July high heat WX disco

Yup gonna be several WTF posts coming next week. We go back to early July middle of next week

So far for July, New York City running plus 5 on temperature departures. Boston is at 5.8 above. Our July forecast was 2-3 above normal in Boston and 1-2 above normal in New York. Looks like that average will be higher. Who would of thought from a few months ago that a monster upper high would come in from the Atlantic and produce the longest heat wave of the year over the Northeast? It will cool down from the mid- to upper 90s, but core of below-normal temperatures will stay west of the Northeast, over the Midwest and Ohio Valley later this weekend into early next week. Temperatures will still be on the hot side and humidity levels will briefly drop off before coming back up next week.

Would be nice if you steal quotes you identify who they are from

Many years?    It did this just 2 years ago....  I think it was July 22nd or 25th or something, and numerous 100 and 102 backyard and even some NWS site readings.  It's one thing to spin drama for entertainment sake, but can't it have just modicum of truth to it, too ?

I think KTOLL just emerged from a mini iceage just last year.

That was 7/22/2011 you're thinking of. BDL and BOS hit 103, PVD 101, and ORH 96 that day. That was off a morning low of 81 at BOS, 74 at ORH, and 76 at PVD. Far more memorable than whatever happens today. Even last July 18th was more memorable. BDL clocked in with a 100/78 that day. This "historical" heat wave will not set records for extreme temperatures or length.

Not up here.

 

 

Yeah we stay north of the sfc front as those weak lows track S of us. I could see one of the days getting a little humid with temps in the 80s or so if we get a low to track almost overhead...but most guidance right now has us with more E fetch rather than southerly witht he front stuck to our south.

Heh, let's let the chips fall where they may just yet before making that determination.  Granted, trends suggest falling short of 103 at BOS, but the 1pm ob may be telling.

 

If it pops 98 or 100, then they got a shot at tying ...already we are nearing the MAV MOS numbers, and the hottest hour of the day at this time of year isn't for another 3 hours.  

 

Too soon to downplay.  Also, some of these DPs have surpassed what it did on that day in 2011.  78F at Farmingdale...

WU or TAMU

I just use the raw METARs with "@ma" or whatever to get all of the obs as they update.

 

The Meso map updates pretty quickly too.  I find that is updated before WU depending on the refresh time.  I usually just leave that open in a tab and hover over the stations for the detail:
