Anyone know what the highest dewpoints ever recorded in this area are?  Not that we are going to break any records, but I was curious.

84° is the highest on record at JFK and EWR. The JFK record was set in 2016 and Newark in 1995. While the Sussex County records only go back to 2000, your record is 79°set  in 2016. You can see how many hourly records there have been at our stations in the last 6 years.

Some amazing years on that list!  The only one of the 40+ group after 2010 is 2016.  Shows how our truly hot summers have become endangered by all this humidity and rain :(

 

How? 

Our average summer temperatures have been near or in the top 5-10 since 2010. 

Also the higher dews lead to higher heat indices which is what affects people the most rather than raw temps. 

This summer will be in the upper echelon with 100+ recorded at several locations this June and possibly this Thursday-Friday.

We could see the svr tstorm watch expanded into parts of the area

DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms with a history of wind
   damage across southern PA will continue to pose a risk for damaging
   wind gusts this evening. Ongoing within an unstable (2000-3000 J/kg
   of MLCAPE) but weakly sheared environment (<20 kts of effective
   shear), convection has remained marginally organized in several
   bands of multicell storms. Recent radar trends show additional
   convective development ahead of the main band across northwestern NJ
   suggesting storms will likely continue to the Atlantic coast. With
   strong instability in place robust updrafts capable of strong
   outflow winds appear likely. A local watch extension across NJ may
   be required as storms approach the eastern edge of WW427 in the next
   hour or two.

The NWS really needs to address the situation with the trees blocking the sensor. They didn’t seem to take it into account with the official forecast for today. Notice how the forecast did very well for all the other stations. But it was 4° too high for NYC.
