Partly sunny and warm / hotter today. Should see plenty of upper 80s / low 90s. Models pushing brunt of the rain south Thu (7/7) and Fri (7/8). Will see if any of the more widespread showers and rain can push into the region. Otherwise, looking cloudy Thursday and 80s and perhaps stormier on Fri. The weekend currently looks dry and sunny but the 06z euro did bring a batch of showers into the region. Rockies Ridge on roids through mid month, yet despite the trough into the GL and NE, a warm southerly flow on days that are dry should push temps near 90 early next week Mon (7/11) - Wed (7/13). Would think with such a trough that rain chances should increase. Beyond that the Western Atlantic Ridge is on the move west. Will see how it progresses but a much warmer finish to the month may be instore.

Tue (7/5) More clouds than sun with some showers/storm later today into tonight. Mostly mid 80s If we get longer breaks of sun perhaps an outside shot of some upper 80s 87- 90 in the warmer spots. Not a whole lot of rain. Wed (7/6) looks like the drier/warmer day this work week with increasing clearing and partly sunny and warm upper 80s / low 90s. Th (7/7) and Fri (7/8) a bit unsettled with showers each day with a larger widespread rainfall on friday morning. We'll see how much rain we can cash in on. The weekend looks very nice on the latest modeling and next week a warmer / humid with temps hovering in the mid / upper 80s and with enough sun spots will break 90 especially by the 12-14. Some hints now that the W. A.R will build back in the mid month timeframe perhaps pulling a longer sustained fringe of the western furnace into and up along the east coast to end July on a hotter note. We will see how it progresses.

Blue Skies - nothing but blue skies Good Vibrations kind of day

Happy Fourth of July A tremendous day on tap. Sunny, dry and warm - its been a while since we had one of these. Down to 57 here. Now 70/49. Parts of the central / NE - NJ may get 90(+) again for 6 straight days as heights remain elevated into the EC, otherwise mid / upper 80s for the area. Great fireowrks viewing dry and in the 60s. Warmer overall through Wed with push of more warm/hot Tue (7/5)and Wed (7/6, where only storms, showers or clouds will prevent more 90s, especially in the warmer spots. Still a matter of timing any pop up and more areawide rain/ showers. Tue/ Wed look to see mainly pop up / scattered storms before Thu (7.7) /Fri (7/8) more widespread. Ridge remans anchored into the Rockies with heat dome centered near the mile high city through the week of Mon 7/11). Trough builds into the G/L and North east wrap around E/NE flow keeping it near or below normal. By the Tue (7/12) / Wed (7/13) a chuck of the Denver doozie is heading east and may scrape the area for a 2 day blast of stronger heat, before next front. Looking in the way beyond and Western heat may expand and link with Western Atlantic Ridge near the other side of mid July.

Forecast was more scattered storms today, more widespread later this PM. The timing of the front came into view later this week. The quicker forecasts and slower were wrong and the front timing was a compromise. If we get to 90 it'll be day 4 for some in NE - NJ with outside shot at 90 on Sun and Mon. Probably then need to assess but temps look capped sub 90s Jul 5 - Jul 11th.

Some bigger breaks of the clouds now and partly sunny.

77/72 here steamy and mostly cloudy. May see some breaks of clouds and if they are long enough with an hour or two of sun, it should push temps near or above 90. Storms later this pm and overnight into Sunday morning as front is slow to clear, especially coastal areas. Sun (7/2) should see clearing by noon N/W to S / E and temps mainly in the mid/upper 80s. Perhaps a stray 90 in the warmer spots of NE and C - NJ. Fourth of July looks award winning, sunny, warm and great fireworks viewing. Highs mid- upper 80s with again a chance of a few low 90s in the warmer spots. Tue (7/5) - Fri (7/8) front nearby to the south and another front coming through offers storms and pop up storms each day. Timing the pulse of these systems as we ride the rim of the Rockies ridge, but Tue more widespread later in the day with Wed may be mainly dry before later Thu / Fr seeing more scattered storms. Ridge goes bonkers over Denver during the period and through the 11th, as trough pushes through the northeast nect weekened Sat (7/9) into the following week Mon (7/11). Out beyond:A blast from the western heat timing wise looks to be Tue 7/12 and some hints the heights begin to push east before mid month, perhaps in a more sustained fashion.

A few storms popping up in CPA near Harrisburg, and bit more clouds into the area http://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/site/imgs/vis_nj_anim.gif Dewpoints in the low 70s

Warm start many low/mid 80s before 11AM. July opens hot and turns stormy. Long weekend looks great 3/4 of the time. Saturday storms and cloudy conditions. Drier and warm again 3th/4th. Period Jul 5th - Jul 9th looks a bit unsettled (Florida like) front nearby could trigger popup storms each day, otherwise warm and a bit humid. Trough looks to push through by the end of the week Jul 8th - Jul 10th. We'll see if the furnace out west under the heat dome in the rockies where the ridge goes bonkers, can spread east with a taste of more sustained heat by the 12th.

Start of the Fourth of July weekend (long) will be hot one today. Friday (7/1) Looks mainly dry through the early evening. Highs Low / mid 90s perhaps some touch upper 90s in the hot spots. Some scattered storms later this evening and overnight into -- Saturday (7/2) : front approaches, some breaks of sun could push temps to 90, but plenty of scattered and then widespread showers and storms later in the day. Looks to continue into the overnight and - Sun (7/3) Storms/showers end as front clears the area. Should clear by the afternoon. Warm mid/upper 80s, perhaps few warm spots in NE and central NJ touch 90. Fourth of July: Sunny, warm upper 80s / low 90s. Great day.
