Don, does the August 15-20 period look particularly hot, any tropical activity? Thanks.

What time frame are we looking at? Interested in August 15-20 because planning to be in AC and NYC.

Thanks Don. I knew DC humidity was worse than anything I experienced growing up here in 1980s and 1990s. August will be a refreshing start but don’t know what second half will bring.

These heat waves are brutal with these high dew points and humidity. Everyone who left Florida for Past heat waves have not been as oppressive with these high dewpoints. The Northeast has become Florida-like in the summer. You can call it anything you want but the climate has changed for the worse and our weather is miserable in July.

Do we have any idea about the dew points and humidity back then? I was 10 years old living in DC area in 1988 and remember a hot summer but nothing like the uncomfortable humidities today.

So second half of August looks hot now? Was hoping for humidity and heat to back off for NYC trip August 15.

Don, looking ahead to August, is there any respite from the heat and humidity? Seems that July has been brutal in recent years with a break in August and then return to hot weather in September.

No sign of a sea breeze? I loved taking LIRR out to Long Beach on weekends about ten years ago but now I’m not sure I could stomach the heat and humidity.

Does anyone have a graphic on rising humidity levels over past 40 years? These summers in Mid-Atlantic and Northeast have become Florida-like and much more unbearable than the 1980s when I was growing up.

Wow AccuWeather is going for a cold first half of April for the East Coast. What are you seeing for NYC down to DC?

Hope next week is still looking mild in NYC as I am planning a trip there. Guess we won’t get that March snow Don.

But last year and this year the long range ensembles modeled monster snowfall. This season already overachieved in my book but this was supposed to be an awesome pattern.

I think it was SREF that came out of the Jan. 25,2000 forecast debacle.

Is there any chance of a Boxing Day blizzard error like occurred in 2010 when models brought storm back late?

I have heard three feet of snow fell in NOVA in 1772 storm. Wonder how 2010 and 2016 compared with 28 inches in many areas and 32 at Dulles.
