94 today

88.5 in Muttontown & 87.9 in Syosset today for the high.

I look forward to the cooldown

Damn dewpoints are the 60s area wide. I didn't think it was that humid.

Still some cool air around.

Yes, we are supposed to have frost tomorrow morning here.

Today will be the hottest day of our brief warm up with today reaching the 90's in all areas - maybe even in the higher spots like here in East Nantmeal. This will however be nowhere close to record levels with the mid to upper 90’s record heat for this date set way back in 1962 remaining safe. Tomorrow will be several degrees cooler and may not reach 90 in all areas. Rain chances will be ramping up with an approaching cold front tomorrow later in the day and will continue through Sunday. Some models are hinting at some of the most beneficial rains we have had in quite some time. We turn chillier than normal for the Memorial Day weekend with highs likely to remain in the 50's to near 60 degrees both Friday and Saturday. The area farmers and green thumbs have their fingers crossed even if it could impact some holiday plans.

May 1991 was the hottest May in New York City. Where I was living in Queens at the time we had 10 days 90° higher. Well, I don’t like this heat at all. This is absolutely nothing compared to how May has been in the past.

EWR already at 105!!! 130 is doable

dews are a lot higher today than yesterday for here. definitely monster swamp ***** weather today

if the mjo does this in January we might get a big one...I'm not giving up on next winter now...

I experienced the Christmas Eve 1966 blizzard visiting my cousins in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. There was cloud the ground lightning with the snow and actually several house fires. The problem is I don’t remember any of it because I was only two months old. I believe the area I was at got close to 20 inches of snow.

I was 3 years old and also remember none of it but spots in the Philly burbs like Coatesville PA saw over 20" of snow and there were many reports of lightning and thunder - must have been cool!

Here in the NW Philly burbs of Chester County in East Nantmeal (elev. 700 feet ASL) we have hit a high so far today of 88.0 degrees. We have still not hit 90 degrees here this year. I have been at this location for this my 23rd summer. Over those years I have only recorded a 90 degree temperature 76 times or around 3.5 times a typical summer season. To put that in persective the Philadelphia International Airport has in just the last 3 summers recorded a 90 plus reading a whopping 92 times! During the last 22 years PHL is averaging a 90+ reading 32 times a season.

DEC 30 2000 you must have been in the screw zone with the millennium snowstorm. There was a shop cut off somewhere near you where 20 miles was the difference between nothing and 15 inches of snow from what I heard.

You guys are roasting just a hair to my West.

I'm sitting at a crisp 85 degrees with the sea breeze just barely overtaking me, putting me in the transition zone for temps.

Wind chills will be in the mid 40s Saturday night.
