ISP, and places south & east were in a sea breeze most of the day. Most stations out east barely made it out of the low 80's. My high was only 86 before the sea breeze. The stations are not off at all lol FOK was only 81
-
84 here, high of 86. NYC might have fallen just short of 90 today. Looking hotter as we head into the week, NYC could have its first heatwave of the year. Wednesday may be the hottest for those closest to the coast with some offshore flow early in the day.
-
I noticed this too. Black soot floating on top of the water in the pool filter intake, and it only occurs after it rains. Not sure what it is
-
Non stop lightning! Torrential rains, some gusts up to 35mph
-
You can barely make out the surface over NJ and the Delmarva with upper level smoke that thick. On a clear day, you can easily see surface features such as the shore. An example of a mostly clear day back in Sep 2019:
-
Love how most of the smoke went around us. It's mostly elevated, but the RAP has the smoke to our west moving over the area tomorrow. Skies will be noticeably gray tomorrow

4th longest streak of 80+ days came to an end yesterday. It's been more uncomfortably humid this past July than most
-
It was 56 degrees at ISP on this day just 2 years ago in 2021 50's in July aren't that abnormal. Used to have as many sub 60 degree nights as 90 degree days
-
Nice lightning storm to my south!
-
Gusting to about 35mph, moderate rain still very windy. Cool orange skies
-
Max of 89 today, currently 88/75, feels like 98 Only 2 90 degree days on the year. Reiterating a point made earlier, while temperatures haven't been impressive at all, the dew points make up for it to an extent. Heat indices here have been 95-105
-
Just a dewpoint spike here. Temp still 89-90, actually was able to hit 90.1 even after the sea breeze. Feels hotter today, yesterday's breezy conditions helped a lot
-
Maxed at 89.2 before the sea breeze front came through. Really struggling to hit 90 out here. Dewpoint is up by 2 but temp still hovering around 89
-
86/74 Heat Index: 97 Maybe we can hit 90 before the sea breeze. Not much of a breeze at all today compared to yesterday
-
Current temps EWR: 94 LGA: 94 NYC: 90 JFK: 89
-
88/77 Heat index of 99
-
Yesterday when hi-res models like the HRRR and GEM-LAM were not bullish on the heat, that's a sign. Yesterday the NWS had 92 for here today, now down 89 which will be closer to reality. Not sure what they were seeing
-
Saturday might be the hottest day for the south shore when winds go westerly in the afternoon, as long as clouds and storms hold off.
-
The GEM-LAM spitting out 85 for FOK and 95 for LGA says it all. N&W parts of LI will be an absolute inferno tomorrow, at least it'll be breezy
-
Tomorrow will feature oppressive dew points in the mid 70's with slightly lower DPs along the I95 corridor where mixing and temperatures are expected to be their greatest. Strong onshore flow and breezy conditions tomorrow will keep most of Long Island below 90 at the expense of higher humidity. Some storms will fire to the NW and will make their way east in the afternoon Breezy conditions tomorrow will make the heat slightly more bearable.

Found this interesting. ISP has hit 80° or above 25 days in a row now, today will be 26, which is the 6th longest streak on record. By Saturday, it will be at least 31 days. That'll make it tied with last year for 4th place. Last year's would have been the longest on record with 65 days in a row, however, just one day, August 1st, 2022, was below 80°. It's interesting that we have a streak this year this long considering there was only one 90 degree day with a max of 91°. All other years had heat 95°+.

What a difference this July is compared to last July. We couldn't buy a single rain shower last summer, took almost an entire summer to reach 1" of rain. Downpour after downpour here. About 5" in just the past week
-
Only the middle section of the country has been below normal. 2 different data sets below. NYC is +2.3 for July so far. No 95+ heat yet, but plenty of days near 90 and high dews has made us above normal.
-
Smokey gray skies again
-
ISP over 3" now! Maybe they get to 5", 6" today? If it keeps raining like this
