NYCweatherNOW Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 7 hours ago, weathermedic said: Dew point 72 here. Feels sticky to me. Yes it was a little sticky but much better than last year. I’m sure you guys remember last year, it was humid and hot every day almost. It was the worst summer ever. Very nice out right now 73 and partly cloudy. The rain that was supposed to come in today disappeared completely. It’s been rather dry this summer with less humidity which entails a nice summer in my opinion, plenty of beach days and amazing bbq weather. Enjoy your day guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 The epic Pacific firehose jet just won’t let up. This time it was nearly forced up to the Arctic circle with record rains in Nome,Alaska. https://mobile.twitter.com/AlaskaWx/status/1157502080392712192 There it is: Nome, Alaska, with one of the longest climate records in the state (since 1907) sets all-time 24 hour precipitation record: 10pm AKDT Thursday to 8pm Friday rainfall 2.43" (61.7mm) breaks previous record 2.38" (60.5mm) Aug 8-9, 1956. https://mobile.twitter.com/AlaskaWx/status/1157352074373259264 Remember the atmospheric river forecast from a few days ago? It's here: Nome received 2.09" (53.1mm) in 12-hours between 10pm Thursday & 10am Friday. The greatest 24-hour rainfall at Nome is 2.38" (60.5mm) Aug 8-9, 1956. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Stagant flow today , so a bit sticky but overall we should continue the theme of nice weekends this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Looking ahead 8/3 - 8/9 : will continue the near normal / bit warmer regime we've been in, teetering on 90 (upper 80s) and with enough sun, some spots push 90. 8/9 - 8/16 : Trough / wet and likely at or below normal. I still think the stronger heat will be delayed not denied following the progression after the EU heat just a bit delayed. we'll track the cooldown and see how cool we get. Already it is looking more next weekend than Thu as models had been initially honing in on. Perhaps it adjusts over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 The duration of that eventual Northeast trough may come down to the MJO. The MJO is finally becoming active again. Phase 4 in August favors a trough over the region. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/MJO/CLIVAR/ecmm.shtml https://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/clisys/mjo/composite.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phase 4 in August favors a trough over the region. The WAR is really pushed aside on the EPS later next week. Wonder whether the signal for the warmer second half of August/early September comes after the trough shifts away from the East Coast . Certainly seems the frequency of excessive rainfall has been coming dow a bit recently. Wondering if it is now too late to build extreme, long lasting heat as we are passing the climo peak heat period and the days continue to shorten. However, the warmth of the Atlantic is impresssive. Will be interesting to see how long the duration of the Northeast trough remains once it sets up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably too early to speculate, but I am hoping it calms down some before the winter. That raging PAC jet decimated our snow weenie dreams last year....

CIK62 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Long lasting heat is possible in late summer as witnessed by our longest heatwave ever, which began Aug. 23 and lasted 12 days in 1953. Avg. high about 96 degrees. Meanwhile August looks boring, with more sinking air over the Atlantic showing up now, than in earlier projections.

It's mind-boggling how often that radar goes down. They have a serious problem and Mount Holly should be embarrassed about how unreliable that radar is. Upton's radar, on the other hand, never goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tekken_Guy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Forecast for next week: Monday will be a gorgeous sunny day. Wednesday looks wet and icky. Tuesday is still a toss up although the models have begun trending towards the wet side today. Still too early for a definitive forecast on Thursday or Friday.
