Will - Rutgers Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 This cell in Hunterdon County is passing right over me and the biggest action is just to my south. We're only getting some sprinkles but the lightning is frequent, vivid, and rather dramatic, and totally unobscured by rain. It's all coming out of a towering anvil cloud.

With all this CAPE, it doesn't take much to get towering clouds, and therefore charge separation and lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkyfork Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Seems like the pattern is repeating to some degree from late June to ealry July before the first WAR expansion July 4th. Should see things progress 7/21 - 7/27 as warm/humid and wet. Looks overall above normal. It'll be interesting to time the next WAR expansion - guidance has been hinting some of the heat out west spills east into the Plains and troughing into the NW may lead to another linkage of the w ridge and WAR should we get the expansion early august. starting monday the 18z gfs shows a string of 70f dewpoint days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 On the hottest day in Central Park history -- July 9, 1936, what were the dew point temperatures that day? Probably pretty low because that heat was aided by the Dust Bowl and the poor farming practices that largely contributed to that event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 my area had a light shower that wet the ground late last evening...It felt like a steam bath after that...my gut feeling is we see some severe storms later in the day...Where they develop is the question?...

SACRUS Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Plenty of clouds and showers will certainly limit heating a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 More/bigger breaks in the clouds will allow for some decent heating the next 2 - 3 hours. Still may get some mid, perhaos upper 90s for many in the area. Outside chance tomorrow for some of the hotter spots then we have temps closer to normal mon/tue before more humid flow develops by wed - fri.

The other years you listed with the exception of 1991, were also top ten. Im in Travis which is west shore across the river from new jersey.

Im in Travis which is west shore across the river from new jersey. Thanks, Don. We were in Annadale for a number of years between Brooklyn and NJ. We'll see how the last 10 days progress, but we should remain overall above normal by way of humid flow and higher mins more so than maxes.

jm1220 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It's awful even down here on the immediate shore. The temp is probably a few degrees behind most other places, but the humidity is making up for it. It's atrocious outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
