Definitely has that orange-ish tint now like a few years ago.

Yeah its not that hot at all. Warm but as far as comfort goes you could say its a better than average mid July afternoon. Quite breezy, tolerable humidity, with bright but very obscured sun. Most pleasant heat advisory I've felt.

no mention of the smoke in their AFD which is odd, just the same forecast discussion from this AM which is not going to verify in many spots

89 here right now. I figured mid 90s today, but obviously temps are several degrees lower due to the smoke.

Soon after I said that some blue sky is trying to break through and you feel the difference with that brighter sun at times.

It should still be  widespread low 90s, with the Park the usual wildcard

WPC take on rainfall next 7 days.

Most of this falls Saturday into early Sunday.

Tweaks I'm sure over the next few days but potential for some locally heavier totals over parts of the sub forum.

[MANDA]

One more band of smoke to sink southeast across the area next few hours. That should be followed by somewhat clearer skies by late afternoon / evening from NW to SE.

92/78.

At least the smoke is at higher altitudes today than close to the surface back in 2023.

It will be interesting to see if it can prevent the 100°+ that was forecast for tomorrow at the usual warm spots across the region.

While these HRRR smoke plume forecasts change from run to run, they do indicate the potential for more smoke near the surface by later Wednesday into Thursday.

Much cleaner look to the sky up this way now.  Mostly just some cirrus mixed with blue skies.

To me it is not nearly as bad as a few years ago. Everything looked very eerie even at midday a few years ago. Now it looks much lighter, higher up than then.

[doncat]

92° here today, probably lost 2-3 degrees from the smoke?

Got to 91.  I imagine years ago, in the 60s and 70s, things would have been hotter if not for the thick smog and less days with actual clean, clear blue skies.

Temperatures will soar into the 90s tomorrow and Thursday. The potential exists for a few locations, including Newark to approach or reach 100° at the height of the short period of heat tomorrow. Smoke could hold down the readings by several degrees. Friday will also be very warm before the temperatures ease for the weekend.

Showers and thundershowers are possible during the weekend. The greatest risk is Saturday night and Sunday.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around July 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.52°C. The ongoing strong El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -36.56 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.083 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 66% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal July (1991-2020 normal). July will likely finish with a mean temperature near 78.7° (1.2° above normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.2° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Looks like the Park got a late high of 90 killing my Kalshi bet of 89 lmao

[Psychguy]

Made it to 92 here in PHL. The smoke made the sky a very milky white color... have to say though, the humidity seemed really oppressive, making that 92 feel very very uncomfy. On a side note, Milwaukee, Wi, where my brother lives made it to 99 today. Pretty impressive.

850 temps peaked overnight. So less cooling than we’d have otherwise.

AQIs well into the 100s up in New England headed this way.
