The Nam and GFS only shows around 25kts of effective shear tomorrow afternoon and evening. Not enough for organized severe.

I'll take a quick downpour just to knock down the temps. It's already a steambath out there anyway, might as well have a cooler steambath.

H5 tells the tale. Lower than normal heights in the Mid-west / Southeast with a major positive height anomaly at H5 over New England.

The pattern doesn't support continued heat. In fact new Euro weeklies show near to below normal temps starting next week for 4 straight weeks . Not one week above normal.

87/79, these dews are just insane.  My dew on my home station is now higher than it was when Irene hit.

 

All we need is to maintain a dewpoint of 72 during peak heating for a 100 degree temperature to yield a HX of 110.

Pending on rain next week 7/21 - 7/27 will likely finish above normal.  Overall warm/humid pattern (less heat / 90 degree days) next week.

Records 7/19

 

 

NYC: 102 (1977)

EWR: 100 (1999, 1977)

LGA: 99 (1977)

JFK: 97 (1963)

 

 

EWR and LGA have a high chance of breaking that record tomorrow.

JFK will be very close because there is a definite strong see breeze on the models.

NYC has no chance.

 

NYC will make a run but likely come up short.  any clouds or popo storms would hurt the others as well, but agree we get 3 of 4 records today 4th straight year of record July heat.

It looks like we are in moist flow with some unsettled weather, most of next week. Latest GFS and Euro bring back dews 70+ by Tuesday.

Certainly not as hot but the flow argues humid/warm but also wet.  Pending on how much rain/clouds we get I suspect next week is also above normal.  7/28 - 8/3 probably the same but warmer towards 8/2 as it is looking now.

Barring any thunderstorms that bring the minimum temperature for NYC below this morning's figure of 83°, today could mark only the 6th day on record that NYC had a minimum temperature of 83° or higher. The five dates with such high minimum temperatures are:

 

July 6, 1999: 83°

July 15, 1995: 84°

August 2, 2006: 83°

July 22, 2011: 84°

July 23, 2011: 83°

 

All of those dates with the exception of August 2, 2006 saw the temperature rise to 100° or higher. On August 2, 2006, the mercury reached 97°.

 

Barring cooling thunderstorms that would bring the minimum temperature below 80°, July 18-19, 2013 would mark only the 7th occasion on which consecutive days saw minimum readings at or above 80°. The six occasions on which there were consecutive 80° minimum temperatures are:

 

August 8-9, 1980

August 14-15, 1988

July 5-6, 1999

July 3-4, 2002

July 6-7, 2010

July 22-23, 2011

NYC began the transformation during the cival war, but it was always a densley populated area. The birth of the industrial age played a large role. The 1870's also saw the beginning of a large uptick in foreign immigration. Construction began on the Brooklyn Bridge on January 3, 1870. Hard to believe that the bridge was built almost as long ago as the end of the Cival war and before automobilies were invented. Here is a depiction of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn circa 1870's

Not to drag this off topic but many NYC residents don't realize just how historical the land is in which they walk on. For whatever reason the British passed by New York during the war of 1812 on their way to Washington DC. Had a major battle taken place it could have greatly altered the outcome of what the city is today. Many people today argue that the wall from Wall Street came from an actual defense wall that was built in the 1600's to keep intruders out. The wall started at Pearl Street, which was the shoreline at that time, crossing the Indian path Broadway and ending at the other shoreline (today's Trinity Place), where it took a turn south and ran along the shore until it ended at the old fort.

We aren't expecting pop up showers but its always possible in these steamy setups.

Today's sea breeze is gonna be much stronger. Offshore buoys are already at 15 knots and are progged to increase to 20-25 knots by noon with higher gusts.

I don't think JFK gets nearly as high as yesterday. Maybe low 90s. But with that plus the horrible humidity, the HI may still be 100+.
