Dennis' Storm Track and other info.- NOAA.Gov.-N.H.C. 2005 - Hurricane Dennis landed near Pensacola, Florida as a category 3 storm. Maximum sustained winds at the time of landfall were near 120 mph.

71 / 69 cloudy. Clouds today break the heatwave keeping it in 80s / 70s. Clouds linger into Friday with front slow as molasses clearing the coast and the W. Atlantic Ridge anchored off shore. The weekend looks to be mainly dry with warm/humid mainly 80s with some of the hotter and sunnieest locations maybe touching 90 on Sat, but very limited. Hotter by Tue/Wed next week / mid month. Overall higher heights routinely expanding W/ Atlantic Ridge and western heat flowing / expanding and building north and east. 7/10 - 7/11 : Storms / clouds cooler 7/12 - 7/14 : Warm/humid limited 90s 7/15 - beyond : Hotter overall

S/W areas looking like prime target / focus

EWR at 95

90 / 68 here

88/ 70

85 / 72 running about 5 degrees slower than yesterday.

Depends on the area - EWR far better for urban/ city residents. New Brunswick a good baseline for those in suburbia (NJ). The reasl issue is that the media/others use NYC (central park) as the reference that skews perception. Mostly an issue for weather and historical enthusiasts. I dont think either is a sensor or calibration issue and both reflect their environment fine.

5 in Central park - distorting perception for NYC heat when used as the center point for all NYC in general.
