Storms firing near Delware / New Jersey area and CT

Had to goto Key West for similar temperature and dew point temperature 88 / 76 there.

You can almost smell the drencher coming - it's inevitable.

Some records today New Brnswck: 97 (1918). The rest of the area was in the throws of 100 plue degree heat 21 years ago this week in 2001.

See if some slow movers can pop today and produce some drenchers. Perhaps Near NYC today.

Off to the proverbial heat races. More sun now and up to 91 before 11AM here. http://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/site/imgs/vis_nj_anim.gif

Think we got down into the 50s in 2014 around this same time of year but that was a big exception to the other years.

88/72 here. Quite humid and warm. Clouds / sun and a real oppressive day ahead. Still under the influence of the W. Atlantic ridge the next 36 hours with more heat, humidity and Florida style pop storms that could be drenchers. Front timing looks Wed PM (8/10) and depending on clouds and storms arrival another shot at 90 with a high start like today with warm night time minimums. Thu (8/11) still kind of dealing with lingering front and clouds and could be a sub 80 day but more likely a sub 90 day. Stuck between the two ridges as trough comes in Fri (8/12) and through the coming weekend Sat (8/13) and Sun *8/14. Looks near / below normal and a break in the heat. Rockies / Plain Ridge builds strong heat west of the GL. See if there is any cut off ULL into the northeast in this time. Start seeing the W/ Atlatnic Ridge build back by the middle of next week Tue (8/16) but its likely more humid / onshore flow before some of the heat from the Plains / Rockies moves east. Back to an overall warmer pattern the second / last 10 days of the month, tropics to be watched with the W. AR near by to steer things up.

made it to 97 before clouds from the storms in Mercer and Middlesex went just to my north. Now down to 88.

Storm moving into CNJ now

Up to 91 / 71 , Florida style kind of day, http://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/site/imgs/vis_nj_anim.gif

May add Thu to capped in the 80s or even 70s. Could be a similar type day to Mon (8/1) locked in low clouds.

85/73 and continued hot and humid. Pop up storms weren't kind to the area yesterday and it looks similar today but there could be some pop up drenchers, otherwise low / mid 90s and very high humidity. Mon (8/8) could see mid/upper 90s and a few 100s in the hot / dry spots. Tue depending on the timing of the frontal system with clouds and storms, could push more strong heat with enough sun. Beyond there Wed (8/10) has front moving through and it could be slow to clear, lingering into Thu (8/11) which could produce more rainfall for the region. Trough slides in Thu and Fri (8/12) through next weekend Sat (8/13) and Sun (8/14) looks dry and warm , likely less in the way of 90s outside the warm spots. Have to keep eye on front and if it gets hung up nearby the coast and is it close enough for some rain in coastal areas beyond Thursday. Rockes / Plains Ridge surges again with a piece of that heat looking to come east Tue (8/16) way out there. Need to watch the Ridges push up against each other as the W. AR may come west and potential cutoff ULL n the same period. Overall warm pattern but think we can improve rain chances.
