Good rains in this part of southwest Morris; hopefully cushions the impacts from the coming torch. 

Same here.  Periods of rain all day from late morning until about 5:30.  Over now (6:00 p.m.)

Will check the total in the morning but rain all day today was not on my bingo card.  It was fairly obvious through by looking at the radar this morning that a wet day was incoming across NNJ.

4 straight days over 100 in NYC. 

It's probably overdone, but Central Park might make a run for 100 on at least one day. I think ISP, JFK, LGA, EWR will probably have one or more such days.

You're not escaping this without a 100 degree temp in your area.  

It's been dry so we probably add a couple degrees vs the heat last summer, plus we're in the same WNW flow regime that heats it up all the way to the shore and we add downslope help.

We know that Central Park likely maxes out at 98-99 under the forest canopy but LGA, EWR maybe even JFK if they keep westerly flow make it to 100. Ridge has also been trending east which is increasing the 850 temps.

0.04" today... 1.81" for month.  Bring on the heat,  go big or go home.

It’s going to take EWR making a run at 110 for cpk to hit 100. Thursday looks like a solid JFK 100 plus day with a west wind until late afternoon

On those days the south shore can be the hottest in the whole area because of compressional heating. Around the Southern State and Hempstead/Garden City are usually the hot spots.

Just checked myself and had to do a double-take. Would be the hottest weather in 14 years.

[TriPol]

It's showing 105 degrees for Friday. That would be... something.

[bluewave]

All 3 major models are now showing 105° potential for the warmest areas this week. Just goes to show what is possible when drought feedback coincides with such a strong ridge and a warming climate.

While the sample size for super El Niño events is small, this would be a first for a developing El Niño this strong. The other examples of heat approaching or exceeding 105° at the warm spots during July were La Ninas like 2011, 2010, 2001, 1966, and some years closer to neutral.

So the heat is getting an early start with this super El Niño. Past super El Niño events waited until the fall through the following summers for their greatest warmth relative to the seasons.

75 / 68 clouds hanging around much of the day but with breaks.   Warm / humid low -mid 80swhere the sun comes out most.  Trough into the west with snow into the mountains MT - ID - WY and subsequent ridge popping into the Midwest and northeast.  Building warmth into record heat 6/29 - 7/5 with core of the heat into the Southeast- Mid Atlantic and NYC-NJ region Wed - Sat.  Ridge builds to >594 Dm and 850 MB temps forecast in the >20c  by Wed and peaking >22c Thu-Fri.   The Fourth of July extended weekend 250th comes in hot blazing Fri-Sat and Sunday -  Isolated storms on the euro / more scattered storms on the gfs but for 90% i think it'll be good.  A bit of a pull back 7/6 - 7/7 but overall hot beyond with very stong / intense heat nearby and flirting with the eara in the period beyond.

Seems like 2006 / 2002 progression so far.  We'll have to see the extent of the ridge in the 7/8 - mid month period.

Historical:

 

 

1788 - The Battle of Monmouth in central New Jersey was fought in sweltering heat. The temperature was 96 degrees in the shade, and there were more casualties from the heat than from bullets. (David Ludlum)

 

1865: 24 people were killed by a tornado which cut a 40 mile swath through Southwest Wisconsin. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1892 - The temperature at Orogrande UT soared to 116 degrees to establish a record for the state. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders)

1923 - A massive tornado hit Sandusky, OH, then swept across Lake Erie to strike the town of Lorain. The tornado killed 86 persons and caused twelve million dollars damage. The tornado outbreak that day was the worst of record for the state of Ohio up til that time. (David Ludlum)

 

1924: An F4 tornado hit Sandusky, OH then moved eastward across Lake Erie to strike Lorain, OH. 15 of the 64 deaths at Lorain occurred in the State Theatre, where a silent film was being shown. The tune "Sacrifice" was being played on the piano when the twister struck. The tornado produced a massive wave on Lake Erie. 85 people were killed and total damage was $12.5 million dollars (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1952: The highest overnight minimum temperature was 82° with a 98° maximum gave a daily mean of 90° at National Airport.

