60 / 57 cloudy and maybe some pokes of sun through the day which should be mainly dry outside som mist/drizzle. Upper 60s - low 70s. Clouds / heavier rain Friday pm into the night and warmer more southerly flow mid 70s. Saturday scattered storms and rain throughout the day. Finally clearing pout Sunday - we'll see how sunny it can get and staying near or below 70. Step up warmup next week to normal and above by the 5th - onshore flow should keep any heat / 90s inland into the warmer spots with ULL off shore undercutting the ridge and keeping the coastal areas in an easterly component. Overall, warmer into the 9th and beyond. Heat building into the plains and Midwest should come east in dribs and drabs until the ED ride establishes by mid month. 5/29 - 5/31 : Wet 1- 1.5 inches additional 6/1 - 6/4 : Nearer normal overall and dry 6/5 - 6/8 : Above normal - warmer-hot inland with onshore tendency along the coast 6/9 - beyond : Overall warmer - heat limited to inland/ North and west of the coast

Its happened before with the down sloping or even a SW wind with the right airmass in place which would be 850MB >16-17C. The park is a whole another story but regardless, the flow looks to be with an easterly component and with that the heat would be focused inland.

Emerging more prominently last night, that onshore tendency - EUro cuts off the trough under the ridge into the sotheast and gfs looks like the eps. We have seen this progression much of the last 5-7 years. Heat takes a week or so to get past inland areas. overall ridging and much warmer into the area.

58 / 53 cloudy light rain. Rain Wed - Sat totaling 1.00 - 2.40 in the highest locations with the heaviest in 2 timeframes today , break Thursday with mainly light rain and then Friday evening into Saturday with the heaviest portion. Clouds clear on Sunday. Warmth and heights rising into the east - still a tendency coming around to past June heat periods with onshore flow keeping the warmest - hottest west of the coast / inland starting on / around 6/5. Overall warmer with chance first chance of heat first inland then area into the second week 9th. Should also be drier but remain with rain chances from storms.

Today's highs LGA: 76 EWR: 76 TEB: 76 New Brnswck: 75 ISP: 75 NYC: 74 PHL: 74 BLM: 73 JFK: 73 ACY: 72 TTN: 72

Up to 75 with sun would have hit 80.

Up to 72 with in between sun

Euro still not updating but is the strongest with the ridge - closer to the Canadian as we move into a much warmer progression. Prior years had the ridge axis and center a bit more north to cause onshore, we'll see if that is mitigated with a further south location. 6/3 - 6/5 below - 6/5 and beyond could deliver the first 'heat' of the seaosn.

Much of this is focused on Wed and Fri evening, but suspect Saturday will be wetter and get the area closer to 1.5 - 2.00

Records: Highs: EWR: 97 (1965) NYC: 96 (1880) record early season heatwave continued on LGA: 92 (1965) JFK: 86 (1985) Lows: EWR: 43 (1967) NYC: 41 (1961) LGA: 41 (1961) JFK: 42 (1961) Historical: 1771: In Virginia, a wall of water came roaring down the James River Valley following ten to twelve days of intense rain.

The same thunderstorm complex produced a wind gust to 122 mph at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio. 2001: This day brought one of the most destructive and widespread windstorms to much of Oklahoma and north Texas in recent memory.

Several non-tornadic wind reports in excess of 100 mph were recorded, and it took nearly a week to restore power to all of the affected areas

Park was 2-4 cooler the prior 3 days and the coolest in the region 2 of those days. Another 1 -2 inches of rain should add to the overgrowth and mute any 90 degree readings there till mid June while some other site get there 6/5 - 6/15.

62 / 54, another hour or so before clouds return and for the most part dont depart till Sunday. Another 100 - 120 hours of mostly cloudy conditions. What would amount to 10 of 12 days mostly cloudy going back to 5/20 what a stretch for the fans of clouds . Light rain Wed / Thu 0.25 - 0.50 in southern sections. Perhaps a reprieve from the rain Friday but still looks mainly cloudy before trough movesinto the northeast with storms and some heavier rains Fri overnight into Saturday (1.00 - 2.00). Sunday dries out and trough slowly moves out by the 4th. 6/5 and beyond Much warmer as heights rise with first chance at heat in the warmer spots (Park may be a while to dry out).

Happy memorial day and thanks to all who have served or are swrving 59 / 47 off a chilly low of 46. The rut is over. The 96+ hours of clouds, cool, showers and chill has ended with partly to mostly sunny (staying that) and low to mid 70s. We'll have a brief reprieve before the next system moves in later tomorrow with another 72 hours of clouds and showers later Tue - Thursday. Any breaks in the clouds tomorrow will push temps approaching 80 in the warm spots but unlikely as clouds may arrive by mid morning. 0.25 - 0.50 Tue - Thu with most falling Wednesday afternoon / night. Friday clear our and warm up upper 70s / low 80s. Trough send next front through this coming Saturday which could see light rain/showers perhaps a storm. Trough slowly fills out and a much warmer - hot look 6/5 - beyond. Euro the warmer but GFS also showing a much overall warmer (above normal) in the period and beyond). Time will tell. For here this memorial day weekend was one of the coolest cloudiest - saved by brief stretches of sun breaking out Sat and Sun today from a complete cloud out.

Would watch 6/5 period for first 90 - the park maybe delayed with the wetness there and growth.
