78/57… beautiful outside for yard work. 

[steve392]

Didn't even know it rained up at home while at work or at work.  Building is so quiet. 

Did watch storms blow up over point pleasant on our bridge cams. 

 

North bergen got flooded. Never seen it on this side of north bergen along Hudson.

Had another half inch of rain fall too.  Grass and flowers are looking better.

Total for the 2 days was .03. Desertification has begun

Exactly.  Like I said, no one ever fixes it.  It is what it is at this point.  Temps off, cant measure snow, etc.

Very warm conditions will likely continue through tomorrow. Showers and thundershowers are possible tomorrow as a cold front moves across the region. Some of the thunderstorms could be strong or severe.

Cooler weather will return for at least the first half of next week. 

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.6°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.3°C for the week centered around June 3. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.95°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -30.44 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.344 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 77% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal June (1991-2020 normal). June will likely finish with a mean temperature near 74.4 (2.4° above normal). That would make June 2026 the eighth warmest June on record.

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 3.0° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Busy Weather Day Sunday

[JerseyWx]

Monday and Tuesday look to be a sharp contrast from this week's heat and humidity with low dews and 50's at night.  Then Wed-Friday maybe some rain chances as the humidity picks back up?

[bluewave]

Looks like the warmth backs off starting Monday with temperatures closer to seasonable for the next 5 to 10 days. Could still sneak in a few 90° days along the way. But most days probably staying in the 80s after this current heatwave ends. 
 

 

[SACRUS]

80 / 61 sunny but clouds already to CPA and suspect much of the afternoon is more clouds than sun but still upper 80s - low 90s (extending the heatwave for those that hit 90 on saturday).  Front and some storms later this evening and overnight could be some strong to severe storms.  Cooler Mon - Wed, brief heat spike Thu more 90s then quickly followed by cold front Friday.  Ridge west - trough easy and overall near normal through the 24th.  Last week of the month ahead of and into next should see more above normal biuld in and next chance of multi 90 degree days or sustained heat.

 

6/14 : Hot / storms
6/15 - 6/17 : Cool / dry very nice days
6/18: Brief heat spike
6/19 - 6/24 : Ridge west / trough northeast - near normal limited if any 90s
6/25 - beyond :  Moderation to warmer - next chance and heat towards the end of the period and opening next  month

Localized, excessive rainfall fell on saturated ground over southeastern Ohio during the evening, resulting in a 15 to 20 foot wall of water that raced down three small tributaries of the Ohio River. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2009: The line of severe thunderstorms formed along a boundary over the western suburbs of Denver, CO then moved east. The boundary produced at least one well defined funnel cloud that was observed by a stadium full of baseball fans at Coors Field. Large hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter was reported at Arvada, Broomfield, Denver, Federal Heights and North Glenn. In addition, the storm produced wind gusts from 60 to 74 mph.

2010: During June 14, training thunderstorms associated with a nearly-stationary cold front and an intense low-level jet brought torrential rains to the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, area.

Hard to get the heat and humidity to hit and hold so far this warm season.  It gets hot and humid for a short stretch and then it is broken but a nice air mass.  No complaints from me.  I had been forecasting the heat to return and hold by the end of the coming week but once again it is delayed.  We'll see what the closing 7 days of June bring and then into July.  

Just need some rain.  The long term dryness still shows no sign of breaking.  We'll see who gets what later today.   Was initially thinking the 7 day period ending this coming Wednesday would have been wetter with 1-2" totals fairly widespread but it is under performing.  The heaviest rains have stayed west from the Mississippi River to just west of the Appalachians.  

[winterwx21]

The afternoon and early evening looks dry. Timing for the storms looks late -- maybe not until between 10 and midnight. Hopefully it won't weaken too much by then.

Better support today. Much more shear. I think it'll arrive earlier, closer to 8-9

[NEG NAO]

Similar to every other severe event this spring the greatest threat is the wind

I hope you're right. It would be a shame if a good setup gets messed up by very late timing. Hopefully models like HRRR and Nam3km are wrong about the timing being that late. Still a good chance we'd see some heavy rain if it does happen that late though. We really need the rain so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Yeah.  Hope it is not just some gusty fast moving showers.  I have a feeling it will be more along those lines with not much in the way of significant rainfall totals.
