Records: Highs: EWR: 102 (2011) earliest 100 degree reading NYC: 97 (1993) LGA: 99 (2008) Lows: EWR: 47 (1957) NYC: 47 (1980) LGA: 49 (1980) Historical: 1953 - A tornado hit the town of Worcester MA killing ninety persons. The northeastern states usually remain free of destructive tornadoes, however in this case a low pressure system, responsible for producing severe thunderstorms in Michigan and Ohio the previous day, brought severe weather to New Hampshire and central Massachusetts. The tornado, up to a mile in width at times, tracked 46 miles through Worcester County. It mangled steel towers built to withstand winds of 375 mph. Debris from the tornado fell in the Boston area, and adjacent Atlantic Ocea. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1966: Hurricane Alma made landfall over the eastern Florida panhandle becoming the earliest hurricane to make landfall on the United States mainland. 1972 - A cloudburst along the eastern slopes of the Black Hills of South Dakota produced as much as 14 inches of rain resulting in the Rapid City flash flood disaster. The rains, which fell in about four hours time, caused the Canyon Lake Dam to collapse. A wall of water swept through the city drowning 237 persons, and causing more than 100 million dollars property damage. (David Ludlum) 1987 - Lightning struck Tire Mountain near Denver CO, destroying two million tires out of a huge pile of six million tires. Thunderstorms spawned three tornadoes around Denver, and a man was killed at Conifer CO when strong thunderstorm winds lifted up a porch and dropped it on him. A thunderstorm near Compton MD produced two inch hail, and high winds which destroyed twenty barns and ten houses injuring five persons. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from North Carolina to the Central Gulf Coast Region. Hail in North Carolina caused more than five million dollars damage to property, and more than sixty million dollars damage to crops. Hail three and a half inches in diameter was reported at New Bern NC. Thunderstorms in the Central High Plains produced eighteen inches of hail at Fountain CO. The temperature at Del Rio TX soared to an all-time record high of 112 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Severe weather abated for a date, however, showers and thunderstorms continued to drench the eastern U.S. with torrential rains. Milton, FL, was deluged with 15.47 inches in 24 hours. Record heat and prolonged drought in south central Texas left salt deposits on power lines and insulators near the coast, and when nighttime dew caused arcing, the city of Brownsville was plunged into darkness.

63 and clear for now. Looks to cloud up later today with some scattered showers possible but not widespread.. Trough and subsequent (#3) ULL/cut off lift out and flow goes around to the SW (westerly) pushing us back towards to normal. With enough sun Sunday (6/11) and Mon (6/12) could over perform mid / upper 80s in the warm spots. Next ULL cuts off (#4) under the advancing expansion of the ridge 6/13 - 6/17 into the Great Lakes and slowly moves into the northeast. Southerly flow could deliver meaningful rain in the period Tue (6/13) and later in the week. Clouds look to be nearby but any clearling will see a warmer more muggy result. Beyond there ridging is moving east but a persistent weakness into the east coast will continue the tendency to cut off ULL underneath the ridge. Ridging looks to potentially build towards the final 8 - 9 days of the month.

Records: Highs: EWR: 99 (1999) NYC: 96 (1925) LGA: 97 (1999) Lows: EWR: 48 (1945) NYC: 47 (1879) LGA: 50 (2000) Historical: 1816 - A famous June snow occurred in the northeastern U.S. Danville VT reported drifts of snow and sleet twenty inches deep. The Highlands were white all day, and flurries were observed as far south as Boston MA. (David Ludlum) 1816: The following is found on page 31, from the book, "History of the American Clock Business for the Past Sixty Year, and Life of Chauncey Jerome," written by Chauncey Jerome. The book was published in 1860. "The next summer was a cold one of 1816, which none of the old people will ever forget, and which many of the young have heard a great deal about. There was ice and snow in every month of the year. I well remember on the seventh of June, while on my way to work, about a mile from home, dressed throughout with thick woolen clothes and an overcoat on, my hands got so cold that I was obliged to lay down my tools and put on a pair of mittens which I had in my pocket. It snowed about an hour that day." This bitter cold event occurred in Plymouth, Connecticut. 1972 - Richmond VA experienced its worst flood of record as rains from Hurricane Agnes pushed the water level at the city locks to a height of 36.5 feet, easily topping the previous record of thirty feet set in 1771. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Thunderstorms in the Laramie Mountains of eastern Wyoming produced golf ball size hail, and up to five inches of rain in just one hour. Half a dozen cities in the Upper Mississippi Valley reported record high temperatures for the date, including La Crosse, WI, with a reading of 97 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)(Storm Data) 1988 - Snow whitened some of the mountains of northern California and northwestern Nevada. Twenty-six cities in the central and eastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Rapid City SD with a reading of 104 degrees, and Miles City, MT, with a high of 106 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from southern Oklahoma and eastern Texas to northwestern Florida through the day and night. Thunderstorms spawned 22 tornadoes, including a dozen in Louisiana, and there were 119 reports of large hail and damaging winds. A strong (F-2) tornado at Gross Tete LA killed two persons, injured thirty others, and another strong (F-2) tornado injured 60 persons at Lobdell LA. Softball size hail was reported at Hillsboro TX.

