CAT5ANDREW Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 This heat wave was a bust. NWS had low 90s for Monday/Tuesday here, and we topped out at 85F yesterday and 83F today. Warm weather but not the type of heat advertised.<br /The high dewpoints and high heat index made up for it though.A temp/dew combo of 95/55 would be less oppressive then the past several days.

Warm weather but not the type of heat advertised. At your location I could have called a bust a week ago. It's been 90 or 89 here for at least 4+ days.

Well, then, maybe the NWS needs to hire you. Forecasts for Westchester were much too warm. I even thought we'd hit 90F one day. Forky had slated Central Park for two 90F days.

NorEaster27 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 NWS and the earthlight torch group busted forecasting the heat from NYC on east, no one is denying interior NJ was hot. Still the weather has been above average for late may / early June. My pool is up to 83 after being around 70 two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forky had slated Central Park for two 90F days. HPN hit 87. 10 or 15 miles west hit 90 at least once, and NYC missed 90 by a hair.

Bust is as ridiculous a word to be throwing out there as "torch" was/is. Everyone knew it was going to be well above average, but the forecasts of 90+ were a fail, especially in Westchester. Over the weekend, NWS had us slated for 91F Monday and 92F Tuesday, and we've not even passed 85F this week. All you have to do is compare the forecasts to the actual temperatures, and you'll see that the heat was overdone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 HPN did go above 85. 86F yesterday and 83F today is not low 90s. I was talking about my town specifically, anyway. We had a high of 83.3F today and 84.7F yesterday. Above average? Certainly! Impressive torch? Definitely not! Records are in the mid-upper 90s now.

Above average? Certainly! Impressive torch? Definitely not! Records are in the mid-upper 90s now. Using subjective analysis (and even worse, subjective language) and arguing about it is pointless to the degree that its annoying. Impressive doesnt have to equal record breaking by any means (otherwise we'd all have a much different view of snowstorms, right?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 NYC on east Ok, so even if someone admits they busted on NYC, who exactly busted on the "on east" part"? Either back up the claim, or stop saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ok, so even if someone admits they busted on NYC, who exactly busted on the "on east" part"? Either back up the claim, or stop saying it. I don't recall anyone calling for big warmth east of NYC...I'll admit that I busted on NYC, but certainly not for EWR and all of NJ ( majority of my forecast area verified). It's been in the 80s pretty much everywhere for several+ consecutive days combined with high humidity -- certainly feeling like summer -- and that was part of the call from nearly 2 weeks ago (when most sources only had spring like 70s, and rainy, for the upcoming 7-10 day period).

Yeah most people made a decent call...Im not sure "bust" is anywhere near the term that should be used, especially considering the 89º in NYC today. Were some people off by a few degrees? Of course. Do we need to keep rehashing it over and over and over again (and considering who is doing some of the rehashing, its a picture perfect definition of glass house meets stone)?

winterwarlock Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 how can anyone argue that it has not been warm. Look at most of NJ and the daily high temp departures. I hit over 90 for the 2nd straight day..by the way the mets busted with temps today, where was that cooler drier air..lol The record high temps are just in the 90-95 range...the avg highs this time of the year are upper 70s tops yet people think that upper 80s are the Memorial Day norm...lol...Im older than most of you. I remember plenty of cold cloudy Memorial days that didnt break 70, we have had a recent stretch of very nice Memorial Days but that is very unusual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the weather has been above average for late may / early June. My pool is up to 83 after being around 70 two weeks ago. You obviously didn't read my posts. I called for a torch in NJ and areas west of NYC. I specifically used EWR as a benchmark for an area that would hit 90 or come close multiple times. I did think NYC would get warmer than they did, but to be fair they got to 89 today. Anybody saying it hasn't been warm or a torch west of NYC is in another world...today was my 5th straight day of departures of +12 or greater. Please. It's not even a conversation.

A-L-E-X Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Violent agreement, 1000%. Here's something I don't get..... why does JFK race out several degrees ahead of the city and LGA every morning? It was 87 degrees here at 12:20 PM so my readings agreed well with JFK-- LGA and NYC were like 10 degrees behind at that time. Then the sea breeze hit like a wall and temps dropped. Yesterday we got to 86 around 1:30 PM before the same thing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Light north/east winds don't seem through to keep temps from rising. But once we starting seeing winds switch to the SE, by 2pm temps that will stop: 000SXUS51 KOKX 311557OSOOKX NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN WEATHER ROUNDUP NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY 1200 PM EDT TUE MAY 31 2011CITY SKY/WX TMP DP RH WIND PRES REMARKS CENTRAL PARK SUNNY 82 61 48 E10 30.23R LAGUARDIA APRT SUNNY 78 58 49 NE12 30.20R KENNEDY INTL SUNNY 86 60 41 N5 30.20R NEWARK/LIBERTY SUNNY 86 56 35 E7 30.19S Yeah this is what I mean-- look at how far ahead JFK is lol. Sea breeze season is basically over, unless you get a SE or due S wind you won't get a sea breeze around here because the SST is already in the upper 60s. This is also good news if you like T-Storms, because the Ocean doesn't weaken them as rapidly now as it does earlier in the spring (which is why we got some loud boomers Monday morning.)

pazzo83 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 NYC on east Uhh, yesterday NYC was 89/70, which on the day is +12.5 (the avg for the day, 79.5, is 4.5 degrees higher than the avg high). The day before the avg was 78 (86/70), which is +11, and today, as of the 9am ob, we are at 76 already. That's right, at 9am we are already 1 degree above our average high.
