Yeah the ground has dried out again. I'll be watering today. Hopefully we'll get a decent soaking Wednesday night into Thursday. 

Dries fast this time of year and the low humidity only speeds it up.  Next chance Thursday for rain

We may have to wait until after the summer solstice later this month for our first official 3 day heat wave reaching 90° or warmer at Newark. The trough looks to take up residence around the area for the next several weeks. A continuation of the spring blocking theme since March 20th with the addition of a strong +PNA.

It hit 89 here, but felt pretty comfortable with the dewpoint down in the mid 50s. Nice day.

As Bluewave pointed out, it appears we're gonna have to wait awhile for any significant heat. Today was probably our hottest day for the next couple weeks.

Under mostly sunny skies, the temperature rose to 84° at Islip, 86° in New York City, 89° at Newark, and 87° at Philadelphia. The Islip reading missed the daily record by 2°.

Tomorrow will be somewhat cooler with highs in the upper 70s to perhaps lower 80s. Rain will likely arrive late Wednesday or Thursday. In the wake of the system, temperatures will reach the upper 70s into the weekend.

The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead.  

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.1°C for the week centered around May 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.48°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.35°C. Neutral ENSO conditions are underway. The neutral ENSO will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the summer or perhaps early fall.

The SOI was -17.36 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.157 today.

Historical:

 

1860: Iowa's infamous Camanche Tornado, likely an F5 storm, kills 92 and injures 200. Every home and business were destroyed. It was one of the most damaging families of tornadoes ever to strike the US and resulted in more farm fatalities than any other tornado except for the Tri-State tornado. 

1921 - A cloudburst near Pikes Peak CO killed 120 people. Pueblo CO was flooded by a twenty-five foot crest of the Arkansas River, killing 70 persons. Fourteen inches of rain was reported at Boggs Flat, where a hard surface road through nearly level country was washed out to a depth of seven feet. (The Weather Channel)

1921: Heavy rains caused flash flooding over the southeastern portion of Colorado. The flooding cost the lives of 100 people and millions of dollars in property damage.

1959 - Thunderstorms in northwestern Kansas produced up to eighteen inches of hail near Salden during the early evening. Crops were completely destroyed, and total damage from the storm was about half a million dollars. Hail fell for a record eighty-five minutes. The temperature dropped from near 80 degrees prior to the storm to 38 degrees at the height of the storm. (David Ludlum)

1987 - Six days of flooding in South Texas culminated with five to six inch rains from Bexar County to Bandera County, and five to nine inches rains in Gonzalez and Wilson Counties. Total crop damage was estimated at 500 million dollars. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Early morning thunderstorms in southern Texas produced wind gusts to 86 mph at Port Isabel, and wind gusts to 83 mph at South Padre Island. Unseasonably hot weather prevailed from the Southern Plateau Region to the Northern High Plains. Fourteen cities reported record high temperatures for the date. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Thunderstorms developing over the Southern Plains Region during the afternoon hours produced severe weather into the night. Thunderstorms spawned eleven tornadoes, and there were 169 reports of large hail and damaging winds. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 80 mph at Newcastle, OK, and Wilson, OK. Softball size hail was reported at Monahans, Childress and Groesbeck TX. Monahans TX reported six million dollars damage. Five inches of rain deluged Geronimo OK. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

 

1993: Early morning severe thunderstorms dumped huge hailstones across northern Oklahoma. Hail, up to 6 inches in diameter in Enid, went through roofs of homes, damaged three jets at Vance Air Force Base, and did $500,000 in damage at a car dealership. Winds gusts reached 70 mph at Vance Air Force Base as well. Hail damage to the wheat crop was estimated at 70 million dollars. 

 

 

1997: It was a chilly day in the East. The high temperature at Philadelphia International Airport was only 59 degrees, tying a record-low maximum for the date set back in 1881. The temperature at Middletown, Pennsylvania rose to 58 degrees, breaking the record-low maximum for the date of 59 degrees set back in 1915. Washington, DC only reached 58 degrees, breaking the old record-low maximum of 59 set back in 1915. Central Park in New York City only reached 61 degrees.

Wouldn't take much to get 95+

If the pattern flips in late June we'll see 100s. 

I don't necessarily disagree, but that would assume the entire nothern hemisphere is boiling?  Right now, it appears some unusually warm air is trapped in the northwest atlantic, keeping us from being below normal in the present pattern?  In winter, I can see how the southern Pacific jet iinjects warmer air into the continent, but I wouldn't think it would as pronounced in the summer months?
