The 9/6 00Z ECM control which goes to 360 has an east of cape cod track

Just 5 years ago records highs in the upper 90s EWR: 98 (2018) NYC: 97 (1881) LGA: 96 (2018) JFK: 92 (1985) TTN: 99 (1983) PHL: 95 (2018)

Hot town (late) summer in the city. Classic look - no pesty clouds or random energy 850 MB temps >17c - 19c. The heat is on. Record highs for many. I think today tops Thu due to clouds coming later Thu, should thet be delayed then Thu also get / mid and upper 90s. Not sure we get the century mark but wouldnt shock me. Last one in Newark was 1993. Trough slow to move through pumping southerly flow with loads of moisture so we'll see how much storms and rain come through Thu - Sun. Beyond there dry out Mon later / Tue before back with next trough/ front the middle of next week 9/13. Then all eyes on Lee but suspect the W Atlantic Ridge anchored enough to keep things interesting LI/NE timing is 9/15 - 9/17. IN the wake of Lee should see a cooler NW flow before an overall warmer than normal final 1/3 of the month. Whether or not there is more late heat will depend on ridge position later in the month. Hot fun in the summer - heat , tropics fun fun fun till the daddy takes the W.A.R away.

E - W nice sat image. reminds me of california

74 / 71 and overcast. Clouds streaming to the west. We'll see how much these clouds get in the way for md 90s today. 3 more days of the late summer heat before front approaches later Thu wit clouds and showers. Peak heat Wed / Thu with 850 MB temperatures forecast >18c - 20c on SW flow. Only clouds would limit upper 90s in the hot spots on Thu. Fri (9/8) warm/humid but front still draped over and nearby with Atlantic ridge slowing the passage. Think will have hung up front Fri - much of the weekend, luckily wasnt this weekend. By the 11th NW flow brings in dry and clears the front. Next trough and front come through by mid month flow comes around more humid before front moves through. Later part of the month closing 1/3 looks overall warmer than normal.

The following is from David Roth of the Weather Prediction Center. “A mission, named San Augustine de Ahumado was located in what is nowadays known as Chambers County. This mission was destroyed and subsequently abandoned. A seven-foot storm surge put the area under water. A richly-laden treasure fleet of 5 galleons en route from Vera Cruz to Havana was driven ashore and had to wait many weeks for assistance to come. La Caraqueña wrecked on Galveston Island while El Nuevo de Constante sank along the western Louisiana coast. Fortunately, much of the treasure and people aboard were saved.” 1939 - A thunderstorm deluged Washington D.C. with 4.4 inches of rain in two hours.

Unprecedented rains caused rivers in central Arizona to rise five to ten feet per hour, sweeping cars and buildings as far as 30 to 40 miles downstream. Flooding claimed the lives of 23 persons, mainly campers, and caused millions of dollars damage. Water crested 36 feet above normal near Sunflower AZ.

Lee brought torrential rains to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
