All Activity

Cloudy? It’s full sun and blue skies in Greenfield.

Looks like maybe another cool down next week then hopefully Labor Day weekend is summer like.

might have to switch to jeans, this blows. cool and cloudy gross

Mt. Holly nearly 5"

We got down to 52° here. Maybe Valley did better than hilltops?

Yep, NHC noted another double wind maxima in the 5am discussion

What is this rain? zero percent chance of rain today? 66 light to moderate rain here currently. Humidity 85% dew point 59f I am guessing an upper air disturbance is developing overhead in conjunction to near by cold front. You can see the seeds of winter 2025-26 we would be getting mood flakes right now as colder air rushed in.

that wind is biting this morning....brrr 8 day heatwave will fall by the wayside

Maybe the EPS shifting to a deeper trough and stronger cold front passage next Monday could actually give us some organized rainfall rather than the spotty convection of late leading to the developing dry pattern. New run Old run

Saturday looks warm for sure I think. Especially rt 2 north. I’d say general 84-90 most images. 80-87 and more humid Sunday with some tstms west. Good summer weekend.

Weekend also looking cooler than I was hoping for. Maybe 80-82 here

57 for a low here. Meh. But it won’t get warm for a bit.

Testing modeling: WPC seems strongly attached to the much drier GEFS/EPS per no qpf in our subform, this week as per attached 5 day qpf issued around Mon 8/18 10z. Please follow NWS/WPC/NHC. I'll continue to monitor for my own interest on whether the more benign GEFS prevails over the more vigorous EPS in our NYC subforum. This post continues from Saturday 410PM and prior posts last week and will be a lesson for me regarding EPS and EPS AI. IF the GEFS is to prevail, EPS and EPS AI will have to dry out soon. EPS suite is as yet the most intriguing for 1-2" 12 hour general rainfall sometime between 8/19-21 for NJ/CT/NYS/PA, in part due to nw flow UL short wave with associated RRQ UL jet in the Maritimes and some relatively shallow low level ese moisture inflow related to the position of the H near Nova Scotia and the L near Lake Erie, connecting a bit with ERIN? EPS PW steady since the past Saturday near 1.5" for 12z Wed at 40N. Lots of fairly deep vorticity NYS into the mid Atlantic states along the boundary this week into Thu AM. Atlantic Recurvature PRE composite has had my attention since late last week. ODDS for recent drought easing rainfall per multi modeling are very low. Yet, continues my attention on ultimate results for Tue-Wed-Thu AM this week. Just to see how erroneous the EC AI can be. Added WPC 5 day, the 06z ECAI and its 06z ensemble as well as the 00z/18 EPS AI 24 hour prob for 1" (very low prob except I90 in NYS). EC EPS is less vigorous than the EC AI suite.

looks like some more rain/storm chances this afternoon before we dry out for a bit again

0.22” here from last evening

0.09" from the Sunday evening T-storm. Looked stronger on radar.

41.3° for the low here.

Wow congrats guys!

Hold up...do I spy another ERC?

Those findings aren't too surprising. The UHI Effect grows most rapidly when an area first begins to urbanize. From 1950-1980, Phoenix's population grew 6.9% per year (Phoenix metro area: 6.4% per year). Since 1980, Phoenix's population has been growing 1.7% per year (Phoenix metro area: 2.7% per year). Since 2000, those rates have slowed further to 1.0% per year and 2.0% per year respectively. Phoenix's suburbs are currently growing faster than the City.

Sitting at 0.83 for the month here, but 0.65 of that fell in first 5 days. Things are finally getting dry/crunchy around here.

Out early this morning. One word, GLORIOUS!

Effin Covid.

We take. We enjoy.

A couple things have my attention this morning: there's a big blob of convection at 7N which is significantly further south than where the NHC marked the wave. I wonder if this will help tug it south or maybe it will just go poof. Second, this morning's 06z GEFS shows a much stronger signal with many of the ensembles staying south hitting Florida.
