Ju-ply 2026 Obs and Disco - Kicking it off with heat, humidity, and ... severe?

Logan touched 100 apparently

I've been stuck at 97 for two hours straight.

congrats guys!  A verifiable Acela heat wave (DC, B'more, Philly, NYC, and Boston have all hit 100!)

[pazzo83]

Last time we all hit 100 had to have been in 2011 or 2012, right?

Euro loves to do this in summer , people get all excited for sister and then it vanishes faster than a plate full of stuffing on Scooter’s Tgiving plate. 

QPF can't be taken at face value during the warm season (unless you're dealing with a clear-cut and well-defined synoptic lift event). When you're dealing with convection, guidance (especially less coarse models) are going to whip up erroneous QPF amounts over a widespread area when the reality is you're looking at convective precip which is going to be more hit and miss.

actually 99 here for the moment ... hottest this summer now

It's like a weak or decaying upper low and I think it's EuroGW with the convective QPF. But there are hints from both the Euro and GFS that there is a warm advection driven area of lift early next week. That could at least lead to a more cohesive area of rain.

Just know that someone was looking out for the CT zones.

100 poolside here in Easton, MA

[BrianW]

A brisk 73 here at Roger Wheeler in Narragansett.

High was 96 yesterday and 97 today.  Now 96.  But those GFS maps a day ago were showing 100+ for both days here, Friday, too.  Tomorrow will be similar to today.  Just your normal summer heat wave, nothing abnormal from a climate standpoint. If the Euro is right, Tuesday you might need a sweater or jacket on the golf course.  And an umbrella.

Definitely having brownouts in this area today.  We have window air conditioners in the living room and the bedrooms upstairs, and apparently the living room and one of the bedrooms are on the same electrical circuit as they shut off twice today.  We have lived in this house for over 45 years and never had this happen.  The work around was to find a bedroom outlet not on the same circuit and use the heavy duty extension to keep them both running.

Thank for moving down to SNE. Better IPA’s too

I want to argue, but the sheer quantity at Tree House might tip the scales. 

[ChangeofSeasonsWX]

The media nowadays likes to hype every weather event to the max. Every heat wave is "extreme". This event isn't anything crazy. Although I doubt that many people would notice a big difference between 100F and 105F anyways.

So sick of these stupid YouTube clowns with their stupid thumbnails of "get ready". 

Like to smack them across their stupid looking faces with their stupid microphones

Not sure why we don’t have GTG there

I can think of one reason.

It's going to be tight, but if BOS can go back to back 100s that's not been done since the 40s. This definitely a step up from your low to mid 90s heat wave.

Is there a * with that, if back to back?  Folks were saying BOS is running warm
