Heat Index already at 100, roughly 30 minutes ahead of yesterday.

[cardinalland]

I think LGA will hit 100 today. The conditions seem right even though it is late.

Long range models including the EPS continue to underestimate the strength of the WAR. Notice how the ridge is getting stronger for next week the closer in we get.

LGA's record high temperature for today is 100°, which was set in 1953.

Thu (tomorrow) if sunny will have no problem surging into mid/upper 90s but you can see the clouds and front pushing into OH and WPA later today we'll need to see how far it advances 

 

[SACRUS]

850s peaking now 20-21C so today has the ingredients to surpass yesterday plus the higher launching pad.

The .01 could be from heavy heavy dew this morning.

How is this heatwave helping the SSTs off the coast for the winter?

[NewYorkweatherfan]

Next week is definitely not going to be hotter than this week, let’s get that straight

Seems to be evolving to a softer version of this heat, low 90s.   850s look to range as forecast now 17 - 20C.  havent seen the 20+ spike on guidance yet for that labor day week period yet.

Maybe the sensor is melting  

[Gravity Wave]

Is it just me or has Tropical Tidbits become a lot slower with releasing the model panels? I don't really care now but it could be very annoying in the winter.
