I didn't see such posts in this thread, I haven't looked in others, but the closest I saw, which still was far from making such a forecast, was a post by Snowlover76 which wasn't a forecast that the week will be rainy/cool, but just showed what the ECM had on that day's run which had cool temps for this week (which by the way the ECM exaggerated and the GFS underestimated) and a CPC map that in the day it was posted had the region cooler than average for this week. Despite some models exaggerating this week's cooler temps, I don't remember any model showing a LOT of rain this week, although the models did have more rain for the second half of this week a few days ago than they do now (for example, 7/5 GFS 6z run), which also resulted in cooler modeled temperatures.

Euro was posted as being ominous to heat lovers...Are temps in the mid to upper 80s a threat to heat lovers...there were 18z runs of the GFS that showed 3-5 inches...why bother posting that..lol.

So either you are admitting you dont understand the difference between discussing model runs and issuing a forecast, or you are trolling and are lying on purpose (which you've done in the recent past, making claims of people forecasting 30s). Either option makes you look pretty silly.

actually no there was a guy with that trough in late June that said upper 30s according to the models

people also are deleting posts like long range model post like this one that I found because I quoted it....

The end of the run brings in the huge trough again with blocking and a closed ULL; But the period before that has very impressive heat.

well we got the heat but that huge trough would be around this time frame this week and its not going to pan out.

the poster NEextreme insists we will have below normal temperatures the last two weeks of July but I still have not figured out what he is basing it on...I guess he is really into hugging JB

I have never wavered or questioned that this week would have normal temps, yet people were nitpicking with me that we would be below normal.

Did you see the 12z GFS for next week -- absolutely destroys our area with 3-5"+ rains Wed-Sat. Looks like a lot of tropical moisture getting involves.

I agree about the next burst of heat likely after the 15th.

ag3....The whole eastern half of the USA gets into a wet period on the guidance and the Heat stays west of that boundary for the next 7-10 days at least. Of course, this is after tomorrow's potential record hot day.

so these are model runs that were posted, yes they were not forecasts but interesting that anything that shows a rainy solution or cooler ends up being posted while the other 9 out of 10 runs that do not are sort of ignored. Basically there wasnt a lot of posting of model runs when the rain went bye bye for the area.

You must not know how to read....Go back and read my posts Mr Hedi Jones fan ...I wrote NEAR to slightly below normal last two weeks of July.

This guy use to post on another board about how he thought Hedi Jones was the best forecaster out there ... :facepalm:

enough said..

i say ignore

Warlock atleast multi quote.....have no idea what ur trying to say...ag3 basically gives us updates on what the models say in long range.....why take direct quotes and put them against reality, when all it was model discussion....can we no do that on here? Is that not okay with u? Hottest day behind us thankgod

Btw what happened to the heat (90+ ) some were talking about for Friday into the weekend?

ECM has 90 degree heat Fri-Sat, Mon (Sun is cooler due to rain)

Cool biased GFS which sometimes overestimates rain coverage area has upper 80s-low 90s

DGEX continues to build ridge that NAM starts to build, has 90 degree weather. I don't hug individual details of the DGEX but it's within the consensus to build the ridge into the region.

The risk of scattered storm activity and more moisture will prevent this from being as hot as the previous heat wave(s) but this certainly spells a period of above average temperatures coming up, with parts of the area reaching the 90s during some days in this time period, and easily leads to a warmer than average July. Unless I'm mistaken and a 588-594 dm ridge with warm 850mb temps and no strong cool air mass in sight means that the rest of July is near-slightly below average...

today's dailies - it may be time to play some numbers for lotto.

NYC: 86/73 (+4)

EWR: 87/73(+3)

LGA: 86/73 (+3)

JFK: 84/73 (+4)

TTN: 86/73 (+4)

And it felt so nice and comfortable. Now +4 in July is comfortable lol.

There is a fair chance you will be wrong on some of those minimums as the day is not over and the dewpoints are pretty low...also, the day does not end for climatological purposes until 1:00 AM with the clocks having been pushed ahead...

Winterwarlock is delusional. I gave the model output analysis. Never said it was my forecast.

P.S. euro nailed this weeks average to below average temps.

Still a solid 40 days or so left with the potential for extreme heat. In the NYC / LI area I mark August 20th as the general "cutoff" date, just as I make February 20th the cutoff for exceptional cold. Tommorrow is sort of like the January 10th of summer, one could say.

<Please don't reply with a barrage of posts as to how it can get exceptionally hot in September; I know it can...but generally speaking, by August 20th, the worst is almost always over>

11PM obs

NYC: 75

EWR: 76

LGA: 77

JFK: 73 (may get lower)

TTN: 75

NWS Upton @ 65 F and Westhampton @ 64 F at 11:00 PM...the UHI has made significant inroads in Suffolk County over the last 50 years...though not to the point of the Soylent Green envisioned minima now commonplace in NYC.

"Still over ninety out there..."

Id think the period 7/9 - 7/15 finishes above normal.

CPC strongly agrees.

<Edit...meant post 7/15...though you might still be right about the period you brought up>

Very True Statements..

What sadden's me is that around now one can visually realize that we've begun losing minutes of light per day.. Come August especially by the mid to late part of the month by 7pm, you know summer is seriously winding down..

As a kid, i didn't LOVE summer- i mean i liked it - but didn't realize what it was really all about.. Now as an adult, while i still like winter snowstorms, i'd much prefer warmer weather to cold miserable days where you can't do much on the weekends outside..

If temperatures over the next 3 days end up slightly below average, it would most likely be due to the overnight lows, as high temps are generally near average. It's probably going to be the next round of warmth starting Friday that drags the 7/9-15 time period above average.

Thats exactly what im thinking. mon - wed near normal. thu - sun above.

I think you mean slightly above average? Which I do agree.
