far
outlying areas into the middle 50s near New York City.

Sunny skies will give way to more clouds through the day Saturday as
a low pressure system approaches. Highs will be near normal... middle
to upper 60s. Rain chances are introduced by Saturday evening and
increase through Sunday morning. All rain showers should end by late
Sunday morning with high pressure building in behind it. Lows will
be near normal... middle 40s to middle 50s.

Dry weather is expected on Sunday with highs in the lower to middle

Well, what can I say. 1 year already, remember as if it were yesterday. No storm will I ever get as hyped for ever again. The anticipation, the hype, as a weather enthusiast, it's a once in a life time experience. Several days before, the ECMWF, the most accurate computer model, predicted that Sandy would make a left turn somewhere in the northeast/mid-atlantic. My excitement grew, everyday I was spending countless hours running through computer models, reading and posting on weather forums. On Oct 29th, little did we know that this is was going to be the storm of our life times. We lost power early, only around 1:30PM. Winds at the time were only gusting 50-60mph, which we normally don't loose power in. All we had a radio and our smartphones. I tried reading the special weather statements, but by 4-5PM most of the cell towers lost power. Never will I forget reading the statement saying the worst winds are yet to come, with 70-90mph winds forecasted over the next few hours. Listening to the radio was insane. Hearing the wind reports, hearing what was happening elsewhere it was just mind blowing. To hear that some areas were completely wiped off the map, ground zero was filling up with water, tunnels were flooded, subways were flooded. Hearing that on the radio is just...words cant even describe. The point at which you realize the scope of devastation of this storm. Having no school for weeks, no power for days, people loosing their homes, everything, and to know that this happened to people you see everyday. Wow. Though the devastation was horrid, if we could have a Sandy like storm happen again without all the damage and destruction, I'd be all in for it. I'd even pay for it. You walk outside your house at night, it's pitch black, moon lit skies, the sound of generators running chainsaws running. Stand on busy road and look down miles into darkness. Looking at a highway and not seeing one light. I'll probably never get to experience a storm like this again.

... Windy and dry airmass will enhance brush fire spread today...

Despite the fact that most of the area received light rain
yesterday... smaller wildland fuels... such as grasses and brush
remain very dry. A dry air mass... ushered in on increasing northwest
winds will drive relative humidity values down into the 30 percent
range today. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph.

This combination of weather conditions... along with the dry
landscape will cause an enhanced spread of brush fires... if there
was ignition.

A strong cold front will push through the tri-state area
tonight... quickly dropping temperatures in the wake. Light rain
showers are expected to form around midnight tonight over areas
west and north of NYC Metro area... with the precipitation pushing
south and east through the early morning hours. As the colder
temperatures move in behind the front... a transition to a
rain/snow mix or even all snow is expected... generally during the
period of the morning commute between 4 and 10 am.

While minimal accumulation is forecasted... mainly half an inch or
less across the area... the precipitation may still result in
slippery Road conditions and reduced visibilities.

A strong... quick moving cold front is forecast to move across the
tri-state region early Monday morning. This front is expected to
bring a narrow line of showers and thunderstorms capable of
producing localized damaging wind gusts. Much of the area will
see gusty winds develop after midnight with gusts of 30 to 40
mph... with the highest gusts coming along and just ahead of the
cold front.

This front is expected to impact the lower Hudson Valley and
northeast New Jersey between 3 and 5 am... and then from New York
City and points east between 5 and 9 am.

Behind the front... gusty west winds will continue through much of
Monday.

Title: Re: Long Island Weather

... Dry weather will enhance brush fire spread today...

North winds at 10-15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph until noon will
gradually veer to the northeast and decrease this afternoon.

Humidities will decrease and range from 25 to 35 percent this
afternoon as a very dry Canadian air mass moves across the region.

The combination of low humidities... winds and available fine fuels...
will cause an enhanced spread of brush fires... if ignited... through
today.

While there was some light rainfall across the region in the last
24 hours... conditions will dry out quickly this afternoon.

This combined with extremely dry fuels... gusty northwest winds
up to 25 mph... and relative humidity values of 30 to 35 percent

to produce heavy rainfall mainly from late tonight into
Wednesday morning.

* Rainfall of 2 to 3 inches... with local amounts of up to 4 inches
in and near the higher terrain north and west of New York
City... is likely to cause significant urban... low lying and poor
drainage flooding at a time when many Holiday travelers may
already be heading to their destinations. Many small streams
will approach bank full... and some may experience minor
flooding.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be
alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to
flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.

This is absolutely absurd. 850mb temps right now are around 17C, which is above normal, EVEN IF THIS WAS JULY! If we were able to completely mix down from 850mb, our temps would be in the mid 80's! Central Park hit 68 degrees this morning, smashing the record, BEFORE THE SUN EVEN CAME UP. I'm sorry, but this is sickening how bad the climate has gotten.

