we should add about 6 more 90 degree days this coming week - Sun - thru Fri -which would bring the total for the year to 19 at Newark still less then last year thru July 19. The total at Newark in 2012 thru July was 24 ......
looking at the 12Z GFS - there are going to be quite a few days in the first half of august the area will be flirting with 90

looks like these numbers will be too low for the season -also so far at EWR for a 3 year period from 2010 through 7/27/2012 they have had 109- 90 degree days - that has to be a record or at least close to one
90 degree days at newark NJ
2010 - 54 - total year
2011 - 31- total year
2012 through 7/27 - 24 ( just made it to 90 breifly in between hours yesterday 7/27 at Newark)
the wild card is with you expecting a ridge out in the atlantic - if its in the right position will this create a path up the east coast for any tropical systems that form at a usually greater frequency starting in August ?
