The system spinning up the East Coast presently is not going to be a named storm but will likely be a rainmaker to a region that hasn’t experienced a real summer in 2009. The map I have included from AccuWeather explains it all. For not even close to 90 in NYC and Boston and now on July 23 is remarkable. I cannot believe Boston, Buffalo, Chicago or down to Cincinnati has NOT HIT 85 this July and Roanoke has only topped it 5 times. It’s turning towards a remarkbly cool summer and one that will be remembered as the “Year without a summer” even though it’s not quite that bad.
Despite an increase in humidity, temps aren’t going to warm much although increased humidity thanks to a westward migration in the trough axis will allow a more tropical, southerly flow up from the south, this will keep nights warmer because daytime warmth will be held in the air thanks to a “wetter” air mass. It may “feel” more summer-like in the Northeast but that’s about it as air temperature still remains in the mid-80s at best for the New York City to Boston corridor. Expect heavy, blustery rains over the next day or so as this low spins offshore, it may clip Cape Cod but it will not pose any threat other than heavy rains which this area doesn’t really need. It would have been nice to see this type of system spin into South Texas though.
Sorry to dissapoint but New York City is NOT going to get to 90 till at least August. Where Tropical systems are concerned I don’t see a named storm till August now but that doesn’t mean trouble doesn’t loom in the August-September horizon..
Have a great evening and thanks for reading.
