Figured as we start getting into the longer range guidance it would be interesting to track how the 4th of July weather could turn out.

Heres' a look back at the last several 4th of July's

Lol yea it must have been a N or NW wind for JFK to beat LGA and KNYC

 

It was for the most part. Out here, the winds shifted late in the afternoon to a SW wind, dews were overall higher out here for the entire day. Sea breeze front jacked them up to near 60.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, NYC subforum may not have the volume of red-tag involvement compared to say NE, but we have some of the best non mets in the whole forum posting here. Bluewave, Isotherm, Uncle, Don S, Sacrus, Earthlight. I get more weather info, facts, forecasts, stats from you guys than anywhere, even a NWS AFD. Keep up great posts.

Couldn't agree more. Even   after reading the official discussions and forecasts from the nws and elsewhere i'm still not sure about a lot of things till I come here to check things out. The others always seem to be a step behind but things here are updated instantly.

Slowly but steadily approaching the 4th of July.  Looking way ahead into model lala land.  The gfs is the first to offer this 360 hour prog.  If such a solution would verify it would be a generally warm day and potentially humid.

the ECM control run with more of a trough into the east and wold imply temps near normal.

 

 

Agree with BKviking above - truly great discussions and stats in this forum.

accuwx has mid 80's for the 4th today...mid 70's tomorrow?...

 

flurries?  I suspect based on the latest overnight guidance, if its not raining we'll be warmer than normal but nothing too extreme.  85 - 90 range.  The core of the heat looks to stay west the first week of July but the we are in an overall warm pattern.  heat returns 4th of july weekend perhaps, on/around the 6th.

I'll be in Florida at that time and it looks like it will be spotty wet down there...I should be away the first two weeks of July...I hope it rains a lot...it will keep temperatures down...

Unc,  Ill be in Sanibel the 10- 14.  I think you go down around the same area.  Anyway Latest guidance argues for the warmer/humid but active pattern early July (including the 4th).  GFS warmer by the 4th with a large expansive ridge with core of heat into the west but coming out in spikes.

Coming up within the 12 day range on Jul 4th.  Overnight runs continue with mega rockies ridge trough into the Lakes and ballooning western atlantic ridge pushing along the coast with rising heights and humidity by 7/1.   Still way out there but such a scenario would argue for warm/humid weather (Bermuda Blues) and continues tstorm and rain chances.  Longer range some hints ridge builds strong into the east by the weekend holidday weekend on/around the 6th.  We'll see wheretodays guidance takes us n.

I don't want to pick on accuwx but their forecasted high for the 4th now is 81...up from 79 for yesterday...I'm more intrested in the weather for the 30th to the 1st along the I95 corridor...I checked their monthly forecast for Tampa and it doesn't have any 90 degree days in sight...it's mostly cloudy with t showers and temps in the 80's...Where i go is know as the Sun coast...Most of the daily pop up showers develop about five miles inland leaving the coast Sunny for the most part...it gets most of its rain from storms that are moving in off the Gulf...

Overnight guidance continues the warm/southerly tropical flow aided by a expanding Western Atlantic Ridge.  As we have been trakcing it looks like an overall warm pattern 85 - 90 but with plenty of rain chances.  Reminds me of a florida pattern.   Hopig the 4th avoids the rain and anything is scattered should it rain.

July 4th now within 240 hours and the warm/tropical pattern remains on most guidance.  The gfs and ecm would imply scattered storms with some downpours, GGEM is wet all day with TS approaching from the south.  I think we'l see Miami style weather all next week with plenty of storms and some clouds but overall very warm and humid.

 

My call fwiw in this range for July 4th is scattered storms temps in the  mid - upper 80s.

Last night and today's guidance is consistent with building back the WAR into the east coast and raising heights 7/1 - 7/5.  This will produce a southerly/tropical flow with warm temps, humid conditons and persistent shower/storm threats which could yield heavy totals.  With that July 4th is looking warm/humid with chance for storms which cuodl produce downpurs.  Partly-mostly cludy/hazy conditions hights 85 - 90 range.

4th of July continues to look warm/humid with scattered storm potential.  Highs generally in the 85 - 90 range - pending on cloud cover.  Very humid.  Will try and hone in on storm potential as we get closer.

Not the euro. 0z run has a high of 24.5C and rain for almost the whole day.

.50"-.75" with most of the rain from 8am to 8pm.

Highs of 75-77 degrees.

I suspect we are in more of scattered showers than washout.  The WAR is flexing its muscle 3/4th and this should allow for some warm/humid conditions.  I still suspect we're more in the mid/upper 80s with HI much higher and scattered storms/clouds.

I hope you are right, but the euro for 3 straight runs has shown 75-80 degree highs with widespread rain from 8am to 8pm.

We'll see how it works out - I hadnt taken a close look at last nights euro was it more convective/storms or just a widespread rain?
