[Snowlover11]

[Intensewind002]

Up to 88/72/95

[SACRUS]

91 / 72 the heat continues.  Upper 90s / low 100s - only pop up storms or clouds from storms will hinder and be the caveat today.  More of the same tomorrow for thr fourth and for most the day is great for bbq- beach - pools, and some scattered/isolated storms at night shouldn't ruin too many shows. Sunday - pending on the extent of clouds and storms will fall below or continue the heatwave (7,6,5th) day.  Mon - Tue loo very unsettles and could yield a fairly onshore miserable mis summers day with >1.00 - 2.00 of rain.  Clear out by Wed, with a much warmer THu/Fri potential 90s in the hotter areas.  Overall huge ridge builds out west expands into the plains 7/7 - 7/14 and heat expands east for an overall warmer 7/15 - beyond.

7/3 - 7/4 : High heat isolated storms at PM
7/5 - 7/7 : Storms - rain >1.00- 2.00 onshore flow could keep Mon/Tue very cool 
7/8 - 7/10:   Warmer near - above normal - hot areas 90s
7/11 - 7/14   :  Below normal 
7/15  - Beyond: Moderation to / above normal next shot at stronger heat towards the last 10 days of Jul

Historical:

 

1873: A tornado in Hancock County, in far west central Illinois, destroyed several farms. From a distance, witnesses initially thought the tornado was smoke from a fire. A child was killed after being carried 500 yards; 10 other people were injured.

1933: Very cool 52° equaled the July minimum at DC; the "Dog Days" traditionally begin this day of the year. The hot weather period received its name from Sirius, the brightest visible star in the sky and known as the Dog Star. Sirius rises in the east at the same time as the sun this time of the year. (The Weather Channel)

1956: Lightning set off a dynamite charge near Brooksville, FL, killing one woman. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1960: A major hail storm caused $1.5 million dollars in damage across the Denver, CO metro area. The heaviest damage occurred in south Denver, Englewood, Littleton and Golden from wind-driven hail as large as golf balls. Winds were estimated between 60 and 70 mph. Heavy rainfall was estimated at 2 to 3 inches. Hail carried flood waters drifted 3 to 4 feet deep. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1966 - The northeastern U.S. was in the midst of a sweltering heat wave. The temperature at Philadelphia reached 104 degrees. Afternoon highs of 102 degrees at Hartford CT, 105 degrees at Allentown PA, and 107 degrees at LaGuardia Airport in New York City established all-time records for those two locations. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

1975: Up to 3 inches of rain caused flash flooding throughout Las Vegas, NV. The main damage occurred to vehicles at Caesars Palace with approximately 700 damaged or destroyed with several cars found miles away. North Las Vegas was hardest hit with $3.5 million in damage. Two people drowned in the flood waters.

1987 - Lightning struck and killed three men playing golf on a course near Kingsport TN. The three men had sought shelter from the rain under a tall tree on a small hill. Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in New Jersey, with 5.2 inches reported at Trenton State College. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Thunderstorms around Fort Worth, TX, produced wind gusts to 76 mph at Burleson, along with two inches of rain in thirty minutes. The record low of 46 degrees at Youngstown OH was their sixth in a row. (The National Weather Summary)(Storm Data)

1989 - Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain in the eastern U.S. Bowling Green, KY, was soaked with 4.99 inches of rain during the morning hours, and up to ten inches of rain deluged Oconee County SC. The temperature at Alamosa, CO, soared to a record warm reading of 91 degrees, following a record low of 35 degrees the previous day. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1992: A 27-mile-long 18 foot high rogue wave rolled onto the Volusia County Beach in eastern Florida. The wave's extent was from Ormond Beach on the north, to New Smyrna Beach on the south. The crest was centered at Daytona Beach. Sailboats crashed ashore onto cars and many people suffered cuts and bruises from glass and debris. Two people required hospitalization and 200 vehicles were damaged. 75 injuries reported. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1994: Alberto center crossed the Florida Panhandle near Destin on this date. At landfall the minimum central pressure was 993 millibars or 29.32 inches of mercury with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and gusts unofficially estimated at 86 mph. Alberto weakened to a depression before moving into southeast Alabama the evening on this date, then meandered around east central Alabama and west central Georgia for 72 hours dropping rains that locally exceeded 20 inches in southwest Georgia. Rainfall totals as high as 21.1 inches in 24 hours was observed at Americus, GA. Macon, GA was deluged with over 10 inches. Flood crests exceed 100-year events on the Apalachicola and Chipola Rivers. The first flood crest on the Apalachicola River occurred on July 10th to the 12th. Overall, flooding caused by the rainfall from Alberto took 33 lives, destroyed thousands of homes, including some entire communities, forced approximately 50,000 people evacuated, and caused property damage (including lost crops) estimated as high as $750 million dollars. Damage to buildings, roads, water systems and other public property was estimated at $40 million dollars. Insured losses to buildings and vehicles were estimated at $15 million dollars. Agricultural losses were estimated at $25 million dollars including up to 50% of the peanut, cotton, soybean, and corn crops. It would be the worst natural disaster in the history of the state of Georgia. 30 counties were declared disaster areas.

 At C Park, the lowest so far today is 84. IF that were to hold up through 11:59PM, it would tie the all time highest low there on record! 

[hooralph]

i thought I saw KNYC tied the record high low at 84, but the hourly obs say 84.9. Did we tie or break it?

[Rjay]

I'd imagine a ton of record high minima were broken last night.

[nycsnow]

Models still all over with tomorrows chance of showers 

[MANDA]

You gotta feel for people who have to work outside in this.  Just horrible.  

Especially in highly urbanized areas (EWR, NYC PHL etc.)  with the heat coming off the pavement and buildings.  Also for those with no a/c.  Just stifling outside overnight. Can't imagine no a/c.  Yet people did it back in the day but I just can't imagine how miserable that must have been.  

Guidance suggesting some widespread rainfall later Sunday / Monday.

My friend doesn't "believe" in AC. Jokes that it "primes his organs." Which is usually where I reply, "you're describing organ failure from heat stroke."

Waiting for the day he becomes a statistic.

Euro is more widespread while the gfs isn't
