Yup, A SW or South flow benefits them for warmth while Long Island and southeastern CT has water SW & South of them.

I'm at 77 but the humidity is noticeable and the house is stuffy so I got the A/C on.

More lightning than there was this time yesterday, that's for sure. More sun out ahead of it, too.

Decided to split some wood before the storms get closer.

Moving a 700 pound log is not easy. Had lift and maneuver onto the plate of the machine so it can do its thing.

Dewpoint 65° I was dripping in no time. Good work out. I hate to stay still but have to be in A/C to recharge myself now.



Looking at the radar, looks like warnings are out in Western NY. Still about 2 hours away from me.

I also took advantage of it being cloudy here in the CT panhandle.

^^ Told you high DPs fuels storms lol jk.



Today it's dry by our standards. Dew Point is only 64 F (18 C) right now. Temperature is 86 F (30 C). Doesn't really feel noticeably dry, but doesn't feel humid either.

By time that line gets here the sun will be setting and so we lose that instability. We'll see if that line holds.

Storms always seem to get here after 4pm. Always in PA in the afternoon.

lol, of course it does but its not all about them today. Shortwave coming through. As I said, we get storms with low dewpoints and so does the rest of the country.

Jeez do we need some hefty thunderstorms now with a lot of soaking rain. Getting so dry around here.

It's a large band slowly moving eastward rather than localized convection. But we wouldn't have gotten the band if it weren't for the high dew point.

2 back to back days in the 90's in may, a record ?

Lack of rain is killing my plants .

?? Wha? How do you figure? That's like saying we don't get these fronts/short waves/bands coming across with dewpoints below 50. Far from the truth. Dew points nothing to do with todays rain/storms.

Today is about the Low Level Jet, Instability (because of surface heating) and a cold front pushing across. It's a front guys.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
220 PM EDT WED MAY 27 2015

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT

BIG QUESTION IS HOW FAR AND HOW STRONG THESE STORMS WILL SURVIVE INTO THE MARINE LAYER IN PLACE OVER NYC...LONG ISLAND AND MOST OF SRN CT.
