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?

76 / 73 .  Clear.    Onshore flow today keeps it cooler before next round of rain on Sunday.  Mainly 80s today some of the inland hotter areas could get to 90 further inland.  Tomorrow - cloudy - storms could dump 1-3 inches of rain.  Heat back Mon - Wed (perhaps Thu) with front on Thursday. Do see seabreeze and more E component to flow Mon-Wed so heat inland - could be tough along the coasts and city.  Could be next slow moving boundary Thu - Fri with some storms and rain >2-3 inches.  Beyond there Cooler 8/1 - 8/6 lots of onshore flow - keeping it near normal overall.  Flow comes around with warm-hot / humid overall by 8/7 or 8th.   Beyond there much warmer as ridge expandings east and heat building to our west.

Historical:

 

1819 - Twin cloudbursts of fifteen inches struck almost simultaneously at Catskill, NY, and Westfield, MA. Flash flooding resulted in enormous erosion. (David Ludlum)

 

1874: Torrential rainfall brought flash flooding to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

 

1875: A windstorm, possibly a tornado, ripped through Erie, PA killing 134 people and causing $500,000 dollars damage. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1931: A swarm of grasshoppers descends on crops throughout the American heartland, devastating millions of acres. Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, already in the midst of a bad drought, suffered tremendously from this disaster.

1943 - Tishomingo, OK, baked in the heat as the mercury soared to 121 degrees, a state record. (The Weather Channel)

1960 - The temperature at Salt Lake City, UT, hit 107 degrees, an all-time record high for that location. (The Weather Channel)

 

1974: Cleghorn, La.--A 27-year-old man was killed by lightning while working near a metal tool shed. (Ref. Lightning-The Underrated Killer.pdf)

1979: Tropical Storm Claudette stalled over Alvin, Texas, inundating the town with 45 inches of rain in 42 hours. The total included 43 inches in 24 hours, which is the maximum 24-hour rainfall in American history.


1986: Strong thunderstorms hit north central South Dakota. One of these storms was a very efficient rain producer as it dumped 2.25 inches of rain in 10 minutes near McLaughlin. Strong thunderstorm winds did damage near Mitchell on that same day. The strong winds destroyed a barn, a roof, and windmill in the Mitchell area. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1987 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced hail two inches in diameter in McHenry County, IL, and wind gusts to 70 mph at Auburn, ME. A wind gust of 90 mph was recorded at Blairstown, NJ, before the anemometer broke. The high winds were associated with a small tornado. The record high of 88 degrees at Beckley, WV, was their sixth in a row. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging winds in the Middle Atlantic Coast Region, and in the south central U.S. Eight cities in the northwestern and north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Salem, OR, hit 103 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Morning thunderstorms produced heavy rain in southeastern Texas, with more than three inches reported at the Widllife Refuge in southwestern Chambers County. Evening thunderstorms produced severe weather in Montana, with wind gusts to 62 mph reported at Helena. Eight cities from Maine to Minnesota reported record high temperatures for the date, including Newark, NJ, with a reading of 99 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

 

1993: Pueblo, Colorado: Record high for date, 101°F and record low for date 52°F, set on same day! (Ref. WxDoctor) The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1993: Rising water stopped all rail traffic through Kansas City, MO. A tornado moved along a 4 mile track across parts of northwest Scottsbluff, NE. The tornado destroyed a furniture store and about 8 homes, with about $3 million dollars in damage. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2000: A line of thunderstorms developed in Iowa and pushed southward into northwest Missouri. The early storms produced large hail in the northwest corner of Missouri. Wind gusts in excess of 70 mph and widespread wind damage occurred from the St. Joseph area southward to the Kansas City metro and other locations in west central Missouri. The highway department reported downed trees up to 4 feet in diameter. A building under construction in an industrial park sustained over $1 million dollars in damage. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2001: Two Boy Scouts were injured by lightning while at a campsite during the National Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill in Caroline County, VA.
(Ref. Lightning - Virginia Weather History) Up to 8 inches of rain fell in about 3 to 4 hours across Copiah County, Mississippi. Various portions of Rankin County had significant flooding. In Pearl, several roads had to be closed. Water also covered several roads in Brandon where up to six inches of rain fell in a few hours. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)
