All Activity

Thus far, the best cell of the day appears to be running just north of Mason-Dixon into PA. Consistent CG, tops sustained about 35,000 feet, and now some damage reports coming out as LSRs via CTP.

Watching the stuff to the west of Front Royal/Luray areas for the greater DC area later.

93 at JFK and 95 in Atlantic City. Westerly wind doing it's thing. Dews around 60 so not opressive.

91 in Brightwaters, which is quite impressive given our proximity to the Atlantic. Hottest day here so far note to self: don’t walk 9 miles in this heat. too late

Made it up to 95 at my station.

Winds gusting above 30 mph here with that severe cell moving to my north. That and the overcast are knocking down the heat.

Yep. 93 here

We don't need NOAA/NWS and all that silly data. AccuWeather can do it

3rd day in a row 90+

Fish doing my dirty work.

Is he living off the grid yet?

Delayed but not denied on the heat for LI. 90-95 everywhere except barrier islands.

Late to this……. but lol’d at my boy Fish owning him. Well deserved imho.

yep there's a lag for sure-even in in the winter the saying goes "As the days lengthen the cold strengthens"

Not sure what losing sunlight has to do with anything, when our warmest days aren't until after the solstice. Make that same post on 12/21 about gaining sunlight then lol.

Looks like a dry fropa Pike N, huh

Might not hit 90 today here. 87 off a high of 89 and with dews lowering heat advisory is not needed.

93/68 at my station. Wind more westerly keeping the sea breeze at bay for now.

Split the difference and it's a standard Mid Atlantic Slight Risk™.

Not sure I'd be using the HRRR much today given it mixes out the low-levels too much and will be too low on dews by several degrees. Meanwhile, latest HRRR for 1pm vs radar:

92/68 now, sea breeze moving back and fourth but it's roasting out there

Per usual, the HRRR is tracking too low on DPs and the NAM is too high.

Watches have been hoisted for just about all of us.
