Wow to the morning storm. Pretty surprised for morning like that. FD department in Westchester pumping out some basements from flooding. That lightning/thunder was pretty intense. And no warnings went up.

Clinton, CT now getting hit hard. fast moving but dropping a ton of rain. 1"+ in short time

This is a very serious situation going on there because the heat has started so early and looks to be very persistent. Horrible news for the fire danger threat there because the heat makes things worse across the board. I do agree with you that the East should start seeing temperatures somewhat above normal by next weekend, but I don't see anything too extreme. However, June will continue the string of consecutive months with above average temperatures in NH. (14 in a row).

The same is true down here in the Tri-State area;

I was sure that June would come in below normal before last week...now I don't think so. We had no big heat waves and days were averaging a few degrees below normal, though the weather was quite nice. Then the heat wave last week with highs in the upper 90's and low above 70 F boosted monthly mean temps above normal again at many NWS stations in our area (NY/NJ/CT). As of today, NWS Bridgeport, LaGuardia, JFK are all above normal, and Central Park and Newark are just a hair below normal (-0.2 F).

What a way to wake up! You couldn't even count between lightning and thunder. They said chance of storms but never imagined that...

Another line developing. This will be the last short wave to come through and then its the cold fronts turn to move through (more storm chances continue)

62MPH wind gust reported in Columbia NY heading to Western Mass. Litchfield County needs the heads up too. All of CT in fact. Have that radar handy today!

Looks like another protracted stretch of warm, dry, and sunny weather is on tap for the Tri-State area. Most locations on the East Coast from Providence southward should see low/mid 90’s as we head into the weekend. No rain in sight for the next week or so:

This summer has been bipolar so far.

I'm only seeing one day near 90 over the next week. The forecast I'm looking at since last night also reflects moderate to high probability of rain on several occasions over the same timeframe. Sensationalism is alive and well.
