Mmu is 88 so ewr must be at least 92

11:15am and it's 89. Feels so much worse. Late next week can't come soon enough.

Now none of the sites are updating the 1051 - 11 AM readings. 90 / 75 here

Beyond the 30th we are likely 90-less till Aug 7/8th. At this point - we'll see if seasonal trend is for more correction to warmer in the east.

Looks to stay pretty warm into early next week, but later in the week cooler air is set to infiltrate. August should begin on a mild note, but I would expect hotter weather to return at some point.

they'll come in before that, probably by 4 pm and end by 6 pm

and you'll add three more with the heatwave next week, Tuesday might be hotter than today (with no rain and maybe not even any clouds).

Currently at 8 days at or above 90F for the season at PIT. Looks like generally upper 80s to around 90 through Tuesday. We'll see if we can add some to that tally. Cooler air set to infiltrate late next week, with a milder start to August. I do expect another hot wave at some point in later August.

Yeah around 1 inch of rain per week (preferably at night) is probably ideal.

Looks like high temperatures will be at around 3 pm before a sharp drop off with the rain coming in by 4.

Check out July 5, 1999 when we had a temperature of 102 and a dew point of 45 here lol

Looks like rain will be moving in around 4 pm and last through about 6 pm, there will be a sharp 10 degree temperature drop between 3 and 4 when it comes in.

Below are the number of 90 plus days so far at the major climate/airport sites across the Northeast US - PHL 24 days. / ILG 15 days. /ACY 16 days. / ABE 8 days. / TTN 10 days. / RDG 17 days./ GED 20 days. / MPO 2 days. / EWR 24 days. / DCA 22 days./ BWI 17 days. / NYC Central Park 7 days. Now let us contrast that with the 90 plus days across the Chester County sites London Grove 3 / Devault 6 / Chester Springs 6 / West Bradford 6 / Kennett Square 6 / Warwick Twp. 4 / Nottingham 5 / Longwood Gardens 5 / KOQN Airport 7 / KMQS Airport 4 / West Grove 3 / East Nantmeal 3 /Avondale 2N with 4 days.

Yeah I mean hasn't that "wave" been there for like 6-7 years now? Seems like every winter I see you all mentioning it and I'm always annoyed at it because despite not fully understanding it I know it's been a negative for snow, lol

Some interesting numbers from the NOAA/NWS weather calculator pages, and assuming a sea level pressure of 30" Temp 95F, RH 20% = Dewpoint of 48 and associated Heat Index of 91.5F Temp 95F, RH 55% = Dewpoint of 76 and associated Heat Index of 109F Also, at high temperatures, relatively small jumps in the RH% value can make a BIG difference in the comfort level.

Mostly sunny for the next hour or two before going partly / M cloudy

3knam has some big storms after 5pm although they do tend to weaken thereafter

I think today is pretty active in CT

watch for the border of PA/NY

89/ 75 heat is on now.

Mind boggling how it cant publish the intra hour data or show a live update, especially at such a major/critical reporting station.

Fantastic

Widening out the view. A number of daily record high minima were observed yesterday at long term "threaded" sites... just looking her at places with 100-150+ years of record generally. There were certainly many more at cooperative observer sites and locations with shorter PORs. A number of locations saw low temperatures within 1 or 2F of record highs, and for those locations it was generally the 2nd or 3rd highest low for the date. Records: Rockford (74, tied) South Bend (74, tied) Huntington, WV (75) Paducah, KY (78) Meridian, MS (78) Jackson, MS (78, tied) Among maximum temperatures, not many records. Syracuse, New York set a new daily record of 94F. Several locations saw their 2nd or 3rd highest max temperature, but still fell well short of the record. We were competing with a 1934 heat episode that brought all-time record heat to some locations.
