wdrag Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Good Monday morning, No topic yet for late today, but still looks pretty good to me for isolated svr 4P-10P. SPC has nothing for most of our area so will await their 13z update before a possible topic post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Morning thoughts... In the wake of yesterday’s rainfall, the temperature fell to the coolest levels since near mid-June in parts of the region. At New York City, the temperature fell to 64 degrees, its coolest figure since June 17 when the temperature fell to 60 degrees. At Newark, the temperature fell to 64 degrees. The last time it was at least as cool there was on June 18 when the temperature dropped to 64 degrees. After a cool start, temperatures will reach the upper 70s and lower 80s across the region today. Parts of the region could see some thunderstorms during the afternoon or evening hours. Out west, intense heat will again topple records in parts of California, Arizona and Nevada. Death Valley reached 130 degrees yesterday. That smashed the August monthly record of 127 degrees, which was set on August 12, 1933 and tied on August 3, 1993 and August 1, 2017. That was also Death Valley’s hottest temperature since July 13, 1913 when the mercury reached 131 degrees. However, there are questions about the accuracy of the July 1913 temperatures, which were far above what would have been expected from temperatures reported on the same dates elsewhere in the region. https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/an-investigation-of-death-valleys-134f-world-temperature-record.html Unlike in July 1913, many areas in the Southwest recorded daily and even monthly record high temperatures. One location recorded an all-time high temperature. In short, yesterday’s 130-degree temperature could have become the world’s highest reliably recorded temperature on record. In addition, Phoenix reached 115 degrees. That was the 8th time this year that Phoenix reached 115 degrees or above. The prior record was 7 times in 1974.

donsutherland1 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 At White Plains, the temperature fell to 59 degrees this morning. That ended the 58-day stretch (June 20 through August 16) during which the minimum temperature was 60 degrees or above. The old record of 53 days was set during June 27 through August 18 in 2012.

I take it that streak of 70+ lows at LGA has come to an end too, as well as the streak of 55+ lows at MPO. Not sure if the JFK streak is over? Don do you have any rainfall totals or highest wind gusts from yesterday's "noreaster"? Also I heard that parts of our area only made it into the 60s for highs?

Yep that 130 degree temp will be the only verified 130 degree temp in recorded history..... wow looks like 1993 was a historically hot summer both for Death Valley and for the east coast- that's a rarity!

Yes, LaGuardia's record-breaking 44-day streak (July 3 through August 15) during which the temperature remained at or above 70 degrees or above ended. The previous record was 34 days, which was set July 8 through August 10, 2006. Islip had a high temperature of 69 degrees yesterday and White Plains only reached 68. Rainfall totals were not impressive around the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 No topic on svr for the 5PM-midnight time frame in our area, especially CT, vcnty NYC and LI but to me it continues to look pretty good. CAPE arrives a little late in the day but with the wind at 500MB increasing and multimodels showing increasing convection in the 6P-11P time frame, not sure why it won't happen. You're welcome to add the reasons it won't. For now no topic til we see how this evolves this afternoon. I'm looking for several svr reports in our area late today or this eve. The second trailer batch between midnight and 4am may have gusty winds but should not be quite as strong as that of the 6P-8P time frame. 1044A/17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 75/60 amazing out after a dreary Sunday. 0.22 in the bucket. Aside from some storms later today and Wed looking dry this work week. Highs generally in the low to mid 80s Mon - Fri (8/17 - 8/21). Rockies Heat Dome in place through 8/20 before slowly nudging east into the plains. 8/22 - 8/24 The western Atlantic ridge expands west by Friday and into the weekend allowing heights to come up and warmer air to produce th next opportunity for 90(s) in the area. Looks like piece of stronger heat is shooting across from the west into early next week. Have to watch the progression of the western ridge and if we get enough ridging to keep things on the hot side next week 8/24 and beyond. Tropics coming to life in the Gulf later this week too. Still think we see piece of the tremendous heat building out west eject east for a 2 day period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thanks, so much Chris! From all this what I get is that 55 at MPO == 65 at NYC, EWR and JFK == 70 at LGA. It seems those are good equivalents to use when comparing the low temp data during the summer at these locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say "promising" but for me, interesting in the form of moisture 27th-29th.

wdrag Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Passing this on to those who can access digital VIL.. if we you get a value over 35, specially for 2 or 3 scans... look for hail. We have some hail up here in Sussex County around 535PM, Frankford Township...size unknown. That was also our first thunder of the day here in Wantage, despite two previous shower episodes. Now at 623P... total rainfall .20. Not like some stripes of heavier showers over an inch. I see a decent storm approaching Manville NJ and radar does detect small hail from that one.

wdrag Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Interesting next 3 hours NYC area and LI. Cell mergers... Intense rainfall in a few spots with 1" and maybe some pea sized hail and gust 40-50 MPH. Something to watch for as your modeled available CAPE looks decent. Also, whether this verifies, unlikely...but the HRRR is producing a near svr gust in Ulster County around 05z. Kind of late at night but i see a second band overnight. 643P/17 thunder and rain.
