Cfa Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Got up to 95, the heat index peaked at 109. Still didn't compare to early June as far as oppressiveness goes, today was nothing actually. for the heat returning, it's welcome here.....snowfall, not so much lol.

famartin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersWx92 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEXtreme Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 But many states have all-time highs from the 30s with actual air temps of 110-115 But the city's all time record high is 106. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 But many states have all-time highs from the 30s with actual air temps of 110-115 So? They've gotten that high plenty of times since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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.

ict1523 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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.

famartin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersWx92 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Still 83.8 here at 1:10 AM. That would be quite something if I stayed above 80 the whole night, that's definitely never happened before here as far as I remember. *Edit: Now 84.6 at 1:35 AM.
