The water on the south shore is currently close to 60 degrees. 

Either way, whatever the high temperature is, it's going to be seen as a referendum on the effects of climate change on our area in terms of summertime high temperatures. Let's see how much climate change has really affected our high temperatures in the summer.  JFK hit 99 on May 29, 1969 and 98 on June 19, 1994.  Let's see if CC has made enough of a difference to beat those records, sea breeze or not.

Yea I can recall many times in the past where it's 90+ degrees with a southerly wind off the water in June, and that's in modest heat waves

Yes, we live in a continental climate, the influence of the ocean is limited and in such a situation comes in only after the high temperature has already been reached.

That means pretty much every model is overdoing the seabreeze which is something that globals I would think would have a problem picking up properly to begin with. 

So if they're all showing an ocean wind cooling everyone off you'd think they'd be on to something.

Ended on a partly cloudy note Gorgeous day

 

Clouds and some showers storms back in PA look to fizzle out, but some clouds overnight and into the morning perhaps

All look to dry up beyoond CPA

The NAM always overdoes the seabreeze, I would never use that. Also, as someone who lives out here, I never use raw numbers off of a global model for temps especially this time of year, you'll never be right. You think today's Euro was correct with today's forecast out here? Today's 12z Euro had a high of 79 for Shirley and 80 for ISP for today, Shirley hit 84 and ISP hit 85 officially. Today's 18z GFS never had Westhampton over 80, all wrong. GFS doesn't even have the resolution to "see" Westhampton properly if you're looking at maps

I prefer to use hi-res models in the short term, you get a much better idea of the kind of temperature gradient to expect and wind direction. I love the GEM-LAM (HRDPS) for this although it can be a little too warm sometimes. HRRR isn't bad either, but the NAM is way too cool most of the time.

its just like they overdo the rain/snow line and show Long Island getting 0 snow lol

They didn't have Montauk hitting 80 on a SW wind either a few weeks ago and yet it happened.

86 here just one off EWR, nice.

I expect the same thing at least for the peak heat day next week on Tuesday.

Tony, what's the earliest JFK has hit 100? I know they've hit 100 multiple times in my life on or just after July 4th.

July 4, 2010 101 degrees (hotter than either NYC or LGA)

July 5, 1999 102 degrees

Incidentally it would have been 90 here with more sunshine.

18z NAM has a seabreeze for Monday as well. But it gets close to 100 before it drops us into the 80s and 70s east of the city. 

How much of a sea breeze will there be in places like Long Branch NJ on Monday?

That's one of the hottest parts of the NJ coast on the 18z NAM at 5PM Monday. This is fickle though so I'm sure it will change:

Beautiful day.  84, Sun, and pool.  

Trenton is usually hot, so it being 1 degree warmer than nyc, who cares? Plenty of stations all around today were 82. 

[donsutherland1]

While New York City waits for the onset of potentially extreme heat, New York City tied the June monthly record for smallest daily temperature range on June 9. The temperature range was just 2° (high: 64°; low: 62°).

That tied the June record that was set on June 8, 1869 and tied on June 11, 1910, June 8, 1916, June 20, 1958, and June 17, 1978. June 17, 1978 also had an identical 64°-62° daily range.

The operational ECMWF and GFS are now in good agreement that daily record temperatures will likely be challenged or broken during June 23-24 across the New York City region. June monthly records could be challenged, as well.

This is not correct. No other stations were 82. Sacrus posted the numbers.

As a strong believer in climate change and global warming I think this is ridiculous and outrageous. There have been heatwaves going way back. By allowing yourself to rate climate change according to the weather on a day or two you are promoting the ability of deniers to come back when it snows or is cold for a day or two and say, "see there's no climate change". It's absurd and it is NOT what climate change is. It is far bigger and based on statistics globally over 100s of years. It is not a hot day or a snowstorm.
