Irene approached NC from the SE, it looks similar to Floyd actually with it's proximity to Florida. Either way, we'd be very hard pressed to have Erika ride this far north with what is modeled to be overhead.

 

I don't see any major trough coming in to sweep Erika so it could very well slowly make its way up the coast. Models are becoming more bullish on her intensifying as she approaches the Bahamas.

7/9 : 79 at NYC, before that 7/4.  I think if you factor in the record warm Maym, NYC has to be close to the most 80 (+) degree days for the year.  Only 7 below normal days since 7/4, next shot to break that is Thu (8/27) maybe.

Not going to happen on 8/27.

At this rate central park will fiinish the summer +2 (+).  The park has had lower amount of 90 days than surrounding metro locals similar to 2006.  Many other spots had multi 90 degree days this summer.  But for sure its ben steady warmth and not blazing bouts of heat.  Central park and points north (by you) will certainly have the lowest chance of 90s this week but other metro areas could get there Monday.  Been riding above normal with recent dryness and sun filled days.  Still even the confines of the cool park will continue above normal.  850s looks 10 - 15 most of this week and gfs and ecm build in 15 - 18c 850s by 8/30 and it looks poised to continue into early Sep..

El Niño winters are said to be relatively steady in terms of temperatures, without the extremes of cold and warmth prevalent in La Niña winters. Could the same pattern be true for this summer, in other words lots of 80's, almost no 90's, and almost no 70's or 60's?

I wouldnt say almost no 90s (pending on where you are many sites are at avg).

Think it'll make a legitimate run at 1st? I know these nights coming up will be cool, so that might hurt it. Sunday and Monday should help boost it though.

In large part, the reason for the consecutive 80F streak isn't so much that we've been in a torch regime, it's that there's been an absence of organized precipitation events thus summer. As a result, we saw virtually no days in the past couple months in which the majority of the day was cloudy with rain around. Usually every summer, you can count on at least a day with significant cloud cover/debris, therefore keeping temperatures sub 80F in NYC.

 

So the 80F streak, IMO, is mostly due to the very dry pattern over the past month. 500mb heights have actually averaged below normal since mid July.

I agree as well. This theory makes sense. Great post, iso.

Of course this is the reason.
