The Euro has three waves of low pressure over the next 10 days as the WAR will be too strong

to allow the fronts from the west to clear the coast. The GFS has a similar pattern with a very

moist flow and high dewpoints for the next 10 days. Warm daily mins should be the main

contribution to above normal temps. Any days with enough sun could wind up in the mid

to upper 80's.

At least that's better than what we had in the past 72 hours. :)

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?...

my gut feeling turned out to be gas...I'm getting a shower now and had some lightning before...

I am really thinking this week ((7/21 - 7/27) will work out much like the end of june/early July period  where we were on the east side of the trough/west side of WAR in the a steamy but potentially wet pattern.  Thu-Fri could be warm if enough sun is oute.  Beyond there, most guidance does push the trough through between 7/28 and 7/30 before emerging WAR (again)....

With the temperature holding at 82° at NYC at 11:51 pm, it appears extremely likely that July 18-20, 2013 saw 3 consecutive days with a minimum temperature of 80° or above in NYC. That ties the record for most consecutive low temperatures at or above 80°. The only other times that occurred was August 9-11, 1896 and July 5-7, 1908. FWIW, the earliest 80° minimum temperature occurred on June 26, 1952. The latest occurred on August 15 in 1985 and 1988.

Definitely one of the more impressive heatwaves in my lifetime. We really didn't get that bonafide 100 degree heat throughout the area, but I feel that the high minimums into the mid 80s contribute more to the oppressiveness factor than a day that tops out at 104, but with a minimum  in the mid 70s. There's just no relief whatsoever...and I know first hand because my days start out at 4 am on the construction sites. Unfortunately this week I got stuck working at the oil refinery in Linden. Holly hell was it hot out there...

the minimum averaged 79.0 for the seven days...It broke the record of 78.9 set in 1896...imagime living back then with no ac or electric fans...

I can't. lol. Our power went out on Thursday night for about 5 hours and that was enough for me. The humidity just sucks the life out of you. I've had no ac nights in Phoenix, AZ in the summer, but it just doesn't compare to the humidity we get on the east coast.

great find...1896 was a wild year weatherwise in NYC...

 

It looks like the ridge really locked in right over the area creating the long heat wave that August 4-13. Conditions were

also very dry that month especially just to our west over PA. That was likely the longest official heat wave

of the 19th century in NYC. Does you pre Central Park data show any really long heat waves earlier than the

1870's?

It's pretty impressive to see any station in the Northeast with a +8 through the first 20 days of July.

Lets see if we can tack on another (8th in a row) 90 degree day for most spots.  Dewpoints down into the 60's.

 

11Am roundup:

 

TEB: 83

NYC: 81

EWR: 85

LGA: 81

JFK:  84

ISP:  81

New Bnswk: 85

BLM: 80

TTN:  83

 

I am thinking that we could have approached or broken the record at some sites from 2005-2013 if we had drier conditions of previous years.

2012, 2010, 2006 I think NYC missed longer streaks  by the usual 89 readings on several occasions.  Same in 1988.  Tomorrow looks to break the streak for many as clouds and storms/rain will be likely mon - wed.  Although with enough sun and less rain i could see some scattered 90 degree readings within these days.  Otherwise it's mianly mid to upper 80s and increasing humidity by tue evening.   Better shot at more widespread 90 degree readings  thu/sat (7/25 - 7/27) ahead of the cold front.
