June observations and discussions...

0z NAM not surprisingly is a bit cooler for tomorrow's temperatures. The detailed temperature maps on E-Wall aren't updated yet, but the 95+ degree area is smaller compared to its previous runs. Upper 90s are likely IMO near and SW of NYC (Central Park the seemingly obvious exception based on recent trends), but I doubt it's going to get to 100 tomorrow except for maybe Newark. The NAM also overestimated the heat a bit with the last heat wave.

Monmouth is one cool place. And it did the best in the tri-state area in the boxing day blizzard.

Yeah it's definitely a very nice part of NJ, IMO. Plus, we are often one of the best spots in larger snow events.

Don't want to drag this too much off topic, but here are just a handful of pix from various parts of central/western monmouth.

I don't know, this heat is very impressive to our west over OH/IN. Even Pitt reached 96F today at 1200ft ASL. It wouldn't shock me to see EWR at 101 or 102.

It's going to be a close one for a lot of places west and SW of NYC. I don't see Newark having much problem getting up to the 99-100 degree range, maybe a bit higher, but other areas close to NYC IMO should stay a bit below 100. Regardless of exactly how hot it ends up though, a difference of 1-2 degrees doesn't change the fact that it's going to get very hot.

That's just noise dude...a forecast model won't be exactly the same every time even 12 or less hours out. It's not like it's a significant cooling trend or it dropped the surface temp a few degrees. Compare these two maps and you'll see what I mean. It's almost exactly the same. The 850 temps might even be warmer than the 18z run.

Looking at these maps the two runs are definitely close, 850mb temps are a bit warmer, although at the time I made the first post the detailed temperature maps weren't out yet. There's no big trend anyways, just a difference of barely 1-3 degrees or so.

Going by recent trends though, perhaps it could be a bit warmer than what the NAM shows? A trend I frequently notice with the NAM is that it often initializes with hotter temperatures than what it modeled in prior runs (12z NAM hour 6, 18z NAM hour 0), although I'm not completely sure if it's the previous runs being too low or the initialized temps being too high.

beyond this weekend, GFS keeps the mean trough in the east with the heat in the center of the country. Temps look close to normal next week.

euro/ensembles are warmer by 7/4 into the holiday weekend. 06z gfs a bit warer too in that period. We may hover around 90 mon- wed before more stronger heat on/around 7/5

6/28 dailies

REB: 91/64 (+3) [-0.6]

NYC: 88/68 (+3) [-1.1]

EWR: 92/66 (+3) [-0.7]

LGA: 91/71 (+5) [+ 0]

JFK: 86/68 (+3) [-0.2]

ISP: 86/59 (+1 ) [+0]

TTN: 90/64 (+3) [-0.5

Today's rain almost seals it for NYC. It dropped the lows to at least 69. Instead of the forecast for mid 70's.

Even a 95-97 high today is is only a +8 to +9.

This heat really surprised the long range models. Notice how the ridges all verified further east

from the Central Pacific right across the US. The expansive east to west ridge is lining up

right on top of the major US drought pattern.

Climate report is out. NYC got down to 68 under the thunderstorm. Forecast low was 75.

Newark got down to 72. Missed the heaviest part of the rain.

Amazing how bad the drought is becoming for most of the country while we have been enjoying above normal precip for the past couple of months.

Disney is great, I was down for a wedding at the Grand Floridian...great time. I hear good things about the Cornado also.

But it's kind of like winning a race against someone who slips on a banana peel right before the finish line. Not very exciting and you know the other guy should have probably won.

Not sure I get that same feeling. We were solidly normal to below normal most of the month of June. If not for a few (3 or 4 at most) days of very extreme heat here and there (record breaking in certain instances and obviously ridiculously above normal), all reporting stations would have been noticeably below normal.

Monthly temperatures for Newark:

Newark is right there also. Should be close.

wet month as far as having measurable rain on a given day-18 days so far with at least a T or rain or more...

pretty annoying if you ask me. Let it rain in the spring, fall and winter when nobody has outdoor plans.
