Forecast highs have been lowered by a few degrees, so maybe not quite as bad as it looked.

Well if you were expecting 100+ then that's definitely out but mid 90s (locally higher) and dews in the 70s will still lead to pretty oppressive conditions. 

On the plus side there's some spectacular weather on the other side of this (Sunday onward). Actually it may even be too cool for summer lovers.

Yeah Upton way too bullish

[psv88]

Low of 75 today. So much for the big heat wave. High of 93 now. Already hit 94 this year, weak.

[gravitylover]

Overcast and 75°. Big heat? 

[Rtd208]

Brutal out there this morning.

Current temp 85/DP 77/RH 77%

Need a nice W wind on top of the heat dome, looks like we are going to get SW winds with possible storms.  That’s not going to cut it for big heat, at least along the coast.  Maybe mid August we get one more chance for big heat this summer.   It’ll be brutal regardless with DPs of mid 70s and temp in the low 90s.

We probably still get over 100 today with the heat index from the onshore flow from well above average waters. But yeah-our heat waves where we get over 95 come on westerly downslope flow.

Not a bad look for the closing days of July.

Saturday may not even be that hot depending frontal timing/clouds/convection.

[bluewave]

Strongest Ambrose Jet of the season today with gusts 35-40 mph near the shore. Plenty of rip currents and very rough surf. Blowing sand will be common also.

[MANDA]

Not even sure we'll hit 90 today in my area (NW corner) of NJ.  Lots of clouds and satellite says breaks of sun at best next few hours at least.

[SACRUS]

 

84/ 75.  Partly sunny and very warm. Clouds from PA storms around and we'll see how cloudy it gets.  Hot one on tap, mid / upper 90s, pending on clouds and any showers/storms some of the hot spots could touch near 100 but think we'll be  a bit below ,97/98.  Some scattered storms later mainly north along the periphery of the flexing W. Atl Ridge and hook to flow the western strong heat into the area.  Fri (7/28) continued hot as peak of heat is ushered in 850 MB temperatures > 18cwith scattered or isolated storms in the pm.  More mid - upper 90s and near records heat.  Sat (7/30) continue very hot 850 MB temperatures get to 20c with mid / upper 90s.  Caveat for 100 degree readings will be timing of the front as the W. Atl Ridge contracts, clouds from storms to the west and north could get in the way of exceeding upper 90s.  The front does come through by the overnight into Sunday with storms.  Sunday (7/30) dries out and is down near normal into the 80s.

Kind of a back and forth near normal / dry 7/30 - 8/2 before steaming and warming back up Thu (8/3) - Sat (8/5) before next front.

 

The western Atlantic Ridge expanding west with western ridge sustained forces a more humid and increases storm chances southerly flow with trough backing into the GL.  Looks to go overall warm and storms chances by the second week of next month.

Looks quite nice Sunday - Tue , a few below normal before steaming/warming back up by Wed (8/3).  A bit back and forth from there. 

[SACRUS]

Debris clouds from PA overnight storms which were widespread at a point

Pretty stiff southerly wind already at 7:30am when I got to work in Inwood on the south shore of Nassau County.

Yesterday when hi-res models like the HRRR and GEM-LAM were not bullish on the heat, that's a sign. Yesterday the NWS had 92 for here today, now down 89 which will be closer to reality. Not sure what they were seeing

[JustinRP37]

No heatwave happening in Patterson, NY. Temps have been adjusted down. Today won’t get to the 90s. Maybe tomorrow.

Historical:

 

1819: A hurricane affected the coast from Louisiana to Alabama. New Orleans was on the fringe of the storm and suffered no severe damage. Ships at the Balize experienced a strong gale for 24 hours that only grounded three ships. Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne rose five to six feet during the storm, with farms along the lakes flooded by the storm tide. Forty-one lives were lost on the U.S. Man of War schooner Firebrand, a 150-ton gunship, while it lay off the west end of Cat Island. At 15 least 43 people died in all.

1926 - A hurricane came inland near Daytona Beach, FL. The hurricane caused 2.5 million dollars damage in eastern Florida, including the Jacksonville area. (David Ludlum)

1939 - The temperature at Lewiston, ID, hit 117 degrees to establish an all-time record high for that location. (The Weather Channel)

1943: A "surprise," Category 2 Hurricane moved ashore near Galveston, Texas. Due to World War II, all news underwent censorship, including any weather reports making this the surprise storm. The hurricane killed 19 people and caused millions of dollars in damages. Of particular note, Lieutenant Colonel Joe Duckworth and Lieutenant Ralph O'Hair flew an AT-6 Texan into the eye of the hurricane, becoming the first flight into the eye of the storm.

 

1943 - On a whim, and flying a single engine AT-6, Lieutenant Ralph O'Hair and Colonel Duckworth were the first to fly into a hurricane. It started regular Air Force flights into hurricanes. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Thunderstorms in Minnesota spawned a tornado which moved in a southwesterly direction for a distance of thirty miles across Rice County and Goodhue County. Trees were uprooted and tossed about like toys, and a horse lifted by the tornado was observed sailing horizontally through the air. Thunderstorms drenched La Crosse, WI, with 5.26 inches of rain, their second highest 24 hour total of record. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Hot weather prevailed in the north central U.S. Williston, ND, reported a record high of 108 degrees. Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the eastern U.S., and in southeastern Texas. Richland County, SC, was soaked with up to 5.5 inches of rain. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains in the southwestern U.S. Yuma, AZ, experienced their most severe thunderstorm of record. Strong thunderstorm winds, with unofficial gusts as high as 95 mph, reduced visibilities to near zero in blowing dust and sand. Yuma got nearly as much rain in one hour as is normally received in an entire year. The storm total of 2.55 inches of rain was a record 24 hour total for July. Property damage due to flash flooding and high winds was in the millions. (Storm Data)

1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Wisconsin and northern Illinois to New England, with 103 reports of large hail and damaging winds through the day. Thunderstorms in Wisconsin produced hail three inches in diameter near Oshkosh, and wind gusts to 65 mph at Germantown. (The National Weather Summary)

Too wet this month with all the convection and clouds to build the 100° heat like last July.

Hopefully the nicer weather doesn’t mean smoke comes back.

I think alot of the eastern Canada fires are out

[nycwinter]

the breeze makes it very tolerable to be outside..

[psv88]

85/78/96 right now. Stiff breeze

[psv88]

Dewponits of 76 at ISP, FRG. So the 82/76 at ISP yields HI of 89
