famartin Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Parents have gotten 0.55" in Ewing. Much less to the north and northwest, much much more to the southeast. Radar estimate is over 2 1/2 inches over in Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 by the way...we're going for a four day heat wave tomorrow. not bad. For some areas. NYC and LGA haven't reached 90 yet. Most passed 90 yesterday though. JFK reached 90 yesterday but not today and not tomorrow (based on wind direction) Today, no one but Newark reached 90. Heat wave for Newark and Jersey away from coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Your thermometer is in the sun bro. It's probably because we didn't get any storm here...just a few drops of rain in a sun shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 by the way...we're going for a four day heat wave tomorrow. not bad. 4 day heat wave for you and my last 90F was June 9th. Today probably would've made it as temps were 87-88 by 1pm. Yesterday my high was 89.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 4 day heat wave for you and my last 90F was June 9th. Today probably would've made it as temps were 87-88 by 1pm. Yesterday my high was 89.0. We've been lucking out by a few degrees this entire summer. We've been in the breaks of clouds during the right times..etc. Another example being the lack of rain cooling today.

tornadojay Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 18z GFS ain't pretty. Coastal hugger. yea.. but on the positive side, it does look like it gets out of here fairly early on Saturday to still squeak out a decent day... perhaps maybe not so much on Eastern Long Island.

Allsnow Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Average high for today is 84. LGA and NYC didnt reach 90 today or yesterday. JFK did yesterday and Newark reached it today and yesterday. Thanks.....i guess ewr will take the heat wave......other then today, the last few days have been great. I will take these type of heat waves......90's and low humidity.

I will take these type of heat waves......90's and low humidity. If the last few days were a heat wave then give me a 60 day heat wave and make it last till Labor Day. Today was terrible though. Never got too hot with temps but the humidity and the sky conditions were vomit inducing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 For some areas. NYC and LGA haven't reached 90 yet. Most passed 90 yesterday though. JFK reached 90 yesterday but not today and not tomorrow (based on wind direction) Today, no one but Newark reached 90. Heat wave for Newark and Jersey away from coast. I got up to 90.5F here in Dobbs Ferry, NY; it was the first above 90F reading here since June. Newark always hits 90. Heatwave criteria for that sauna should be raised to over 105 degrees. A station located on an airport tarmac surrounded by 12-lane highways and skyscrapers isn't exactly an honest place to record weather. It's too bad the NWS doesn't have the money to maintain a network of weather stations independent of airports so as to have a real perspective on long-term climate patterns. For a station as warm-biased as Newark to be official is a disgrace. Of course, there is a philosophical debate as to whether we should be measuring the weather conditions as they would exist in nature (Central Park) or the conditions that affect people's lives in a highly urbanized area (EWR, to some extent). Amen to that--weather is perfect for July-warm, even low end hot, but a breeze and humidity that's not over the top.... I haven't been a fan of July since I moved back to our primary residence in the NYC suburbs to work when I was 18, after spending the first 17 summers of my life at our cabin in the Poconos on a lake high in the mountains. My parents are both teachers so spend the entire summer at our vacation home, which is on an acre of wooded land adjacent to an 80-acre lake at 1500' elevation in NE PA...most beautiful place in the world to spend the summer, almost always crisp at night yet warm during the day, stars are brilliant, thunderstorms are much more dramatic with orographic enhancement. July average is 77/55, just delicious. NYC metro has horrifyingly sultry weather from late June-late August, just nasty most of the time. Works wonders on the vegetable garden but I hate the feel of summer in a hazy, scorching, crowded environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works wonders on the vegetable garden but I hate the feel of summer in a hazy, scorching, crowded environment. I guess it's all about perspective, but I don't think summers in the NYC metro area are that bad heat/humidity wise. By your description you'd think we live in Georgia, lol. Average # of 90F days are about 15-20 for most places save for Newark; that's less than the majority of the US. Even Juneau Alaska averages more 90F days than NYC: http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/online/ccd/max90temp.html Summers are much more brutal once SW of PHL, where avg 90F days are 35+ (our record territory). I think maybe if you spent the summer somewhere in the suburbia metro area and not immediate NYC you'd feel differently. B/c I also feel that the city is a turn off in the summer time mostly due to the gray hazy skies, terrible air quality, plus tons of people. That's not the case once you ahead a bit outside of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
