it's interesting that Newark hit as high as 103 and none of us east of the Hudson even hit 98

.98 4 day total More mist and dreary Make it stop 62 degrees

Ditty hat tip to blizz.

Extreme dews for days and days and days… https://x.com/bennollweather/status/1934945286650282488?s=46&t=dhcbvkjmRcyBVQtDxJ3lRg

Don't worry, our summers are now July-October :). I could really use a nice stretch of sunny days. Constant threat of clouds/rain is getting old. My girls are trying to get in their championship game but the weather isn't cooperating.

More tomorrow too. T-Blizz tried to tell you but you just wouldn't listen.

Added back to 2008

.31 here. One more day of this. In the other thread wdrag is mentioning the upcoming heat. I guess we flip the switch to summer plus more Thunderstorm possibilities.

Nah we dry.

I wish we had the high speed electric rails that Europe and Japan have. All our money goes into military crap.

Most of the branch lines are diesel. Hudson line from Croton to Poughkeepsie, Southeast to Wassaic, Danbury branch, Waterbury branch, and the Hartford line are all diesel. We are getting new Siemens locomotives too.

I've seen those trains, they are the ones that make those loud bell like sounds that make me think I'm back in the 1800s lol.

I thought it backed off a tick ... but, I think you're referring mostly to the 2-meter type product layouts? The Euro detonates a field of CBs in the mid day heat a week from Thursday, and that knocks the feet out from under the longevity of this thing. It was supposed to be unperturbed thru Saturday and that back end/half of it's being normalized by that 00z run. But with heights starting to ebb the model seems to be using that and the processing together as means to establish decay momentum that normalizes stuff prior to the previous idea. But yeah, the Tues-Wed ... it's like the models trying to 'cone' the heat into a 2-day, sun comes to earth event. It's all noise obviously. Until next Wednesday is D4 ...( maybe Saturday's runs...), I'm pretty heavily ensemble reliant. The EPS continues to inch more impressive in the main 500 dm metrical heights, in terms of layout and vertical dimensions. As did the GEFs, now actually having caught up and being complementary - for still D6 and beyond, that in itself is worth the mention. The GEPs is attempting to down play - either that or it is just not caught up yet. Not sure which... I don't tend to rely on the GEPs for summer stuff.

There are still parts of the LIRR not electrified. Port Jefferson & Oyster Bay branches, so diesel is used.

.31 here for the same duration.

Diesel? That should have been retired years ago. Serves them right to use ancient highly polluting fuel.

This sounds like a broken record. Same here

0.57 for 7 am CoCoRaHS report, just a touch over an inch since Friday here, BUT places in my and the three surrounding counties have seen 3-5 inches in that time. Soupy/humid last two days, nasty. Currently 66.2/65.8.

That’s way more than modeled .Yours is coming looking at radar

It is bad enough on some of the diesel hauled coaches when the AC is on the fritz with 70s outside. I expect to see big rail issues next week. Third rail/caternary issues, coaches with no AC, you name it.

I'm sure those 6 people who died in WV from the flash flooding would have loved that water to have sent to a future space colony..... No talk of insecticides because I'm armed and ready with my chemical weapons now. Because I just got my Bug Barrier and barrel and nozzle to do widespread spraying. As soon as this rain and gloom goes away I'm committing mass murder on all bugs. I have enough of these chemical weapons to kill everything off for at least 6 months. I'm spraying everything in sight starting Friday I'm going to laugh when you get Lyme Disease on your ass lol. Ticks love those warm moist spots.

The abject irritation from skipping over a series of upper 70s to mid 80s days because it has been gray east wind for two months and then going straight to hells anus hot is real.

It's not just that, people love exciting historical occurrences they can tell their children and grandchildren about, hitting triple digits is quite exhilarating.

100 degrees is just as exciting as 20 inches of snow. Most people are number geeks and love seeing exceptional numbers.
