83F and sunny up here. Summer.

Gust front from PG storm going through now in S. Alexandria. Hopefully something triggers?

Glad i left work when i did. Was off Craine Hwy today

The pg county cell is looking angry from suitland.

Compared to the hell temps we just had…80 is comfy. But I get it…strong sun this time of year no matter what.

Kind of wild that with all of the storms today, the instability is still so prevalent.

Good luck pinning down where that blob ends up. 18z NAM has it north near Boston now. outside of that it’s an inch, maybe

102 again today. I'm so f@#king done with this

When I had a roof to do with my grandfather we would always be done by late morning in the Summer.. like you said after a certain point you can't walk on it.. no idea what they were thinking

Near 80° LEB/LCI/1P1/CON Kinda hot doing stuff out there in the sun.

Surprised there isn’t much popping up right now given the sun broke through.

Did that "attic-furnace" insulating in Fort Kent on the day (5/22/77) CAR hit 96, but I was young and foolish back then. I'm no longer young. When I worked with carpenters in NNJ, 1967-73, we generally stayed off roofing if the temp was much over 80, especially in full sun, unless the roof pitch was low enough for us to work from above. Otherwise, we'd mess up the softened shingles already installed.

There's always a compromise...

Wow nice day there.

It’s not that bad out there…cool but bearable with shorts on(and I’m not a short wearer when it’s chilly either), I had no issues with shorts on.

Nah. Boring.

The MRMS says that 9.3" was in eastern Lucas County with a max of 9-15" on Kelley's Island. There were slow-moving storms during the nighttime and morning, stuck in the middle of the upper level low. Yesterday, showers and thunderstorms were slowly moving counterclockwise around Toledo but nothing much happened until closer to 10:00 near Kelley's Island and midnight near Toledo. The 00z HRRR had kind of a good forecast, but obviously there are huge surprising floods when you get over 4" quickly.

over an inch and a half with very close positive strikes (scared the shit out of me) and then continuous thunder! Woo storms! about time. Dover pummeled!

It absolutely poured for a few hours and some local stations barely rose, it ranges from as low as 3.5 to the more common 4.2>4.6. I know my rain gauge got fukt when a branch landed on it at ~1:30, but it was over 3.5 and it's rained hard since. 4.5 at the mesonet site a few miles SW.

Have to head to the store later and grab a few things...definitely switching from shorts to jeans. going to suck

Through 4 pm, storm total rainfall totals included: Bridgeport: 2.09" Farmingdale: 3.23" Islip: 2.52" New Haven: 2.12" New York City-Central Park: 1.01" New York City-JFK Airport: 2.49" New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 1.01" Newark: 0.95" Philadelphia: 2.00" Reading: 1.44" Scranton: 2.18" White Plains: 0.67" Wilmington, DE: 2.17" The following locations have set daily rainfall records for July 6th: Bridgeport (1.14"), Farmingdale (2.92"), Islip (2.43"), New Haven (1.82"), and JFK Airport: 1.70". Periods of rain will likely continue into tomorrow. The heaviest rains will probably affect parts of Connecticut, Long Island, and New Jersey. Lighter amounts are likely in locations such as Central Park and LaGuardia Airport, as the atmosphere is relatively stable. All said, a general 1"-3" rainfall with locally higher amounts near or above 4" is likely across most of the New York City area. The areas favored for heavier rains will see a general 2"-4" with locally higher amounts of 5" or more. Tomorrow will be another cool day with highs mainly in the lower 70s. It will turn warmer to end the week. No excessive heat appears likely through mid-month. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around July 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.52°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI is not available due to data feed issues. This could be an extended issue. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.966 today.

3.45” maybe make it to 3.75” but I doubt 4”

NAM kind of misses the current moderate to heavy rain across CT right now. Will be interesting to see when and where that big slug of precipitation blossoms.

Nothing worse. Going to need a flan to counter
