dWave Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 To the south..DC is baking. 91 dew 80. Heat index 109. Not just a brief time at 80, they been maintaining 80 dewpt all day. If we had breaks of sun we'd really be oppressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Looks like low 80's dews made it as far north as CNJ/SNJ. The first regional 80 dews that I can remember were back in July 1995. https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KPHL/1995/7/15/DailyHistory.html?req_city=Philadelphia&req_state=PA&req_statename=&reqdb.zip=19019&reqdb.magic=1&reqdb.wmo=99999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Chris we had some in the humid summer of 1996 too, but the temps weren't as high as 1995. I remember we had either 81/81 or 82/82 one day. Might've happened again in August 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, doesn't look like we'll be able to get close to the record set last August. https://weather.com/news/weather/news/record-humid-streak-jfk-airport-new-york-city If you live in the Northeast, you know it has been a hot week with tropical amounts of humidity that made it feel even more miserable as soon as you stepped outdoors. In one location, the uncomfortable humidity stuck around for a record amount of time. JFK Airport in New York City broke the record for most consecutive hours of a dew point of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or higher Wednesday morning. The dew point, or measure of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, rose above 70 degrees at 8 p.m. EDT on Aug. 9. It remained at or above 70 degrees until 11 a.m. EDT Aug. 17, when it dropped to 66 degrees. The previous record was 178 consecutive hours in August 2003, according to Alaskan climatologist Brian Brettschneider. It is quite remarkable for a city at 40.7 degrees latitude to spend over a week socked into such an oppressively humid air mass; daily dew points in the 70s are typically found in the Deep South in the summer. An 84-degree dew point was measured at JFK Airport Saturday afternoon, sending the heat index up to a searing 112 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Next 8 days down to +3degs. (Avg. 73). By morning of 27th we should be just slightly positive for the month. However, we may be more concerned about wind, tides and rain, since CMC still has tropical storm conditions here for an entire day, at that time, albeit from a moribund storm.

CIK62 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I do not know which swirl gives rise to this storm that the GDPS keeps showing. This time the beast gives up the ghost right over us. http://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=ggem&p=sfcwind_mslp&rh=2017081900&fh=228&r=conus&dpdt= As usual the CMC has a bunch of spinning tops, (PresLevel @144hrs) probably not possible, which look more like a computer game.

SnoSki14 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The odds of a heat wave are very low even without the infuence of the eclipse. The only day where 90F+ temperatures are likely will be Tuesday and tomorrow could be slightly lower than today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
