Actually not at all. Maybe a slight boost but upwell down only 20 feet and temps are in the 50s. Especially if the track is a normal recurve which puts us on the offshore wind so e which really really upwells. We need another sandy track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday beat it. I posted this data a couple pages back. Were you able to get any of the data going back to 1975? I cant figure out how to get it other downloading one year at a time.

Rtd208 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Temp up to 91 here, add another day onto the heatwave. I believe this is day 7 in a row of 90 and above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euripides Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So much for widespread Thunderstorms for today. Does Vegas take bets the under each time they call for rain? Take the under and you would have made a fortune this year outside of a handful of losing bets. Was a steam bath in Manhattan after a brief shower when I left around 5pm.

Morris Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Today's continued insane dew points. 77 in the park and LGA, 78 in JFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombsAway1288 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 That line just moved through here in northeastern bergen county. Was under the brightest echos on radar. No wind but very heavy rain with lots of thunder and lightning. Hearing lots of sirens now so I guess lightning struck somewhere around here considering there was absolutely no wind. Pretty good storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dWave Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Most vivid, intimidating lightening I can remember. Whoa. People kind of freaking out on the street.

I can still see it off to my east and the storm is over the LI sound. I guess that's what crazy high dew points will bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Central LI force-field is still holding. Great light show as we watched storm heading right at us and once again it just vaporizes on our doorstep. That may be premature...there is still a slight chance we get a sprinkle.

Of the places I have ever lived, this area gets the least amount of thunderstorms. As soon as storms pass Greenlawn they die a quick death. Even where I grew up in Melville is much better than here. And the few decent storms we got were during the work day. My mother in law made sure to tell me how great those storms were haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Gotta say its been a pretty impressive heat wave...hi's last 7 days here of 90,94,96,98,97,93 and 92...low temps between 73 and 78 during that stretch. Missed todays rain, 0.50" past 7 days...may keep this 90 streak going a little while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 84/79 at the Wall St helipad right now - brutal. 81/78 at the park. These dewpoints have been insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be able to pull off 90F the rest of the week. Central Park may fall short some days, but EWR/LGA and most of us should continue tomorrow, Thurs, Fri, maybe through this weekend. The disparity between NYC and EWR 90 degree days will be extreme at the end of this season. Here, the stretch of highs has been: 90, 92, 95, 96.4, 94, 90, 90. Lows all 73-78 except day 1.

masomenos Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 While the worst of the heat hasn't been nearly as intense as some of the more recent 100+ degree heatwaves, the longevity is starting to approach more rarefied territory. The Central Park record for consecutive 90+ days is most likely out of reach, but you'd think LGA or EWR might have a crack at it. Anyone know their records?

I believe LGA record is 12 too. That looks safe. Right now LGA has 6 straight (89, 89,) 97, 98, 98, 98, 93, 91. Lows 75 - 84. Hottest day overall was Sat (8/13) 98/84 mean temp 91.

bluewave Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 While the second half of Augusts doesn't look as hot as the first, several regional stations have a shot at yet another top ten warmest streak which began in May 2015. Warmest to coolest monthly departures so far: POU...+5.3 LGA...+4.9 BDR...+4.8 PHL...+4.3 EWR...+3.8 ISP....+3.8 TTN...+3.8 NYC...+3.7 JFK...+3.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
