Historical:

1873: A tornado in Hancock County, in far west central Illinois, destroyed several farms. From a distance, witnesses initially thought the tornado was smoke from a fire. A child was killed after being carried 500 yards; 10 other people were injured. 

 

1966 - The northeastern U.S. was in the midst of a sweltering heat wave. The temperature at Philadelphia reached 104 degrees. Afternoon highs of 102 degrees at Hartford CT, 105 degrees at Allentown PA, and 107 degrees at LaGuardia Airport in New York City established all-time records for those two locations. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

 

1975: Up to 3 inches of rain caused flash flooding throughout Las Vegas, NV. The main damage occurred to vehicles at Caesars Palace with approximately 700 damaged or destroyed with several cars found miles away. North Las Vegas was hardest hit with $3.5 million in damage. Two people drowned in the flood waters.

1987 - Lightning struck and killed three men playing golf on a course near Kingsport TN. The three men had sought shelter from the rain under a tall tree on a small hill. Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in New Jersey, with 5.2 inches reported at Trenton State College. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Thunderstorms around Fort Worth, TX, produced wind gusts to 76 mph at Burleson, along with two inches of rain in thirty minutes. The record low of 46 degrees at Youngstown OH was their sixth in a row. (The National Weather Summary)(Storm Data)

1989 - Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain in the eastern U.S. Bowling Green, KY, was soaked with 4.99 inches of rain during the morning hours, and up to ten inches of rain deluged Oconee County SC. The temperature at Alamosa, CO, soared to a record warm reading of 91 degrees, following a record low of 35 degrees the previous day. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

It’s really the humidity. We haven’t had any sustained heat. The beach is empty once again despite the morning being full sunshine. Not a drop of rain fell here yesterday after the predawn showers. 

True.   We've only had 2 90 degree days here and they were in April.

2PM:

EWR: 91

LGA: 89

NYC: 87

FRG: 87

JFK: 86

LGA has a decent shot of estsblishing a heat wave. But it seems the forecast is turning to more wideapread storms tomorrow so maybe not? Sitting at 89 here, feels like 94.

People will come out if it's 30% chance of late afternoon to evening shower/tstorm. But when the forecast shows threat of rain all day from morning, it scare them away. Even if the chances aren't that high. Plus when it's clear there smoke days too smh

The NWS point and click for me leads with "Heavy Rain." When you look close it shows 30 - 40% chance of rain all day long.

60% chance now for tomorrow and evening which means major fireworks cancellations even if the rain is expected to clear by 7pm
