75/62 ESE wind. Very California like the next 24 - 36 hours before the heat arrives. Low 80s today and very pleasant. Dryer the last few days should help with temps over performing on sunny days. Starting Friday and id expect temps to come up friday as flow goes more SW by the afternoon and inland areas reach 90, coastal/metro areas may be close 88/89's.
7/18 - 7/25: The hazy hot and humid weather arrives. ECM peaking 850MB temps >16c through the period, peaking Sun PM (7/19) - Wed (7/22), coupled with high dewpoints equal excessive heat warnings and temps mid -upper 90s. Only limiting factor for 100 in EWR, LGA, JFK is clouds in the hotter spots Sun/Mon. Storms possible after daytime heating Tue /Wed. Tuesday could feature more southerly flow for a time but still looks hot enough to get to 90 and continue the heatwave.
Western Atlantic Ridge building west by 7/25 in the long rage offering more above normal/ steamy temps. Way out there we'll see if the ridge shifts west and we increase storms and cool down a bit towards the end of the month. Overall looking warm into August.
