As of 9AM Central Park is the coldest reporting station in the area, including all the way out to the Hamptons. 

Estimating Central park would be able to get to 100 if EWR: was 105 and LGA was 103 for Friday.  Based off recent years highs (2019, 21, 22, 24,25).

Not going to get there slim chance.

headed to Newport this week. Weather looks perfect 

You do the mansions? The Breakers is amazing and then you can do the cliff walk. 

Then check Ocean Ave and see if Kit's Kites is still there by Brenton Park. The kites are a little pricey but they are big and look great flying them there with the strong breeze.

Yes we will again. The cliff walk is incredible. We are staying on Goat Island for the first time. Newport is a hidden gem

Goat island, wow that brings back memories for me. Stayed there 30-35 years ago with the family, when I was a teenager. The pool water was pumped in from the ocean as I recall and it was in the upper 50s. Myself and my stepdad were the only ones that swam in it.

Enjoy your trip!

We have quite a bit of family history at Newport.  If you visit the Mansions, my great grandfather was the coachman for the Kings at Kingscote for about a decade.  He had the same name as me.

Ha that’s wild. It’s a four star resort now lol. Hoping to put the phone down for a few days and relax a bit. I love coastal New England in the summer time. It’s similar to the east end of the island, the air has that different feel

74 / 58 off a low of 62.   Partly cloudy Dry cool (coolest day since since 6/27,  Upper 70s - low 80s.   A bit warmer tomorrow with low to mid 80s.   Thu back to 90  for most with the hottest areas to low -mid 90s.   Friday the hottest day of this stretch mid - upper 90s in the hottest areas perhaps a century mark reading = cloud dependent and storm dependent.  The weekend cloud magnet may limit heating to the 90 / low 90s on Sat, enough sun and mid / upper 90s in the clearest spots.  Sunday looks cloudy with storms continuing into Monday.   Overall warm - hot humid and wet beyond next Mon with ridge backing west.

59 this morning.  I see there were a few record lows in New England. Nice.

San Francisco isn’t expected to hit 70°F again this July.

 

If that holds, it’ll tie the all-time record: just two days above 70°F in June and July, the fewest since records began in 1874

Historical:

 

1918 - A single bolt of lightning struck 504 sheep dead in their tracks at the Wasatch National Forest in Utah. Sheep often herd together in storms, and as a result the shock from the lightning bolt was passed from one animal to another. (David Ludlum)

 

1926: State maximum temperature record was set today at Troy, New York which was 108 °F. Also the maximum temperature of 105 °F was recorded at Waterbury, Connecticut but their state record is now 106 °F in 1995. (Ref. Lowest and Highest Temperatures for the 50 States)

1959: Two one-hundredths of an inch of rain was recorded ending a streak of 150 days with no measurable precipitation at Las Vegas, NV. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1972: One person in Virginia was killed by lightning while playing softball. (Ref. Lightning - Virginia Weather History)

1986 - Hurricane Estelle passed 120 miles south of the Hawaiian Islands creating a ten to twenty foot surf. The large swells resulted from a combination of high tides, a full moon, and 50 mph winds. The hurricane also deluged Oahu Island with as much as 6.86 inches of rain on the 24th and 25th of the month. (Storm Data)

1987 - Barrow, AK, receives 1.38 inches in 24 hours on the 21st and 22nd, an all-time record for that location. The average annual precipitation for Barrow is just 4.75 inches. Thunderstorms in Montana produced 4 to 6 inches of rain in Glacier County causing extensive flooding along Divide Creek. Missoula, MT, received 1.71 inches of rain in 24 hours, a record for the month of July. (The National Weather Summary) (The Weather Channel)

1988 - Six cities in the south central U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date, including Pueblo, CO, with a reading of 48 degrees. Thunderstorms over the Atlantic Coast Region drenched Wilmington, NC, with 6.49 inches of rain in about eight hours. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Showers and thunderstorms prevailed across the southeastern third of the country. Afternoon thunderstorms in Florida produced wind gusts to 86 mph at Zephyrhills, and gusts to 92 mph at Carrollwood and Lutz. Thunderstorm winds gusting to 69 mph at Crystal Lake damaged nineteen mobile homes. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

 

1992: Lightning hit on or near a concrete mixing truck near Walla Walla, WA; a man was knocked off the truck. 10 minutes later a 2nd strike knocked him away from the truck again. He was fortunate he was only slightly hurt. (Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA)

1993: The levee, holding back the flooding Mississippi River at Kaskaskia, Illinois, ruptures, forcing the town's people to flee on barges. The incident at Kaskaskia was the most dramatic event of the flood. At 9:48 a.m., the levee broke, leaving the people of Kaskaskia with no escape route other than two Army Corp of Engineers barges. By 2 p.m., the entire town was underwater.

 

1999: The Cedar River in Charles City, IA reached its all-time crest of an estimated 22.8 feet. Approximately 100 homes had flood damage in Charles City. Almost 12 inches of rain fell in a 48 hours period over these counties. Rainfall totals that day: New Hampton, IA: 7.10 inches (wettest day on record), Charles City, IA: 6.65 inches, West Union, IA: 4 inches. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2003: "The Mid-South Derecho of 2003" States affected....AR, TN, MS, AL, GA, SC (Ref. For More Information)

2006: Palm Springs, California: Mercury soars to 121 °F. (Ref. WxDoctor)

2006: Widespread damaging winds, estimated around 90 mph, raked most of Jefferson County in south central Illinois. The city of Mt. Vernon was especially hard hit, where about 14% of all homes received at least minor damage. In Mt. Vernon, damage assessments indicated 1,107 homes were affected by some type of damage. 491 homes received minor damage such as roofs blown off, 152 received major damage, and 18 were destroyed. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2011: A low of 82 degrees Fahrenheit on the 22nd at Norfolk tied for the second highest minimum temperature ever recorded there. Also the highest temperature for 2011 was 103 °F at Norfolk and 102°F at Richmond both on July, 22nd. (Ref.NWS, Wakefield, Virginia - A Near Record High Minimum Temperature for Norfork)

I posted this the other day. Only a very small area around San Francisco has seen the cooler temperatures. Fits the recent theme of the cooler areas covering much less real estate against the record warmth in the Northern Hemisphere this summer.
