Widerspread 100s minus any of the caveats of clouds and seabreeze. Could be 3 lows >80 in the metros. Wed its a race to see if storms/clouds arrive before the hottest spots get to the century mark.

Hotter towards the 6h/7th

84/80 already yikes

Working outside today...debated if I should or not but I am already coated in a thin layer of sweat. This is going to be special. I may take a joy ride later today and just listen to the hums of AC units cranked on full blast. There is a gratification to it, like taking a joy ride around the holidays and seeing all the outdoor light displays. Want to see pictures of people sweating, people at the beach, people fanning themselves, sweaty cracks, lines of people at ice cream places. There is really nothing more special than this.

They should place a micronet/mesonet station in a sunny part of Central Park for research purposes.

How can the RGEM and GEMLAM be so different for Tuesday?

Yesterday the extended forecast was an unbroken string of 100's with zero rain. Long-range models always exaggerate about these things. Today the afternoon storm chances begin on Wednesday, and we go back to seasonal norms with daily storm risks. Only a mini-heatwave, I guess.

low of 67.8, up to 70.2 already... we climb
