Agreed this summer hasn't been bad at all...minus the obvious dew increase , it's just a typical summer 3 day heat wave then boomers... rinse repeat

A +2 July against the warmest norms is pretty warm. 

And the jury is still out on August. Has it been as bad as the ridiculously hot summer of last year, no, but it's still been pretty warm.

Perfect night at Central Mall, Jones Beach watching the inter-beach lifeguard tournament. Moses kicked butt, especially in beach flags going one, two. Were you there @LongBeachSurfFreak?

Unfortunately I was at my regular gig in the city. I’m just a weekend warrior life guard at this point in life. Glad you enjoyed it, when I was younger I used to love competing. 
It’s going to be an exciting week at the beach, with a strong SW flow and some big surf as a result. Throw in heat wave crowds and there will be tons of rescues.

Its on overnight lows though. And the OP is talking highs.

 

These conversations involve nuance. But yes, of course we are warm. I dont think its possible to be BN with the dews and overnight low situation anymore

80/ 71 humid transition and warmth following behind.   Partly sunny but clouds into PA and storms later into the area.   Otherwise warm mid upper 80s stray 90 where and when mostly sunny.  Some storms later this PM/evening as trough lifts and splits and piece o energy moves through.  

Wed (7/26) - Sat (7/29) hot and humid as the W. Atl Ridge retros back and links with the Western ridge and the sw flow directs strong heat into the area.   Low to mid 90s Wed and Thu (7/27) with strong heat 850 mb >18c . Heat peaks Fri (7/28) and Sat (7/29) with 850MB near or >20c, upper 90s and only clouds and storms the caveat for the hot spot getting above that. 

By Sun (7/31) the W. A. R. is contracting and allowing trough to move into the region.  Cool back near normal through the opening day or 2 of Aug before turning more humid and warm with strong heat passing near by the region by 8/3.

 

Beyond that the Western Atlantic Ridge is pushing west with trough into the NE pushing back to the GL and Western ridge ejecting continuous spurts of heat.  Overall warm, humid and storms chances into the second week with heat at times and strong heat nearby, taking a stronger W.AR to force heights to direct it into the area.

1891 - The mercury hit 109 degrees at Los Angeles, CA, marking the peak of a torrid heat wave. (David Ludlum)

1936: Lincoln, Nebraska saw an all-time high temperature of 115 degrees. The low only dropped to 91 degrees and the average temperature was 103. Many people spent the night sleeping outside to escape the heat.

 

1956 - The Andrea Doria sank in dense fog near Nantucket Lightship, MA. The ship was rammed by the Swedish-American liner, Stockholm, forty-five miles off the coast of Massachusetts. Fifty-two persons drowned, or were killed by the impact. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

1986 - Tremendous hailstones pounded parts of South Dakota damaging crops, buildings and vehicles. Hail piled two feet deep at Black Hawk and northern Rapid City. Hail an inch and a quarter in diameter fell for 85 minutes near Miller and Huron, piling up to depths of two feet. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Sixteen cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Beckley, WV, equalled their all-time record high of 91 degrees, established just the previous day. It marked their fourth day in a row of 90 degree heat, after hitting 90 degrees just twice in the previous 25 years of records. The water temperature of Lake Erie at Buffalo, NY, reached 79 degrees, the warmest reading in 52 years of records. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from central Kansas to western Kentucky and southern Illinois during the day. Thunderstorms produced tennis ball size hail at Union, MO, and winds gusts to 65 mph at Sedalia, MO. Five cities in Washington and Oregon reported record high temperatures for the date. Medford, OR, hit 107 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Early afternoon thunderstorms over west central Missouri drenched the town of Ferguson with four inches of rain. Early evening thunderstorms in Pennsylvania produced more than two inches of rain north of Avella in one hour. (The National Weather Summary)

 

2005: The citizens of Sand Point, Alaska saw a rare tornado touchdown on two uninhabited islands. Sand Point is part of the Aleutian Chain and is located about 570 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Yeah, it’s the 4th warmest July for average low temperatures in Westchester. But only the 13th warmest for high temperatures. The warm up later this week may push the highs closer to the top 10. Caribou Maine is the most extreme for warm minimums this month well ahead of any other July.

Day 1 Convective Outlook  

   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   1129 AM CDT Tue Jul 25 2023

 

   Valid 251630Z - 261200Z

 

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST STATES...AND OVER PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS...

 

  

   ...Mid Atlantic into southern New England...

   A remnant MCV is currently over eastern PA. This feature is embedded within a larger-scale shortwave trough and associated 40 knot mid-level jet moving into the northeast states. Forcing ahead of these features is leading to scattered thunderstorm development. 

   Strong heating across the region, coupled with dewpoints in the 70s will lead to moderate CAPE values over 2000 J/kg. Sufficient winds aloft and steep low-level lapse rates will promote locally damaging wind gusts in the stronger cells through early evening. Storms will eventually build southward into eastern VA/MD as well.

Northern third of NJ going to get slammed first and hopefully everyone later

Radar looking nasty over NEPA and soon to be crossing the Delaware into NNJ.  Going to rock and roll for some locations.  You can tell the atmosphere is beyond ripe just by the way the radar as blossomed over last 60-90 min.
