It's interesting that temps this August are turning out somewhat like last August. Just like last August, Newark only

made it to 95 degrees at the beginning of the month. My guess is that we are finished with the

real hot temperatures of 95 and above. The only question now is will we just see future readings

like last August and September top out in the upper 80's on occasion or do we get to 90 degrees

again in the hotspots like Newark?

We have a good shot to hit 90 Friday and Saturday.

Some more clouds nearby the coast today but otherwise a very nice day in the low and mid 80s. Great stretch of weather. Still looks warmer as we head towards the wekend and into the closing week of August. Isaac may muddy up the weather the end of next week thu - sat but still plenty of time to see how things progress.

both 1957 and 2002 had low 90's in September for the max...This is what I think we will see in September this year for a day or two...No doubt we will see some heat before the Summer is over...95 for Newark sounds right and 92 for Central Park...TWT...

I think the heat could be exaggerated. May get some warmer weather, but I just don't see extreme heat or many 90s. Some of that heat may try to work east, but fronts could save the day.

The 18z GFS also has a torrid end to August with 20C 850s over the region:

Despite the cooler conditions over the center of the country so far this month, all it takes is for the upper ridge

to build back over the extreme drought areas and the heat builds right back.

It does take the right alignment, and the models don't have this lasting long anyway. Back to just warm by day 10.

I doubt the heat lasts long as the northern stream may get a front in, as you say, but I do think we'll witness 2-3 more days of 90s for the major NYC/PHL stations. It almost always occur that we have a cool-down in late August and then warm back up around Labor Day/1st day of school. My classroom is air conditioned at my new school in Brooklyn, thankfully.

Possible that PHL has 3 more because they run as one of the hotter stations. Hopefully this will be the last 90s chance.
