Meanwhile it’s 70-75 at the beaches 

Stein on it

Worked in and out of the heat from 5:30am to 2:30pm.  Sensational day, everyone outside enjoying the weather.  Another reason the heat is great; can fast for 18/24 hrs., and just drink water without being hungry!

Yes! Yes!!!

98 on car therm in Arlington lol

Gooooood morning! Beautiful day in Arlington MA!

So dumb

That man-made or natural?

Just as I'm skeptical of hitting 100 on any given day because any random thing can screw it up, I'm also skeptical of models wanting to blow a sea breeze all the way to Meriden lol. I think there will be some breeze along the coast, especially SE CT, but I doubt it gets terribly far inland. 

I have been most cautious on believing we maximize potential with this heat wave, but I think I'm on board now. This looks like it could be the real deal. It's 100 or bust, and if we can get two consecutive days that'd put us in rarified air. At least here in central CT. Even if we can't get a 100/62 heat indices are likely to be impressive. 

We better not fumble at the 1yd line  

more impressive that we're still 2-3 weeks? from peak temps

Probably splits with Maine and NY/VT getting it.

will be a nowcast, I wouldn't rule out something. A few mesos kinda hit on EMA from here down to your hood, to the Cape. (as you probably saw)

One of my favorite things in life.  That particular south Florida smell, the heat. Something unmistakable at FLL.

tbh I am really sensitive to any stinging/blood-sucking insects, and the usual allergies. epipen. Carhartt/Hoodie until it's like 95/75 or unbearable

I've been wearing a sweatshirt and a hat to protect me, also getting bit by little black flies.

shorts though?  That's brutal. I hate that "eaten alive" feeling, so wear the same thing/attire year-round.  T-shirt when it's 90 or 100

Yeah, a real mosquito summer out there. Be sure to wear plenty of layers and protect yourself from that WNV.  

...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
