I noticed it all day and the hrrr smoke graphic this morning showed a patch swirling through midday.

So glad he got to do his final show! Hits hard at the lost though!

This is referring to some of the remnants of Invest 93L coming over the Gulf again: Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Tue Jul 22 2025 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America: North-Central Gulf: A trough of low pressure on the southern end of a frontal boundary is currently located just offshore of the Southeastern U.S. coast. Over the next few days, this system is forecast to move west-southwestward into the north-central portion of the Gulf, where environmental conditions could allow for some slow development if the system remains far enough offshore. By this weekend, the system is likely to move inland, ending its chances for development. Regardless of formation, heavy rainfall could be possible for portions of the northern Gulf coast through this weekend. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Papin

Possibly something @weatherwiz might be interested in. I just had this video show up on my YouTube feed. Not sure why. but a decent documentary on the 1995 Great Barrington MA tornado it just posted 5 days ago Worth watching IMHO

Last time in July, may have been last year July 4th 2024.

First concert that I was allowed to go to with just friends. We took the red line to the green line to the old Boston Garden. It was 1982 Bark at the Moon tour. Up and coming band called Mötley Crüe was the opening act.. I was 14 years old.

Those mostly sunny forecasts from last night and this morning were a bit off today,

See my link in the banter thread.

He was simply amazing and there’s nobody else quite like him.

If so, the last time Central Park was warmer than Bridgeport, Islip, JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark was May 1.

Makes sense as the instruments are on the east side of the park so the wind was blowing off the densely urban UES.

(reserved for October to December logs and annual summary) this may appear July 23-24 (your comments or questions welcome, will get to those after completing the work in these reserved posts) (similar logs for record low values will appear later, possibly after a month or two, as interest in those would probably peak in fall and winter anyway)

(reserved for July to September logs) will be posting these overnight probably

yeah - ocean temps along the Jersey shore in the 80s in July is nuts.

(reserved for April to June logs)

Ever wondered what the records were before the modern set that will be more familiar? I have a log of these older records, taking as a starting assumption that the 32 years 1869 to 1900 would be a long enough interval to create a "starter set" of records. This chart will show all of those old "starter records" and any records set after 1900, including those subsequently broken again (and again in some cases). For the few cases where a starter record has held up to the present time, I show (in brackets) the highest value since then. (Later I will add a section for record lows but a lot more of those will hold up). In fact the chart also shows "warmest since record" for any records set before 1981, if the record is more recent than 1981 that's the end of the date report. So in this table, any value in italics is a tied record (whether tied at the time or not), and any value in bold is the eventual record that stands today. A bold italic group therefore is a set of tied records that still exists. And as mentioned, any value in brackets is not a record but the warmest since the record was set. In the rare instances where the warmest since a record falls before 1981, the "warmest since 1981" is in double brackets (see for example Jan 15). Jan 23 is an even rarer case where three levels of "warmest since" can be found ending with the post-1981 maximum. (Tied "warmest since" values are not shown in italics) I have arranged the table so that the subsequent records line up by decades to the extent possible, so if your interest was let's say records to 1940, that would be fairly easy to see from the alignment of records in the tables. A situation like Jan 6 with five record changes 1913 to 1950 spreads out a little relative to most of the other data so I reduced the type size to make the fit closer to being perfect. At the end of each month is a summary of how many eventual records are held by each decade (the starter era is broken down into 1869-1880, 1881-1890 and 1891-1900). A decimal in this section refers to a tied record (0.5 a two-way tie, 0.33 a three-way tie and in July there are two cases of four-way ties at 0.25). The final entry in this section is for the half-decade 2021-25 (with asterisk indicating this stat needs to be doubled to compare with all previous entries). These line entries for decades are collected again at end of the log, to compare total records set for the year by adding up the monthly components. (1869-1880 is 20% longer than the other time intervals).

Looks like slightly above average:

lol what? We do enjoy. Right now we out here. Will really miss the long daylight when this ends. Will miss the 7:30-8:30pm dog walks.

Sun angle creeping up soon...less than 5 months now!

by that time averages are going down so who cares if its a bit above glad you've come to our side though

Smoke weed and watch Obama head to jail ? That’s what a few here will do . Most will enjoy the weather because it’s the only weather we’ve got

Drink and pray man…drink and pray.

OK, so here's what I'm talking about: current radar, blue dot is my house.

This particular subject was covered in some depth by Mora et. al in 2013: https://cities-today.com/new-study-predicts-when-climate-change-will-irreversibly-hit-your-city/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Transient climate responses and regional effects will ofc hasten or slow the date. Don't mistake large mid-latitude variability and transient responses for anything other than chance. One day the dice will not land as favorably. Note that this map is RCP 8.5 and running CMIP5. We are below that run in terms of CO2 concentrations, but very near it in terms of total radiative forcing (due to a number of factors) and CMIP6 is running pretty close to reality nowadays.
