1993 one of the best summers EVER

 

The max 850 mb temperatures from Thursday into Friday around +22c should approach the August monthly highs since 1979. So the surface highs will come down to the timing of the daily convection potential. Best chances to reach 100° will probably be the usual NE NJ warm spots around Newark. Maybe even around LGA or other warm parts of Queens.

Active storm weather continues to prevail in New Jersey especially in Central NJ. I stopped counting how many Severe Thunderstorm Warnings I encountered so far.

2019 to 2021 has been the most active through August 10th on record for NJ severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings.

For this time of the day, the entire northeast seems to have a lot of scattered storms and rain around.

It’s a tropical airmass with PWATS and dew points near the higher end of the range for this time of year,

How would this compare to August heat in our lifetimes?  Excluding 1953 of course....I'm thinking of 1980, 1983, 1993, 1995, 2001, 2002.....those were the hotter ones.

And how would this compare to 1953?

very small chance of a shower my local mets on tv not the thunderstorm we got

Yup.  That screenshot was from the evening update when storms were already moving in.  At noon it was still 30%.  

.50" last night for my area.

0.60 in the bucket from yesterday's bookend storms in the AM / PM but did manage 91.  Today clouds and storms don't appear to be an issue and highs should soar into the mid 90s / upper 90s in the warmer spot.  The heat surges tomorrow (8/12) through Sat (8/14) as 850 MB temps rise to near 20 or >20c.  Outside chance of 100 in the urban spots and maybe the park can match the 97 from later June.

A front comes trough Sunday and then a very humid southerly flow ahead of the remnants of Fred. Beyond that more humid / warm southerly and onshore flow before the ridge builds back in later next week for the next surge of warmth.

Had the best shelf ive seen all year. One of the most intimidating non svr storm ive seen

Was driving on the garden state parkway and seen it too.  Had white knuckles from driving thru that storm. No wind, just torrential rain and one heck of a cloud to ground light show.

Some amazing years on that list!  The only one of the 40+ group after 2010 is 2016.  Shows how our truly hot summers have become endangered by all this humidity and rain :(
