Still working with 850 MB temps >15c for most part. Today and tomorrow, pending on sun, could get the warmer / drier spots to 90, more into CNJ/NE NJ usual spots before the cooler air arrives later Thu. While these next two days may over perform on high temps, the weekend could have a tendency to cloud up and under perform, perhaps monday and tuesday as well.

More clearing into NNJ/ EWR/ NYC LI etc now http://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/site/imgs/vis_nj_anim.gif

Would not surprise me if sat / sun are more cloudy and spotty showers with cut off over the northeast.

81/64. Partly Sunny but some clouds moving into N-NJ/NYC, front is nearby just offshore lingering as the Western Atlantic Ridge is slow to retreat. Most folks end the 90s / streak with mid 80s today but some of the warmer spots could grb another 90. Thu (8/11) same theme perhaps the warmer/drier spots can get to 90 / low 90s but otherwise more normalish highs in the mid 80s. Fri (8/12) through the weekend Sat (8/13) and Sun (8/14) much cooler as trough cuts off and ULL moves in up and over the northeast with a N/NNE flow brining down some nice cool canadian air. Can there be some spotty showers and more clouds than currently projected, I think so, we'll see. Caught between two ridges as trough backs into the GL, Rockies / Plains Ridge moves to the west coast, W. A R moves into the Central Atalantic and the EC caught between. Should see continued NE/ Easterly flow so humidity increases and as lows mov along the trough chances for rain Tue (8/16) and Wed (8/17). Beyond: The Western Atlantic Ridge is building west by the end of next week Fri (8/19) and it should yield much ore humid / warmer pattern by next weekend Sat (8/20). Beyond there an overall warm - hot finish the last 10 dys of the month. Tropics to be watched, especially home brewed along EC.

Just hit 90 before 10AM here. Clouds /storms could get in the way of this being the hottest day of the summer so far for a few folks.

88 / 73 off with a real head start today. More mid/upper 90s and potential century mark in the warm spots. More pop up storms ahead of the main front that comes Wed (8/10). Depending on the timing of the front and any widespread storms, Wed could continue the heat for some or many. Beyond that it does look to clear Thu (8/11) by the afternoon and perhaps if its sunny enough, one sneaky 90 degree day before it cools back to regular mid august temps. The weekend looks dry/ and gorgeous 80s for most a trough builds in. Still think we need to watch a ULL closing off or cutting off but perhaps its uneventful and / or north of the area. Beyond that caught between two ridges Rockies / Plains ridge refires along the WC as the Western Atlantic Ridge builds west by Wed (8/17). Look for more southerly, perhaps humid onshore flow to develop then. Warm / humid and what seems like more Miami style pop storms that could deliver some drenchers. Perhaps some lows or tropical origin moisture enhances the storms. Way beyond looks overall warm - hot to close the last 10 days of the month.

Had to goto Key West for similar temperature and dew point temperature 88 / 76 there.

You can almost smell the drencher coming - it's inevitable.
