Historical:

 

1888 - Heavy snow reached almost to the base of Mt. Washington, NH, and the peaks of the Green Mountains were whitened. (David Ludlum)

 

1936: From July 5-17, temperatures exceeding 111 degrees in Manitoba and Ontario claimed 1,180 lives (mostly the elderly and infants) during the most prolonged, deadliest heat wave on record. Four hundred of these deaths were caused by people who drowned seeking refuge from the heat. In fact, the heat was so intense that steel rail lines and bridge girders twisted, sidewalks buckled, crops wilted and fruit baked on trees. Some record temperatures include; 112 degrees at St. Albans and Emerson, Manitoba, 111 at Brandon, Manitoba, 108 at Atikokan, Ontario, and Winnipeg, Manitoba.

 

1987 - Early morning thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 90 mph at Parkston, SD, and wind gusts to 87 mph at Buffalo, MN. Later in the day strong thunderstorm winds at Howard WI collapsed a circus tent injuring 44 persons. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Thunderstorms produced heavy rain in southern Texas, with totals ranging up to 13 inches near Medina. Two men drowned when their pick-up truck was swept into the Guadalupe River, west of the town of Hunt. Ten cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Baltimore, MD, reported a record high reading of 102 degrees for the second day in a row. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe weather from North Dakota to Indiana. Thunderstorms in North Dakota produced tennis ball size hail at Carson. Thunderstorms in Indiana produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Fort Wayne. Five cities in the Southern Atlantic Coast Region reported record high temperatures for the date, including Lakeland, FL, with a reading of 100 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

 

1990: The costliest hailstorm in U.S. history occurred along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies. (Denver, Colorado): Softball-sized hail destroyed roofs and cars, causing more than $600 million in total damage.

74 / 70 - 0.20 in the bucket.   Showers, rain, clouds keep it in the 70s for many.  Rain totals 1-3 inches with some spots to >4 inches.  Clear out by Sat night.  Heat returns Sun (7/14) - Wed (7/17, peaking Tue (7/16) with upper 90s in the warm spots and potential 100 degree reading. Break in the heat comes Thu (7/17) into next weekend.    Beyond there overall warm to hot and humid as western heat comes east and ridging continues to persist along the EC.

 

7/12 - 7/13 : Storms / rain 
7/14 - 7/17 : Hot / humid - potential strong heat peaking tue)
7/18 - 7/21 : break in heat - near normal
7/22 - beyond ; Overall warm - hot / humid- heat comeing east)

Looks we will get another chance for decent rains with the cold front as the next heatwave peaks by Wednesday into Thursday.

Rain / storm chances Monday evening as well could have some local strong storm.

We will have to rely on fronts and high dew point convection for our rainfall into late July as the tropics go quiet for a while.

Looks like the Ambrose Jet is muted in this next heatwave so if we can maintain a more westerly flow it can be in the upper 90s east of the city too. 

Yeah, the hi res GFS has 95° to 100° heat potential from Huntington to Commack. But we’ll need to get close to full sun to have a shot at those temperatures. Probably have to wait another day or two to see what models come up with on sky conditions.

Just 0.02" here this morning. Very dry here, so I'm really hoping we get a significant amount of rain today or tomorrow. Probably going to be hit or miss with this event though, with some areas getting 3 inches of rain while others get less than a half inch. Hoping to get lucky here.

Radar looks pretty good, but I see latest HRRR says those downpours to the south are gonna weaken and just be showers by the time they get up here. HRRR is a wildly inconsistent model though, so who knows. Would like to see heavy rain this afternoon, but maybe we'll have to wait until tonight or tomorrow.

It's rare to see heavy rain coming up from the south weaken like that
