I asked myself if I should go back and change that as I posted it lol. 

Most people are in the 80s by Monday evening. 

 

This is kind of normal, it will be in the 80s by Monday evening and stay at 80 or above all night.  Nice launching pad for Tuesday.

The RGEM and GFS have a regional high around 102°-103° for Tuesday. So if we compromise between them and the Euro, then somebody gets to the 102°-105° range. Since the GFS and RGEM have a small cool bias. Euro does best with full sun and strong WAA. 

lets just hope we dont get any clouds Tuesday afternoon

I hope we have this westerly wind for Tuesday so JFK can hit 100 in June!!

[Intensewind002]

Late high here 88/74 as of 5:30 pm, heat index up to 97.

When you're 95 to 100 you don't expect to be in the mid 80s by 5PM. 

A couple models have 70s. 

One of the worst parts of heatwaves in the city is the temps staying at absurdly high levels deep into the night. Being 80 degrees at 5PM is actually quite comfortable lol

I wouldn't call that normal for a "major heatwave"

Yeah the warm spots will still be above 90 at 10pm Tuesday

It's happened a lot here at the coast after hitting 100 around 12 noon or 1 pm.

Around here we're used to peaking around that time, usually we outpace the city and even Newark sometimes by several degrees.  Then the temperature starts to drop around 4 pm and then it levels out in the early evening and sometimes even starts to rise again after that.

Made it to 90 for the second day in a row. Car was reading 94 as I was driving through Philly to the Mets game

If we get full sun and offshore flow, then I think 102° to 105° will be possible on Tuesday for the warmest spots across the area.

[Intensewind002]

Up to 89 now, I figured I was done after hitting 88 at I don't think 90 is possible at this time but still an decent late day high especially after the rain rolled through this morning. Heat index at 98

I'm hoping for a July 5, 1999 scenario (in terms of wind direction).

 

[Roger Smith]

What I'm noticing about Monday and Tuesday is a very light wind field, almost NW to N as the surface flow begins to lose identity. Certainly a hot enough air mass to approach 100F in the NYC metro but will any weak sea breezes develop to keep readings in the low to mid 90s? I would bet on 102-105 in parts of NJ. 

[SI Mailman]

Just checked the home station and we made it to 91 at 6:20 for probably the latest high possible

temperatures now finally starting to drop at 7 pm.

We hit 89 around 5 pm and hovered there for almost two hours lol

[uofmiami]

88 in Syosset & 87.8 in Muttontown for the high. 

[nycwinter]

did central park hit 90?

Historically in such a scenario the coast hits 100 early on (12-1) and then temperatures start to drop after 3 pm.

That wasn't his question Mr Pizz

[Sundog]

@FPizz I'm playing with you FYI

Tuesday is 102 at LGA, 101 at JFK, 99 at Central Park. I think the "warmer" models verify on Tuesday 

[doncat]

Late high here of 89° off of the 0.08" of rain this am.

1981 - A young woman from Lubbock, TX, was struck by lightning. The bolt of lightning struck just above her right shoulder near her neck, and passed right to left through her body, tearing her warm-ups, causing her tennis shoes to explode, and lifting her two feet into the air. (The Weather Channel)

How is this even possible?

I think it's from the buildup of a static charge in storm clouds?

JFK Airport (91°), LaGuardia Airport (90°), and Newark (92°) all reached 90° or above while Central Park (88°) did not. That was the second time this month that happened. The last month with two such days was August 2021. The record is 4 such days in June 2010. 

Even more impressive, Bridgeport, JFK Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Islip, and Newark all reached 90° or higher, while Central Park did not for the first time since June 17, 2022 and only the 12th time during the period of common recordkeeping. The 5° difference between Brigeport (93°) and Central Park (88°) was just 1° short of the record for all days where Bridgeport reached 90° or above and Central Park did not. That record was set on June 24, 2017: Bridgeport: 90°; Central Park: 84°.

During the period of common recordkeeping, there have been 149 days when JFK reached 90° or higher and Central Park did not. In contrast, there have been 722 days when Central Park reached 90°F or higher and JFK did not. There have been 46 days when Bridgeport reached 90° or higher and Central Park did not. In contrast, there have been 663 days when Central Park reached 90°F or higher and Bridgeport did not.There have been 38 days when Islip reached 90° or higher and Central Park did not. In contrast, there have been 702 days when Central Park reached 90°F or higher and Islip did not.
