Outflow boundary was clearly visible when it passed through, even though the sky’s fully cloudy.

80/74 now. Had a few raindrops. Feels tropical.

Historical:

1893 - On the first day of summer the temperature at Dodge City, KS, soared to 106 degrees during the midst of a blistering heat wave. The heat wave initiated a severe three year drought in the Central Plains Region. Ironically, at about the same time, heavy rains in the Mississippi Valley were causing the river to swell to its highest level of record at New Orleans, LA. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

1919 - Seven heavy coach cars of a moving train were picked up and thrown from the tracks by tornado winds. A baggage car was set down thirty feet away from the rest of the train. (The Weather Channel)

1954 - A severe hailstorm struck Wichita KS and vicinity causing nine million dollars damage. (The Weather Channel)

1972 - Phoenix, AZ, was drenched with 1.64 inches of rain late on the 21st and early on the 22nd to easily surpass their previous June rainfall record of 0.95 inches. The total for the month was 1.70 inches. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - A tornado destroyed 57 mobile homes at the Chateam Estates trailer park northwest of Detroit, MI, killing one person and injuring six others. Total damage was estimated at 1.7 million dollars. Thunderstorms over Lower Michigan also drenched the Saginaw Valley with up to 4.5 inches of rain in less than six hours. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - The first full day of summer was a torrid one, with afternoon highs of 100 degrees or above reported from the Northern and Central Plains to the Ohio Valley. Sixty-nine cities in the north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. The high of 110 degrees at Sioux Falls, SD, was an all-time record for that location. Highs of 103 degrees at Des Moines, IA, 102 degrees at Fort Wayne, IN, 109 degrees at Huron, SD, 108 degrees at Sioux City, IA, and 101 degrees at South Bend IN were records for June. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - The first day of summer heralded snow in the northern and central Rockies. In Colorado, 15 inches of snow was reported at the summit of Mount Evans and, in Wyoming, 18 inches was reported at Dickensen Park, west of Lander. Heavy rain continued in the eastern U.S. Huntsville, AL, reported a record 11.65 inches for the month, compared to the 0.17 inch rainfall total in June 1988. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

2005 - A slow-moving thunderstorm dumped up to a foot of hail in southeastern portions of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Snowplows had to be used to clear a route through a major thoroughfare in the city. Heavy rainfall from the storm left up to 4 feet of water in city streets, trapping dozens of motorists (Associated Press).

Additional storms into NPA-N NJ

[Picard]

I can see the lightening off to my NW.  All afternoon I've been watching the storms skip off to the north over High Point and Wantage - looks like I'll get something from these, although not as impressive as up north from earlier.

93 for the high at both my stations today.  See if they can get to 90 tomorrow for an official heatwave on the N Shore.

50% chance. More clouds and storms in the area.

I’ve been waiting all day in Westchester. Not even a drop. Let’s see if this line approaching the Hudson holds.

[Roger Smith]

A few days ago I posted a list of all 3-day June intervals (or longer) with departures above 90F. There are 52 involving all days at or above 90, and an additional 28 (now) with the required departure despite not including at least three consecutive days. (edit _ 53 and 27 now as 2024 joins group a).

At present, NYC would have passed 16 of 27 in group (b) below, and in terms of departure, just three of the 52 in group (a). But it could move further up list and qualify for group (a) if Saturday exceeds 89F. I will show these lists again once this current contender is done (next day of 88F or lower will end this one by rules being used, or passage into July will end it; several spells were considerably more impressive if you added in consecutive days in early July or in two cases, late may. It can also be noted that a few April and may hot spells would qualify and this one has yet to pass April 1976 or 2002 for total consecutive departure above 90F.  

If you added 2F to all NYC highs after 2011 and 1F for 1995 to 2010, I think the current spell would then rank 35th (30th but five others in recent years would also increase). If NYC hits 95F on Saturday and 93F on Sunday (or vice versa) it would leave group (b), drop the 89F needed to qualify there, and would sit 24th in group (a). Another 92F reading by monday would move current spell to 12th on list (a). 

A reading of 89 or lower, followed by several hot days, would set up a two-interval listing like June 1966. This spell can only go further than 5-6 days by continuing to hit 90F. All of the cases of nearly extended heat waves in two parts below had interruptions of at least one day 88F or lower, or two days 87F or lower. Given the 2F additional concept, an extended spell now of 88F or higher would adjust to that long of a group (a) interval.

If you've had a longer and more impressive heat wave, you would need to compare it to past data at your location, even in the unshielded heat of past, NYC could have been running 1-3 deg lower than so e places inland in NJ.

(edit, based on provisional data, June 20-23 2024 in group a now at rank 29, and is out of group b)

Warmest morning here so far at 75° at 5 am... reached 97° yesterday.

Currently 76F here this AM, sounds of thunder overnite but no rain.

[lee59]

Already approaching 80 here.

[uofmiami]

Cell just popped by Brentwood, wonder if we’ll see some convection along sea breeze boundary today.

[SACRUS]

 

82  / 71 - sunny and on the way to another 90+. Mid/upper 90s with enough sun.  Showers and storms later pop-u, models have them in the same northern sections of etreme N-NJ, Husdon Valley,CT - we'll see if they are more south than last night, otherwise hot and humid.  Later tonight and tomorrow >20C 850 MB temp come in and through on a SW flow.  Only clouds, shower/storms or debris clouds would spoil 100 degree readings in the warmer spots. 

Trough pushing front through Mon (6/24), but still warm upper 80s to low 90s in the warm spots to extend the heat,with continues threat of shower/storms. Tue (6/25) drier and again upper80s / low 90s in the warmer spots. Brief surge of stronger heat Wed (6/26) >18c 850 MB temps and if dryness persists the next shot at 100's in the warmer spots.  By Thu (6/28) - Fri (6/29) brief push of cooler air to break the heat before ridging into next weekend by the 30th.   Overall warm - hot the next 7 - 10 days and beyond.

 

6/17 - 6/26 : Hot/humid
6/27 - 6/28: Brief cooldown
6/29 - beyond : warmer/ (more 90s potential)

 

 

[SACRUS]

 

Close the month with more ridging into the east.   More NW flow to open next month - warm.

Should be clear, just have to watch seabreeze boundary.  Also watch activity dropping S from inland areas late in the afternoon.

 on the bright side to all this heat and humidity days are getting shorter now.....got to take any good news you can...
