99F feeling like 106!

Here's something new. My brother's good friend was fishing about 10 miles off of ocean city new jersey and accidentally got a 10ft Great White on the line. They cut the line as the line and rod weren't equipped for it, but got a nice view of it beforehand. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

that may actually provide focus for thunderstorms tomorrow...guess it will be a S coast day for some storms

Chance for record low monthly NOAA PDO increasing for July. Current record is -3.8. It’s possible it will even end up just below -4:

I have brought up the infamous 1880-81 & 1881-82 winters many times. They were actually during a period locally which lasted from 1874-75 thru 1881-82 where every other winter alternated from abnormally cold between abnormally warm. Incredibly all 8 of those winters (4 warm, 4 cold) are still in Detroits all-time top 20 coldest/warmest winters list. The winter of 1880-81 saw 93.6" of snow and an avg temp of 21.6F followed by 1881-82 with 13.2" of snow and a mean temp of 36.9F. There appear to be some errors in snow data earlier than 1885 (id have to go to DTX and look at the archaic books to find out) as xmacis would have the snowfall at 79.4" & 11.5", but regardless, massive difference. The Laura Ingalls Wilder book, "The Long Winter", while admittedly a bit embellished, is a fascinating read which takes place from late summer 1880 thru spring 1881 in what is now North Dakota. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Winter_(novel) The following book, "Little Town on the Prairie", while not specifically weather focused, discusses the extraordinarily mild winter 1881-82 in Dakota. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Town_on_the_Prairie Daily newspapers accounts also talked about the harshness of the 1880-81 winter and the remarkably mild 1881-82 winter.

98° at home

Closing in on 1" here. Of course, I took the cover off the boat yesterday to work on it. I keep thinking the boat is impervious to water, but apparently, not so - at least not the inside.

Mine read 99-100 so likely 96-97 here in reality which is very hot for this locale

hrrr selling a nice soak for many as the last piece of energy rides over the ridge tomorrow before the lake week/weekend reprise from the heat/humidity

I’m in Cambridge . We sweat

Made it up to 91F today at PIT (so far). 5th day at or above 90F in the last 6 days (only exception, 89F on Sunday).

The magnitude and duration of the westerly flow on Long Island was unprecedented in 2010. While earlier years had some, it was nothing compared to 2010. This was the only time that a station on Long Island had 50 days reaching 90°.

Down to 90 from a high of 97 at my station. DP is 75 with a HI of 105

Driving a different car and figured the thermometer was running hot. Didn't realize it actually is in the upper 90's.

should there be more snow or is that normal mid summer?

I'm guessing the clouds from which it was falling were blocked by terrain from the observer's view point? The clouds may have dissipated or moved out of view while the snow was still drifting to the ground, I suppose.

My p&c is 69 for a high on Friday, I'd bet the over on that.

WB 12Z GFS.....Friday will bring relief!!!! 24 hour temp forecast change for 2pm Friday.

Not in 1999, not even on the day it hit 102 at JFK (the high was late in the day too)? and in 2011 when it was 103 and 102 on back to back days at JFK on July 22-23?

O’s putting on a “I want to be traded to a playoff team” display of late.

Wow! Scorcher today in Chester County, even in these carefully curated cool microclimates. That's a big pet peeve of mine... why spend all of this money on a "mesonet" and then place all of the equipment on farms or in parks, rather than in the communities where people live and work.

if we have a steady rain or something then yes-outside of that not happening.

wait how do you get 15 minutes of snow from a cloudless sky? and I thought the 8 inch diameter snowflake that fell in Montana was ridiculous! I wonder if they froze that thing to save it for posterity lol. We once had snow from a cloudless sky, I don't remember what year (late 80s or early 90s) and it was in December. But it happened at night and it was a full moon and it snowed for 2 hours and we got 1-2 inches (it snowed really hard from a cloudless sky.) An arctic front had come through that day and we had on and off snow showers with mostly sunny skies all day and it was very windy. I can't really say the sky was completely cloudless but since I could clearly see the full moon while it was snowing hard, thats what I assume Can you find out what year that happened? it happened from 10 PM to Midnight I remember this because I saw the radar for it on the 10 oclock news on PIX11 and it was small stalled snow shower near JFK and the south shore of Nassau county.

My P&C 71 lol
