Wow that must've been a spectacular sight. I can only recall experiencing two other continuous lightning events, there was one back in late 2014 in Suffolk and one last summer in Orlando. Neither storm was nearly as impressive as last night, however all three occurred at night/sundown. It's a shame last night's storms weren't directly overhead though.

Another 80F low for me, I've been at 80F or greater for roughly 50 hours and counting.

There was a really good one in I think 2007 or 2008 along the South Shore of Long Island, but again, it was a nighttime storm. Just nonstop for an hour or so.

I'd say the chance of a watch being issued is like 70% now.

Instability, LI's and Capes are increasing quickly ahead of that line.   3000's capes widespread.

upper air dynamics are already a given.

77 is your warmest?  Wow.  ISP dropped to 79 and FRG couldn't get below 80.

Yes, had one low at 78F now that I recall thinking back to it. Might just shatter both on Tuesday with the predicted low of 79.

[Morris]

LGA matched the record high of 97.

81 is the highest ever recorded for the NY Harbor bouy.  Both these links show records of 27.2C, or 81F.

LGA 97 at 6 pm.

[Morris]

Weak storms approaching. We got all the scorch and none of the rain. 

[Rjay]

Cell phone pic from the south shore of LI of the weak storms in Westchester and Connecticut.

[psv88]

Disgusting outside. Pouring sweat after mowing the lawn. 

[nesussxwx]

Got into the southern edge of that storm entering Newark. Very gusty. 03".

[Rtd208]

Current temp 90/DP 74/RH 58%

[Cfa]

Looks like another miss for the south shore.

[Morris]

Park has another miss. Dropped to 79 with the rain, but gave us another day with a 75 dew point. How many days now?

[Allsnow]

Pouring here! Close to a inch of rain. The humidity is about to go down to more respectful levels. 

[Morris]

0.06" in the park.

[Allsnow]

Wow! So much more comfortable outside now. 

[psv88]

Dark clouds and getting windy. Some thunder. Most of the rain will miss me. 

[Rock888]

Storms missing to the north, storms missing to the south. Still brutally hot and humid. Yuck.
