No 100 degree days at LGA in 1988, 1987 nor 1994
-
1994 continued hot through July and August was close to normal for those west of the City - similar to 2024 i assume where onshore prohibited the heat from extending into eastern sections AT EWR there were 39 90 degree days. AT LGA 26 and NYC: 18 It also happened in 1987
-
Was much more pronounced west of the city during that June heatwave where EWR and C/N NJ hit 90 (9 of 10 days) with maxes of 100, 97, 98,99, 98 so the folks west of there felt it.

You should preface that with Central park in NYC - LGA hit 100 in June in 2021 (6/30).

Thu night into Fri morning
-
Astonishingly we had similar progression with the signal for the same period, last year which lead to the strong heat in NJ 6/20 - 6/27. The center of the ridge will be key as you detail if those east of NJ continue with the recent tendency for onshore or if its full blast westrlry
