looking at the 12Z GFS - there are going to be quite a few days in the first half of august the area will be flirting with 90

looks like these numbers will be too low for the season -also so far at EWR for a 3 year period from 2010 through 7/27/2012 they have had 109- 90 degree days - that has to be a record or at least close to one
90 degree days at newark NJ
2010 - 54 - total year
2011 - 31- total year
2012 through 7/27 - 24 ( just made it to 90 breifly in between hours yesterday 7/27 at Newark)
the wild card is with you expecting a ridge out in the atlantic - if its in the right position will this create a path up the east coast for any tropical systems that form at a usually greater frequency starting in August ?
