...TROPICAL STORM WARNING EXTENDED NORTHWARD IN NORTH CAROLINA... 11:00 AM EDT Sat Jul 05 Location: 31.1°N 78.7°W Moving: N at 1 mph Min pressure: 1007 mb Max sustained: 40 mph

Looks like 1-3" of rain fell across areas of N MN (much of the state actually). Rain started late last night here with 0.46" (7am) and still raining. Pleasant wx on tap after this front leaves for the next week.

Per recon:

The heliport gets sea breezes off the NY Harbor. So it’s not really representative of the areas of NYC away from the shore. I would have them decommission the site by the castle since the park conservancy would never allow any of those trees to be cut down. The one thing I learned over the years is that people love their trees. Back on the South Shore were I used to live there were big disputes which emerged when some trees were going to be removed from my community. Several trees were damaged and were at a risk of falling on some of the houses. I was glad to have them removed. But some residents tried to block the tree removal guys from doing their job. As several fallen weak trees caused property damage prior to the crews arrival. So if NYC every tried to remove those trees around the ASOS, their would be a big protest. I would give the NYC mesonet the opportunity to pick a spot Central Park in a clearing to install a new site like below. So no trees would have to be disturbed.

75/59, it's a beaut Clark

Yeah thats why I said we might have days of rain starting Tuesday, now it looks like it might begin Monday =\

Thats how the roof at my other property was destroyed by falling oak trees, they don't have a deep root system and are vulnerable to microbursts and other strong wind events.

absolutely wild Chris.... and after the historic heatwave we had in July 1977.

This is why I advocate for the heliport (KJRB peaked at 105 in June). Besides the heliport, we can use rooftop stations. They would definitely be hotter than the shaded areas you speak of.

With the exception of June, this is why our heatwaves are weaker and do not last as long as they did in the 90s and the decades before then.

A grassy clearing in Central Park like the Great Lawn is among of the warmest parts of Manhattan Island and NYC. It’s one of the few spots that gets full sun during the summer. As the midtown streets are often in the shade with the increase in the ultra tall skyscrapers. Plus Central Park has an unusual amount of exposed bedrock which really heats up. This is why Central Park would often have similar temperatures as Newark and sometimes warmer during the summer from the 1930s to around 1980.

nice, EWR and JFK hotter than everyone else and also low humidity and deep blue skies....

Lots of sites in the Northeast had their coldest August morning during the last few days of that month in 1965. Also, MWN had a couple inches of snow.

Mighty hot July 1999 just getting started on this date.... Records:Highs:EWR: 103 (1999)NYC: 101 (1999)LGA: 100 (1999)JFK: 102 (1999)New Brnswck: 100 (1999) This day ranks with the hottest days ever in our area, when all official reporting stations recorded record highs in the triple digits on the same date!

I just came here to post about it. Horrific.

If you go by decades rather than 30 year periods, our number of 90 degree days peaked during the 90s. You can run the numbers for all the locations you mentioned and also JFK. We had multiple historically hot summers during the 90s (91,93,95,99) and we have not had that kind of sustained heat since then (with the exception of 2010.)

Horrible, horrible situation in Texas.

I am getting sick and tired of this shyte right now. It's pouring again. We are in the process of getting Kerr Countied today. I have to go out in this crap to take Ashley B to St David's to her work this morning! Low water crossings today are all like New Orleans in fracking Katrina. I can't even believe this malarkey about being warned for possibly ten more inches today. This is south central Texas not the southeastern Carolinas with Chantal.

But we should have local cooling breezes because New York City exists on islands (besides The Bronx of course.) I just don't believe that a park could ever be representative of urban conditions and the equipment should NEVER have been in a park to begin with. We have a heliport in lower Manhattan, that's where it should be. LGA is also hotter than most of the area because of how densely packed that region is and its overnight lows are always elevated compared to both JFK and Central Park. For Manhattan urban area purposes the equipment in Central Park needs to be taken out of the park and relocated to the heliport.

Just get the equipment out of Central Park and the problem is solved. Government needs to step in since NWS won't do a thing.

This might be the days of rain I saw on the forecast yesterday. Sunday might be our last good day for awhile.

The usual suspects are in the top 20, the summers I always talk about lol. Question though, why are we using 31 not 30? A month is scientifically speaking, the amount of time it takes for the moon to revolve around the earth and that averages out to 30 days (it's really 29.53 but we can round that to 30.) 1. 1966 June 20 to July 20 ___________91.97 2. 1993 July 5 to Aug 4 ______________91.61 3. 1999 July 3 or 4 to Aug 2 or 3 ____ 90.94 4. 1955 July 8 to Aug 7 ______________ 90.90 5. 1944 July 22 to Aug 21 ___________ 90.84 6. 1980 July 14 to Aug 13 ____________ 90.71 t7. 1988A July 16 to Aug 15 ___________ 90.29 t7. 2010 June 27 to July 27 __________ 90.29 (or July 3 to Aug 2 was also 90.29) 9. 2005 July 15 to Aug 14 ___________ 89.87 10. 2011 July 4 to Aug 3 _____________ 89.84 11. 1983 July 11 to Aug 10 ____________ 89.71 12. 1952 June 24 to July 24 _________ 89.35 t13. 1977 July 13 to Aug 12 ___________ 89.29 t13. 1995 July 13 to Aug 12 ___________ 89.29 t15. 1876 June 23 to July 23 __________ 89.26 t15. 1991 June 24 to July 24 __________ 89.26 t15. 2006 July 11 to Aug 10 ____________89.26 18. 1949 July 13 to Aug 12 ____________ 89.13 __ a non-overlapping 31d interval June 11 to July 11 was 86.74 19. 1953 June 20 to July 20 __________ 88.90 __ non-overlapping 31d intervals Aug 8 (or 10) to Sep 7 (or 9) 87.00 20. 2002 Jul 20 or 22 to Aug 19 or 21_ 88.87 __ non-overlapping 31d interval June 20 or 21 to July 20 or 21 was 87.10
