Nothing to talk about. Maybe some rain Sunday and Tuesday next week. Not a lot though, if any. I can see how the first full week of August could be a little wet. We'll see.

Very quite here. Enjoy the lovely summer weather !

Hot week ahead..maybe turn out to be hottest of this summer

The southwest flow is enhanced from the negative heights extending from Alaska to western Canada.

Attention Doc, CP, and anyone else NW of NYC. Slow moving storms moving in your direction.

Frank, they fizzled out up here.Just some mild thunder and lightening but nothing in my bucket.

70 degrees, 88%. Looks like a hot week coming up.Was out fishing in PA Thursday-Sunday with mornings in the low 50's there.

LTG and thunder 9pm-10:30, all to my north , only a few drops of rain ! The .18 came early this morning

Already sticky 77 degrees and 81% humidity!! How many days until winter??

Heavy t storm, .42 fell, 72 degrees 91%.

Not moving much on radar loop!

I believe CPK hasn't had an official heat wave since 2013.
Forecasts for me have 90s straight into early next week.

Although Central Park is 95 degrees right the dew point is 60 and in the fifties in other locations so it doesn't feel too uncomfortable out side

The southwest flow is going to continue bringing us warm temps through the rest of the work week. You can expect lower humidity levels by the weekend with some rain on Sunday. Next week does not look as warm as this week, though that can still change. Hopefully we get a nice rain day. A large mid level trough may sweep through the area next week and along with it could be a rainstorm. We'll see.

Yeah I saw that too, kind of surprising. Warmer than LGA and even Newark.
Even one of the pro mets noticed its kind of unusual, its become the cool spot in recent years.

Although temps. will still be in the 80's this weekend, humidity levels should not be as high thanks to the Hudson Bay cyclone and -NAO

Gotta watch for storms tomorrow afternoon. Looks like the strongest cells will be off to our west and gradually weaken by the time they get here

OK, I need some help trying to nail down the timing of the front tomorrow. It seems like it can come through anytime between 4 and 10pm from what I see. Anyone have a better idea on a window? We have our local carnival starting at 6, so I'm hoping it comes through at 4ish and passes quickly.

Janet, I believe it will come in pretty early. Between 1-4pm.

Thanks Frank, I've been trying to figure it out since last night! Been looking at the models every run looking for a trend!

It's a slow moving front and those are always tricky to figure out. If could start raining between 1-2pm but when it ends will be tough to figure out. GGEM has it raining until 7pm! GFS has it out of here by 5pm
