I'm wondering if LGA hit 101 when the max temps are reported at 8PM.  

My station in Whitestone is usually very close to LGA. I hit 101.1

Leaving work saw what looked like a lone storm trying to build to my southeast.

Over the Newton/Sparta area earlier, we had two distinct cloud formations that were trying to develop something.  I even ran through a brief shower just outside of Newton, heading towards Sparta around 4:45.  Just barley enough for one or two swipes with the windshield wipers.  There was a tiny blip on radar and the only one around for hundreds of miles.

[WestBabylonWeather]

My ambient station high was 99.1
 

I question it when it’s in direct sun. But when it was in shade it was 96

 

Currently 81/76

Absolutely nuts 

Even in the suburbs it's still in the low 80s past 11PM

[SACRUS]

 

Dew point temps up to low 70s here from 68

[dmillz25]

Wasn’t expecting yesterday to be the third 100 degree day of the year for me. Crazy

[wdrag]

IF NWS issues a flood watch, will start a thread. Its marginal right now but I expect more or less what WPC has posted this morning with isolated max rainfall of 6".  No thread at this time.

Corona and Brownsville maxed out at 103°.

Low of 80 at LGA, JFK and Newark this morning.

79 at the natural cooling center. 

[bluewave]

Looks like another 100° for Newark today holding in 3rd place behind  1993 and 1949.

ps I don't consider heat historic unless it hits 100 everywhere (including coastal areas).

It's like with HECS, I don't consider March 1993 on the same level as January 1996 (I don't really care how much snow the South or the Mountains got-- it's supposed to snow there.)

It looks we can hit 100 today as it's already in the low 90s here and it's not even 9 am yet lol.  The only issue will be clouds, we have been in and out of clouds this morning (looks like they are of the altocumulus variety).

 

For me to consider heat historic it has to hit 100 all the way to the coast the same way it has to snow 20 inches all the way to the coast for me to consider a snowstorm an HECS.

I think JFK can hit 100 today we're already in the low 90s here.  The only issue is clouds, we've been in and out of clouds all morning here.

Low 90s here, I can make a run at 100 today as long as the clouds stay away.  We've been partly cloudy all morning.

you know as well as I do those are inflated lol.

There are no scientific standards being applied with regards to siting (the same can be said about Central Park.)

The heat really hasn't been as strong as what we had in late June (not just the highs but the temperatures in the morning).  Manhattan *probably* hit 100 but we can't be certain, I am 100% certain they hit 100 in late June though.  That was some historic heat when it hit 106 here and then 103 the next day.

We really need to stop building brick buildings and brick houses.  They are basically ovens.  In my time in the SW and in other places that hot, I noticed how well their buildings cool off in the evenings-- and so quickly.  We need to start building more housing with stone and clay.  Homes built with this material removes heat very quickly.  I really don't care about our winters anymore, they are no longer relevant, we need to build housing that removes heat as quickly as possible.

[jm1220]

Already 88-90 in Long Beach. I’m sure the seabreeze will be cranking there soon but might just hike up the humidity.

2010 was legendary- beginning to end. Fantastic winter finishing up on Feb 26 with the “snowapocalypse” to the early March wind event , to the fantastic early Spring to the classic hot but lower dewpoint summer, to the great finish with Boxing Day. 
 

Plenty if storms in all seasons but plenty of great weather days. One of best years ever. 

That whole period was probably the best period of weather EVER in the tristate area.

I'd start with the 2009-10 winter going all the way through the 2015-16 winter 

great winters in 2009-10, 2010-11, 2013-14 and 2014-15

30 inch snowstorm in January 2016

below zero VD 2016

historic 2010 summer

historic 2011 heat

hit 100 in 2012 and 2013 too

August 2011 deluge

August 2011 earthquake

Irene

Sandy

September 2010 severe wx outbreak

 

[wdrag]

Will make my final decision on an OBS-Discussion thread for the upcoming rainfall which I think may produce small pockets of FF within the general 3/4-4"---iso max of 6" I think is possible.  Primary event Noon Thu-Noon Fri (16z/31-16z/1), but preceded north of I80 by scattered heavy showers/iso severe 4PM-10P (20z/30 -02z/31) today.  

Most vulnerable via variability in the modeling - cant be sure where to lock it in but for our subforum between I84 and I95. Todays 12z SPC HREF will be my primary guidance, along with other supporting modeling --HRRR etc.
