Recent National Weather Service ensemble models and short-range forecasts point to a high near 82–84°F in Central Park on August 2 under partly sunny skies and moderate southwesterly flow, driving the market’s heaviest volume into the 82–83°F outcome at 42.5% implied probability. This aligns with the long-term August average high of 83°F while reflecting the Climate Prediction Center’s “leaning above normal” temperature outlook for the month. Key variables include daytime mixing, cloud cover, and any late-day seabreeze that could cap readings in the low-to-mid 80s. Traders are monitoring the next NWS update and afternoon model runs for shifts in boundary-layer moisture or steering patterns that could push probabilities toward the 84–85°F bin.
