The WAR continues to beat long range forecast expectations. We keep adding 90 degree or warmer days when the long range forecast looked cooler. The normal Newark split for 8-15 is 84/68. So we will boost the monthly warm departure for the rest of this week.

Old day 10 EPS forecast

We'll see how hot we go the next 3 maybe 4 days starting Wed, pending on timing with front saturday and then stronger system potentially sunday.  But 850s look to peak around 21-22C Thu pm into friday.  

 

Guessing max:
PHL: 97
EWR: 96
TTN: 95
LGA: 94
NYC: 91 (even with the foot of rain)

Beyond there signal for next surge of heat on/around 8/24.

Yes, 23 consecutive days and counting for LGA. Monday was the 46th day this year at LGA with a 70 or warmer minimum. That is the 5th highest number of days by August 13th.

Most LGA days with a 70 degree or warmer minimum through August 13th:

#1...54 days....2010

#2...52 days....2012

#3...51 days....2006

#4...47 days....2013...2005

#5...46 days...2018

 

The total number of 90 degree or warmer days ranks a little higher by August 13th. 26 days through August 13th ranks in 4th place.

#1...38 days....2010

#2...28 days....2002

#3..27 days.....1949

#4..26 days.....2018...2012..1999...1955

I would expect snow threats to continue the NW trend this winter like we saw last winter. This seems to be an on going situation rather then a short term trend.

It's our friend when the teleconnections and temperatures support snow. But record warmth runs the table  when the teleconnections favor a strong WAR like Dec 15 and Feb 18. That's how we have been getting these recent winters with extremes of warmth and snow.

today was the 14th day in a row with a min 70 or higher to start August...the record is 18 set in 1988...NYC has 38 days with a min 70 or higher so far...since 1930 NYC is averaging almost 33 days with a min 70 or higher and a consecutive streak of almost 9....the 1950's and 60's had the lowest amounts...that was probably due to some dry summers...1962 had only 8 such days...2005 had 60///records are 61 in 1906...8 in 1962...
