wow two separate 99 degree heatwaves in July and August? thats like all the pain without the reward of a triple digit high at least 1983 (which was a hotter summer) hit 100 both in July and August at JFK and 99 at Central Park in September

that would be crazy a midnight high of 90....

A day later and the purple is back.

1993 and 2010 way ahead of everyone else, just as I remember them :-)

Weatherbell that was 00z.. 6z just got released since I posted that which is much less with that in mind it flops like that NAM and hrrr so take with a grain of salt

All about timing with the boundary and clouds. There may be some popup storms this afternoon/evening and also the opportunity for a city overnight 90 degree readings.

Do we have any idea about the dew points and humidity back then? I was 10 years old living in DC area in 1988 and remember a hot summer but nothing like the uncomfortable humidities today.

90+ from Philly to central NJ-NYC is mid 80's on most models tomorrow

6z euro is more impressive though.

Where do you see that? The 6z RRFS looks like 1-3" for Fairfield County up through Oxford.

I look foreward to Friday...so, so much.

HRRR sort of meh for the rain. Narrow area may get dumped, but doesn't seem overly impressive. Srfc front needs to be further north.

EWR joins 1966 and others for most 95F or higher season leaders with a long way to go for the top 3. We'll see mid august - early sep has a few to run up the number. Year Rank Days >= 95 °F 1993 1 25 2010 2 21 2022 3 20 1988 3 20 1944 3 20 2021 4 18 2012 5 17 2011 5 17 2002 5 17 1955 5 17 1949 6 16 2005 7 14 1953 7 14 2016 8 13 1999 8 13 1991 8 13 1987 8 13 1994 ,9 12 1983 9 12 1966 9 12 2025 9 12

If the numbers are taken as is, there would be 90s. The signal gets damped down over time due to the spread among the ensemble members. It's still fairly prominent at this timeframe.

86/74/77 Went out on the deck to water the container plants and came back in all sweaty. Am counting down the hours for that cooler dryer air to come in tomorrow evening.

Here's how 90° or above days have changed in frequency between 1961-1990 and 1991-2020.

Do you think NWS is going to use any of these stations for their official backup or perhaps even apply a corrective factor to the poorly sited Central Park ASOS? Which of these would be the closest to Central Park (so we can see the difference.)

wow 4 100+ in July and 99 in August

That’s why ConEd installed the new network. They were probably noticing stronger cooling demand from those neighborhoods in Queens and wanted to get reliable temperatures there. Since the airports are located right on the water and there is a large area of urban neighborhoods that are located more in the interior of the city.

so still a chance at 90 tomorrow?

models have slowed everything down-looks more like over night Thurs into Fri for the best rains

10 minutes lol? It's 91 here now. In and out of clouds too.

Raining in the S sub, and smoked out in the N. I'll take the smoke over the high dews. I don't have A/C, so I tough it out.
