Surfers on Long Island today took advantage of the massive high tide created by the effects of tropical storm Hanna. The National Weather Service's High Surf Advisory was only an invitation for adventure-seekers who braved waves as high as 10 feet this morning. Surfers drove for upwards of 100 miles to join up with the surfing community at Gilgo Beach and hang ten on what they called "the best surf in years." Serious surfers have been tracking the storms all week and let out the expected cry for what's next: "Bring on Ike!" more ›

The good news about Tropical Storm Hanna: No major damage was reported. The bad new: She dumped "a month's worth of rain within hours"--more than three inches that flooded buildings and highways, delayed flights and put the U.S. Open on pause. The Post has a photograph of a city bus trudging "through the flood waters" and also reports that Ninth Street in Carroll Gardens was "a lake." Northeastern NJ and Long Island got around 6 inches of rain, and power outages hit residents on L.I. and in Westchester County. Luckily, CBS 2 meteorologist Elise Finch predicts, "We are going to have a beautiful Sunday, a nice end to the weekend." more ›

And you may ask yourself where is that terrible wind. And you may ask yourself how much rain will fall. And you may ask yourself when it will get here. As the day goes by Hanna will be in town. The storm made landfall late over North Carolina last night, is now centered over Chesapeake Bay, and is zipping up the coast. Rain ahead of the storm center extends into eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey and should arrive in the city this afternoon. more ›

If you have tickets to today's Mets-Phillies game, don't bother heading out to Shea Stadium. The impending arrival of Tropical Storm Hanna has pushed today's game to Sunday at 2:15PM, part of a day-night doubleheader. Tickets for today's game will be honored for the day game. The night game was previously scheduled for an 8:05PM start for ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball. Today's postponement gives Jamie Moyer and Pedro Martinez an extra day's rest before they face off in the first game tomorrow. Last night, the Phillies beat the Mets 3-0. more ›

So, Tropical Storm Hanna is on her way, and the NYC metro area is making sure it's ready. more ›

September is National Preparedness Month. Are you ready for tropical storm Hanna? While today is an enjoyably warm and sunny September day, tomorrow will be anything but. Today's high should be in the breezy, humid mid-80s. Clouds should arrive this evening and rain should follow, perhaps as early as midnight tonight. more ›

The weather forecast for today and tomorrow is relatively straightforward but the crystal ball gets all sorts of cloudy beginning Friday. A coastal low off of New England may trigger a few isolated showers this afternoon and evening. Otherwise expect a mix of sun and clouds with a high in the mid 80s. Clouds will give way to sun tomorrow and the thermometer will make a valiant effort to reach 90. Unseasonably warm weather will continue into Friday, when the high will again reach the upper 80s. more ›

Not much happening in New York City weather today, or much of this week for that matter. A high pressure system parked upstate should keep things sunny, warm and dry through Thursday. Expect highs in the mid 80s each day. Wear plenty of sunscreen if you're going out to the West Indian American Day parade today. Next weekend we may need to concern ourselves with Tropical Storm Hanna. more ›

Kind of a half-assed weather day today. There's enough moisture and an upper-level disturbance to produce a thick layer of clouds, but not enough of a disturbance to wring some of that moisture out of the atmosphere. So, we're looking at overcast skies that will keep the temperature down in the mid 70s this afternoon. There may be a sprinkle or two today, but any real chance of rain will have to wait until tomorrow. more ›
