Newark with the southern wind capping at 88 today. Clouds and storms look numerous tomorrow, already showers into EPA. Monday may be the next shot at 90s ahead of Isaias with 850 temps near 20C.
August has been a bit of a back and forth month the last decade.

84/66 and bright sunshine but clouds on the move from CPA. We'll see if they can dissipate and we can burn some off. Today pending on clouds will see some of the warmer spots approach 90. Sunday the same but there look to be plenty of storms nearby. Sun and Mon will feature a spike of 850MB temps to >18c with high dew points ahead of Isaias so warm and quite wet. Tuesday - Wed AM dealing with Isaias and plenty rain 3 - 5 inches for total storm totals Mon PM - Wed
August opening warm and wet besides a couple of days post Isaias (8/6 - 8/7) that look drier. Rockies ridge will shift towards the plains and heat will eject eat into the GL/MW and then east into the area towards the middle of the second week of August where more sustained heat is possible. Stronger heat looks more possible around or closer to mid month.
7/31 was a fun month tracking heat, storms and TS Fay and now Isaias. August looks to pick up right where Jul is handing off.

Yes been tracking this as differing forecasts of the strength of the Western Atlantic ridge have 850MB temps between 16c and 20c Sun om and Mon evening. Clouds and storms only thing that looks to limit strong heat. But either way Dew point temps will make it real steamy ahead of Isaias. Mosquito season this August..
72/70 with 1.12 in the bucket from overnight storms. Break in the heat today. Saturday pending on clearing could see some of the warmer spots touch 90 followed again Sunday and Monday as 850MB temps >18c arrive. All depends on storms and clouds with Isaias adding a bit more steam too. Whats left of Isaias looks to impact the region between Tue PM (8/3) and Wed AM (8/4)followed by a few days near normal Thu (8/5) and Fri (8/6)
August 7th and beyond:
Continued war and wet pattern with WAR retreating then expanding back later in the period Rockies ridge looks to move east into the plains the second week of August where more heat looks possible. Overall warm and wet and pending on storms and tropics could be very wet totals.
Gotta see when storms hit as the 1AM obs may be the maxes for Friday otherwise mostly 70s tomorrow. Sunday pending on clouds could be sneaky hot with 850MB tems >16c - 18c

outside the warmer spots Saturday (8/2) and Sun (8/3) looks like limited 90 (+) readings the next week, but still warm and wet.. Later into the Second week of August looks to see better chance for more widespread heat perhaps sustained for a bit.
