The wind has been S/SE almost all summer keeping the water cold. My car read 77 degrees in AP 2 blocks in from the beach. Another beautiful day at the beach.
OT: Big Heatwave/EDIT: Debbie passes well to west but band of showers and squall line and tornado watch to get thru

- Start date
Is this really news?? Similar to green heads being a problem on the beach when there is a West wind.
It's like some people have never been to the beach consistently in NJ.
And they don't move the warm to the bottom. They move it North or offshore.

Today was deceptively hot at camp. Totally snuck up on the staff and we sent a bunch of them home with heat related illnesses. I'm always shocked when the parents send the kids in when it's going to be 100+ out. It's hard to keep them upright.
It’s still pretty clear, clouds to the west. I’m up on my roof deck and I had to get a sweatshirt it’s so chilly
Been pouring here for the last 30 minutes or so, but no reports of high winds in our area that I've seen - some high winds and downed trees reported elsewhere, though. Can't wait for the return to normal weather tomorrow.
Have friends at CitiField at the Foo Fighters show and they just stopped it for awhile presumably. Sucks.

No.
Heat is gone for the next week although some may touch 90 on Sunday. 80s but with humidity and a lot of shower chances. Probably not the best of weeks coming up.
Heat may reload after next weekend
Just less humidity and pollen would be a major improvement.
So temps dropped below 70° last night for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Also, we got an inch and an eighth of much needed rain from those storms last night.
I knew the general science but I found his last sentence informative:
"The map showed most of the NJ shoreline but Sandy Hook might be north enough to feel the avg temp in the low 70s".
Sandy Hook curves west and because of that (I think) it doesn't get the same wave intensity as beaches just a coupe miles South. Maybe something like that is in play with the water temps.
I am so glad this heatwave is over...
Tuesday night's storm took out our power. PECO says up by Wed Afternoon, no big deal, just need to sweat through one night.
Wed afternoon power comes on around 3 or so, Great! Mother Nature say Nah! and another series of storms cranks through at 4 and takes out the power again. Finally got it back about an hour ago.
Can't wait to actually sleep through the night tonight.

It's glorious to walk outside for five minutes and not have your sack stick to the side of your leg.
DC is slightly warmer to begin with. That's a 90 year record for them going back to the 30's dust bowl and by only a degree or two. 4-9 degrees warmer in a few years would be unheard of.
Just got our new PSEG bill. My goodness. Highest bill ever by a large margin. LOL!
Today was great and just in time, as I was at an all afternoon BBQ in Rahway Park, DJ-ing for my old boss's group of ~200; it's fun going back and seeing a bunch of folks I used to work with. They had a great food truck and then an ice cream truck later on. Then got in a round of disc golf at Thompson Park in Jamesburg - first time in awhile I wasn't completely drenched after playing.
Weather looks great for the next week or so (mostly seasonable with tolerable humidity), although it'll warm up some in the 8-14 day timeframe, but it's unlikely to be as hot/humid as what we've been through.

That appears to be in a high emissions scenario (no change from the present?) and 60 years off. I don't think 60 years is a few years and I believe emissions in the US have been declining though not as fast as some advocates want.
Wait till next week. Round 3 or 4 coming and it's at least a week. Possibly 10+ 90 or higher days in Philly
Yes, it will likely be above 90F for highs in Philly starting on Sunday and through most/all of next week (but in the low 90s), but at least through mid next week, we're not going to be seeing the kind of elevated humidity and dewpoints we've seen in past heat waves (dewpoints should be in the mid/upper 60s not the low/mid 70s). The CPC is predicting much warmer than normal temps for the end of next week and the following weekend, although those forecasts aren't always correct 8-14 days out. NYC will be a few degrees cooler most days, so NYC might only see a few days above 90F.
managed to begin a sneaky heatwave....#4 for me, not all in fact most of the state will not hit heatwave criteria until tomorrow or possibly later.
Sunday: 90
Monday: 92
Tuesday: 91
highs today will range from mids 80s to low 90s depending on how much sun one gets later this afternoon. Humidity levels remain high. Thursday looks to be the hottest of the week which highs in the mid 90s...low to mid 90s for Friday with more clouds mixing in and a small shower chance. Weekend looks iffy...showers and thunderstorms around but not even close to being pinpointed and it certainly will not be a washout but it also wont be as nice as last week...still should get some peaks of sun at times...highs will at least be in the upper 80s but could top 90 with enough sun.

You forgot "very high pollen count" to go with the humidity
