The Atlantic ridge keeps the EC under ridging with the continued warm-hot / humid and frequent storm with trough back into the MW and ridge west. Beyond next weekend flow could go a bit flatter with more heat coming east (after the 29th). 7/18 - 7/19: Break in heat, near normal 7/20 - 7/28: Warm-hot, Humid, Frequent storm chances (chance for 90/low 90s) 7/29 - beyond : Overall war - hot - could see stronger heat come east.

"Additionally, the agency notes that on Tuesday morning, at the time of the fireball sighting, there were reports of "military activity in the vicinity," saying that "would explain the multiple shakings and sounds reported to the media." The loud noise and apparent shaking were reported from southern New Jersey to parts of Queens and Brooklyn, according to NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM)." https://abcnews.go.com/US/daylight-fireball-meteor-rattled-parts-new-york-city/story?id=112006023

94 / 72 clouds building in with storms into NW NJ
-
91/73 heating up quickly EWR: 88 (SE wind) NYC: 89 LGA: 88
-
GFS more prominent in building the Atlantic ridge in 7/24 - 26 with 500 MB height >594DM. That should setup some stronger humidity / heat potential. Looks overall warm-hot and humid with more frequent rain chances. Some of that heat building in the southwest may come east in spurts beyond the end of next week / 29th.

88 / 71 here - sunny and heating up quickly WInd: 234° (SW) EWR: 86 LGA: 85 NYC: 86

83 / 72 clouds clearing looks like 2-4 hours of sunshine before clouds arrives

close but no sweat-gar

79 / 72 clouds left over from overnight storms, slowly clearing. Should continue to the heat for most places before the front comes through later today (front to CPA) so about 4 - 6 hours of sunshine / heating. Some lingering storms Thu (eastern/coastal areas) otherwise a break in the heat lasting through Sat (7/20). Strong heat limited but upper 80s / near to low 90s from Sun (7/21) as the Atltantic ridge keeps the EC in the ridge. Perhaps some stronger heat the MW trough lifts out later next week and weekend. 7/17 : Hot /humid (evening storms front) 7/18 - 7/20 : break in heat . humiditity 7/21 - beyond : Overall warm to humid - more frequent storm chances with southerly tropical flow by the 24th

So far storms avoiding EWR and chance for low bove 80
