OT: Big Heatwave/EDIT: Debbie passes well to west but band of showers and squall line and tornado watch to get thru

Most of the state hasnt even hit 90 once yet despite an overall warmer than normal regime in May and the first half of June. Many of you will not realize how big the jump in temperature will wear on you after days and days of prolonged heat. There is still a question of where the hottest weather will be centered...its expected to possible be north of here in upstate NY and NE. NYC and eastern locations may not see the core of the heat and be more so in the low 90s. Mt Holly going very bullish with the high temps this week and they could be leaning into the dry conditions which only enhances our potential. Lawns already starting to dry out will turn to toasty browns and yellows by the weekend

I knew this thread was coming. This weather will make your beard grow.

 

[Brisket and Bourbon]

Funny how temp severity is always region specific. You’ll even be warmer there than here in SA (only in the 80s here with rain after 32 days of 90 and 6 of 100 already)

Enjoy it as it won’t last long I’m sure! Summer rules (it’s June so meteorological summer is already on its way even before the solstice)

🥳🥳

 

[Knight Shift]

Yawn. It's summer.

 

[mdk01]

Just watched the Weather Channel. Showed 80s Monday and 5 degrees cooler each day the rest of the week than your forecast. BTW that's Bergen County

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Longest day of year June 20th

Sunset at 8:31 pm until July 3rd

Then days get shorter by approx a minute each day and approx 2 mins by Aug 1st

More sun More heat

Down the shore, high is 90 3 miles inland in Allenwood

Can we get the pro @RU848789 to add some context here?

 

[JayDogSmooth]

Bring on the heat

Absent a football season, this is my favorite time of year

Summertime in the Northeast, particularly in New Jersey down the shore, is a beautiful thing

Makes sense...you wont be in the core of the heat and west central jersey has been extremely dry. While I am a bit surprised Mt Holly went so bullish with calls for 100 in the hottest locales mid 90s are a safe bet much of the week., its whether we can get that push to 100 which is ip for debate

Couldnt resist

Also should be interesting heat for the return of the St Anns Festa in Raritan after 5 years

 

[DJ Spanky]

Starting Monday up here, the prediction is 88°, 94°, 94°, 94°, 98° (!), 95°, 91°, 90° + rain (Mon 6/23).

Glad I have my company picnic on Thursday.

Can we get the pro RU#'s to add some context here?

I've always hated that this day comes before the end of June. It kind of signals in my mind that the end of summer is getting closer, probably from the going back to school days. If I were in charge, it would be in late July, early August.

Was planning to drive up to Hanover NH this week to begin a 150-mile hike of the Appalachian Trail, southbound thru Vermont to the MA border. But temps forecasted to be near 100 Thursday in Hanover, my planned start date. Now rethinking "things." Sheeeshhhh....

Thought about starting this thread 2-3 days ago, but I know how much bac likes the heat and figured let him have his day in the sun, so to speak. It gon' be hot and almost completely dry through next weekend with temps in most places likely being over 90F for highs from Tuesday (maybe Monday in some spots) through Saturday and probably even Sunday - and even mid/upper 90s from Tues through Sat. Very unlikely for there to be any rain and not even many clouds for relief, although at least it's not supposed to be oppressively humid with dewpoints in the upper 60s through most of the period (and not into the oppressive low/mid 70s).

It also looks like much of the following week could have temps in the low 90s. Summer is seriously here. Extended heat for many days starts to become a health/life safety issue for some.

I guess I am fortunate to be heading to San Diego for five days on Wednesday.

Just sliding off a couple of weeks of mostly 90s.

80 high today, down in the 70s for a few. Glorious.

I see that it will hit 92 in my area Tuesday. Thus far we have been spoiled with the beautiful weather. I barely ran the AC.

[Bagarocks]

For what ever reason, this song is "summer" for me
Drivin my 67 Riviera windows down, hair blowin in the wind with the AM radio that has a FM converter attached,
Listening to Scot Muni on WNEW 102.7 where rock lives...

 

[BossNJ]

All time great summer song..

 

[mildone]

Uh-oh.

No A/C upstairs at the moment, our attic unit is in the midst of being replaced and it's a big job. My guy started on it a few weeks back and it's gonna be at least a few more days to get it up and running, if not a week or more. So of course we're gonna have a heat-wave now. 😀

And, because that's how life works, we suddenly have a new canine member of the family that's part Great Dane and apparently has endless energy. Despite tag-teaming him with one of my kids, he's been walking us into the ground at his near-run, indefatigable walking pace.

I was researching elliptical machines and stair climbers to add to the rower and weights for workouts. But no need now. Walking this guy is a total body workout. Upper and lower body both sore after 3 days with him.

Now that I think about it, bring on the heat, maybe it'll slow him down a little.

There are lots of versions of Summertime (as I'm sure you know, it comes from George Gershwin's 1935 Porgy & Bess), but this is my favorite. Here, though, is an amazing performance by Scarlett Johnannsson --and I didn't even know she could sing!

 

[RU848789]

Made a fun set of "summer" songs within a much longer (5 hours) playlist for our annual work BBQ last summer. It includes songs from a variety of genres and is largely in chronological order from the late 50s until the 80s, where I used the dual "Cruel Summer" songs by Bananarama and Taylor Swift, allowing a leap up to recent songs, descending back down into the 80s.

Summertime Blues, 1958, Eddie Cochran
Surfin' Safari, 1962, The Beach Boys
Summer In The City, 1966, The Lovin' Spoonful
Summer Wind, 1966, Frank Sinatra
Hot Fun In The Summer Time, 1969, Sly & The Family Stone
School's Out, 1972, Alice Cooper
Summer Breeze, 1975, Seals & Crofts
Lovely Day, 1977, Bill Withers
Rockaway Beach, 1977, The Ramones
Walking On Sunshine, 1985, Katrina & The Waves
Cruel Summer, 1983, Bananarama
Cruel Summer, 2019, Taylor Swift
Solar Power, 2021, Lorde
Fell in the Sun 2015 Big Grams
Summer, 2014, Calvin Harris
Summertime Clothes, 2009, Animal Collective
Summer Babe, 1992, Pavement
Summertime, 1991, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
The Boys of Summer, 1984, Don Henley

I always like the Blue Cheer version of "Summertime Blues". And how about the Jamies version of "Summertime".
