if you look at central jersey historically, 102 F .seems to be a temp rarely exceeded.

hightstown, for example, up until today, it's hit 100 F. at least 29 times, but only 5 times has it been 103 or higher.

What happened in July 1936 to get them to 110? And NYV to 106? I wish someone had some maps (850 preferably :P) of that day!

It is interesting to see lows like that here as it is quite uncommon but there is really nothing enjoyable about that unless you have a romantic night swim thing planned lol (or perhaps he wants a monthly weather prediction to come to fruition, lol)

Whether the low is 75 or 85, it is still insufferable. So might as well keep Central Park's low at 84, so we keep our daily average of 94 and a departure of +16. It looks more impressive.

here's what SPC has for their map.. a bit hard to read, but basically in that 23-24C ballpark... The corresponding surface temps do make sense with these 850 temps.. 24C mixed down dry adiabitically to the surface puts you pretty much right at 100... tack on a couple of degrees for a good synoptic west - northwesterly flow which adds some downslope and there you go... and for Newark.. tack on an additional, extra 5 degrees just for being Newark.

Part of this is where the air mass originated, which is undergoing severe drought, which allows the air mass to be warmer that otherwise would be.

I heard it's official now. the 108. (good, no conspiracies to worry about...)

Considering Trenton hit 105 before the storm rolled in, it all seems legit.

I wonder how hot they would have gotten had that storm not rolled in?

Ray, thoughts?

107? i dont see it lol...i see 106 in Trenton and Newark. I guess trenton raced back up to 106 after their brief tstorm.

That thing must have autoupdated lol-- do you see the 102 in the middle of Monmouth County? That was a 107 earlier or the heat is making me see things LOL

piece of new upton discussion:

DANGEROUSLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA

THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH HEAT INDICES OF 105 TO 110. NUMEROUS RECORDS

HAVE FALLEN ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH NEWARK ESTABLISHING

A NEW ALL-TIME RECORD OF 108...AND BRIDGEPORT THUS FAR HAS TIED

THERE ALL-TIME AT 103. ALL THE MAJOR AIRPORTS EXCEEDED THE CENTURY

MARK.

AN ANOMALOUSLY WARM RIDGE ALOFT COUPLED WITH VERY HIGH DEW

POINTS...GENERALLY IN THE 70S...PRODUCED THE HIGH HEAT AND

HUMIDITY OVER THE REGION TODAY. THE SOURCE OF THE HOT AIR HAS BEEN

ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS WHERE A STAGNANT RIDGE

ALOFT HAS ALLOWED FOR THE HEAT TO BUILD OVER THE LAST SEVERAL

WEEKS.

AS FOR ANY THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE INTENSE HEAT...AN ISOLATED

THUNDERSTORM IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ALONG THE SEABREEZE FRONT

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...OR ACROSS NORTHERN NJ WHERE THE

INTENSE HEAT MAY BE ABLE TO BREAK THE CAP. THERE WAS A LONE CAP

BUSTER ACROSS CENTRAL NJ WHICH HAD NECESSITATED A SEVERE

THUNDERSTORM WARNING. ANY CELLS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE STRONG TO

SEVERE WITH ALL THE AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENERGY...CAPES RUNNING

2000 TO 4000 J/KG.

MCS OVER LOWER MICHIGAN IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE BEFORE REACHING

THE AREA LATER TONIGHT. THIS WILL BE WATCHED CLOSELY SHOULD THE

COLD POOL WITH THE CONVECTION BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF FOR A

LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. SOME MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS MAY BE ALL

THAT THE AREA SEES.-- End Changed Discussion --

I dropped to 93F via cooling from the T-storm passing well south of here. Amazing to drop that much without a drop of rain, shows how hot it is.

Alex, that 107 looks like Eatontown, but I doubt its legit. Most highs in Monmouth have been 101-103.

Some town in Central NJ I think-- Ray mentioned it earlier.

On the day after the hottest day of the 1930s from when no records still stand, just a few miles south of Newark where they recorded a high of only 103. Call me skeptical lol.

Definitely a false reading, I recorded a high of "only" 100.5F here in Colts Neck, the town immediately east of Marlboro.

I know Colts Neck. I grew up in Howell. My parents lived down there for 30 years. Was at Delicious Orchards for the first time in years last Saturday actually.:thumbsup:

It does indeed look like a bogus reading.
