I know this is out of the area, but some of the dews further south are out of control:

Current conditions in..

Williamsburg, VA (KJGG): 88/84

Fredericksburg, VA (KEZF): 90/81

West Point, VA (KFYJ): 88/81

Fort Eustis, VA (KFAF): 89/89 (uhh)

Washington, DC (KDCA): 90/81

Beware the AWOS* dewpoint, it can be wrong sometimes (more often than ASOS, certainly)...

(Williamsburg, Fredericksburg, West Point and Fort Eustis are all AWOS's, with Fort Eustis looking grotesquely incorrect)

In many ways it's awesome how variable our climate is here. Multiple 1-2 foot snowstorms last season with blizzard conditions, to 100-105 degree heat and 110+ heat indices now.

Totally agree. I love how variable our climate is and feel fortunate to live here...I could never survive in a place like CA, or even in the South where they rarely/never experience winters like we do. It's nice having four very distinct seasons.

Everything is about Heat Indexes now..lol... Heat index of 110? Check out the 1930's heat waves when actual temps were hitting 110 and higher. Try imagining life during that time with no AC as thousands die.

But the city's all time record high is 106.

Not in this part of the country

Only 4 days out of June, July and August are there still record highs from the 1930's in Central Park. Yea it was hot but obviously it's been that hot many times since. Only the all time record high stands from 1936 at 106 but we've been within a couple degrees of that a few times since.

Point is he said 110+ actual temperature. If he was talking about this part of the country it has never happened and if he was talking about the central states they've cracked that number several times since, so either way he's wrong.

LGA just went up 2 degrees at 11pm to 88 and their dewpoint is up as well. Damn.

Wind shift from S to SW. Pretty impressive. JFK would jump too if the wind would switch for a bit. It is a lot lighter though, only S @ 9mph now compared to 20mph+ from earlier this afternoon.

Were definitely off to a good start for tomorrow's highs if temps are rising already lol. That southwest wind is killer.

You can question the validity but several state records are from that same date and except for CT/MA they all are over 75 years old

State Temp Date Station Elevation (feet)

Conn. 106 July 15, 1995 Danbury 450

Del. 110 July 21, 1930 Millsboro 20

Maine 105 July 10, 1911 N. Bridgton 450

Md. 109 July 10, 1936 Cumberland and Frederick 623, 325

Mass. 107 Aug. 2, 1975 New Bedford and Chester 120, 640

N.H. 106 July 4, 1911 Nashua 125

N.J. 110 July 10, 1936 Runyon 18

N.Y. 108 July 22, 1926 Troy 35

Pa. 111 July 10, 1936 Phoenixville 100

Vt. 105 July 4, 1911 Vernon 310

It's also interesting that Newark was only 103 on 7/10/36 and most places' record highs from that year are from 7/9, not 7/10. Newark in fact has record highs for both those dates from 1993 at 104 and 105.

If you adjusted tonight's MAV and MET forecast for Friday with the error observed in last night's MAV and MET for Thursday's high, you'd get the all-time record high for TTN :arrowhead:

Models missed by about 4 degrees for today. That would yield what, 107-108 at EWR? LOL
