Deegan is flooded. Repeat of the bad flooding last summer. 

I hearing reports of flooding uptown too. There was flooding from the early morning storms already before this round. I-95 from north of Newark to CT been getting it today. Meanwhile haven't seen a drop in Lower Manhattan.  You can see on Google maps standstill traffic centered around GWB, Upper Manhattan, Bronx, sound shore side of Westchester

Yday I was marveling at how dry and brown it was looking.

T storms keep coming today. Multiple downpours moving over the same area. Close to 2"

Nearly steady temps since sunrise 75 dew 74. 

Crazy torrential downpour, it's been a while. Finally getting real rain, had .09 for the month until this am.

Not a drop on the south shore. You know the deal having grown up in Long Beach. We call these secret days at Jones beach. It’s been sunny all day

I'm at Long Beach today and it was nice avoid storms all day, first driving through heavy rain in northern Queens to seeing a storm pass just north then the east of here.  Also the water is quite warm now.

Central Park has its first heatwave of the year.

Well that settles that.

I'm at 90, 6th of the month

I agree with this. NYC's Central Park probably will not reach 90 this afternoon but IMO there is a 30-40% chance they do reach it. 

WX/PT

89 at 2pm..they should easily at this point, but this is around the time they sometimes flatline or drop slightly while the rest keep climbing.

Dry periods are the few times they keep up better with surrounding stations so I think they will..

Maybe Central Park can get to 90 tomorrow and establish a heat wave

They root for extreme cold and crippling snowstorms, too.  How is this different?  They want extremes.  And, like winter, the extreme always seems 7-10 days out but doesn't actually get here (save for a 1-2 day surge).

Personally, I prefer heat to cold so I'd take heat waves over cold, snowy winters every time.  

Yes, the lack of sustained humidity has been notable.  It seems like there have been more days with deep blue skies already than many summers have all season.

I've found it remarkable the frequency of dew points in the 50s, even 40s still.  It's not like temps are averaging well below normal. I think that's what creates the muted summer feel to some people, more so than a lack of extended heat waves. It can be a hot summer here even with only occasional 90s but not when you're still getting multiples days of 50 degree dews into mid July. At least compared to recent memory

Heavy rain and intense hail storm in lower Manhattan. Windows getting bombarded with mostly hail. At least at high rise level. I see it bouncing and acclumating on the roofs of shorter buildings.

90 dew 49.

a crisp 90 if that's possible.

meanwhile ewr just hit 95

Temp and humidity had a mini spike last hr or so here. 94 dew 72. Micronets nearby did the same thing. It's sunny, but it's been sunny for a while anyway so curious as to why, or maybe no particular reason at all.

90 dew 69, 3rd straight (90, 96, 90)

Partly sunny 86 dew 70, after a low of 79.

A t storm just south of south st seaport is causing pandemonium with flying umbrella and flying broken glass on the piers for happy hour. Pouring in Bk with drizzle sunshine and powerful winds by Fulton

Currently

D.C. 89

Baltimore 91

Philly 91

Hartford 90

Central Park 88

Newark 98

In today's case there's more clouds and storms around DC so they not reaching their full potential. The park probably shouldn't be the same as an overcast DCA.

A late push and I'm up to 96.

94 dew 67. Yday was 90..maybe avoid enough storms to sneak in a 90 tomorrow for a heat wave.

Dew point is down a little at least.

Temp took off..93 here, probably helped by a dry as hell backyard

Are we close to any record low high temps today? Last unseasonably cool day we avoided it with midnight high temps, but we don't have that today 

Down to 55 here.

LGA is 56, at least tying the record low set in 1958. Don't know if they went below btwn hourly observations or may still drop a degree..

JFK is 55, the record is 54 in 1965.

Flash flooding in the bx..Pelham Pkwy..Laconia, williamsbridge rd. Pelham Pkwy subway station

It looked wild looking uptown from around wtc. Home station in bx showed 1" in 20 mins, most if it in the first 10 mins. 

Extended rounds of t storms continue. Some scattered pockets of power outages around as well, from lightening strikes I'm assuming 

I never experienced such a drop from mid 90s without a t storm before. It's like walking into a air conditioner outside

Going to eastern Westchester, inroads on the Bronx. That sea breeze shunted it to a crawls pace in areas further south. Cold air funneling down the LI sound makes sense given the ENE flow. It's visible now on TJFK.

Winds suddenly started gusting from the ENE in the Bx while headed east on Pelham Pkwy. A strong cool salty smelling wind. Like a light switch.

It looks like a shower coming in..Unless that's the pollen?
