hail spike in ny

Severe Thunderstorm Watch up for parts of central and northeastern PA this afternoon and evening.

watch issued

1887 peaked at 96F and 1917 had one (100F on July 31, see my previous post also)

Yes, somebody said, 'you know what, we need a machine that can make cold air, so we don't have to haul all of this ice around during hot weather.' Looking back I find these two consecutive 100F days to be the first such case, the next time it happened was in 1926 (July 21-22). Probably 98 100 98 98 from July 30 to Aug 2 1917 was more oppressive however.

92 here at 1:30 pm Tony!!

Lots of heavy thunderstorms in the area, including right here on one of the islands that I’m visiting. Plentiful CTG lightning. Storming at my place, too, per radar. First rain of significance since way back on 6/18!

That’s true. With summers continuing to warm, there has been a sudden explosion of truly extreme summers. It’s too soon to draw too many conclusions about that, but in general extremes have increased in a non-linear fashion as the climate has warmed.

well 2010 really stands out Tony only time we had a 1966 type of heatwave around here, one was 3 days in a row of 100+ the other one was 3 days out of 4 of 100+ what about sky conditions, how many of them since 2010 had clear blue skies Tony?

Maybe the wording will come back but I noticed all mention of rain tonite was removed from my local (Columbia) NWS forecast, at least during the 1pm hour text forecast.

Roger, did 1887 or 1917 have any 100 degree days?

Phoenix has set some absolutely amazing records the last few years and not just for one or two days but for the entire summer, Don!

You could also add 1887 (thinking of winter 1887-88) which had a very warm July, warmer than 1901. I guess it's not an invariable rule, there was nothing particularly severe about winters 1896-97, or 1953-54, but I would say you could add 1980 to your list because winter 1980-81 featured some extremely cold spells, it just wasn't a very snowy winter and it ended early (second half of Feb 1981 was probably top five in average temp). The summer of 1917 was not all that hot but a spell in late July and early August set a number of records.

Yes, the farther north you go the faster the warming. Boston has many many more 100 degree days than NYC in the last 12-13 years. Even Burlington is hotter. The lobsters are also migrating north, they used to have a colony near Long Island, which migrated to Maine which is now going even farther north to the Maritime Provinces.

Had to get my front mowed before it got to hot. Thank God for my locust tree that shades a good portion. Brutal out there.

Past years One note and i will correct it for JFK in 2019 is 87

Stay safe

Suddenly overcast at pit2

We might be in business for later...impressive CU field blowing up over SW NY

Stabilizing light shower w/ no thunder popped up overhead.

Well this is a dud of a cold pool. I did think it was pretty far north compared to past events.

Big let down here, no wind.
