I mentioned how the shadows looked funky with the smoke.

air quality alert for smoke issued for the entire eastern panhandle of WV.

how dare you get told that molotov cocktails are dangerous

Pretty close! Officially checked in at 71.9F, matching 1901 & 1949 for 4th place overall.

Interesting @Kmlwx https://x.com/Gio_wx/status/1953625408219271370

Looking at 850Ts, seems like a subtle shift north with the highest 850 temps on guidance. Might be your classic MHT-lower elevation Maine roaster. Just for Dryslot. A Tamarack Torcher.

NYC came extremely close to having three days of 100+ which is outrageous in this era of foliage blockage and the fact that this happened in August, not July. It still did not match August 1948's three straight days of 100+ but this was the closest we've gotten to since then for three straight 100+ days at NYC in August. Tony could you post the 100+ days in August 1948 at all of these locations please-- I think this was the first month that the sensor at JFK came into operation.

If the Coop is nearby, it's over 400' lower. So makes sense it would be warmer.

I understand the limitations of these data at this range, but I don't disagree.

What an amazing start to August!

Yes, you are right. Looks like the NWS must have a coop site nearby too. Looks a little warmer throughout the record than the observatory numbers, maybe lower in elevation?

what I find ironic is that JFK's 99 was actually on the day prior to the hottest day in the other locations. LGA and EWR set the monthly records with their 104 and 105 and NYC was only one degree off with their 103.

Thanks Tony!! Wow, the skies are so deep blue, I could live with this weather forever. Screw summer, screw winter, just have this weather 24/7/365 lol

Not sure if the Coop is the same as the observatory. I read it off their website.

Blue Hill Co-op saw its 4th hottest July on record with a mean temperature of 75.4F. Overall, it was the 9th hottest July for the state of Massachusetts with a gridded mean of 73.7F.

No smoke, no humidity. Just a 10/10 day out there.

I can't imagine the NHC will wait too much longer before tagging the newest wave given the signal across guidance, but with 96L "underperforming" (great call @Newman) we see how a model signal can change on a dime in this environment.

Hmm...KGON seems to be having some sensor problems. Hit 91 yesterday and 93 already today.

Agree about "significant uptick" but the subseasonal environment is getting more favorable. And if you're the kind of person looking for land impacts you probably want only one game in town--or at least widely spaced systems--otherwise you'll likely end up with ridging weaknesses all over for easy recurves. My current thought is that 96L underperforming may actually open the door for a closer approach of the follow up wave because the weakness in the ridging that is going to take 96L away will have the ability to close before the wave leaving Africa can reach it.

Added it above to the main post.

It's 630' so much closer to the elevation of the population around metro BOS and away from marine taint. It's also the most pristine record taking stations in the country.

Also, nailed my projection for Connecticut. Was indeed the 3rd hottest on record with a statewide mean of 75.2F. Incredible stuff. Only 2013 & 2020 were hotter!
