I’ll stick with my upper 90s

Good.  That just makes it "nearly unprecedented!"  Seriously, I have seen that in media headlines.  Any excuse to sneak the word "unprecedented."  They love their buzzwords.

Where exactly?  Which day(s)?  Generic statements like this do not cut it these days.  The details count and the models can parse these out much better these days.

From a MSM media standpoint, it likely is going this way, "NYC is going to be very hot, so that mean *all* the East Coast is going to be a super torch."  Never underestimate the power of thinking a location is the center of the universe!

What?

This is apparent temp, not actual air temp.  Apparent temp is a biological factor only.  A world exists beyond the biological.  And we assume everyone has the same tolerance to heat, which is false.  It varies widely.

There are been a noticeable shift focusing way more on apparent temp than the actual air temp, which is what matters most in the end.  We do not have a solid climo history of apparent temp either for historical perspective. 

And ever notice apparent temp is only talked about when it is higher than the air temp?  I wonder why.  I'll tell you why, for a dew point of about 58 or less, the apparent temp is actually *lower* than the air temp, so it feels better/less bad.  Can't hype that.  The door swings both ways here.

18z gfs brings the E taint late Fri into Saturday…especially eastern zones. Def gotta watch for that as the ridge relaxes just a bit and a weak s/w rounds it to our NE.

Still a scorchah on Thu

I have been looking at the GFS and Euro on Weatherbell.  The maximum 6 hour temperatures for later this week.  Lots of 100 to 105F in the major cities. Ouch, a 108F in DC. I think this is the day of maximum heat but Boston cools down with a seabreeze.  Also of note but I didn't post is the crazy minimums in some of the major cities.  It's going to be tough to get down below 80F in places like NYC to DCA.

Yes, but don't forget to be specific about the details - where, when, how much or you'll get chastised by vortex.

Personally I don't care as I'm on a plane to another world of heat on Tuesday evening.

Where are you headed?

For those of us who work outside, the upcoming heat wave isn't much to get excited about. 

 

I hope it's not as bad as it's currently looking. 

I'm going to start before the sun comes up.
