Sundog

Maxed out a hair under 99.

It's like a noreaster out there with these east winds and rain, weird

Man the wind is blasting out of the east, switched suddenly a few minutes ago

Lol that would be sick

Interestingly the wind veered out of the east strongly with this last tail end of this heavy cell moving through Queens.

It would have been nice for the JFK radar to be working, but I'd be expecting too much. Over the years with constant outages among the different radars I've gotten used to it.

Are the storms expected to make any type of progress SE? I feel like they've been in NE PA and SNY for hours now

Another issue is the winds stay up in the city at night while they go dead in rural areas, adding to the UHI woes.

Yea but looking at WBGT, doesn't that actually make numbers hotter compared to HI?

It's really hard to average that high over a month because all it takes is a few days below average and a bunch of days near average and then even if 20 out of 30 days were a decent amount above normal at night your average gets dragged down. The latest average low in July at LGA is 72. For example if you have 5 lows at -2 departure , 5 days at 0 departure, 10 days at +3 departure and 10 days at +5 departure, even though most lows were very warm the whole month's lows comes out to +2.3 degrees. Central Park's average July low is 70 so for them it's significantly harder to have any monthly average low of 76. LGA is currently 73.2 degrees for the average monthly low despite the heat.

The urban jungle used to average lows in the upper 60s in July. Up until the 1981-2010 averages it did. Even in rural areas, if your dewpoints are high you're not cooling off either. Everyone's warming up at night. The farmland went from 65 to 68 and the city went from 68 to 71, or something like that. So yea rural still averages in the 60s but not as low into the 60s.

Low of 80 at LGA, JFK and Newark this morning. 79 at the natural cooling center.

Down into the upper 80s now, thank god we won't be baking at 90 degrees at 1AM

2010 had the September tornado that literally passed over my house and the microburst which together wiped out a massive amount of huge, old trees in my area. The canopy has never been the same, it makes me angry to this day.

I'm wondering if LGA hit 101 when the max temps are reported at 8PM.

I guess some type of sea breeze has overtaken the area because I'm down to 92 degrees.

97 degrees at NYC's largest natural cooling center

LGA at 100 for the 3PM reading

Other models show upper 60s, which would be a miracle itself, I'll take that too.

I'm currently at 101/69 Hopefully it will be 55 degrees Friday afternoon like the NAM says hahaha

I noticed temps haven't really dropped much unless you're right on the water. I'm at 99/69

98/69

Can we expect that to continue moving north?

The 12z NAM for Friday between 2 and 5PM is just funny:

The GFS has temps in the upper 50s in some places at 2PM:
