Diego Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Will thinks there was some residual effects from Mt. Pinatubo also. That winter had so many wintry storms-- only a few of them all snow though. I think the real gradient was to our south. How much snow did LGA officially measure that winter? I know NYC had 53.6" and JFK had 46" I had 47"-- it was my first winter of measuring snow. I have been keeping track of temps since the very hot summer of 1991, but just was not interested in measuring snow until the 1993-94 winter. Most of whatever happened in 1993-94 (outside of the cold) was blown away by 1995-96 though-- that winter was amazing in every sense of the word. 58.5"(25.6" of which fell in Feb., 94).

ag3 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 58.5"(25.6" of which fell in Feb., 94). Best part was that there were 20, 1"+ events! 20. Imagine tracking 2- 3 storms a week, for the entire winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Out of those summers, only 2002 and 2010 were true scorchers (which I define as at least 30 90 degree days for the whole year.) Last year should have been more like 40+ days over 90 at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I would not be shocked if Saturday is the hotest day at the coast including jfk Maybe back to back 100+, like 1993 and last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAT5ANDREW Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I remember you were headed for 50-- something you never thought could happen there! I am still stunned at that number.JFK was incredible as well what was there 31 or 32 days there plus 3 100 degree days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmagan Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 LOL this is July 1936 / July 1966 stuff. What were the 850 temps on July 4, 1966 when LGA hit 107 and JFK hit 104 Here are the soundings from July 3rd and 4th 1966 for Albany, NY. Disregard date at upper right of title, guess naming convention has changed since the 1960's. 00Z July 4 1966 12Z July 4 1966 00Z July 5 1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they broke their record from 1983 by many days lol-- they also had 10 days of 95+ breaking the record from 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEaster27 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Maybe back to back 100+, like 1993 and last year? honestly I dont think so this time around, thinking more like 96-98 friday and saturday, tomorrow may be 92-94. Either way this was one hot week with dual 96's monday and tuesday for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Tomorrow, The ocean area looks like they will have to burn off thick fog. And by the time that happens, the sea breeze might have kicked in. Something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I think saturday turns out much hoter than the 92 forecasted by me with a downsloping NW wind It's a lock to get to the upper 90s if not 100 as long as the winds aren't from a southerly direction. During the last, less intense bout of heat it made it to 97F even in Long Beach off the NW wind. It's going to be mighty hard for the seabreeze to hold off all day esp. directly on the shore, but we'll see. It'll likely spike like crazy before it happens though (reminds me of watching a sleet line advance during a winter storm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks for those soundings! July 4, 1966.... take a look at these temps... NYC 103, JFK 104, LGA 107 (I believe all three stations had 3 days in a row of 100+).... what I want to know is why was Newark not hotter than LGA that day? What was their high? 105?

JBG Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Don't forget the blackout of 77 complete with looting in NYC. I think the blackout was just before the heatwave, or maybe the first day of it. I think it was a lightning strike, not a heat event, that caused the blackout. And yes, I remember it well. i was in college then and didn't have much money. I was driving back from visiting a friend in New Jersey that night and decided to treat myself to a ride back home up the Henry Hudson Parkway, figuring it would be toll free. The generators kept the tolls operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderdude Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 NAM 2m dew points at 18z Friday That is impressive and think Friday will be the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBG Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 No. Any and all snowstorms that truly verify the winter storm warning criteria impress me. Anything less than that I enjoy but are more common than 6 inches+. We rarely go through an entire summer without at least one 95 degree reading or higher. When we don't get that hot it is a freak occurrence a la 2009 but plenty of times we have more commonly gone through winters with no snowstorms meeting the WSW criteria. Well right off the top of my head, I dont' think we went over 95 in terms of my lifetime in 1960, 1965,1972, 1974, 1979, 1992, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2007 (despite a spectular late August-October) or 2009. If you leave out April we didn't meak that mark in 1976 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBG Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Last year should have been more like 40+ days over 90 at the park. Actually last summer there weren't many 88's and 89's in the park. In years past, most heat waves started with a day at 88; last year didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
