Are they good for nor easters? I’ve missed having big storms in general.

naso sure we get enough sun/mix enough to hit the mid 90s today

That’s a fully developed MCS with a nice trailing cold pool. Could survive the trek, we’ll see .

I your defense... I remember these summers since 2020 as having 101's on the car dash driving around during heat waves. Depended on where one was. It was like that kind of quantum oscillated away from the tarmacs to hide heat. hahaha. Anyway, point being ...when your 98 in a lazily flag waving sear, it's sort of like "close enough" ? 2021 had a June bizarre kind of DP heat wave. It was 93/81 ... I remember this specifically because both my kitchen refrigerator and my main living area window AC both crapped the bed literally within the same hour at the apex of that motherfucker. It was like the week after the solstice. Holy hell. and of course... because it was afoot, I had to skulk around the country side for hours to find both on emergency. I pulled it off though. Sat in a blast of cold AC air stream by 8 pm that night, and the refrigerator was picked up the following afternoon.

Forky's head will pop off in delight if EWR hits 107

Yeah EWR has to hit 107+ for the park to hit 100. My call is 98 .

Not sure why models are weakening this but sure does look good.. lots of tornado and severe warnings with it

Maybe I lied…close but no cigar in 2024. I know it was modeled. But 98-99…similar deal.

BDL at least 89. Probably 90 so day 1 should be in books

Wait, you guys have running HVAC systems?

Showers into the HV maybe touching N-NJ otherwise clouds pushing south. 2nd 90 of the heatwave here

It may be that we've been "playing with fire" ( n'yuk n'yuk ) in having missed this kind of multi-day integrated heat type. I mean seriously.

This would be the 3rd straight summer pulling hundies.

I would think both as long as it doesn't pull any of the cooled air out-attics can get to 130+ easily

How dare it get to 100F in summer

Is it better to run an attic fan (with gables) and HVAC during the heatwave or just HVAC

I suspect the climate models aren’t good enough yet to detect all of the circulation changes that are resulting from warming the climate. So we get these repeated 500mb ridges which keep getting stuck in places for long durations leading to these increasing record heat extremes. It’s quite possible that the repeating omega block itself which is driving the record heat pattern in Europe is also related to the warming climate.

Dry ground doing the dirty work....

This year was basically fine. Just need to keep it to a low simmer and slowly reconstitute the warm pool over time. Maybe throw in a cooler NATL spell that can reinforce trades and pop an actual CP Nino or two. We're at least very very likely to see some very strong Arctic warming into early winter '27-28 (response up there tends to lag lower latitudes quite a bit).

If i sit outside long enough thur-sat, will my fat melt away?

Yesterday was supposed to be 83 and it got to 88

Dammit

If you mean Central Park highly doubt it. My guess at airport high for this event is EWR hits 105 on Friday. Central Park probably tops out at 98-99.

Yep, this winter I had go back over a year and delete tons of screenshots and pics so I could post any new ones.

well... "heat" is typical in summer - or supposed to be... heh. We've had some summers that were little torpid in that regard - certainly with respect and comparison to CC and the world. I mean it's been warmer than normal? it has.. no question. But we ware lagging ( or been so - ) over the rest of the world for bigger heat event frequency. As others et al have noted and we've discussed, we've accrued much of our CC through nocturnal/low temperatures. Otherwise, as Scott and Brian and I have explained, there's too many ways to discretely interfere with temp rising. Subtle. I mean discrete when using that word, because it is not always very obvious ... We can look identical in the entry to Des Moines IA, yet they're 104 while we're 95...etc.. For that, which is fairly objective ... a result like what this looks like ( currently ) it's capable of achieving, would have to be considered atypically hot. But there's also a couple of facets simultaneously true. Those numbers I described, by scalar AND their implication when combined, are both above normal, but also above "normal heat waves". Any heat wave here is an anomaly... but f we were to say a 90/90/90 three days is 1 standard deviation, this is well above a single Standard Deviation if it goes on that way
