SACRUS

Kick in the gut MCS about through raining into NJ - clearing continues to build from the NE. We have 3.5 hours to heat up 83/ 70 here

JFK 1995 Rainfall totals May: 3.44 June: 2.73 Jul: 3.37 Aug: 0.22 Sep: 3.41

Up to 83 with the slowly visible sun

Kind of the worst timing and track to spoil part of the day - second half of the day looking more salvageable

77 / 72 here skie s brightening

Uniquely odd clearing building down NE-SW (ish)

76 . 70 steam bath ensuing once we clear out

Rain slowing down about 0.10

Good question this further sw track argued the ridge is building in a bit later so would go with more onshore component eastern sections.

Once the sun comes out (we'll see when) maybe 1/2 itll be off to the races and we'll see if we hve some kate 4/5PM highs. Cloud magnet strikes again

at this trajectory SSE of the mcs lp around the building ridge even Balt may get in the rain/clouds, looks like the low is about to cut south west of NJ

Ridge into the east to open JUl

About 300 hours away. Both the GFS and EURO in relatively tight agreement. Highs mid / upper 80s - and dry. Leading in its humid/warm with storms 2-3 , beyond 5-6 GFS maintaines warm/humis storm potential and euro builds in next wave of heat.

Cloud magnet back and winning out for the next 3-4 hours

3-4 hours and this mess should pass but it adds , for some, to the streak of wet weekend days

Tue - Wed (NJ locations)

Twenty-three people lost their lives.

75 / 67 here clouds early from the MCS that was a bit more widespread and too a more SSE track than some modeled. Clouds this morning , rain in northern areas from storms will limit max heating to low - mid 90s. Areas in CNJ south who avoid rain and clear out sooner may get to the upper 90s. Clearing by noon (3-4 hours. Hot Mon - Wed 85 MB temps >21 c, only wind flow direction and clouds, and maybe park overgrowth will get in the way of the century mark Tue/Wed. Thus may be dealing with lingering debris clouds but there will be a sharp change from upper 90s to low 90s to 80s near the city. Friday onshore flow and scattered showers. We'll see how much we clear out and if we can get a dry weekend 28-29th. Beyond there overall warm - hot / humid and wetter to open with ridge and next heat building north and east towards the 3rd.
