80 / 71 and cloudy as an area of clouds quickly moves through. Partly sunny, more humid and hot today. Low mid 90s and higher humidity will add to the index with isolated daytime and evening storms. Fri (7/14) humid, hot and more scattered storms later in the day. Places with enough sun will add a 90. Sat (7/15) and Sun (7/16) warm, humid with widespread storms possible with slow moving soakers. More clouds around but any breaks where and when the sun comes out will warm up quickly. Rain totals could become flood level with these storms, and available moisture >2 - 4 inches in places. Mon (7/17) and beyond. Overall warm, humid with blasts of stronger heat from the southwest ridge nearby or skirting the area. Should add a few 90s Mon - Wed but storms chances continue. As the Western Atlantic Ridge expands and west and pulses with the trough into the GL and NE continued storms chances.

70 / 61 and partly to mostly sunny. Warm one on tap as we move into the seasons first sustained heatwave and overall warm to hot period. Upper 80s to low 90s for those that start the heatwave today. Very isolated storms if any later this evening (doubt any, although one did pop last night into NW NJ). Wed (7/12) stronger heat into the area with low to mid 90s. By Thu (7/13) even stronger heat pushing up on s/sw flow 850 MB temps >18c with humidity and isolated storms chances. Some mid to even perhaps upper 90s in spots. Fri (7/14) higher humidity and continued hot more scattered storms (potentil soakers) with more clouds around (ala last holiday weekend). Where and when the sun is out it heats up rapidly under >16-18C 850 mb temps, Sat (7/15) and beyond - overall warm to hot and humid with storms chances. The western atlantic ridge is epanding to edge the east coast while the western rockies ridge balloons trough remains into the GL. The east stays warm to hot as the stronger heat is nearby and skirts the area with storms chances. Way beyond perhaps trough moves in and out quickly towards the 24 and the western heat poised to blast east.

73/ 69 mostly cloudy with some breaks in the clouds, another larger line of clouds and some spotty showers is over WNJ moving into the area but clearing in the afternoon beyond that. Warm and drier, mid upper 80s today. Heat returns Tue (7/11) with stronger heat Wed (7/12) and Thu (7/12). By the weekend trough pushes against the building Western Atlantic Ridge which is also linking into the southeast ridge and with it comes more humidity and storms chances. Where and when the sun is out it warms quickly so more 90s chances. Sun (7/16) and beyond overall warm to hot with stronger heat skirting the area and overspreading at times. Continued storm chances as well. Stong heat signal 7/17-7/18.