1954: All-time record temperatures for South Carolina tied at Camden, SC: 111 °F. (Ref. Lowest and Highest Temperatures for the 50 States)

1957: On this date through the 29th, the remnants of Hurricane Audrey combined with another area of low pressure over the Lower Lakes region. This produced one of the worst June storms of record and established a new record low sea-level pressure of 29.04 inches of mercury for the month of June. Heavy rains totaled 1.73 inches in 24 hours. The resulting gale on the 29th caused some of the worst damage to power lines in 30 years. One man was killed by a falling wire. In extreme east central Illinois, the town of Paris, in Edgar County, reported 10.20 inches of rainfall. This was a major contributor to a record June rainfall total of 17.65 inches, as well as a record year total of 61.59 inches. Weather records in Paris began in 1893. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1960: Kentucky registered their record maximum 24-hour precipitation as 10.41 inches of rain fell at Dunmor. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1968: Unseasonably heavy snow from the Cascades to the Northern Rockies, with 3 inches at Odell Lake, OR, and 2 inches at Mt. Rainier, WA through the 29th. Snow fell at Jackson, WY through the next day, with 8 inches at Mystic Lake, MT (elevation 6,558 feet). Some western Wyoming roads above 9,000 feet were closed for several hours. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1975 - Lee Trevino and two other golfers are struck by lightning at the Western Open golf tournament in Oak Brook, IL. (The Weather Channel)

1980 - The temperature at Wichita Falls, TX, soared to 117 degrees, their hottest reading of record. Daily highs were 110 degrees or above between the 24th of June and the 3rd of July. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather in the north central U.S. Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced wind gusts to 70 mph and baseball size hail at Arapahoe, and wind gusts to 80 mph along with baseball size hail at Wolback and Belgrade. Six cities in the Ohio Valley reported record low temperatures for the date, including Cincinnati, OH, with a reading of 50 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Showers and thunderstorms brought much needed rains to parts of the central U.S. Madison, WI, received 1.67 inches of rain, a record for the date, and their first measurable rain since the Mother's Day tornado outbreak on the 8th of May. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Evening thunderstorms deluged Winnfield LA with eleven inches of rain in four hours and fifteen minutes, and Baton Rouge LA reported 11 inches of rain in two days. Totals in west central Louisiana ranged up to 17 inches. Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Northern High Plains. Two inch hail broke windows in nearly every building at Comstock, NE. Thunderstorms in North Dakta produced two inch hail at Killdeer, and golf ball size hail at Zap. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1998: Record breaking heat occurred across parts of the southern Plains. Amarillo, TX (recently broken, currently 6/26/2011: 111°) and Dodge City, KS both set their all-time record high temperatures with 108° and 110° respectively. Roswell, NM recorded a record daily high of 110 °F. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2003: A damaging severe thunderstorm rolled in from the east into Liberal, KS. The combination of 80 to 100 mph wind and hail larger than golf balls produced at least $8 million dollars in damage. Flash flooding occurred following the devastating hail and wind storm. Nearly all streets in and around Liberal were flooded. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2006: The storm total of the 22nd - 28th of 2006 was 12.10 inches the most precipitation ever recorded at the Annandale Weather Center in a storm in the last 26 years; the old storm total record was October 6th - 8th of 2005 when 7.09 inches occurred.
We were lucky in a sense that 2006 was dry with a - 6.29 precipitation departure going into June or even more flooding would have been experienced. (Annandale Weather Center - Annandale, VA.)

2010: The maximum temperature today at the Richmond International Airport was 102 °F which not only broke the record high temperature for the date, but was close to the 104 °F record maximum for the month of June. Both June 27th and 28th had a maximum temperature 102 °F. Richmond has never had back to back 100 °F plus days before in June.  Only three June days have been hotter: (June 30, 1937 103 °F) (June 19, 1944 103 °F) (June 26, 1952 104 °F ) June 2010 also had 19 days of 90 °F or hotter temperatures the record was 20 in 1943. The Richmond International Airport reported the mean temperature for June was 81.1 °F which was a new 113 year record. This breaks the old record of 79.2 °F set in 1943 and was a +8.7 °F departure from average. June had 8 new daily temperature records and all were for heat.  (Ref. Richmond Weather Records - KRIC)

2010: Richmond, Virginia, set record for the most days in June reaching 102 degrees F (June 24, 27, and 28). (Ref. Weatherwise U.S. Weather Highlights of 2010 page 8 )

Is the NWS website down for anyone else?

Mt holly issued an extreme heat watch already

Rain total yesterday was .33".  Total for the week was 3.88".  Glad I got lucky with some heavier totals before the heat arrived.

Looks like a hot stretch mid and late week.  I'm thinking @MJO812 and @nycwinter will be hunkered down until further notice.

Really wish CP had the instrumentation back at Belvedere Castle where it was properly sited so we could get a better sense of NYC temperatures.  Thankfully we have the NYC Micronet sites across the city.  CP bothers me only because that is what the media uses to give temperatures for the city and it is what people hear on new reports etc.  Will be interested to see what CP tops out at vs surrounding sites.

I finished somewhere between 4 and 5”, leaves and a stick screwed it all up yesterday after another couple tenths.
