Can't remember a heat wave this early, though I don't think we actually met the criteria for an official one. This was only the 6th time around the area that we made it to 95 or warmer by May 20th. 1953 1962 1976 1996 2002 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newark is usually the hot spot. Anybody else think that way? Yes I agree. I have posted about this a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it probably comes down to LGA being the new UHI capital after the vegetation growth started to block the NYC sensor. The difference yesterday was the axis of warmest temps shifting toward New England along with the historic 80 min at LGA. It's tough not to break or tie all time heat records when you start the day so warm. That part of the city really retains heat at night.

Central Park temps are definitely not representative of Manhattan anymore. We barely dipped below 80 overnight (78) and we are literally on the Hudson River, where water temps are maybe in the upper 60s to around 70 now.

There's that, there's the snow measurements. KNYC is arguably one of the more prominent and referenced obs sites in the country, so it's pathetic how little attention is given to make sure it's accurate and representative.

The last day of a heatwave usually overperforms especially if the cold front slows down. 90 today would be a heatwave but not that unusual for mid to late May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Two potential washouts on the modeling next week, one on Monday and one on Thursday. Both events look aimed more towards the morning but timing can change. The NAM, GFS and GGEM have some areas exceeding 2" of rain on Monday.

NJwx85 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The latest HRRR has multiple lines of storms in the area this afternoon. Lots of towers going up as we speak. SPC has upgraded our entire area into a marginal risk. High hail potential with such steep low level lapse rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it has some storms popping up later down that way but saying multiple lines is a stretch IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
