Booming lightning woke me up here in Rockaway borough

The E MDR AOI is now Invest 94L.

Quite the light display out there tonight. Woke me up. Lost power too briefly though right now it’s back on.

Oh I see sorry to hear that .

Very cloudy here so no meteor shower action.

Nice little storm just dropped a quick 3/4".

Lol Max Velocity crapped on NWS Baltimore for issuing tornado warnings along the line during the derecho as unnecessary and it turns out the line did produce tornadoes in that area. Gee it's almost like nws people know what they're doing.

Anybody able to see the persids meteor shower was able to see it looking north north east streaks in the sky every few to several minutes .

Too bad it's cloudy here now. Terrible timing. No use going outside. Hopefully we'll have better luck with the Geminid meteor shower in december.

Decent storm ongoing right now. I was surprised to hear thunder because I checked the radar an hour ago and it looked like the storms to the west were petering out. Apparently not.

Not in my backyard

People were dicks because of the venom that he often spewed in his responses. The data that he posted was not the issue; I appreciated that. I had nothing to do with his latest intrapersonal conflict, but I have had my share with him, as well. Maybe he just needed a break...I think we all have at one time or another.

Congrats CT

I only realized after I drew it all that it was nearly a carbon copy of the February threat if it worked out. Blame my school for only teaching me the Norway model of cyclogenesis and me only learning meteorology in the past La Niña years. Maybe I’ll try again later with a more west to northeast progression and add in some dynamics to guide me.

That's actually most of an average yearly count for the state (50-54 depending on the source). Could get a few more Saturday per NAM; although bulk shear will be weak there is a 700mb shortwave trough with ample low-level turning and 0-3KM CAPE.

July was similar nationally to 2002, 2003, 2006 more than the recent El Ninos, in terms of US temp profile. Recent events (2009-) were either much colder or had different spatial distributions for warm/cool areas. July is close enough to winter that you can probably infer meaningfully what will happen from the tele-connection set. This is July 2026: -EPO, -WPO, +PNA, -NAO, +AO. Of those, EPO was extremely negative. -EPO July, El Nino: 1957, 1963, 1969, 1976, 1979, 1986, 1991, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2018 -WPO July, El Nino: 1953, 1957, 1969, 1972, 1986, 1991, 2002, 2006, 2014, 2018, 2019 +PNA July, El Nino: 1953, 1958, 1969, 1979, 1982, 1991, 1997, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2019, 2023 -NAO July, El Nino: 1957, 1958, 1963, 1968, 1976, 1977, 1991, 2009, 2015, 2019, 2023 +AO July, El Nino: 1951, 1953, 1969, 1979, 1982, 1994, 2002, 2006, 2018 On the five signs, you only have a handful of El Ninos that are 3-4-5 match candidates. Those are bold above. 3 match group: 1953, 1957, 1979, 2018, 2019 4 match group: 1969, 1991, 2002, 2006 If you roll that nine year blend forward to winter - certainly somewhat more muted and different spatially then what I expect. The -EPO July is actually a fairly big warm signal for the following December in the Great Basin, weaker for the rest of the West to the NM/AZ border, and a weak cold signal for the SE US south of DC. That's like a +30% snowfall winter composite for me. All of those winters have fairly notorious off-season flukish snow events, which is a major feature of El Nino. You can get heavy snow in Oct-Nov and/or Mar-Apr in additional to decent snow in winter.

Under a severe thunderstorm warning for the 2nd evening a in row.

Will be less than .10 here tonight. Wagons SW.

Saw some awesome meteors tonight in obx

0z nam

Ended up with just over an inch on the day. High of 69, low of 67, lol
