DVN had 95 for us today. We hit 90.

A lot of crap does get thrown out there without context, and that definitely makes it hard to appropriately communicate when the true historic events happen. I think that for the most part it makes sense to use the written historical record, which obviously varies by location and quality control but is easiest to understand. I’ve personally communicated this coming heat wave in CT as “high end” or upper echelon if everything breaks toward overperforming, but critically, contextualizing what that means by showing the actual historical record for heat here. But I also lean in a lot more on heat index when talking about human impact.

I probably need that up here in SLK. This winter obliterated my battery. That said, I like walking out in -20°…

I hit 90.3 in Huntington Station, which is consistent with a 91 just a few miles away in Commack.

I wish we could hit 100 here just to say we did it.. but not sure that's even possible

Yeah jesh this dry period has been something else. It looks like if you get underneath one of these storms at Buckethead mentioned you could have some strong cells with torrential rainfall and hail.

My BOX p&c is 103 Thursday. I'm a bit skeptical, but man that would be sweet.

Hey I knocked the heated steering wheel, until my recent rig has it. I won’t lie, having an odd satisfaction leaving for the mountain and work at 4:45am and it’s -15F… but that steering wheel feels nice and warm lol. My wife always jokes I’ll go wander around Mount Mansfield in the brutal cold measuring snow and skiing, and then like a heated steering wheel. I do want the AC seats though, ha.

https://x.com/TylerSebreezy/status/2071380465630490940 The NSSL machine-learning severe probabilities show the classic "ring of fire" setup over the next 10+ days around our heat dome. The Northern Plains to the East Coast will have ingredients in place to support intense thunderstorm clusters/complexes and an MCS threat.

Mods. Lock this turd lol

Oh my god!! We all get it! All day, every day

Heated steering wheel is fine for about 15 minutes, then it’s overbearing.

Are you sure that there were low dews on August 2, 1975? I'm not sure how accurate this site is, but it shows 104F with a dew point of 77F at the 2PM observation at KPVD. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/KPVD/date/1975-8-2 I just think that its kind of ironic how even with all this global warming that is happening, we still haven't been able to beat 1975, despite many other areas of the country (and world) breaking their all time record highs.

Well said. That a major sticking point. Every wx event now is treated or pushed as if it is the "worst ever," "unprecedented," and "should not be happening," which is absolute nonsense. They completely ignore wx history and act like all that matters is what happens in the here and now. They prey on the cognitive shortcoming of "recency bias" to mold and brainwash the masses. Also, there is a lot of $$ and power to be gained when you have problems -- real, exaggerated, or imagined/concocted. Not to mention bad news sells -- the eternal constant.

My wife insists our next new car will have a heated steaming wheel… I don’t get that at all. I want the ventilated seats though. Blow across my ass!!!

I could've sworn that the forecast from GSP yesterday said that today would be dry. It rained most of the morning here, and currently I have a really strong thunderstorm with nickel to quarter sized hail. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Pretty dry here this year too, but im not familiar with back then.

Heated seats are a godsend!!!

"The US will endure one of its most expansive heatwaves in history this week." "One of the most...in history" Vague statement. Quantify it! Look for these weasel lines/statements/rhetoric. It reveals a lot. What does "one of the most" mean? Is it a top 5, 10, 20, 50 event? And the heat is just getting started. How can you know the true extent of it historically before it is has happened/finished? "In history" - which history (period)? Since the last ice age? Since the U.S. was founded? Since standardized temp records commenced (1870)? In the satellite era? I have often found "history" these days to much of MSM starts no more than a generation ago or the year 2000. I have no respect for people like this that push out relentless hype and alarmism and ignore context, perspective and balance. It is bad science. All they care about is their ego, monetization, and/or pushing a narrative.

Nope. But decently insulated. Even in the coldest parts of winter it is well above freezing. Heated seats ftw
