SACRUS

Almost completely clear. 850s near 16-17C now. Add 3-5 more tomorrow 19-22C and we got a real shot at triple digits with W'rly flow and full sunshine (if it stays this clear).

Quick downpour in rhe LBI/ACY vicinity.

Had about 35 mins of clouds between 1:15 and 1:45 here in CNJ with light shower. Sun out and 93 now but dewpoint from from 76 to 68 now and likely dropping. Could beat hottest high here so far (97).

Tropics this morning. 83/76 here feels like Jamaica. The heat is on and temps will challenge this past Mon-Tue as guidance continues to forecast a push of 850MB temps 22-23C Monday PM through Tue PM. That should translate into many 97- 101s under mostly sunny conditions. Clouds and recent heavy rains the only factors that may halt any triple digits in the hot spots NE/C-NJ / LGA metro. Front triggers some widespread storms - looking at timing later TUesday. Well have to see what debirs clouds and storms linger into Wed which may cause a break in the 90s, otherwise Wed should get into the 90s. Thu (7/30) - Sat(Aug 1) now looking much warmer on guidance and should see temps at or above 90 for much the area. Warm and wet. Beyond there the tropics will need to be watched. As WAR is nearby and retrograding west in the next week to 10 days. This should keep heights higher along the east coast with nearby trough into the GL/OV is the ridge moves back towards the Rockies for a period. We'll see if it trends less cool but guidance has D8- 10 cooldown to near or below normal. 8/2-4/ . By the second week of August the ridge is on the move east again into the Plains and Midwest and strong heat looks to again eject east in that time-frame. Timing the WAR expansion could again trigger a strong heat spike in that 8/6 - 8/14 time-frame.

A majority of Today's 12z guidance has a tropical storm near the SE/Carolinas around Aug 3rd. Way out there but with the WAR building west - how west will determine if any tropical system is an EC or FL/GOM track.

Guidance had certainly moderated in that Jul 30 - Aug 1/2nd period from showing below normal temps to near normal now. Looks to get quite humid early Aug. Only below normal days will likely be attributed to conditions like yesterday cloudy/showers most of the day for the next 10 days / 2 weeks.

S/SSW flow may keep EWR and some coastal spots from hitting 90. We'll is we can get more a SW wind later this afternoon.

This coming week's heat likely the hottest along with this past week but I've learned never to say it cant happen. In these warm / hot years all it takes sometimes is a ridge in the right spot. Agree August theme looks warm and wet (humid) and may see Tropical tracking most of the month. That ridge building back from the Atlantic and the Rockies ridge returning eat towards the Midwest and Ohio valley seems to be the tendency so id watch August 6 - 14 more the next sustained heat spike.

80/72 S/SW wind. Low clouds burning off and today starts the next surge of heat which briefly ended Friday. Onshore component to winds may keep coastal areas from 90 today. Sun - Wed widespread strong heat peaking Mon -PM Tue with 850MB temps pegged at 22C which with enough sun should translate to the upper 90s with EWR/LGA a shot at 100. 850s actually look highest on Tue but storms timing could limit max heating and Mon is the better bet for the hotter day right now. Recent deluge may prohibit 100 but dont think we are done with strong heat so perhaps not the last chance or hottest air of the season yet. By Tue and Wed heights are dropping ahead of a front so numerous storms are likely later Tue and perhaps Wed morning which would make Wednesday (7/29) the tossup day for 90s. Beyond there drier cooler near normal Thu (7/30) and Fri (7/31). August looking to begin warm / humid and likely wetter than normal. US ridge shifts west to the Rockies to open the month with W. Atl Ridge shifting south with some weaknesses into the Mid West. W.AR does looks to migrate west with the Rockies ridge pushing into the plains again by the second week of August. Overall warm with no prolonged / strong heat the first week, which should feature chances of 90s. Hotter, stronger more sustained period looks possible by Aug 6th. TIme will tell as tropics ramp up and WAR steering storms towards the US..
