Flash flood warning just issued for it. 1-2” per 30 min.

Storm stayed just to the northeast. Sun is popping back out again. Onto tomorrow…

If we ever surpass that threshold officially just once before this season has passed, I guarantee you I’ll be sitting outside with nothing but my shortest shorts, the most tropical inspired drink and the biggest grin on my face imaginable.

It’s actually backbuilding and now literally on my doorstep lol

2.45" so far in just under an hour. It was pouring for a while. Was outside when it started and thunder was nearly continuous. The first drops were like globules, akin to snow parachutes in winter. Was nearly stationary over Reston and Vienna as it blew up.

The thunder is intense...at least it cooled it off here even if it doesn't rain

Yeah they aren't moving much at all.

Through tonight

The LAST thing we need is a world government. Globalist are trying to take down this country. If you think the world might be a better place without the US, I don't think the rest of the world would agree. You don't see people flocking to Russia or China?

1.5 miles from radar estimates of well over an inch. I’m at 0.05”.

We heard that down here as well. Had no idea anything was even out there. Here it is from my back deck looking N.

China has most of our manufacturing with a lot less of emissions control.

It's teasing me I can feel the rain in the wind

Ended up hiking Billy Goat this morning (first time in a while). My drive home would have been a disaster if I hadn’t brought another shirt to wear. Looks like I went at the right time because the 270 split microclimate is cranking again. Also, have heard some decent thunder in the last few mins, but looks like that cell might stay to the north.

In between the "relentless rains," Dayton has done quite well with heat. Today was the 11th 90F+ reading of the season. Dating back to 1955 (71 years), that amount has only been exceeded through today's date (July 12) in 5 years (1966, 1988, 1994, 2012, and 2020). Through yesterday, the mean temperature was 6th highest in the threaded record. A little weird that they use the warmer, low elevation Miami Conservancy District building records for 1943 & 1944, instead of the higher elevation airport site. At the airport site, it has been the warmest since 1935, outpacing both of those years. Today's heat should help these numbers somewhat. The forecast calls for generally warm and summery weather conditions over the next several days, with highs forecast in the upper 80s tomorrow & Monday, near 90 on Tuesday and Wednesday, upper 80s Thursday, and perhaps cooling to the middle 80s by Friday.

Just ooze a bit this way…

Yeah, the ridge axis was to our west. This is why JFK only has around half as many 90° days as NJ this year so far. The warm spots in NJ may very well top 40 days reaching 90° again this year. While the number to the east of NYC with the sea breeze will be much lower. The ridge axis has been located to the east of New England again this summer. 90° Day Data for January 1, 2025 through July 11, 2025 Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

100%. This area is not meant to be dry with a northwest wind on a daily basis.

Daily PDO is hitting -3.4, they say that's the lowest daily they've ever seen. Last October the daily peaked at -3.0, and it resulted in a -3.8 monthly for October 2024, the lowest monthly reading on record going back to the 1800s.

It is very active in Haymarket right now!

The only thing I can realistically compare it to is the December 1992 noreaster in terms of how intense it was and how long it lasted. The 1990s were chock full of extreme weather the likes of which we have not experienced since!

This was the most intense and extreme heatwave I've ever experienced, both extreme in duration and intense in how long peak triple digit heat lasted. Most of the posters who didn't experience 1993 have no idea what kind of heat we had back then and have never experienced anything like it in our area!

Wow that's absolutely amazing Chris... is that the Bermuda High centered over SE PA? That's the equivalent of Sandy making landfall in S NJ, you rarely if ever see a track and position like that. Did the same thing happen in 1999 and 2002 during the very long heatwaves in those years too?