Wow!

NYC Sets Winter Record High Minimum Temperature…

New York City had a low temperature of 61° on December 22, 2013. That is the first time during meteorological or astronomical winter that the temperature did not fall below 60°. The low temperature was 3.628σ above the normal low temperature for the date (1981-2010 baseline). The old record high minimum temperature during either meteorological or astronomical winter was 59°, which was achieved on January 4, 1950 and December 4, 1998.

The previous latest 60° or above low temperature before meteorological and astronomical winter had occurred on November 27, 1896 (60°). The previous earliest 60° or above low temperature after meteorological or astronomical winter had occurred on March 25, 1913 (61°).

New York City’s records go back to 1869.

At 613 PM EST...the National Weather Service was tracking a line of
snow squalls extending from Poughkeepsie NY to Caldwell New
Jersey...moving southeast at 25 mph. Brief whiteout conditions and
snow accumulations of up to 1/2 inch have been reported with
this activity.

The snow will be briefly heavy...with wind gusts up to 30 mph...and
visibilities of 1/4 mile or less. Less than an inch of snow is
expected...but temperatures will rapidly fall below freezing causing
any wet snow and slush to quickly refreeze.

Anyone traveling into this evening is urged to use extra caution.

... Band of heavy snow moving into Long Island...

At 1045 PM National Weather Service Doppler radar showed a band of
heavy snow moving off the central New Jersey coast and headed for
Nassau and Suffolk counties. The band should reach the South Shore
of Long Island by 1130 PM and overspread mainly southern Nassau
and most of Suffolk County through 1 am. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2
inches per hour are expected with this band. With locally higher
amounts possible in the core of the band. Near white conditions
are likely at times with this band. Persons are urged to stay home
and avoid travel during this time.

WIDESPREAD HEAVY SNOW HAS ENDED...BUT THERE WILL BE SOME
LINGERING SOUND-EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS SUFFOLK COUNTY INTO
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR SO OF ACCUMULATION IS
POSSIBLE.

IN ADDITION...THE COMBINATION OF TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM 10 TO
15 DEGREES WITH NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO
AS HIGH AS 40 MPH WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILL VALUES RANGING FROM 0

HYPOTHERMIA FOR ANYONE EXPOSED TO THE COLD.

... Sub-zero wind chills tonight through Friday morning...
... Very cold through Friday night...

Wind chills tonight through Friday morning will range from five
below to as low as 15 below due to the combination of west winds 5
to 10 mph and temperatures in the single digits to as low as 5
below.

High temperatures will only top off in the mid teens on Friday.

Slight moderation is expected for Saturday... with temperatures
from the mid 20s well inland... to the lower and mid 30s across
Long Island and coastal Connecticut.

Prolonged exposure to the cold and wind could lead to frostbite
and hypothermia. If you venture outdoors... make sure you wear a
hat and gloves.

The prolonged cold can also lead to additional health hazards such
as exposure to fumes from poorly ventilated emergency
generators... and property damage such as frozen and bursting
water pipes including those of fire sprinkler systems... and fires
from improperly used heaters. Be weather ready and visit the
National Weather Service web site at weather.Gov for winter
weather safety tips.

Light to occasionally moderate snow will overspread the tri-state
region from west to east this evening. The snow will reduce
visibilities to around a half mile at times. A widespread one to
two inches of accumulation can be expected. The snow will come to
an end late tonight. Use extra caution if traveling this evening.

... Potential for rapid fire spread today...

The combination of westerly winds of 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to
30 mph... humidity levels dropping into the lower 30s and dry fine
fuels has resulted in conditions that are favorable for the spread
of brush fires... should such fires develop.

Residents should keep vehicles out of grassy areas and ensure
proper disposal of any smoking materials. It only takes a
carelessly disposed cigarette to ignite a fire.

If you spot a fire... please report it to authorities immediately.

* Winds... northwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.

* Impacts... isolated to scattered power outages as weak trees

... Enhanced risk of fire spread this afternoon...

Despite recent rainfall... the combination of northwesterly winds
of 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph and relative humidity levels
dropping into the 20s this afternoon will act to quickly dry fine
fuels this afternoon. This will result in conditions favorable for
the rapid spread of brush fires. Fortunately... larger fuels are
still moist enough though that there will be limited spread into
them.

If you spot a fire or smoke plume... please report it to the
authorities immediately.

...Enhanced risk of fire spread today...

The combination of low relative humidity levels and increasing northerly flow today will result in conditions favorable for the rapid spread of brush fires.

Relative humidities will be lowest this afternoon...dropping into the 20s across the area. Winds will be light this morning... increasing this afternoon to 10 to 15 mph with 20 to 25 mph gusts.

The risk will diminish by this evening as relative humidities increase and the winds begin to diminish.

If you spot a fire or smoke plume...please report it to the authorities immediately.
