As of 9:10 am, New Haven has picked up 1.27” of rain. That breaks its daily record of 1.03” from 1975. New York City has seen 1.89”. Parts of the Mount Holly forecast area have seen 7” since yesterday.

Yeah, this was one of my heavier hourly totals since moving up here last August at .84 in an hour. But last September was my heaviest with 1.53 in under an hour. Record wet pattern in CT since last July.

Bust 

Horrible. I did manage to get 0.24" this morning, which was just enough to water the garden. But what a bust for our area and a lot of New Jersey. I'm glad areas to the east that really needed the rain got hit, but this was very disappointing. For our area to not even get a half inch for the whole week is terrible considering all the potential the week had with the PWATS and forecasts for heavy rain. Really a shame that we didn't get the type of rain we needed before the big heat wave.

Could be a few pop ups tomorrow, but I won't get my hopes up on that one. Maybe we'll actually have a decent severe threat late Wednesday since we'll actually have a good cold front breaking a heat wave for a change. We'll see, but for now very disappointed. We've had so many useless high humidity days that didn't yield storms so this summer, so I'm looking forward to the nice break in the humidity that we're gonna get for late week into next weekend. That'll be a nice change.

Hottest real feel temps possible?

Imagine 100F with 80 dews

July 15th 1995...It was heat that could kill you and it did. Many in Chicago died from that heatwave. It peaked here on July 15th..Hottest day I could ever remember. High of 102 and dews in the low 80's

I believe Heat Index readings soared to 120 to near 130 across parts of the Illinois / Wisconsin area.  Heat index values around here were near 115 for a time if I remember correctly.  Might be off by a little high or low but it was just stiflingly hot.  Just don't remember anything like that since, although we probably came close on occasion I guess.

It's only a matter of time before we challenge those records. We're getting 604dm ridges in the Atlantic now. 

That was the only time we had low 80s dew points with 100° temperatures. They did a study on it. The corn sweat got trapped under a strong low level  inversion leading to the record high dew points and heat indices.

I think we have a shot at 100 Tuesday, but obviously it's unlikely dews would be that high if the temp is that high. Very rare to get a dewpoint near 80 when the temp is that hot. Right now dewpoints are projected to be in the low 70s Tuesday afternoon, which still is horrendous with temps up close to 100. It probably will be the worst day of the summer.
