SACRUS

67 / 59 . Clear and gorgeous out. Low - mid 80s today. Same maybe a touch warmer tomorrow. Mid - upper 80s Monday, perhaps 90 in the hot areas inland NJ. Overall near normal the next week with a onshore barrage. Wed/THu still watch if rain make it north of DE/NJ but lookig dry. Atlantic ridge hovering off the east coast, ridge back west and northeast. Flow comes around by next weekend with a warm - hot / humid wet overall into the beyond.

1953 sure had its period of strong heat and the record late Aug/early sep heat but there were in some cases 2 week period of cooler too imbedded. 33 90 degress days at EWR and 12 at JFK.

I wish the dataset included Dew ppoint temps

Clouds moving NE--> SW into CT, E-LI clearing on the ENE flow, clouds from the boundary moving W - E in Southern sections.

Wed / THu watch if any of the rain can get north of SNJ.

Side by side EWR overall hotter, JFK had higher max

EWR Max 1983 June: 96 July: 98 Aug: 97 Sep: 99

2010 was overall sustained heat but June max was only 98 / Jul - 103 / Aug - 98 Not sure but think the list is summers with 2 or more months with 100 degree or higher readings.

Happened in June 7/27 after 100 degree heat (48 hours) same this time. The weekend look fantstic cooler at the beaches with this onshore barrage.

Have you been able to play with the EC AI ensembles, yet? I am seeing they are outperforming all other ensmbles.

64 / 61 cloudy. Onshore barrage has commenced and looks sustained through 8/7-8/8 ish. Perhaps some breaking up in the cloud deck later to get most into the low-mid 70s and keeo this the coolest day since the twin day on 6/27. This Weekend looks great. Overall onshore keeps the area near normal with a few below in between the next week. Looking like the main rain is south and heat is north and west. Flow comes around by the 8th with a warm - hot / humid and wetter overall progression. Heat is building west and expanding east by mid month ahead of that the Atlantic ridge keeps the NE coastal area heights elevated / humid. Would target next 90s after the 8th, with only isolated inland areas touching 90 prior (PHL, New Brnswck, etc) 8/1 : Cool - clouds onshore 8/2 - 8/8: Onshore barrage - overall near normal - mainly dry 8/8 - beyond : Flow comes around - warm - hot / humid and wetter overall, heat in the 8/11 period

N/NNE wind down to 68.
