Pretty unreal until you realize something similar happened in 1990s Chicago.

 

Probably would have been a good deal worse w/o the a/c.

Every year since 1950 has hit 90 at Newark. LGA only made it to 88 in 2008 and NYC had no August 90's

in 1986, 1982, 1963, 1950 and earlier years.

so in other words this could be considered another extreme event for all stations to go along with the record rainfall in selected locations in the region  in August 2014 - unfortunately these types of extremes along with most others that occur are impossible to predict in advance.........

Both the Euro and GFS have a warmer push for the last few days of the month with S to SW winds and 850's of 16C+.

So it's still possible that Newark could sneak a 90 in right before the month ends. But we'll have to see if the models

hold serve or back off like they have several times this summer with the heat.

I don't buy into any warmth at all-we've seen that all summer only to back off as we get within 5-7 days.  Look at the end of this week-models had 90's for several runs and verification is going to be in the mid to upper 70's.

It would be one of the more impressive cool summer records if Newark could put up the first August with no 90

degree days since at least 1950.

We're talking about only 8 days from now and also nothing extreme just upper 80s..a few 90s...but averages dropping into the low 80s by then so would be +5 to +8 for a few days.

While still well within fantasy range the global models are coming into agreement on the development of a tropical system by the end of this week. Today's 12z GFS takes the system westward through the Caribbean, eventually interacting with both Jamaica and Cuba. Then the system moves NW towards the eastern gulf as the ridge holds strong over the eastern United States. This system is of particular interest to our area because the ridge should be sliding offshore as the system pulls northward. The combination could result in an abundance of tropical moisture surging up the eastern seaboard.

The Euro ensemble mean backing off on the warmth at 12z could possibly mean no 90

at Newark before the month is over. That residual troughing along the East Coast

has been a familiar theme this summer. It would be pretty funny if Central Park

was the only site that could produce a 90 for August.

 

August Highs so far:

 

NYC...90

LGA...89

JFK....87

EWR..89

A very cool August.

All that talk about some heat during the last two weeks of August was another epic fail but not surprising.

September looks to have a progressive pattern. No major chili but no major heat. Perhaps slightly milder then average?

Seems like summer did end by the 3rd week of July, not that it really started all that much anyway.

This week was summery for sure...it does not hsve to be 90s to be summer...it was a warm humid week with highs low to mid 80s with sun...sure sounds like summer to me

Huh? There's been one or two days about average at best this week with moderate humidity when long range models had around 90 or above.

Enjoy those 70's for the next several days.

So much for the dog days of August this year.

NEXtreme is "special"

 

He has only one thing to say ... reminds me of the SNE drive by poster who does two things, predicts blizzards and calls for a repeal of the seat belt law.

 

I think I am on the AGW side of the debate primarily because the people on the other side (Bastardi, et. al.) are totally insufferable.

Oh, forgive me for not talking about the "heat" we've had this summer.

It's been fairly normal. The only real negative departures we've had were in this month. Most stations are around normal for June and July when compared to the warmest 30 year climate block, 1980-2010.

Maybe you're just used to expecting 30 days above 90 when that's simply not normal.

So true. I think with all the hot summers that we went through during recent years, this summer has given a lot of us a bit of culture shock. Myself included.

Lol I hear everyone going around saying this is one of the coolest summers ever...omg...june was above july a tad below and only august cooler...its hasnt been that bad

Most of July's heat was in the first ten days so its been a pretty cool stretch since then... I posted earlier about the lack of 70+ lows since mid July and many stations are close to record territory for least 90 degree days.
