Gravity Wave Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The ultimate nightmare would be a derecho knocking out power the night before the 2 hottest days of the summer. At least Manhattan shouldn't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lord-imagine that. - locally rounds of tropical downpours moving through all day here....74/73 approaching 4 inches since yesterday's training storms got going.

It should be interesting to track over the next 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdp146 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I think its been mentioned but the extreme dew points make it a lot harder for AC equipment to cool a home and therefore can lead to more power usage. 100/60 will take less energy to cool than 100/80. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Wave Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Euro is lower again with the 850s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Rapidly spiked to 86F here with some breaks of sun in the past hour. If we continue occasional breaks, 850s definitely support 90. But we'll probably fall short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_other_guy Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I must be missing something with this talk of 90 today in this forum. Im at 76F at 245pm. It is pouring...again. The only thing today will be is a BN day. What are other posters seeing that I am missing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the smoothed out SV images, it looks like it has backed off on the expansiveness of 80+ DPs a little, but still showing pockets of the 80s shade. Seems like high 70s DPs area wide are becoming increasingly likely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violently agree. If its going to be stupid hot though lets break records, set a new dew record. Doubt it'll happen this time but its only a matter of time until we set a new dew record.
