Next 8 days averaging 83.5degs., or 7degs. AN.

Month to date is  +2.8[79.0].       Should be  +4.2[80.5], by the 24th.

GFS Meteogram still in a love affair with the 90's-----13 out of the next 16 days, with 3 100's for good measure.   Yes we get a cooldown in 9 days, but it won't last.

76.4* here at 6am.   77.4* by 8am.  79.0*, at 9am.  Finally overcame sea breeze?, and hit 80 0* at 10:45am.    83.6* by Noon.

I put together a list of dewpoint and heat index records around the area.

These stats are useless. Yesterday the Park was 85, coolest in the entire metro area. So the 2.8 is not representative of true departure.

Saturday is the first time I ever saw the Euro forecast an 86 dewpoint in the Northeast region. The Euro shows numerous days coming up with potential dewpoints of 80 or greater. It looks like a combination of the recent multi-year historic dewpoint spike, record soil moisture over portions of the US, and the tropical moisture surge around and after Barry.

Saturday may be the hottest HI day in decades. 100/80? Jesus.

Already clouds from Barry's remnants pushing through OH and towards PA.  WIll be interesting to see how much rain and how high temps can get with mostly cloudy conditions Wed/ THu and 850 temps in the 22-24 range.

Spot on.  Bet the under, but it'll be a hot weekend regardless.

Temps and dews have been under forecast all week (other than the park). When heat comes in July you buy, in August you sell. I go with the sun angle theory, models underestimate surface warming in mid summer, over estimate in late summer. But what do i know

if this holds we'll have higher heat indices than in 2011

Agreed, we both know very little LOL.  It will be quite memorable if mid 80 dew points verify in PA and NJ.

I agree.  Averages start to drop off fairly steadily once past 8/10 or so as does sun angle and loss of daylight...

The 6z GFS is a lot less aggressive with dews, low to mid 70s across the area. The 6z also cuts the worst heat off after Saturday, I'm interested to see if that becomes a trend or if its just a blip.

I have been looking at DP forecasts over the last week or so and have noticed that the GFS in general seems to go less aggressive vs. the Euro.  Is this a known GFS or Euro bias?
