BDCF continues its movement to the west especially along the CT shoreline with temps in the mid to upper 60s as far west as the Branford area.  Meanwhile it seems like it is getting hung up some near the Riverhead area.  Temps along the north shore from about PJ almost to Mattituck are still in the upper 80s and low 90s.  You don’t see that type of distribution too often.

Possibly interaction with the SBF is holding it’s progress over the island?

Local weatherlink station in Riverhead now showing ENE wind and temperature went from 91 to 88 in last few minutes.

[Snowlover11]

got to 94, now 93

You can actually see how the forks and Peconic Bay are interacting with the front. Looks like Riverhead will cross both the sea breeze and back door front at once. Looks like the front still won't be to the city for a few more hours. It's slowed down some. The sea breeze will be through most of LI before the backdoor. Sea breeze is just about up to Jericho Turnpike. NW then S then E winds today.

The SBF provided some relief, but we need the BDCF to squeeze out the real heat

97° for high today...May record remains 99° in 1996.

Interesting look to that radar with the BDCF moving west through the twin forks and the SB front roughly along Sunrise and the Southern State.  Note the inverted Z appearance with the BDCF making faster progress along the Southern CT shoreline and it being held back some as it tries to move into interior SE CT.  A lot of interesting mesoscale stuff going on in the local area today.

Yea seems to be just west of New Haven and Riverhead.

[Rjay]

Would have been really cool if the bdcf got here before the sb front did. 

[donsutherland1]

The temperature has fallen 7 degrees in the last 5 minutes at Westhampton.

The 98° at Newark was the 2nd highest temperature recorded during the month of May.

Seems like we can do it early and late before the predominant high humidity pattern sets in for the heart of the summer. Almost monsoon like

Yeah, EWR got the June all-time high temperature record of 103° last summer before the historic rains arrived.

dropping here now-winds picking up out of the NE

[weathermedic]

Seabreeze front has made it all the way to the north shore of Long Island. Back door front through central Suffolk county. 

[BucksCO_PA]

93 / 69 locally for the spread today. Highest heat index I saw was 94 degrees.

High at nearby TTN was 92.

96 degrees at PHL was just one shy of all time Philadelphia May max.

[psv88]

Seabreeze front definitely fighting off the back door front in suffolk

You should post the minute by minute obs between 8AM and 9AM when the temp dropped 20 degrees or so in 10 minutes!

[tdp146]

Water temp at the harbor buoy got up to 68 degrees. 64 at the one 30 miles south. I’m sure it’s just a shallow layer but that is quite the warm up in just a couple weeks.
