Using Islip as a reference point look at pages 28, 35, and 56. 100 year 2 hr rainfall, 100 year 3 hr rainfall and 100 year 24 hr rainfall.

Can you please "follow" the new NJ Strong account I just created? Going to try and use social media a little more to try and bring more attention to the forum. Thanks!

What's twitter? Half joking half not. Lol
It's pretty much what we use these days. Atleast kids my age. Facebook has been out for a couple years now. Twitters great.

I heard that Facebook was "out" amongst the younger crowd. Lol. But it isn't going anywhere because us older folks, age is relative of course, still use it with pride. afro

Also my email is still an aol acct. people have laughed at me for that. Sorry I know this post doesn't really belong here.

Looks like we see some heat today and tomorrow - may hit 90* and we may some more of that 90* weather for Sunday with the possibility of t-storms Sunday night for the last "official" summer weekend.

Notice the cut off as you move towards the coast going from 90 to 80's to upper 70's right on the beach - talk about a onshore more like at shore gradient! Shocked

by **algae888** Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:38 pm

hit 90* in CP today. 5th 90* day of summer. may hit 90 early next week but prob not many more as time is running out.

by **docstox12** Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:42 pm

88 here in Mahwah.Calm wind.Feels like summer again.Brief cooldown Thursday and Friday and back up again.Saw long range next week in mid 80-s here.

by **Dunnzoo** Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:42 pm

Zoo yesterday I registered 89.6* oh so close!!!

Today I hit 92.1* at 2:19 to be exact Laughing

88.3 right now

Dog day of summer today!

Long range euro showing big heat next week midweek- oh just wonderful - in time for school and back to school night Thursday - the last 4 out of 5 years we have broiled in school and then at back to school night.

by **Dtone** Wed Aug 27, 2014 4:58 pm

Reached 92* today. 6th or 7th time for me personally.
So looks like a warm Sept to end what was a mostly pleasant summer?
Probably not much 90s but plenty of 80s

by **HectorO** Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:53 pm

88 as doc said in Mahwah. And it's still summer in my eyes and solstice until the 22nd of September. September is way to crazy of a month to bring up "meteorological fall" bs, lol

by **HectorO** Fri Aug 29, 2014 9:13 am

Chilly this morning 56. Hard to believe that next week will be one of the hottest weeks if not the hottest week of the year. Thank God for yesterday and today, got to keep the air conditioning off and will tonight. Gotta save some money before next week, because it will be cranked up.

by **docstox12** Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:10 am

Noticed that at 5 AM taking out the garbage here in Mahwah, Hector.Very little need for AC this "summer".You're right, next week warms up.

Doc - 80's to maybe 90 and humidity Sunday through next week- looks to be above average for the first two weeks in September from the Euro - just in time for school!! pirat

All I have to say is this has been a great summer weather wise for the cool nights and gorgeous low humidity and sunny days - one of the best in the last 5 years.

Next week is going to be a soup bowl. I have family that lives in Jacksonville FL and I also lived there for a few years with them. Our temps next week will be an exact mirror image of theirs LOL. I don't mind the heat the only part that bothers me is the electric bill in my apartment. At least during the winter, they pay for heat. And you're right from the last 5 years. 09 was a top 5 cool summer recorded.

by **docstox12** Sat Aug 30, 2014 5:46 am

Hey, Mugs, sorry you guys will be sweating starting the new schoolyear.Brings back memories of grade school and high school in the 50's and 60's in ancient buildings without AC.Not fun at all.

Yes, a great summer weatherwise.Rapidly heading into fall now, days getting shorter.

by **amugs** Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:40 pm

All of a sudden we are cloudy at 77* here with a sprinkle just a few minutes ago.

The double HH's return next wee- yuck and it looks to be an unsettled period as well with the chance of showers/rain a few days too.

by **Dtone** Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:50 pm

Most of the afternoon turned out cloudy.

by **Dunnzoo** Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:55 pm

Glad it clouded over, it was getting quite warm and muggy earlier and I'm enjoying the cooler day...but then again, if I was at the beach I'd be a little upset!

by **Quietace** Sun Aug 31, 2014 10:01 am

Hot and humid today.... Mad

by **algae888** Sun Aug 31, 2014 10:26 am

although it will feel uncomfortable this week, it is far from a heat wave. we may not even reach 90 on any day this week. highest forecast temp for my area is 88 on Tuesday.

by **Frank_Wx** Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:51 pm

Heavy downpours coming through now. Thunder likely.

by New Yorker 234 Sun Aug 31, 2014 4:34 pm

Very loud thunder here in midtown. Very dark clouds. Very humid. I wonder if this will just a thunder event with no or little rain?

by New Yorker 234 Sun Aug 31, 2014 4:38 pm

Ah! Here comes the rain.

by **Dtone** Sun Aug 31, 2014 5:46 pm
