Did the same thing yesterday. Not a cloud in the sky at the beach but low fast moving clouds at my house in wantagh. They seemed to appear crossing the bay

This happens a lot during the summer. Sometimes, the low marine layer clouds do not start to form until you are about a mile inland. In those situations, I think the heat of the land causes a little lift and those clouds form.

Is there a marine layer today over Long Island? It's perfectly clear here but looking down Rt. 17 towards the city I could see what looked like stratus and a building cloud deck.

No. Too dry for that and the Flow is coming more from the west

I'm surprised there isn't a marginal risk for tomorrow for the OKX area.  Seems like all the CAMs initiate and the flow is pretty zippy in the mid-levels.  I'd expect isolated severe wind, maybe even a few small hail stones here or there given that that it gets cool pretty quickly upstairs.

You have to wonder what kind of airmass led to the 134F in Death Valley some 114 years ago, or if there were some QC issues with that measurement.

They think it was during a sandstorm which blew superheated sand on the temperature shelter.

Makes sense.

They're at 121F now at 2pm PDT.  Yesterday's max of 124F occurred between 4 & 5pm (one would guess, both had readings of 124), so they've got a ways to go.

Needles, CA (KEED) is already at 122F.

The coast would be the only place for me if I was living in California.
