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. 

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.

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

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

Records:

 

Highs:

 

EWR: 101 (2005)
NYC: 98 (1963)
LGA: 100 (2005)


Lows:

 

EWR: 57 (1977)
NYC: 55 (1920)
LGA: 59 (1962)

 

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 I would add Wednesday to that. Last night's Euro extended the beautiful low humidity weather through Wednesday. A spectacular 4 days.

Even late week when the humidity comes back up, it doesn't look oppressive. Then another beautiful airmass coming in for next weekend. Overall a very comfortable pattern for the last couple days of July and the first week of August. 

I wonder if we could actually avoid having an above normal August for a change. Right now there's no sign of any heat, but of course it's early to tell what will happen in mid August.
