Happy Independence Day to all!!! Well while today will still be sweltering it will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday. Real relief arrives tomorrow as temperatures fall back to near normal levels for early July with highs in the mid-80's. We will see temperatures fall to below average by Monday and continue through the middle of the week. Shower chances start to increase this evening, but I think the best chances for rain will be after fireworks. Rain chances really increase Sunday night into Monday morning. Some spots could see between 1 to 2 inches of much needed rain. -

92/72 heat index at 100 already. The breeze makes it feel alright in the shade

all models starting to come around to that theme which the Euro first picked up on a few days ago

That would be four 100-plus so far with a long way to go. Wonder what the most in one summer was?
-
98 already at 11 am, running ahead of yesterday. Some high clouds out to the west and SW, which may cut heating short early if that gets here. Dews a bit lower than yesterday.

Temps mid-upper 90s in south jersey already and it's only a little after 11 am!

91F/DP 68F. Guess I’m getting acclimated to this weather. Sitting in the shade with a nice breeze, it doesn’t feel too bad. -
2026-2027 Super El Nino
BlizzardWx replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
And it's not going to stop either. Both sides of the Pacific are going to stay active into fall, and El Nino is going to keep on rolling as continuous WWBs push it to full throttle. -
0.10" of rain from shwrs/stms that blossomed along the ridges, and moved overhead during the evening. Isolated chances today with a breezy Lake wind keeping temps rather cool. They shoot off the fireworks down at Agate Bay where the ore docks are, and those that watch them there will need a jacket/sweater/hoodie. I can see them from my home if I want to watch. Not really into the fireworks thing anymore.

Once again Con Edison lowers the voltage for my area in Brooklyn. They did it yesterday and it was brutal
