FPizz Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 5 hours ago, winterwx21 said: 89 here right now. I figured mid 90s today, but obviously temps are several degrees lower due to 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmillz25 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Looks like the Park got a late high of 90 killing my Kalshi bet of 89 lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychguy Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 82 / 70 heat spike ahead of next smoke plumes argues today maxes just at 99-100 pending on when / how much smoke gets in the way. Hot through Friday then the incoming trough and front meet some resistance from the W. Atlantic ridge and could make for a stormy / wets Saturday and extend into World Cup finale Sunday - Metlife. Heat forced south through the 24th then we'll see if the next western heat comes east to close the month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
