ForestHillWx Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Oddly, I didn't have a single thought of its lack of efficiency as it banked right over my yard. Just not something you see often out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I was a teen with no ac then, probably hopping in a fire hydrant. Philly had an 83 dewpoint. It seems close to impossible to get such extreme heat (100+) with extreme humidity in these parts. It takes everything lining up to get triple digits, humidity that high would hold temps down from max potential. That must of been some air mass. I can remember one time I forget the year with something similar, I went to a city pool the line was insane, ppl were passing out standing in the sun, the staff started hosing down the lines to keep cool. That pool water temp was disgustingly warm too. People soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heatwave originated over the Iowa corn belt which was wet right before the heatwave began. The previous earlier historic heatwaves going back to the 30's were during record droughts. Not easy to record a 90 dewpoint with temps over 100 in North America. 5:00 PM 100.9 °F 148.5 °F 90.0 °F 71% 29.83 in 10.0 mi SW 15.0 mph - N/A Scattered Clouds METAR KATW 132200Z 23013KT 10SM SCT200 38/32 A2983 RMK SLPNO T03830322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 To be fair, hitting an arbitrary threshold on a scale that fell into almost total disuse decades ago isn't exactly a meteorological show-stopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one screw up I had was chasing Isable home. Not too exciting up here but a major damaging wind event down in Md. when I got back to school there were huge trees down on campus. My roommates said the wind was incredible. Should have stayed down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Next 8 days jumps to +11degs. (87 vs. 76). Is the average low really 68 in Central Park, at mid-summer anymore? This means we will be near +4.1degs. by the 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means we will be near +4.1degs. by the 26th. Yeah the 1981-2010 Central Park summer avgs always seemed a little lower than I imagined an NYC summer. Maxes out at 84/69. I think it was the only site that actually got cooler than the previous 30 yr normal. (for July) I know it used to max out at 85/70, and before that 86/69. LGA gets to 86/70. If you follow the progression of normal through the big cities DC to NY the LGA avg fits in. The Park's peak avgs is the same as JFK (but JFK stay there at 84/69 for a shorter time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 10 years ago today. A cluster of heavy thunderstorms produced torrential rain that resulted in widespread and significant flash flooding across the region. Maximum 1 hour rainfall rates were estimated at 2 to 3 inches. The storm total rainfall for this event ranged from around 3 to 6 inches. Nassau Community College measured 5.18 inches. Other amounts included 4.20 inches in Holtsville and 3.35 inches in Fresh Meadows. Thunderstorms produced many frequent and intense lightning strikes that resulted in more than 20,000 customers without power across portions of Long Island, as reported by the Long Island Power Authority. A severe thunderstorm produced an EF1 tornado in East Islip Terrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I would change Florida to San Diego for waves and Mamouth for Stowe for snow. Definitly has the feel of a pop up convection day today. Clouds are building already on the sea breeze front.
