Getting rocked here. Legit scary. CTG lightning and crashing thunder. Torrential rains. Winds gusting to est 60 mph. Debris all over. Power out. Generator on.

You gotta feel for people who have to work outside in this. Just horrible. Especially in highly urbanized areas (EWR, NYC PHL etc.) with the heat coming off the pavement and buildings. Also for those with no a/c. Just stifling outside overnight. Can't imagine no a/c. Yet people did it back in the day but I just can't imagine how miserable that must have been. Guidance suggesting some widespread rainfall later Sunday / Monday.

High temperatures across NJ today from Rutgers Weather Network. Most max heat index readings were between 108-115. There were some readings in excess of 115 over parts of NJ. Even as high as 120 over the southwest corner of the state. Hot day! One more similar day tomorrow. Still hot Saturday but "less hot".
-
Currently 97 here. That might do it for me for a high. Been going between 96 and 97.
-
Air was so think and hot in 1995 you could choke. Never before or since have I felt it that hot and humid. Local heat indexes reached 120. I think EWR was over 100 degrees with a DP of 80 if I remember correctly. Worst heat I've ever experienced.
-
Lots of 100+ across NJ so far today. Currently 95 here.
-
SW NJ is interesting with the high dews.
-
Yeah, we don't know how well placed they are. That's why I like the Rutgers network. They are all sited well.
-
Nasty hot already. DP's will mix out some later but with temperatures 100-105 for most away from the immediate NJ shore the heat index readings this afternoon could reach 115+ across much of NJ. Approaching rare territory at those ranges.
-
but it is
-
Was driving in your neck of the woods mid afternoon and car thermometer read 100. Seems legit. Very oppressive when I was out and about. Just one 100 degree reading to report from the Rutgers network but a few 99's for highs today.
-
Temps manageable....high dews making the HI nasty. Lots of sun through some slight haze.
-
I just don't understand how the "powers that be" let the CP climate record go to hell and don't seem to care. How difficult is it to properly site a temperature sensor? It was fine where it was at the castle and was much more reflective of the temperature in CP. Frustrating. The topic has been beaten like a rented mule so this will forever be my last comment on the subject. Don, thanks for the stats. as always.

Heat kicks into high gear today and peaks tomorrow and Friday. June rainfall here was 5.51". Got lucky with a rather localized heavier total. Y.T.D. = 23.82. Some places far below these number across the metro area.

Came across this kind of by accident just now. This is "Earthlight" who used to be a regular and great poster on this forum. Wishing him well. Way too young for this. Jeez.
-
Was wondering the same myself earlier today. I think there was a wicked drought ongoing that summer? Someone can correct me on that if needed.
-
Congrats! Let us know how it goes!
-
Keep your expectations in check for this winter. Expect the worst and hope for the best.
-
If sea breeze can kick in right at the beach it will save the day. If west or NW flow prevents it you will cook. Friday looks like the best day to cook. Local sea breeze could save the day on Thursday and / or Saturday.

Rain total yesterday was .33". Total for the week was 3.88". Glad I got lucky with some heavier totals before the heat arrived. Looks like a hot stretch mid and late week. I'm thinking @MJO812 and @nycwinter will be hunkered down until further notice. Really wish CP had the instrumentation back at Belvedere Castle where it was properly sited so we could get a better sense of NYC temperatures. Thankfully we have the NYC Micronet sites across the city. CP bothers me only because that is what the media uses to give temperatures for the city and it is what people hear on new reports etc. Will be interested to see what CP tops out at vs surrounding sites.
-
Same here. Periods of rain all day from late morning until about 5:30. Over now (6:00 p.m.) Will check the total in the morning but rain all day today was not on my bingo card. It was fairly obvious through by looking at the radar this morning that a wet day was incoming across NNJ.
-
Terrible. Wish they would fix it. Takes forever to get logged in if you even can get logged it. Glad I'm not the only one having issues.

Rainfall from overnight and for the week. Click to enlarge

Had .63" here overnight for a total of 3.55" this week. Going to be some winners and losers in the June rainfall tallies.
