July 1, 1963 (102).

I love cooler temps, not if they're fake though

102 July 1, 1963 all others were 99 in June

Wife just got back from a walk and the tore up her ankles while walking . I mean I’ve never heard of anything like that

Glad I acclimated myself to the +110F temps. LFG! Bring it!

Incidentally it would have been 90 here with more sunshine.

I thought you like cooler temps

That 82 is sickening

Tony, what's the earliest JFK has hit 100? I know they've hit 100 multiple times in my life on or just after July 4th. July 4, 2010 101 degrees (hotter than either NYC or LGA) July 5, 1999 102 degrees

note how JFK is hotter than either LGA or NYC on an offshore wind.

86 here just one off EWR, nice. I expect the same thing at least for the peak heat day next week on Tuesday.

if anything it actually adds to warming by increasing overnight lows (even if it does dampen down extreme highs in the NE and other areas that have been getting excessive rainfall.)

Was at the store yesterday and they had those mosquito repellent bracelets for a buck at the checkout counter, I wore it tonight, the damn thing attracts mosquitoes.

Highs: EWR: 87 ISP: 86 JFK: 86 PHL: 86 ACY: 86 LGA: 85 TEB: 85 New Brnswck: 84 BLM: 84 TTN: 83 NYC: 82

Exactly. So much warmer in the city. I'm in Boston tonight and I watched the thermometer climb as I headed in.

They didn't have Montauk hitting 80 on a SW wind either a few weeks ago and yet it happened.

its just like they overdo the rain/snow line and show Long Island getting 0 snow lol

The NAM always overdoes the seabreeze, I would never use that. Also, as someone who lives out here, I never use raw numbers off of a global model for temps especially this time of year, you'll never be right. You think today's Euro was correct with today's forecast out here? Today's 12z Euro had a high of 79 for Shirley and 80 for ISP for today, Shirley hit 84 and ISP hit 85 officially. Today's 18z GFS never had Westhampton over 80, all wrong. GFS doesn't even have the resolution to "see" Westhampton properly if you're looking at maps I prefer to use hi-res models in the short term, you get a much better idea of the kind of temperature gradient to expect and wind direction. I love the GEM-LAM (HRDPS) for this although it can be a little too warm sometimes. HRRR isn't bad either, but the NAM is way too cool most of the time.

Can confirm...tons of pine needles. Water is 85 (and rising), so it's all good Yard is loaded with branches again, just like the fall and winter.

All look to dry up beyoond CPA

Ended on a partly cloudy note Gorgeous day Clouds and some showers storms back in PA look to fizzle out, but some clouds overnight and into the morning perhaps

...Parts of the Northeast... Storms may be ongoing at the beginning of the period across the Northeast as a mid-level shortwave trough shifts southeast. These storms could be marginally severe with some damaging wind threat. In the wake of this convection, very strong to extreme instability is expected to build into the Northeast, but very warm lower tropospheric temperatures and building heights aloft should suppress additional afternoon thunderstorms. Damn. Love that extreme wording though

It turns out Lindzen's Iris Theory is yet another failed contrarian theory. The Earth does not have some magical iris that prevents warming by reducing absorbed solar radiation. In fact, the consilience of evidence points to a positive shortwave feedback which was hypothesized as early as the 1960s.

Well, looks like after Monday the ridge will move east and then stall, setting up a ring of fire pattern for potentially the rest of the week next week. There are some differences as to where the exact stationary front sets up, however whatever areas that do end up underneath the ring could experience repeated rounds of heavy rain and potential flooding. These setups where there is a large ridge stalled on the E coast and a wide open GOM have caused major flood events in the past, such as a year ago when MN/IA/WI flooded while Detroit and points E experienced several days in the 90s. Definitely something to keep an eye on as we move into next week.

Since I mowed this evening instead of tomorrow I'm guessing it finally won't rain here at all
