Morning thoughts…

Today will be partly to mostly cloudy and warm. A shower is possible in a few places, but most of the region should be dry. High temperatures will likely reach the middle and upper 80s in most of the region.  Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 84°

Newark: 88°

Philadelphia: 85°

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 81.1°; 15-Year: 81.0°

Newark: 30-Year: 82.5°; 15-Year: 82.5°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 83.7°; 15-Year: 83.4°

Heavy rain from the remnants of Ida will impact the Middle Atlantic and southern New England regions during midweek. A general 3”-6” of rain with locally higher amounts is likely. Flash flood risks are elevate, as parts of the region have had an exceptionally wet last two weeks of August.

84/64 and some breaks in the clouds.  With enough clearing today can push another 90 for the hot spots.  

 

Sep to open wet with remnants then a dry  cooler weekend 9/3 - 9/6.  Next week we watch another front potentially get hung up before warmer air arrives with rising heights into the east 9/10.

Newark moved into the 2nd warmest August spot with a +3.5 departure. Bridgeport is in 3rd place with only a +1.9 departure. ISP is in 5th place with a +2 departure. So the much warmer 1991-2020 climo makes it possible for some stations to have a top 5 warmest August at only a +2 departure.

How did it do at JFK?  Also, because of how hot summers typically are here, isn't anything more than a +2 anomaly rare anyway?

JFK finished with the 11th warmest August temperature due to the sea breeze arriving earlier than the other stations which ranked higher.

I'll call it the bay breeze lol they get it before the south shore of Nassau County gets it.

Interesting that 2010 is nowhere on this list.

As far as August goes my two hottest were 1980 and 1995.  Chris, do you have a list of their top August 90+ day rankings?

Islip beat out all the other stations in the August 90° day rankings. They finished with 7 days in 2nd place. 13 days at Newark was only good enough for the 4th highest number of days. JFK was further back in the list with only 4 days. 10 was the record there set in 2005 and 1959.

2005 was a sneaky hot summer, I say sneaky because it was one of those sea breeze summers where LGA was a lot hotter than either JFK or NYC, but they were all pretty hot.

Still cant wrap my mind around how September in 1983 had 5x 90+ highs at JFK, a record that may never be equaled (since the next closest is 2x which has happened several times.)

NYC is past 10” for August.

#3 in July and #4 in August.

Don do you see a break from tropical activity for the east coast after this storm blows through?  Maybe we wont see any more up here, just like we didn't after August last year.

It will depend how active the tropics are. The pattern could again become favorable for U.S. landfalls around and after mid-September.
