Great day for my air conditioner to take a dive (again). Wonderful.

It certainly does. There could definitely be some select spots that see torrential slow-moving rains tomorrow. Hope it's not us.

If you believe the 12z NAM and a few other hi-res models, some places may not get out of the 60s on Friday. It just makes today’s heat and humidity feel so much worse knowing a long stretch of comfortable weather is right around the corner.

Now who was saying that a few days ago.. hmmm

we had a three day stretch of 100+ at NYC after August 25 (and two day stretch of 100+ at JFK in the same time period) in 1948 and hit 100 after August 20th at JFK in 1983, we can get big heat any time in the month (NYC hit 103 in August in 2001 on the 9th.)

temperatures rising quickly, skies have cleared out (some cirrus to my south, negligible) and 95 degrees here already!!!!!

doesn't look like the quality soak will pan out today imby

Yeah, we have been having a great discussion about this topic in the other part of the forum. https://www.science.org/content/article/america-s-corn-belt-making-its-own-weather https://news.wisc.edu/irrigated-farming-in-wisconsins-central-sands-cools-the-regions-climate/ https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/36/20/JCLI-D-22-0716.1.xml https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-16676-w https://news.ucar.edu/132872/1930s-dust-bowl-affected-extreme-heat-around-northern-hemisphere

Probably. Looks like alot of rain late Thurs into mid day Friday

Dewpoint around 60 here, the smoke has returned to the twin cities. Very hazy out today.

Broke back starts tomorrow.

For those who don’t realize this, the Midwest and just downwind have been helped high tempwise in recent decades by larger crops holding in soil moisture better and raising RH. These larger crops have partially been due to CC, itself. But lows haven’t been helped by this.

It is so hot! 87/77 with no wind making just a 15-minute dog walk a sweaty one. That Canadian airmass can't get here quick enough

we dry. <2" since mid-June

This summer pattern is a continuation of warmer along the coasts and cooler in the middle which has dominated since 2018. So it’s no surprise that the record heat has been focused in the East and West. It’s actually a reverse of the Dust Bowl pattern which had the warmth focused in the middle of the CONUS. This is why the places from the Upper Midwest to Great Lakes haven’t seen a repeat of the the record heat they got back in 1936, 1988, and 1995.

90/66, topped out at 99 yesterday.

Stein was very evident in NH, especially srn NH when I was up there last week. 93 in srn NH looked like dead prairie grass.

3knam too although a little further south

If you needed to drive from here to Jamestown NY overnight and then loop around western NY tomorrow but could postpone it until next week, would you? I'm not liking the thought of driving in and out of torrential downpours on Rt17 for hours on end.

Low end normal - Sandy River flow has dropped below the 25th percentile (and 0.3% of the flood flow in Dec 2023). The small trib running thru our woodlot is down to wet sand, not even disconnected puddles.

Let’s get Islip a foot.

Kind of looking like one of those NJ to NYC potential flash flooder.
