LGA had a high min of 76... I'm counting it

Need some SW winds. The off the river is killing us.

Its not only the river, I'm currently down 4 degrees from the high today just because of clouds.  zwyts might take this.

I'd be kind of stunned if we didn't hit 90 or 91....But I don't think we will reach Mattie's 93 so there will be multiple winners

[wxmeddler]

Ahh good ol SW winds pull through. 91°F at 4 pm

91...lol

[WEATHER53]

People must consider what any storms/convection/outflow might do to the overnight temperatures. Just a heads up. Probably not drop things too much, but could throw a wrinkle in there. 

Very Good!

[WEATHER53]

Without the "storms" last night, I think we would have held at 74/75. 

No doubt, maybe higher, it was still in low-mid 80's when storms dropped it 5-8.

91....winners in a minute

[Deck Pic]

Congrats MattieG and WxUSAF!!

[Deck Pic]

Also congrats to Mapgirl for 2nd place alone

[WEATHER53]

You are doing it on total departure and not cumulative right. Anotherword, being 3 degrees too low on the predicition one day and 3 degrees too high on the 2nd would be a 6 and Not 0. Right?

[WxUSAF]

Woot!  Thanks Matt.

-6 won....the greens were not as fast as I thought

[mappy]

Woohoo! Who wants to share first when I can be second all by myself

Wow...first guess wasn't too shabby, and it took a damn good (and lucky) score to beat a lot of very good numbers! I had a feeling the heat wouldn't live up to the initial expectations, which is why I went low to start and didn't adjust.

First-time win for me, I believe. Nice.

Very fitting for our forum's biggest warmista to win a heat wave contest Congrats!

 

and you too WxUSAF.

[DDweatherman]

A good laugh, Yoda you get 1 username change and I say you change it to Yoda*

Good job all involved and to meddler for the spreadsheet. Missed this one, hope to be in the next contest.

Thanks!

I like warm, but big heat is a bit much, so I'm never unhappy if we busy low on a heat wave.

Cold sucks, though.

Thanks to Matt and wxmeddler for the contest and results.

I at least salvaged a little dignity with the win today.
