My forecast says 90°F, 59°F right now. Clear, not that humid and hot today. Hottest temperature of the summer so far was 90°F, exactly two months. Well not summer, but still should count
From NWS Philly.. So a weak NW flow aloft helping provide these comfortable dew points/drier air while it stays hot at the surface thanks to the July sun and very warm mid level temps.(even with a trough!)
Then during the weak we have a ridge over central U.S and Western Atlantic with a trough over the NorthWest and NorthEast coasts.

SFC HIGH PRES WILL BE OVER THE AREA TODAY WITH WEAK NW FLOW ALOFT.
AS A RESULT, DRY AND PLEASNANT WX WILL BE IN STORE.
TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO 90 DEGREES IN MANY AREAS, BUT WITH DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S, HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE QUITE COMFORTABLE. NOT BAD FOR MID JULY. OTHER THAN SOME HIGH CLOUDS
LATER THIS AM, INTO THE AFTN, NOT MUCH IS EXPECTED.
MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE MEAN UPPER LONGWAVE PATTERN OVER THE CONUS THRU MIDWEEK IS CHARACTERIZED BY RIDGING OVER THE ROCKIES/GREAT PLAINS AND WESTERN ATLANTIC, AND A TROUGH OVER BOTH THE WEST COAST AND EASTERN CONUS.
THIS PATTERN WILL FAVOR UNSETTLED CONDITIONS FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC
REGION AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE
MAIN EASTERN CONUS TROUGH PASS THRU THE AREA.
At 8pm yesterday 850mb temps over Long Island & area was 13.8°C. This is normal. However, we're going above 15C this week.. You can see the extreme is around 20C in July which is when we had 90s/100s around. Mid-Upper teens means 80s at the surface.

Argh. I'd rather have anything other than severe thunderstorms. I hate this season.
The severe thunderstorm are on the map looks oddly like a snow forecast map. That is, the worst possible (and all too common) scenario from my standpoint when all the areas inland are getting snow, while the rain-snow line curves northeast and gets most of southeast PA, but misses South Jersey (but includes North Jersey). Obviously I hate that! But I would be just fine with that kind of forecast when it pertains to thunderstorms in the summer.
So sounds like tomorrow we might similar dry weather?

This morning dew points in 60s. I feel it. Like an extra weight on me. Muggier out there. Lets see if they can dry up as the day moves on. I tell you, it's hard to get what we got yesterday low-mid 50s! Lets see what happens.
Temps generally in the 70s everywhere but some 80s in spots showing up already. (Long Island, NJ, NYC)

Was on a bike ride this morning. Didn't notice the humidity. But it looked very hazy to the east. Makes sense given the higher few points. Dewpoint was 58 at sunrise, so it's going up. Maybe it could back down?

Well, I'll be driving through on I-95 in a few hours. Not exactly visiting.
