Under mainly sunny skies, temperatures again rose into the 90s across the northern Middle Atlantic and southern New England areas. Some places experienced cooling thundershowers. High temperatures included:

Albany: 91°
Allentown: 92°
Atlantic City: 92°
Baltimore: 93°
Bangor: 93°
Boston: 98° (tied record set in 1924)
Bridgeport: 91°
Burlington: 92°
Caribou: 89° (tied record set in 1947 and tied in 2001)
Concord: 93°
Hartford: 96°
Manchester, NH: 96° (tied record set in 2001)
New York City: 92°
Newark: 96°
Philadelphia: 94°
Portland: 96° (old record: 93°, 2001 and 2018)
Providence: 95° (tied record set in 1931 and tied in 2001)
Poughkeepsie: 97° (tied record set in 2001)
Washington, DC: 90°
Wilmington, DE: 93°
Worcester: 93°

Tomorrow and Tuesday will see a continuation of hot weather. Temperatures will reach the lower and middle 90s in many parts of the region. Cooler air will begin to arrive by midweek. The weekend could get off to a cool start.

Across the Atlantic Ocean, parts of the UK, including London, could see another round of withering heat. Temperatures could top out near or above 95° on Thursday and Friday.

The ECMWF seasonal forecast indicates that the summer will be warmer than normal throughout the region and across much of North America. Based on how the pattern has been evolving during the spring transition to summer, it is more likely than not that the warmest anomalies of the summer will likely occur in July and August with June being the coolest of the three months in the Northeast.

In addition, in the 6 past cases when the June AO averaged +0.750 or above (1950-2021), 67% of the following August and September cases featured above normal temperatures. The August ECMWF forecast shows a warmer than normal September in the Northeast.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.9°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.7°C for the week centered around July 27. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.18°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.62°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist into the fall.

The SOI was +14.38 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.051 today.

On August 5 the MJO was in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 1.207 (RMM). The August 4-adjusted amplitude was 0.910 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 63% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 77.5° (1.4° above normal).

There must be a downslope component as well when winds are SW. There’s a hilly/elevated area to the SW of the city where Blue Hill is.

I hit the NYC button by mistake instead of PA/NY.  Now that I know it was 89, 93 and 96 in Maine today, I feel even worse.  I lived in Jersey City and worked in the City for years and used to post occasionally here.  Jersey City used to have the Main Library open on Sunday when the heat was really bad. I sure could have used that relief today. 

Thanks for the good information and summary.

Yeah, the Blue Hills Observatory and Nantucket had their warmest July on record.

The next 8 days are averaging  82degs.(74/91) or +5.

Reached 93 here late yesterday.

Today:  90-96, wind w., p. sunny, 80 tomorrow AM.

Hurricane Talk will begin to take over the site-----but not immediately.      I like Sept. 20-Oct. 10 for the N.E. and New England Coastal Elimination Derby---after seeing the LR EURO.      JB liked it too, back in May but had to push it forward ala a 1954 type setup.

77*(95%RH) here at 7am.       80* at 9am.       84*(79%RH) at 11am.        86*(75%RH) at Noon.      Basically 83* from Noon to 3pm.      Then 85* at 3:30pm.       Reached 91* at 6:30pm.

The rural to suburban stations have been having more impressive low temperatures during this heatwave than places around NYC. While numerous stations set record low maxes on Sunday, HPN came closest to the all-time August monthly warmest minimum temperature at 77°. The 73° low at Sussex County was 2nd warmest also for August.

Several stations from POU to EWR and Freehold-Marlboro are having their warmest July 20th to August 7th. Other sites are a close 2nd. The 2nd place sites can catch up with the heat the next few days when the period is extended to the 9th.

Sign me up! I need a new truck again.  Bought my last one week or 2 before Sandy. Paid off the 5 year loan in 2 with 6 months of crazy over- time, 2-4 weeks of working 7 days a week, 12 hour days then 9 hours a day 6 days a week for months! Best silver lining to a bad situation.

Just looking at various models, several show some similar views of a low pressure down south but they all seem to lose it versus the gfs. Time will tell.

 

But all the ensembles including gefs say nothing to see here.... move on

There's chances of rain later this week Wednesday and Thursday but I don't think it will be enough to put a dent in the drought IMO. I do think the chances for rain events will only increase as we head later into the season but nothing too promising. At this point I'd welcome a tropical system just to get the rain here, just one that's not super destructive.
