Next week will feel like fall compared to this, I think highs on Tuesday stay in the 70s. No relief tonight though, 90/75 close to 9pm. Urban spots may stay in the 80s tonight with a high launching pad for tomorrow.

Looks like another extremely heavy rain pocket in S Central NJ.

Down here in the suburbs it's even forecast to be 80F Saturday night, which I don't ever recall seeing. La Guardia may only get down to 84-85.

Too much cloud coverage for 90 today and front passes through early Monday. Fri-Sun will likely yield 95+ readings, can't rule out 100 for Sat or Sun in the hottest spots.

The non-stop lightning is crazy, it's been a long time since I've seen such frequencies.

Nothing yet here. Looks like some modest rains coming but nothing too bad.

I think it's just noise and it'll bump things up next run.

All this heat is coming and NYC just had a major blackout. Could this heat cause another blackout?

Absolutely brutal, upper 90s with 80 dews. We're talking 110-115 heat indices.

The heat looks brutal this week. Excessive heat warning type stuff.

I didn't think the blocking would go away. This pattern's stuck for the long haul with some shifting every now & then.

Insane how the -NAO is stuck in its negative phase, AO too. However blocking in mid summer tends to mean hot vs cool. Not sure if there's a link between -NAO summer vs winter. Is 100F in the cards this month?

No issues with rain here. It's peak summer so you always expect dry outs and brown lawns.

We'll probably be setting a lot of heat records.

We only lost 8-10 minutes depending on where you live, 95% of that in the morning.

Getting plenty of sunshine right now. 84/75 CAPE already at 2500 High instability/low shear, good recipe for training storms, precip values exceeding 2"

I don't know, it seems the closer we get the more blocking starts to show up. The current warming, ice melt could even help enhance blocking.

These climate agenda arguments are so baffling to me, there's literally hard data from numerous sources/satellites that goes back decades to hundreds of years. But I guess in an age where anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers exist we shouldn't be too surprised. Regardless, the climate will do what science intended whether you choose to remain ignorant or not. I kid you not there were tweets where people tried to dispute climate change by stating it snowed in Alberta last June. But mention record heat in Alaska/Europe happening now and you won't hear a peep.

Amazing how stuck in place these patterns have gotten as of late.

Blocking pattern hasn't changed but the wavelengths have so we're getting heat instead of cool.

Some action firing up on the north side of that now, perhaps we won't miss out after all.

Looks like the bow will miss to the South.

And you lost. Upcoming pattern looks brutal for Arctic, and if this pattern lasts through the summer like I think it will, then 2012 could go down the tubes.

We're getting 90s with relatively modest ridging and wet soils, imagine what would happen if a giant heat dome were ever to set up.

Not necessarily, will probably be a high min type of deal with highs hovering at or in the low 90s. That's enough for a +4
