All Activity

Was there any explanation as to why the National weather service website was down for like 8 or 10 hours? I found that odd, to say the least.

It’s gonna be hot for a few days. Can’t do much about it. All I care about is how long will it last. Hope the models are right and it breaks down the ridge after Sunday

Except now he will be Typhoon updates vs snowfall updates

Record heat every month starting back in March with new monthly maxes tied or set in May. Newark Area, NJPeriod of record: 1843-05-01 through 2026-06-27DateHighest maximum temperatures (degrees F)Top Record 2nd Record 3rd Record 3/10 82 in 2026 81 in 2016 76 in 2006 3/11 82 in 2026 75 in 2021 71 in 1977 4/15 91 in 2026 88 in 1960 87 in 1941 5/19 99 in 2026 98 in 1962 93 in 2017+ 6/11 97 in 2026 96 in 2000 96 in 1984

So will this week be like FL, where storms fire along a Seabreeze if one develops?

Hypothermia there, Heatstroke here lol

I was very lucky Sunday evening, receiving 1.23" between 6:30 - 8:30. Total for the weekend, 1.89"....

He can still post. His and radarman’s temps will fit right in next winter.

You have to wonder if this area of the country will ever see a synergistic heat event similar in magnitude to what the PNW saw in June 2021. Surely if Seattle can hit 108F then Boston could do the same? If anything I would expect it to be more doable for Boston.

Over the couple weeks the rains have at least stabilized the decline of falls lake. Bought some time for Raleigh to hold off on stricter restrictions

So will this week be like FL, where storms fire along a Seabreeze if one develops?

Where's the snow?

I don’t think it’s hit 100 in Greensboro or Winston-Salem since 2012.

Sounds nice! I gave up a few weeks ago and will try again in September. I want a natural looking lawn with lots of clover, a few wildflowers, etc, 0.20 final total for the event

62 degrees and partly foggy.

Predicted high of 104 here on Friday. But 103 in Philly. Interesting. I'll take the under here. 99. Never seen 100 here, but maybe this will be the one.

This combined with multiple days of near record breaking temperatures will amplify the impacts from the heat and humidity. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the sun, and stay in an air-conditioned room. Remember your pets and provide them with plenty of water and shade if left outdoors.

Best of luck in your new home! You've been here forever, will be weird not having your obs during the winter.

Will you turn guest viewing back on at some point?

Summer cold in the Arctic since the 2012 arctic ice melt low has really been phenomenal! Anyone want to offer a theory on why that is?

The Arctic mean temp. N of 80N, helped by a +AO, still didn’t reach freezing as it actually cooled very slightly yesterday! The prior latest on record (back to 1958) to first exceed 0C was June 20th (2013). Will it finally exceed 0C before the end of the month? Time’s running out and the model consensus has BN temps persisting. It had come within 0.35C on June 27th and then yesterday fell a little to 0.47C away:

The UKMET keeps developing this into a weak TD and then dissipating it well offshore the SE US as it moves SW, WSW, W, and then WNW. I doubt this ever becomes a TD when considering other models: MET OFFICE TROPICAL CYCLONE GUIDANCE FOR NORTH-EAST PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC GLOBAL MODEL DATA TIME 0000UTC 29.06.2026 NEW TROPICAL CYCLONE FORECAST TO DEVELOP AFTER 30 HOURS FORECAST POSITION AT T+ 30 : 32.5N 72.5W LEAD CENTRAL MAXIMUM WIND VERIFYING TIME TIME POSITION PRESSURE (MB) SPEED (KNOTS) -------------- ---- -------- ------------- ------------- 1200UTC 30.06.2026 36 31.5N 71.9W 1012 26 0000UTC 01.07.2026 48 31.1N 72.1W 1011 26 1200UTC 01.07.2026 60 30.8N 73.0W 1012 23 0000UTC 02.07.2026 72 30.8N 74.3W 1013 21 1200UTC 02.07.2026 84 31.1N 75.8W 1015 18 0000UTC 03.07.2026 96 31.8N 77.2W 1016 18 1200UTC 03.07.2026 108 CEASED TRACKING

LOT has seven consecutive days in the 90s starting tomorrow. We’ll see if that pans out, but am concerned about convective activity getting in the way later in the week.

I will gladly step outside during a thunderstorm in this weather.
