Total steam bath today. I was just outside for 15 minutes and drenched in sweat. Current temp 88.
-
I don't have a height anomaly map in front of me but the high/ridge orientation is further north than usual which drives the heat further north-from the Midwest over top of our area. 850mb temps in this airmass are actually highest over Quebec.
-
When they were warmest today they had a west wind. Downslope probably has something to do with it. Same mechanism as what heats up places east of NYC with west winds.
-
This is also an “over the top” hot airmass where the worst of the heat (relatively) goes north of us, which is becoming more common. Notice low to mid 90s all the way to northern ME. Boston was also about 5 degrees warmer than us.
-
My mother just called telling me how gorgeous it is in Long Beach today. Wunderground stations there are at about 70 (Jones Beach to Captree in the upper 60s) while here it’s near 90. Not quite as horrible as yesterday but still a scorcher.
-
Still 92-93 here.
-
Seabreeze overall seems a bit stronger today than yesterday. Captree/Jones Beach are only in the low 70s. But yep-definitely furnace where I am.
-
Closest station to me at 94 now. I can believe it, it’s absolutely torrid outside.
-
It’ll be even more hilarious when on Tue the media goes with “no heat wave in NYC” because of Central Park’s low readings. To add to the choir here, something needs to be done about it.
-
That's just hysterical. No way they were under 90 when even here it made it to 90 and even over in some places.
-
Made it to 90 here.
-
87 now. Wonder if I can hit 90 before the seabreeze makes it up here?
-
Looks like it's just semi-rotting over you. Nice event.
-
Downpour here, pretty loud thunder. ~30mph gusts as the storm came in.
-
Looks like Long Beach may have gotten rocked pretty good. Hearing thunder to my west now.
-
Pretty gusty here also.
-
This'll finally do away with the pollen and other crap that's been coated all over everything for weeks. In a lull here now but the steady moderate/heavy rain is on the doorstep. Sucks that it has to happen this weekend but we definitely need it.
-
We should all be close to 2" by morning. JFK had 0.3" last hour and the worst of the rain isn't here yet. Most are 0.5-0.8" now.
-
No nothing like that lol. We won’t be getting a foot of rain like that week.
-
I noticed them when I was in LB last weekend. For some reason in my neighborhood here they aren't too bad this spring. Prepare for it to go bonkers now though.
-
And just when I was getting thrilled with the lack of mosquitoes this spring.
-
Euro got wetter too, has a nice 4"+ chunk over N NJ and 3"+ everywhere else. UKMET has 6"+ over E LI. This Part 2 is getting bigger on each model run.
-
Mon might be okay-rain pivots out on Sunday night but still looks mostly cloudy and temps maybe reaching the low 60s. Between the rain tonight and Sunday, Sat looks dreary, raw with showers in between the main shows. I remember lousy Memorial Day weekends but not this nasty.
-
12z NAM-4"+ rain east of I-95, 4-6" of rain for much of CT and LI. 1-2" from Part 1 and the rest from heavy training/tropical feed on Sunday.
-
More models are bumping up the Part 2 amplifying trough/tropical feed on Sun which is what can really pump the rain totals sky high through training and the moist tropical connection. Tonight's overrunning Part 1 looks like a widespread 1-2". As usual the overrunning is pushing north at the last minute to where northern parts of forum and SNE get the heaviest rain from that part. Whether we really get to 4-6" depends on where and how strong Part 2 gets.
