Apparently that's exactly what it's doing, at least in this frame. Guess I'm pretty good at this stuff On the downside, she has a 2 day outdoor craft fair this weekend that's already paid for, hotel too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Big slowdown in 90° day counts forecast as we actually see a very comfortable stretch of temperatures coming up into mid-August. Continuing to look like we may have seen the last of the 100° heat this summer. The combination of onshore flow and wetter pattern prevented a repeat of the record type of heat we saw during the 2010 El Niño to La Niña transition. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 73/71 cloudy, 4.10 in the bucket. Cloudy onshore SSE flow keeping it in the 70s with scattered showers. Last time the temp didn't reach 80 was Jun 28th for many. Thu the same as Debby slowly drifts north. Fri Debby/remnants are centered into VA and heading NNE through C/E PA keeping the brunt of additional rains focused into PA. Sat will dry out and clear up, warming back near normal. Sun (8/11) begins a stretch of very nice , drier, near normal allowing the area to dry out. Looking mainly dry and sunny. Heat capped to the west through mid month. Warming and next potential heat after 8/17 and beyond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a similar progression from early periods in Jun and Jul before western heat pushes east north first, as we close the last 7 - 10 days of Aug. Or it could see a day or two of low 90s and if the wetter pattern resumes with any future tropical influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbie will effectively end up pulling the trough was has been over the Midwest this summer into the East going forward. Another case of summer heat getting interrupted by a tropical system. We have seen this many times in the past with 100° heat right before a tropical system and then less intense heat after. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if the ridge tends more east once past the 16/17th as Jun/Jul and a warmer / humid progression evolves. Next week looks marvelous with a imuch needed dry out if it evolves as forecasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GEFS weeklies are a little more bullish than the EPS weeklies for some more mid 90s potential from late August into early September. But the last time Newark saw a 100° reading after August 20th was in 1993. The only times we are able to see cooler temperatures these days is with heavy rains and strong blocking. We got both this time. This was one of the strongest -EPO blocks we have seen this time of year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWR has only hit 100 or more on two days in Sep 9/3, 9/4 (1954, 1993) Came close in with either 99 or 98 in 18,15, 10, 83 most recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit surprised with all our recent endless summer patterns into early October we haven’t had any 100° heat after August 20th. It may be the tendency for these summer patterns to turn wet heading into the fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
