  1. I work in a major skyscraper and our AC was turned down yesterday because of a request from the city. It sucked for me but hopefully there are enough power saving steps being taken by big consumers to minimize blackout chances.
  2. Those training storms in PA are puking rain. Radar indicating over 7" near Titusville.
  3. GFS was a few degrees too warm most locations with temp and a few degrees too low with dews. Makes sense.
  4. Those statements aren't necessarily contradictory. Euro was very warm with the 850 temps 2 days ago.
  5. The ultimate nightmare would be a derecho knocking out power the night before the 2 hottest days of the summer. At least Manhattan shouldn't have any problems.
  6. 12z Euro backed down somewhat on the 850s for Saturday and Sunday.
  7. Gross outside. The NAM and HRRR agree that the city gets whacked by heavy rain in the midnight-2:00 AM timeframe.
  8. Euro looks about equally hot as far as 850s are concerned but relief arrives late Monday as opposed to Tuesday on the last few runs.
  9. Good point, after the past few years I've been conditioned to assume that major heat is usually coupled with high humidity.
  10. Impressive that the city managed to get to 106 after only starting at 77.
  11. Yeah 100/66 seems way more realistic than 95/80. It's extremely hard to get the air temperature that high with DPs at that level.
  12. 12z GFS remains less bullish with DPs. At 18z Saturday the metro is right at 100 but the 66-68 degree dewpoint keeps the heat index around 105 rather than 110+.
  13. The 6z GFS is a lot less aggressive with dews, low to mid 70s across the area. The 6z also cuts the worst heat off after Saturday, I'm interested to see if that becomes a trend or if its just a blip.
  14. Exact temps depend on the model but dews will be lower.
  15. Yeah this is looking more like a Friday-Monday event rather than Thursday-Sunday. The 12z suite has relief arriving in the Tuesday-Wednesday timeframe.
  16. I'm not buying the extreme heat until it shows up inside 100 hours. I'm also rooting for no 95+ temps so that we have a shot at a top 5 hottest July without any extreme heat, which would be very impressive.
  17. It's extremely pronounced on the anomaly maps. The entire region can be below average and the cities will be bright red, and that's with 1981-2010 averages.
  18. The rain in PA means business. Over 1 inch in 18 minutes in Allentown.
  19. Kind of looks like last summer in that the highest departures were to our north.
