They don't issue a heat warning for the temp but for the possible heat index. That was expected to be in upper 90s to lower 100s.

Heat Advisory probably would have been sufficient today. Most HI levels are in the mid and upper 90s plus theres been a breeze most of the afternoon. Right now the storms don't look all the impressive so we'll see if they hold together or not.

I was able to see the tops of the storms over the Hudson Valley and Orange County all the way down here on the south shore. Very impressive anvil tops for a time.

 

I can see the anvil now on that lone Fairfield County cell.

Yeah Considering its presentation on radar I was quite surprised of its lack of precip.. The storm was pretty much over head for about 30 mins too..

Rain today = 0.02" Lets see what this bowing line of storms can produce later on..

I drove past Middletown on Route 17 around 3pm through a massive thunderstorm with cloud-to-ground lightning and heavy rain. It was at its peak around Goshen, but the sun returned as I continued southeast towards NYC. I was coming from my parents' house in the Poconos and they had no precipitation, just distant rumbles of thunder.

Later this week, GFS suggests we may have a shot at 70F high or lower for NYC on Friday. Cooler sfc high to the north and hvy rains training along the coast could mean a cool July day for SNE/NYC. We'll see if it holds on later runs.

My local forecast shows a high of 79F in Dobbs Ferry on Friday with a chance of showers. Even that would be nice...upper 60s would be welcomed with open arms. Even our hottest Julys have a few cooler days...I believe 2010 had a couple prior to Independence Day.

I think the second half of the month is closer to normal temperatures with more arctic blocking (falling NAO/AO) as well as the western ridge retrograding and permitting more trough amplification in the east. We might still finish the month in the +2.0-2.5 range though given the incredibly hot start.

The view from West Harlem, looking at your storm in the distsance, I think.

18z GFS goes nuts with the death ridge

 

12z gfs, ggem and ensembles als hinting that the WAR continues to build west later next week (7/16 - 7/22) and hooks with the western ridge pumping heights into the east.

Going home from the Poconos and driving through Middletown? 84 to 17?

Yay my town is on the map lol. But seriously that was a good storm here in Bernardsville. The winds didn't underperform and kn ocked out power a couple times but ultimately got it back. Certainly the most impressive storm for me personally since the supercell (and subsequent microburst) on July 29th, 2009 in Bedminster.