63/44 limited clouds but smoky skies continue. More upper 70s / near 80. Its a battle between overperforming warmth due to the recent dryness and smoke keeping it cooler - so would go mid / upper 70s. A bit cooler Thu (6/8) and Fri looks cloudy and chance of some showers/storms in the afternoon as front comes through. The ULL start to life out of the Northern NE by this weekend and the trough flattens. The weekend looks mainly dry (once past Friday evening / overnight). Warmer SW flow by Sun (6/11) and Mon (6/12) and depending on enough sunshine could push temps to the upper 80s and 90 n the warm spots. Heights rise into the east and yet another ULL cuts underneath the ridge and presses east 6/13 - 6/15. ECM has a more northward track and GFS a bit closer. Either way, a period of clouds and potential meaningful rain. Beyond there towards the other side of the mid month a warmer overall shift. Perhaps more typical shower/storm chances s well and some heat with building sauna out west.

62/43 passing very light shower. Should clear and also become smoky. Upper 70s/ 80 in the warmer spots with enough sun and less msoke. Trough still backed into the northeast through Sat (6/10) before lifting out. Mainly dry and cooler, highs 70s Wed - Fri with next shot at showers Fri night into Sat. Trough lifts out Sat (6/10) and more SW flow by Sun (6/11) and Mon (6/12) could allow for a two day warmup before next ULL cuts off under the building bridge and moves east by 6/14 - 6/15. Next meaninful rain chances. Once the next ULL clears out and it may be in and out quicker than the last 2 Memorial Day (carolinas) and this recent early June (Northeast one), it will be much warmer by mid month. Warmer as heights rise and much warmer and next shot at heat perhaps enhances by the dryness, pending on how much rain we can beenfit from early next week. 6/16 and beyond looks overall warmer than normal with some hot days.

Sunny and up to 63. Dry and a bit below normal the next 4 days as trough remains backed into the northeast pushing in cooler / onshore flow at times. Will be dealing with nearby ULL and widespread clouds at times. A split with upper 70s today in most spots, perhaps a stray 80 with enough sun. Tue (6/6) 80 for many /low 80s in the warmer spots before cooling down a bit in the night as ULL moves through. Thu (6/8) and Fri (6/9) into the 70s for the most part. Trough lifts and flattens by the weekend a brief surge of warmth Sun (6/11) and Mon (6/12). Next potential ULL moves through under the building ridge 6/12 - 6/14 with perhaps next rain potential, before heights rise and warmer regime moves east by mid month. Beyond there we'll see how warm and dry we remain and how that influences temps potential.

Memorial day ULL chilled the Carolina shores, but persistent onshore flow bringing warmer waters to our coats
-
down to 45 and now 55. So Cal pattern continues (minus the June gloom most days). Sunny as region in clear (hole) in the clouds. Trough and subsequent ULL creates persistent Onshore / E/ENE flow through the 9th. Overall below normal with a few near normal days sprinkled in. Rain chances continue to look minor with perhaps some showers Tue (6/6) and Sat (6/10) as ULL swings through. Upper 70s / near 80 Mon - Wed (6/7) with a cooler Thu (6/8) and Fri (6/9) in the low / mid 70s. Beyond there Euro lifts trough out between 10 - 12 and heights rise by mid month with a strong warm up. GFS has been less consistent in its depiction. Overall looking warmer (enhanced by recent dryness, cooler lows).

69/61 ENE wind. Clouds pushing in and highs kind of capped where they are. Some mist/drizzle possible. Clearing on Sun (6/4) and warmer into the 70s, have to see if clouds are stubborn and linger a bit, keeping it cooler. Overall trough into the Northeast / Mid Atlantic the next 5 - 7 days. As flow comes around to the SW we will have a warm day (near normal) sprinkled in Mon (6/5) but temps a bit below normal overall and despite an anomalous trough and potential cut / ULL guidance has limited precip chances. We'll have to see if that increses Wed/Thu (6/8). Trough lifts a bit next weekend and it looks to head back towards normal. We'll see if there is a day of warmer / hotter around the 10/11th. By mid month heights look to push ridging east and we'll see if the persistent weakness into the NE and S- Canada creates more onshore flow.

yeah we were lucky in late April and some of us two weekends ago outside of that its been so dry in the area. We have become a So-Cal like pattern of late. We'll see of the trough and subsequent cut off increases rain chances Mon - Fri of this coming week.
