Damn it is disgusting out just walked several blocks. This ranks with some of the hottest nights ever. Now 90/73, but if you held a thermometer out on an avg city sidewalk I think you'd get something even warmer. This stuff plus UHI is very taxing on the body.

Select 90° or above High Temperatures in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Regions through 12 pm:

Allentown: 90°
Atlantic City: 93°
Baltimore: 93°
Boston: 94° (near the daily record)
Concord: 91°
Harrisburg: 90°
Hartford: 91°
Islip: 90° (near the daily record)
Manchester: 91°
New York City-JFK: 91°
New York City-LGA: 94°
New York City-NYC: 91°
Newark: 92°
Norfolk: 90°
Philadelphia: 90°
Providence: 91°
Richmond: 90°
Rochester: 90°
Salisbury: 90°
Sterling: 92°
Teterboro: 92° (near the daily record)
Trenton: 91°
Washington, DC: 90°
Wilmington, DE: 90°

 

What I have noticed on many occasions is that the NYC temperature seems to hit a wall at about 1pm or so capping any further rise. This occurs during various synoptic scenarios and has nothing to do with the onset of a sea breeze. Here, for example, at noon, NYC is right in the thick of things. By 4 pm, however, NYC is only 92 (daily high) while almost every other station, except ISP and JFK with their sea breeze, are 3 or 4 degrees higher. Just look at the hourly readings and you will find that this happens on a majority of days.

There is a possibility that the trees need to be trimmed around the Central Park station.

The site is blocked off because of unrelated construction at the nearby Castle, so the untrimmed shrubbery around the station is currently epic.

The heat might be making me go insane but it actually felt marginally better outside this morning. NAM says the relief will start coming in around 10:00 PM tonight.

Still 86/73 at ISP and FRG, HI 93, still uncomfortable out here.

The ridge next week looks really impressive, and I'm surprised at how benign the NWS is being. No reason to think we won't see more advisories/warnings being hoisted for next Mon-Thurs. 

Even i am getting sick of the hot weather. No relief here yet, 86/75/96. A few dry cool days would be nice.

But a few inches of snow fell at 10,000 feet in Glacier National Park! 

Everything is fine.

Gfs shows 90s for all of next week (Mon-Sat) topping out in the upper 90s on Tue-Wed with dews in the low to mid 70s. The ridge is close to topping 600dm, which would be record breaking.  

Hard to tell but may get a few days with more of a WSW flow this time as well so could be hotter days for Long Island
