cny rider Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 We really lucked out here with a marine layer.......made it to 82F briefly after noon, then quickly back down to 79 a few hours later. 77F now, sky finally fully clearing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at 18Z GFS a bit ago, didnt look as hot...roughly normal temps i'd say? Of course, it's the GooFuS. And 18Z as well. Glad to see the Euro has us roasting in the pit of the Slor. Great pool weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s going to be warm, I want to really experience some tropical nights up here. Me wanting it hot isn’t what’s killing people on the great plains. I’d rather find a way to enjoy it than bitch about it. People always die. Whether you or I root for hot, extreme weather has no bearing on anything. It's going to happen and people will die. It's been going on forever. I agree on being fascinated by unusual and extreme weather. Tropical nights up here don't happen too often so I prefer to enjoy it instead of crying about Darwins waiting room getting an early wake up call. Of course, walking around with a mask on in the heat isn't exactly pleasurable but its just for a short time heading into a store or bar. Only the crazies are walking around in public with masks on.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Dew point has skyrocketed to 72 degrees here from mid 50s earlier today. What a difference when you walk outside now even with temps “only” around 80 now. The air punches you right in the face. Gonna be downright brutal with these dews and temps in mid 90s Thurs/Fri. Over under for BUF heat index on Thurs/Fri set for 102? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Looking just outside of the scope of this forecast period at the second half of the week...there are deterministic models (ECMWF) that are strongly suggesting the presence of a 600dm ridge that could be centered just to our south. This is also being advertised by the NAEFS. If this were to come to pass...then H85 temps of 21-23c would overspread the Lower Great Lakes. This would set the stage for ANOTHER heat wave...one that would shadow the current heat spell. Supporting another heat wave are temperature forecasts from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC). The Day 8-14 U.S. Hazards Outlook map includes the Great Lakes region in an area for EXCESSIVE heat during the July 15-21 period...and the corresponding 8-14 temp outlook has a 80 percent bullseye for above normal temps over the region.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I read it!! Service those air conditioners. Don't want them to crap out anytime over the next 2 weeks.

Unfortunately not over here. We’ve been getting daily calls from our electrical provider asking us to conserve usage between 10am and 10pm and their system is already taxed. Lost power the last 2 days. Other day was for 10 hours and luckily yesterday was only 4 hours. With all the people still quarantining or working from home there is more people cranking A/C all day long as well as more pool pumps being run as more people are home to use their pools. If this comes to fruition I bet at least around here there will be many more outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct. And Cali's power problems (recently) have been due to PG&E de-energizing lines during fire weather to minimize fire risk (and lawsuits), resulting in reduced ability to serve load...hence the rolling blackouts. Virtually no other state has this problem. There are pockets in NY where temporary localized issues pop up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was a cable fault that led to problems in parts of the Buffalo region....statewide load has been well under record MW demand levels.
