Islip was 88. No intra-hour high temperature data is available for JFK, yet.

Happened a few weeks in Jun / early Jul as well and not sure it was ever properly updated and reflected in the daily obs

76 / 57 and a fantastic morning.  Early clouds should move through and clear for a mustly sunny and stunning afternoon.  Low 80s, mid 80s in the warm spots.  repeat / 4peat this through Wed (8/14) before warming and more humid by Thu (8/15) and into next weekend where next trough could push showers and storms through to end the current dry period.  Ernesto looks to miss EC but New England to Halifax could still be impacted.  Beyond there near normal with western heat building north and east for the week of the 26th.

Seems a little interesting to me next weekend IF the possible Ernesto has slowed to the slowest cluster off the Carolinas,  then it would be interesting up the coast as at this time, the GEFS is sharpening the trough along 80W.  Depends of course on Ernesto actualizing per the seemingly multi models, and then running slower than the mean.  Check 06z/11 180-192 hour GEFS 5H.

At any location, you are more likely to see Perseid meteors after midnight because in the second half of the night, the earth is turning towards the oncoming meteor swarm. There is no real "peak" to Perseids, you can see a few every night from about August 10 to 15 -- there is a 33-year peak because the comet that blew apart to form this swarm left more debris in one part of the 33-year orbit of debris; previous peaks were around 1899, 1933, 1966 and 1999, so it's a few years away ... most Perseids will originate in northeast quadrant of sky and track towards southwest. The constellation Perseus is in that part of sky in August, hence name Perseids.

Records:

Highs:

EWR: 102 (1949)
NYC: 102 (1944)
LGA: 99 (1949)
JFK: 99 (1949)

 

Lows:

EWR: 56 (1972)
NYC: 56 (1962)
LGA: 57 (1962)
JFK: 57 (1962)

Historical:

 

1940 - A Category 2 hurricane struck the Georgia and South Carolina coast. A 13-foot storm tide was measured along the South Carolina coast, while over 15 inches of rain fell across northern North Carolina. Significant flooding, the worst since 1607, and landslides struck Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia during the system's slow trek as a weakening tropical storm, and then as an extratropical cyclone, through the Southeast. The landslides which struck North Carolina were considered a once in a century event. Damages relating to the storm totaled $13 million (1940 USD), and 50 people perished.

1944 - The temperature at Burlington, VT, soared to an all-time record high of 101 degrees. (The Weather Channel) The Dog Days officially come to an end on this date, having begun the third day in July. Superstition has it that dogs tend to become mad during that time of the year. (The Weather Channel)

1980 - Clouds and moisture from Hurricane Allen provided a brief break from the torrid Texas heatwave, with daily highs mostly in the 70s to lower 90s. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - An early evening thunderstorm in Wyoming produced hail up to two inches in diameter from Alva to Hulett. Snow plows had to be used to clear Highway 24 south of Hulett, where hail formed drifts two feet deep. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Moisture from what remained of Tropical Storm Beryl resulted in torrential rains across eastern Texas. Twelve and a half inches of rain deluged Enterprise TX, which was more than the amount received there during the previous eight months. Philadelphia PA reported a record forty-four days of 90 degree weather for the year. Baltimore MD and Newark NJ reported a record fourteen straight days of 90 degree heat. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - One of the most severe convective outbreaks of record came to a climax in southern California after four days. Thunderstorms deluged Benton CA with six inches of rain two days in a row, and the flooding which resulted caused more than a million dollars damage to homes and highways. Thunderstorms around Yellowstone Park WY produced four inches of rain in twenty minutes resulting in fifteen mudslides. Thunderstorms over Long Island NY drenched Suffolk County with 8 to 10 inches of rain. Twenty-three cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. It was, for some cities, the fourth straight morning of record cold temperatures. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1999 - An F2 tornado touched down in the metropolitan area of Salt Lake City. The tornado lasted ten minutes and killed one person, injured more than 80 people, and caused more than $170 million in damages. It was the most destructive tornado in Utah's history and awakened the entire state's population to the fact that the Beehive State does experience tornadoes.

We will be in a recurving TC pattern for a while as the trough axis is right along the East Coast. This is actually the weakest the WAR has been all summer. So not much in the way of heat with a pattern like this.

Down to 59 now to a very nice 75 / 57.   Dry next 4 days near normal overall.  Warmer humid by Fri (8/16) some of the warmer spot could touch 90.  Ernesto stay out to seas but pushes the humidity into the region.  The coming weekend looks warm/humid and with trough pushing east clouds and storms/showers chance.  Looks a bit unsettled into next week.  Sustained heat /warmup towards the last week.
