ag3 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yesterday was only a -2 at NYC and a +1 at JFK. ISP was +3. We are so used to crazy heat that we now think that 81-83 degrees is cool. Today, the NYC area will top out at 78-81 degrees. That's slightly below average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Definitely does look like smoke to me. Sunny with a milky white backdrop. Last time I remember a smoke filled sky was my trip to Newport RI back in August of 2003 from the Canadian fires.in 2002 it looked like fog in the NYC area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Canadian, Euro, and increasingly the GFS are making Saturday wetter. I'm hesitant to say "washout" right now because it's still 4 days away, but the weekend doesn't look great for outdoor plans due to the front being hung up near the coast and ridge retrograding west. Sunday looks to have a lot of showers/storms around as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Quite a bit of cloudiness today so only made it up to 77 here. Yeah surprised at how cloudy its been despite a 'sunny'/mostly sunny forecast. Still made it up to the upper 70s though.

Today, the NYC area will top out at 78-81 degrees. That's slightly below average. I think most topped out in the 70s though I need confirmation and the lows are going to be quite a bit below normal so it's fairly solid. This time of year it's usually the dews we look at then the temps themselves and those are unusually low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The instability clouds yielded a cooler than progged day. Only made it to 75.1F here today, pretty impressive for late July. Averages in the mid 80s. Feels too September-like for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year it's usually the dews we look at then the temps themselves and those are unusually low. NYC's 76/64 is -7 for the day (averages are 84/69). So as cool as it is its only a -5 for the overnight low. Most locations have now dropped below normal for the month to date by a tenth or two of a degree but still will end up about as average a July as one can get.

IsentropicLift Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yanksfan should be all over it ;-) I'm not sold on a wet period yet. The 12z Euro mean was centered south of Long Island with the convective wave on Saturday, then has a mostly dry Sunday, especially west. The globals today seem to be correcting east a bit with the WAR and if that continues the wave might miss OTS. I would agree that potenital currently exists for a period of heavy rain sometime between Friday night and Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the WAR-if it's further east, many may be fairly dry both days...it mostly comes down to that IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high res Euro clears us out be early afternoon on Saturday. Sunday looks like typical hit or miss showers and storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 What are temps like on the Euro both days? Euro tops out around 70 on Saturday. 60's for SNE. That seems low since most of the area should clear out early enough to salvage a few hours of sun. Sunday looks like 70's areawide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Cool day has sealed the deal and broke the streak of above normal July's 2010 - 2013. It was a great stretch and a toast to a new streak starting in 15 to those who love summer weather. The summer as a whole is still on the plus side with June's numbers factored in. So it will be up to August to decide if we ride 5 above normal summers and if we can muster any significant heat. With the first 10 days in sight the latest guidance offers only more 'normal'. Some warm humid days with cooler/dryer and cloudy days in between, likely yielding a 0 to +0.5 for the 8/1 - 8/7 period. We'll have to see but again some hints at rising heights on/around 8/9...

pineywoodsli Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I noticed the haze as well. Pretty disappointing since I've been waiting so long for a day with a nice blue sky. Same thing happened last Friday. Today was worse though, and at times the air smelled like burnt areas in the Pine Barrens, probably from the fires all the way in Western Canada. Finally we get some cool dry air and this smoke has to ruin it! The last decent clear day we had here was July 5th! Definitely not the sky you want to capture the beauty of the green trees and blue water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
