Just hit 90 before 10AM here. Clouds /storms could get in the way of this being the hottest day of the summer so far for a few folks.

88 / 73 off with a real head start today. More mid/upper 90s and potential century mark in the warm spots. More pop up storms ahead of the main front that comes Wed (8/10). Depending on the timing of the front and any widespread storms, Wed could continue the heat for some or many. Beyond that it does look to clear Thu (8/11) by the afternoon and perhaps if its sunny enough, one sneaky 90 degree day before it cools back to regular mid august temps. The weekend looks dry/ and gorgeous 80s for most a trough builds in. Still think we need to watch a ULL closing off or cutting off but perhaps its uneventful and / or north of the area. Beyond that caught between two ridges Rockies / Plains ridge refires along the WC as the Western Atlantic Ridge builds west by Wed (8/17). Look for more southerly, perhaps humid onshore flow to develop then. Warm / humid and what seems like more Miami style pop storms that could deliver some drenchers. Perhaps some lows or tropical origin moisture enhances the storms. Way beyond looks overall warm - hot to close the last 10 days of the month.

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.
