The ham sandwich may get named: Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Mon Jun 23 2025 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America: 1. Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL90): Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization overnight with an area of the low pressure located about 500 miles east of Bermuda. Recent satellite-derived wind data also indicates the system has a well-defined surface circulation with maximum sustained winds of 30-35 mph. While environmental conditions are only marginally favorable, only a small increase in organization and persistence of the current shower and thunderstorm activity is likely to result in the formation of a short-lived tropical depression or storm, as soon as later today. By Tuesday, this system is expected to encounter less favorable environmental conditions, ending its opportunity for further development. Regardless of development, the system is forecast to move northeastward at 5 to 10 mph, remaining over the open central Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

It's still fucking 86 at EWR

Spent most of my day in the Berkshires on my way back home. Was cloudy the entire time, so temps didn’t get out of the low 80s. Still humid though. Got home and finally caved in and turned on the central air for the first time this year . Sure feels like the first true day of summer though.

75/72 Perfection!

HFD is still at 81/73. I’m at 77/73.

We got about a half inch to an inch of snow today. Snowed for most of the morning and afternoon. (elev 6,700')

Still 80 here, HI of 86. Impressive for this late in Suffolk

That’s next level, wow. Anyone without A/C in that area is in trouble. I’m afraid to think that there may be a good deal of folks in high-rise apartments that have no real ability to cool if they don’t have window units? Imagine starting the first night of the heater with a min in the upper 70s or 80s.

EWR 87° at 11p.

Couple ball players had the heat get to them, one guy puked, one guy needed an ice bath. I used to love playing ball on hot nights like tonight, loosened up quick and the ball travelled further.

I'm at 77, not sure of the dew point but its muggy as hell.

Still got to 87F And despite the many days of showers only at 4.00" for June

80 at 11pm, crazy. walked outside for 5 mins and got light headed

That 8.22" last week increased my YTD total by more than 50%! What was a very dry year statistically is now on track at 24.30". Just got back from visiting the wife's family in western PA and all the plants look lush. We'll see how they fare after a week of big heat. Interestingly, their region of western PA has had almost no summer so far, with constant rain and cool temps. A switch has just flipped though, as it launched into 80's yesterday. They will be in the upper 80s to 90 next week with high humidity, which is very unusual for them. Although I enjoy visiting them I was anxious to escape before the heat as central air is almost unknown up there, and most of the bedrooms are upstairs. It can be very uncomfortable sleeping at night even in normal weather.

We are certainly on a record-watch kind of week.

Agreed......I am going to use your SST WPO correlation this year. I took my first stab at the WPO last year and missed it.

This, which has been designated as the first “ham sandwich” storm since 2023, is liable to be declared a TD shortly with a TS not out of the question.
