71 / 54 and quite lovely out. A reprieve from the humidity and heat the next 5 days with dry, near or below normal temps low / mid 80s and 60s (some 50s) at night. Tough into the NE with N/NW flow with Ridge re popping in TX/OK similar to late June/early this month. By Wed (8/3) into Thu (8/4) flow is coming around more S/SW with a return to more humid (not bad bad as recent yet). Warmer 8/4 - 8/6, before next front comes through. Beyond into the second week the western Atlantic ridge is building west and forcing trough back towards the GL, with more warm / humid flow. Strong heat remains into the south/ Gulf. Heights look to come up towards the end of the second week and overall warm to hot at times with more frewuent storms potential. Enjoy this marvelous next 5 days.

I would not be surprised to see popup storms ahead of the main line / front but a period oh storms / showers is very likely between 5pm and into the night

Up to 81 here with some breaks in the clouds and more sun now. We'll see if this is enough a break in clouds, showers to get some spots to 90. Next 90s would be post Aug 9.

Did you have 3 or 4 more with April / May?

whats your 90 degree count for the year ?

78 / 73 partly to mostly cloudy with some showers into CNJ andNE-NJ. Warm - hot and humid, where / when the sun is out temps jump to low 90s, perhaps mid 90s in spots with most sunshine. More scattered storms during the brunt of the day so likely not too bad before more storms later this evening and overnight with frontal passage. Looks most heaviest storms in the northern sections. Thick cloud deck about 7 - 9 hours away. Sun (7/31) - Wed (3rd) back to or below normal, less humid and great weather low - mid 80s in the warmest spots. Ridge is centering back near TX/OK this week with trough into the NE as the W. Atl. Ridge is contracted into the Atlantic. Winds come back around more SW by Wed and its more warm and humid with storm chances through Fri (5th). A bit back and forth through the opening of the week of the 8th before trough is backing into the GL and more overall warm, humid southerly flow is back as the Atl ridge is backing west. First week near normal / below overall Warming the second week / humid / more storms chances. Ridge and heights look to come up towards the end of the second week into the east.

The height and expanse of the Western Atlantic Ridge / Bermuda high was less than forecast from the medium range. The 850 MB >20c stayed just south or we dealt with clouds/storms. the 594 line is just south of the area. We do get a blast of the stronger heat >20c 850 mb temps overnight into tomorrow but the front and storm clouds may blunt the highest readings potential. Still think we get some upper 90s in the hot spots today (97/98).

warm / wet too.

TTN/Park the cool spots typical of park more typical of TTN since 2018 or so.

A agree in this case it was a cooler 1/3, warm 1/3 and we'll see if August (1/3) end up on the plus side by way of warmer period once past the first week. Think we'll tunr more humid similar to end of June/early July towards the second week with that comes some hot days and storms.

That was early AUgust. We'll see id go warm / humid and much warmer than the first 7 - 8 days.
