Went up on the row house roof to clear a drain in anticipation of the heavy rain. The video is looking slightly south of west. The rain that their was, barely went the ground here. As always ….

Nice bolt capture

Looking like it could be a WNW flow heat like in late June too, so many of us could push 100.

The one consolation will be the 850s won’t be as high. So we probably max out 97° to 100° instead of the 102°-105° in late June. Plus it looks like the dew points will be lower than late June and today.

dry heat is great, 97 is useless, if it's going to be that high it should be 100 to make it memorable

this will be perfect, JFK is the region's hot spot when this happens!

[doncat]

98 high today....rain cooled 76 currently.

Thank you Rob. That bolt was a stroke of luck. I couldn’t even get that lucky if I went to the senior center. Stay well, you and the family, as always …..

The dewpoints still look elevated Monday into Tuesday before dropping a bit Wednesday. But not looking like a repeat of the nearly 100/80 experienced back in late June. It’s rare for us to ever really experience dry heat here like they get out West.

I think JFK might have have a shot at 100 if that WNW wind materializes, at least for Tuesday.

We would finally tie 1966 for three 100+ days if that happened.

JFK will probably finish just behind 2010 for the highest average maximum temperature from 6-22 to 7-31.

2010 was a very rare year with some spots getting 50 inches of snow and 50 days reaching 90°.

There were how many days that intra hour highs werent reporting, at least 5  could have added a point or three.

[SACRUS]

just under 0.94 of rainfall

Yes! I want to know how many cities/reporting sites have completed this rare duo in the entire country. And the places that did not get 50 inches of snow in 2009-10 got it in 2010-11 lol

[winterwarlock]

Brrr now the coldest in the state at 73

This was the 5th 90° day of the season at Newark moving into 4th place on the all-time list. There were 4 NYC micronet stations which reached 100° also. So among the warmest stretches that our area has seen from late June into late July.

Chris how do you put this data in tabular form and when will that micronet start recording wind direction as well as wind speed?

also are we sure that this instrumentation is properly sited-- 101 to 102 seems a bit high....

 

how do you record max/min data on these instruments and how do you put it in tabular form?

 

[wdrag]

Not sure if anyone is noticing... near 100 possible central LI Wed... EC past several cycles.  then its all done for 10 days.
