my hygrometer recorded an 80+ dewpoint yesterday with a 122 HI, but I think that's suspect. I'm guessing my real HI yesterday was more like 115 or a bit less. Right now I'm at 75/74.

Impressive to see HPN at 80° at 6am. White Plains CLEAR 80 75 84 NW5

85 for the low at LGA. .

81° low here. Pretty rare for me to have a 80°+ low... Even with some of the big heat last several years it didn't happen.

Looks like 80 will be the low temp at DCA https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=kdca

The grid is expected to break records today. The record was 165.5 Gigawatt in 2006. Forecast to be 166.2 today. Hopefully it can handle it, and it won't go down.

If I can get some good stuff, I will!

77F/DP 75F at 6:05am *Philly at 79F...won't go below 80F tonight.

Nice light show last night, but only 0.08” 68.6°

81/76 at 5am at DCA... yuck

At this point there could be a storm with 60dbz overhead , but the sun would be out . We do get ‘d again https://x.com/growingwisdom/status/2071555765949641167?s=46&t=dhcbvkjmRcyBVQtDxJ3lRg

I's basically a once in a lifetime experience that this is happening. Hopefully you'll share them video and photos

Oh, I most certainly will! I took a vacation day because the Union Pacific Big Boy is coming through Tamaqua today. I live so close to the tracks that it's practically going through my backyard. I could sit on my back patio and watch it go by, but it's doing a 15 minute photo stop at the train station, so I'll be walking down there to see it, and hopefully get some good pics and video.

Despite the MRGL/SLGHT risk SPC has for the region Fri, it still looks to me too warm aloft and capped for any significant storms most of the region. Still +12 C at 700 most of the day. The ridging aloft starts to break down by late aftn, but models show very limited storm coverage. Isolated storms at best. Best chance the PA border and SW VA/parts of WV. Looks good for considerable tstm activity Sat-Mon. GFS and ECMWF quite wet for the region in the next week.

5:00 am 74 dgrees. Stay hydrated today. Voyager enjoy your day Might try and squeeze a grass cut in this morning. Clover gone wild

It sounded good west of me towards UCOnn/IJD and then fell apart approaching 395. Low of 72F here so far, S FL like.

max HI 113 high temp 96

What a night for Newark with a low of 85 and a heat index of 95.

That storm last night must of been fun.. I woke up towards then end of it but a bunch of small to medium branches down throughout town..

Having CanSIPS and JMA on our side at this point is actually encouraging no matter what ECMWF and Chuck say

I’ll reiterate that I thought Chris Martz looked really bad due to saying “it’s called summer” and for saying “heat dome” wasn’t the correct term. However, I also said Jeff B. was wrong for calling the current/upcoming US heatwave one of the most expansive in history. Here again is Chris’ post responding to Jeff: But I forgot to earlier mention this: The mean temp in July (and also in summer as a whole) comes out close to normal rather than hot in the E US when averaging RONI based super strong El Niños. See image below. Hardly any were hot. 1957, 65, 72, and 97 were slightly cool. 1982 and 2015 were NN. Only 1991 was hot. That’s just 1 of the 7! That’s enough for me to say that the upcoming super-El Nino in combo with GW is not the direct cause for the current E US heatwave as Jeff said. GW, by itself, obviously favors hotter heatwaves than when the Earth was cooler. But the supposed super-El Nino piece of this, itself, correlating to E US heat does not compute to me at all. Thus whereas I thought Chris’ post was terrible, I also think Jeff’s was pretty bad, itself. @donsutherland1

Few rumbles here and a couple quick downpours but at least it’s something to keep things interesting. It’s been downright tropical out there this evening too. Haven’t felt this in a long time. Those outdoor patio chairs are starting to get a little sticky!

The Ring of Fire around the ridge. My turn here in Chicago is on Saturday-I'm flying out on Sun so hopefully we're done then and maybe it'll be severe I get to see. Suffolk got hit this morning and much needed. We're in convective season where synoptic systems don't happen other than anything tropical. The south shore LI pretty much goes into a 3-4 month drought because of all the storms that die before making it there.

WNW winds will determine. Probably Ambrose Jet tomorrow so that's shot.
