The 96 at LGA is a degree off the all time record highest May temperature of 97 degrees set in 1996.

I was about to say this may be the warmest May stretch since that one in 1996.  We all remember how well things turned out after that for the rest of the summer

Awful.  Cold and wet.  We basically continued the pattern from the winter.  I believe for a long stretch many stations weren't even breaking 87 that summer.  PHL and DCA I think also had a record lack of 90 degree days.  NYC didn't hit 90 in June or July for first time in over 100 years.  Of course, that happened again in 2000, 2001, 2003 and I believe another year since

Yeah, very unusual pattern the whole year starting with the historic snowfall. Newark hit 99 on May 20th setting the warmest all time May temperature around the region. June through October was cool and wet with plenty of influence from the tropics. The 99 was the high for the year at Newark only reaching 92 during the summer.

Awful.  Hopefully the summer doesnt end up like that.  Coming off a completely different pattern this year-96 had a weak nina and cold/historic winter... this past winter was anything but cold although we did well in the snowfall dept especially NYC North and East

Im out to hour 9 and alls I see is one isolated shower over bergen county with main activity well to the north

The resolution on Tropical Tidbits isn't as good as the one on Stormivista.

And yes, there is one or two main cells that cross NNJ but I'm not taking that literally.

Ah okay. We shall see. It would suck to have all this heat with no good storms to show for it

I don't know exactly why the storms are forecasted to for the most part go to the North. 

The HRRR shows development over Central PA that dissipates.

Plenty of fuel out there for whatever forms.

just brutally horriblely hot to be working outside in the city right now. May is for 70s not 90s. Luckily graduation was yesterday so it's not as busy today and I can stay inside a good amount. 

I don't think the storms make it this Far East as we are starting to see the marine influence take hold along the coast

Should it hold, LGA’s 80° daily low temperature would be the earliest 80° minimum temperature on record in the New York City metro area by more than two weeks. The earliest such readings are as follows:

EWR: 80°, June 28, 2010
JFK: 81°, June 30, 1959
LGA: 80°, June 4, 1943
NYC: 81°, June 26, 1952
