You're going to have quite the bounty, do you can or pickle?

Very! Where the heck did this come from

Low of 71 with .21” of rain.

Voyager you got your wish here. Low of 70.9 this morning. Humid already…. Picked up .34” off a storm.

After next week, I won't have that availability. Since there's no foreseeable path to day shift at my current company, I'm starting a new job next Monday....unless my current boss finds a way way to slot me into a 5am start time. With no one quitting or retiring, though, anytime soon, I just don't see it happening.

Definitely some haze out there

maybe we can get a ridge bridge after the 5th

Two main focus areas for rain Sunday / Thursday with front - that could see numbers increase with a slow strungout boundary

He’s horrible. Cancelled summer before August and then tells us in May that “winter ain’t over until it’s over” because the long range gfs has a blue blob over Mt Pocono. It’s honestly cringe worthy and sad.

Smoky

Yes, I think 100 degrees could get to JFK, on a WNW wind JFK is the regional hot spot. Tuesday too.

wow 1993 was full of historical records all over the country!!! 1993: Pueblo, Colorado: Record high for date, 101°F and record low for date 52°F, set on same day! (Ref. WxDoctor) The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1993: Rising water stopped all rail traffic through Kansas City, MO. A tornado moved along a 4 mile track across parts of northwest Scottsbluff, NE. The tornado destroyed a furniture store and about 8 homes, with about $3 million dollars in damage. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

Hopefully that extends to our area, it seems to be a much stronger trend to our west. 40 90 degree days is a bit too much, but I want to see 30 90 degree days per year more regularly here. It only happened once here, in 2010.

On east side of Columbia …. had a trace around 9:30pm. Enough to wetten down grass etc. I could see the edge of the main cell and the intense lightning to my NE. And loud thunder, before everything headed away. Probably missed me by no more than 5 miles or so.

Weirdly yesterday was the hottest day of the month in Boston. Didn't really seem it. Maybe because it was kind of short-lived with the storms?

You might soon have to deliver water to yourself at the rate your going.

I got .29" in Tamaqua. While I saw a good one driving through Cross Keys and Leesport, north of Reading on PA61, Tamaqua was on the fringe of the first storm and missed completely on the second one.

"Pretty warm " < inferno

It’s a decent signal at this range. Likely to change of course.

That's the best you can do? Lolz

The drought monitor says different lol. I know it's frustrating but your area is no difference than anywhere else. When the worm turns, look out. NAM brings storms into your area this evening.

0.48", 5.05" month

76 / 73 . Clear. Onshore flow today keeps it cooler before next round of rain on Sunday. Mainly 80s today some of the inland hotter areas could get to 90 further inland. Tomorrow - cloudy - storms could dump 1-3 inches of rain. Heat back Mon - Wed (perhaps Thu) with front on Thursday. Do see seabreeze and more E component to flow Mon-Wed so heat inland - could be tough along the coasts and city. Could be next slow moving boundary Thu - Fri with some storms and rain >2-3 inches. Beyond there Cooler 8/1 - 8/6 lots of onshore flow - keeping it near normal overall. Flow comes around with warm-hot / humid overall by 8/7 or 8th. Beyond there much warmer as ridge expandings east and heat building to our west.
