Buffalo is closing in on their longest 90 degree day streak set in 1988. Newark would need 20 consecutive days to equal their record also set in 1988.

This is going to be an impressive ridge expansion and heatwave for a large part of the country.

Updated for the 3.99 at Bridgeport on July 3rd.

The Euro and EPS forecast of the warmest temperatures of July in around 10 days matches recent climatology. 9 out of the last 10 years reached at least 98 degrees for the monthly high at EWR or LGA. The monthly high occurred between the 18th and 25th during 7 out of the last 10 years. It will be interesting to see if one-or more of our stations can reach 100 degrees like LGA did on 7-21-19. July monthly maximum temperature at EWR or LGA and date 7-21-19........100 7-1-18...........98 7-20-17.........98 7-23/25-16....99 7-19-15..........98 7-2-14............96 7-18-13..........101 7-18-12..........104 7-22-11..........108 7-6-10............103

That ridge forecast is even stronger than when LGA reached 100 on 7-21-19.

It figures that we would start getting storm tracks like this once July came around.

Plenty of high octane fuel in the source region.

Our first heatwave of 3 days or more will be late this year. Each time we get a warm up its interrupted by a backdoor cold front or onshore flow. So we get numerous 1 and 2 day events.

High pressure keeps finding a way to build east of New England.

I have seen circular outflow on radars in other parts of the country. But this may be the first that I can recall around this area.

That’s a pretty cool circular outflow pattern.

Meanwhile, the marine layer is working west near the Hamptons.

Figures that ISP would get its first 90 this year on a NE wind.

This could be a new record for backdoor cold fronts from late May into early July.
