# LINY Weather

> Real-time Long Island weather forecast, live Doppler radar, Hamptons weather, weekend outlooks, winter snow storms, nor'easters, and islandwide microclimate telemetry for Suffolk and Nassau Counties, NY.

## Mission & Architecture
LINY Weather is an independent, hyper-local meteorological and maritime command center anchored by hardware Tempest Station #212066 located in Terryville / Port Jefferson Station, NY (40.9126° N, 73.0662° W). The platform integrates real-time ultrasonic anemometer telemetry, haptic precipitation sensors, optical solar radiation, and hardware Franklin lightning detection with NOAA National Weather Service feeds, USGS glacial aquifer well sensors, NYS DEC shellfish runoff advisories, and coastal oceanographic buoy telemetry.
