Water temperature here in Long Island Sound still in the low 60's F too. Chilly for swimming but, helps knock down the thunderstorms that come off the land.

Being in the middle of a built up area helps however when a storm lingers longer and houses on the fringe get knocked down the high damage path makes it deeper into the developed area damaging more property than previous storms. It's like using a pressure washer where a quick pass cleans things up while staying too long in one spot bores a hole right through.
