WE GOT HIM Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 What new climate is that? Climatologically this is very close to the hottest part of the calendar year, so I see nothing out of the ordinary about a few very warm days...Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 It looks like places like Newark and La Guardia are on track for 95-96 today with Central Park 93-94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weathergun Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 It looks like places like Newark and La Guardia are on track for 95-96 today with Central Park 93-94. Agreed. LGA, TEB, EWR, LDJ should record their first official heat wave of the summer today (second of the year). Central Park got their first 90 yesterday.

Central Park got their first 90 yesterday. Yeah, it think the 594 dm ridge being further east near the Atlantic prevented this airmass from becoming another 100 degree one. The July 2010-2011 record heat built over the Planes, Midwest, and Lakes before coming east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 William, there was subtle sarcasm in that, I guess too subtle. Did you think I switched to the dark side? Not yet at least... In summer if it's not cloudy and raining it almost always manages to go above normal, even by a couple degrees, and that's against the 1980-2010 climate block, the warmest one on record. Not to say we don't have a few days here and there that manage to be sunny AND below normal temp wise, but it's definitely the exception rather than the rule.

SnoSki14 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Yea it's fairly easy to be above normal in the summer, which could be surprising given its climatological averages are already high, but its also very easy to heat up with no cool air source, plenty of Atlantic ridging and the high sun angle. Still most of the above normal departures come with the mins as highs don't often go above 95. Those extremes you will not see unlike in winter where highs can be some 30+ degrees above the norm.

BxEngine Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Forky, is Monday an evening threat? Seems it slowed down with that s/w from a couple days ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseBlizzard2014 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Today could be the hottest day of the summer. That's mainly due to the high sun angle + WAR. This WAR pattern won't really show up for the second half of the month, so therefore August is the only true summer month left with similar sun angle of June. August could feature heat, but if the WAR decides to stay towards Bermuda, then forget about a 95F+ day ever showing up for the rest of the summer.

And Texas July temps have been declining since 1895...thats weather for you. Hottest temp ever recorded in NYC - July 9, 1936 - 106 degrees. Since 1870, there have been a total of 58 days when the temperature reached 100 degrees or more in NYC. The decade with the most 100 degree days is the 1950s. During the 1950s, there were 12 days when the temperature reached 100 or more degrees. Most cities have doubled or tripled population in the last 60 plus years with buildings, concrete, airports, cars, etc... and lousy siting of thermometers. Imagine the heat of those days around TODAY... it would be far far worse and would easily surpass those records by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i think the heat island is mostly the reasons for higher min temps....that also helps warm up the ocean near the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Yea i think the heat island is mostly the reasons for higher min temps....that also helps warm up the ocean near the coast. Fortunately, the hottest temp in NYC occurred during the Dust Bowl era, where extreme heat and drought occurred in the plains, where most our extreme heat waves originate so one could expect to have a 100+ degree day. There was a decent drought in the plains during the 1950's as well, which may explain the numerous 100+ days during that decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the 100 degree days at Newark since the 90's compared to the 50's and 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you already start at very high temps as averages like they have in Texas I wouldn't expect a linear rise forever and ever. There are other factors that may influence overall climate. Most regions however, whether rural or urban, have been rising slowly but steadily. NYC btw and the surrounding areas have been basically the same since 1970. Development skyrocketed after WW2 and topped off by the end of the 1960s. Aerial photographs confirm this. So we've had 43 years with very little change in the urban landscape. Yet temperatures continue to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UHI in the city hasn't changed much in a while, so the higher summer mins are mostly a result of the elevated dewpoints which is helped by the record warm SST's and increased moisture.

The latest guidance has been consistent with rebuilding the WAR after the trough liftt out by next weekend (7/14). There will be more southerly and some potential SE flow for a bit but it looks similar to the past progression where some more heat on/around 7/15 after a break between 7/11 - 7/14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
