mostly dry and south winds yesterday, no effort needed? :/

2025 Projections 90 (+) degree days. Core of the hottest Late Jul - Aug Ranges PHL: 32 - 37 EWR: 30 - 35 TTN: 22 - 27 LGA: 21 - 24 ACY: 30 - 35 TEB: 30 - 25 NYC: 18 - 23 JFK: 12 - 17 ISP: 10 - 15 New Brunswick: 30 - 35 Specific EWR: 34 NYC: 20 LGA : 28 PHL: 36

Couple of folks I follow think we're a little cooked - flux rope coming through too early. We'll see.

50F, cloudy, cool l,.breezy. where's the supposed sun???? Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

You are using two examples of a records heat wave (sustained heat) and saying like we used to get, when it only happened those two years, when there were many years in the 40s and 50s that had less 90 degree days than normal. Those streaks are rare but the area (mayne not the park) came close in 1988, 1991, 1993, 2002, 2010. Outside the park, Bluewave has shown overall temps and even # of 90(+) days have increased vs the 40s/50s. There has been a tendency 2021 - 2024 for onshore flow limiting heat east of the Hudson, we'll see how this year evolves. For the summer weather lovers, those type heat streaks are welcome .

With more sun and warmer temps I bet it improves greatly this week. I hope you enjoy your "pool beach" real soon !

51, thin overcast, breeze

Electricity wasn't even that bad up until 2020. Then we decided that we need to get rid of nuclear, shut down fossil fuels too quickly, depend on slow to be built and expensive off shore wind farms, etc. What can go wrong!

I need my pool to warm up so I can enjoy my version of the beach

Next rain will come between Fri-Sat with frontal boundary storms but otherwise drying out and heating up after the 12 days cool/wet period

Tomatoes will be happy, and maybe the ocean surf zone temps will finally respond from being stuck between 57 and 61 F. for the last two months. I am ready for the beach !

That's true. It's crazy how now we see smoke so often. The only other time I remember experiencing smoke before the last few years was back in summer 2002 from the fires in Quebec.

Snow whitened the ground in Cleveland OH and Rochester NY. (David Ludlum) 1903 - A strong tornado just 50 to 75 yards in width killed many persons around the Gainesville GA Cotton Mill. The tornado strengthened and widened near the end of its four mile path, killing 40 persons at New Holland GA. A total of 104 persons were killed in the tornado. (The Weather Channel) 1903: During the early afternoon, one of the most destructive tornadoes in the history of Georgia up to this time, struck the outskirts of Gainesville. The track of the storm was about four miles in length and varied between 100 to 200 feet in width. The tornado touched down about one mile southwest of Gainesville, striking a large cotton mill at 12:45 pm, Eastern Time, just 10 minutes after 750 employees filed into the great structure from dinner. On the top floor of the mill were employed 250 children, and it was here that the greatest loss of life occurred. 1919: Snowfall of almost a half-inch fell at Denver, Colorado. This storm produced their greatest 24-hour snowfall recorded in June. Two temperature records were set: The low temperature of 32 degrees was a record low for the date, and the high of only 40 degrees was a record low maximum. Cheyenne, Wyoming recorded 1.6 inches of snow, which is one of only six times that at least one inch of snow has fallen at Cheyenne in June. 1934: June started off on a warm note as high temperatures surpassed the century mark across parts of the Midwest. Several locations tied or set a record high temperatures for June including: Rockford, IL: 106°, Mather, WI: 105°, Hatfield, WI: 103°, Mondovi, WI: 102°, Chicago, IL: 102° and Grand Rapids, MI tied their June record high with 102°. 1947: Air Force weather flights into Pacific typhoons commenced on this date. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1969: For about three seconds, a brilliantly white and apparently spherical ball of fire occurred at tree-top height, vividly lighting the area near the Cabin John Bridge exit of the Capital Beltway in Maryland, just northwest of Washington, DC The eerie phenomenon was ball lightning from a thunderstorm. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1971: 8 inches of snow fell at Rainier Park Ranger Station in Washington state at the 5,427 feet elevation level. This ended up as the final snowfall of the 1970-71 winter season and brought the seasonal snowfall total to 1,027 inches to set a new record for the U.S. Despite this huge amount of snow, even more fell in the 1971- 72 season.

Of these, 33 homes were destroyed along with the St. James Golf Course clubhouse and two Missouri Department of Transportation buildings. The tornado then moved east, south of the downtown St. James area and intensified. F2 to F3 damage occurred with a 200 to 300-yard damage path. Several homes and farm buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. Further north, severe thunderstorms produced many tornadoes around central Illinois. The most intense tornado touched down in Montgomery County south of Farmersville and moved into southwest Christian County. One person was killed when a semi-trailer overturned at a rest area on I-55. Across eastern parts of the state, high winds up to 70 mph caused damage to trees, power lines, and some buildings. The Mattoon area also reported flooding from these storms, producing $3 million dollars in damage. 2012: At least 11 tornadoes touched down in Maryland and Virginia during (June 1, 2012 Friday's) storms, according to the latest figures. A severe thunderstorm with a confirmed EF1 tornado, high damaging winds and very heavy rains caused white-out conditions on Friday afternoon, June 1, 2012 in the Finksburg 2NW area. This was the same thunderstorm that affected Mt. Airy and Gamber earlier. Attached are a few photos of the damage. I also have some maps of the damage area NW of Finksburg, Maryland. My rainfall at Manchester 1SW as of 11pm was 3.07" . Storm total was 3.13 inches. No wind damage at Manchester 1SSW.( By Ref. : Herb Close)

There's an aurora tonight? Will it be as good as last year's? And what time around will it be?

It shouldn't. I wonder if people are even aware of it though. It should be mentioned in forecasts but most of the time it gets disregarded as just "haze" which isn't truly accurate. It's a shame that most outlets don't even mention the smoke at all. People who use weather apps probably think tomorrow will be mostly sunny when it'll probably be more gray with all the smoke. I can see the majority of this upcoming week being ruined with smoke yet the forecasts will have people expecting blue skies

We’ll probably have to wait for a substorm tonight for best chances.

Got down to 45.9F. Another night of 40s tonight before we warm significantly for a few days. .

I think it was more so the wind and rain that made it miserable. Had a golf outing and I was freezing.

My senior year of high school, sitting in those newer rooms with the big windows in the OHS was brutal. On our off periods we'd go sit in our cars with the AC on.

Low of 48 with .04” of rain.

Can’t wait

60 / 42 breezy off what should the coolest low of 47 (for a while / Sep). Step up warm up to 70 today/ mid / upper 70s Monday, low 80s Tuesday , Mid - upper 80s or 90 in the hot spots Wed, Low 90s or better Thu. Hotter spots could get 3 day litttle heatwave to get back into the summer regime. Storms Fri late or Saturday with weak front, otherwise warmer than normal next weekend. 6/9 and beyond looks overall above normal with perhaps brief pieces of heat surging into the area but storms could follow routinely - more classic mid summer look. GFS has been adamant on a Tropical system into Gulf states.

Don't believe it Elevated smoke will ruin our chance of seeing the Aurora tonight during breaks in the clouds.

No 90's in Harrisburg yet, and now it seems none for late week. Summer off to a cool start.

This loop sure looks like smoke in the upper levels over a wide area of the East. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus_band.php?sat=G19&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24
