Pretty good rainfall here. Mount Holly's forecast already verified in terms of rainfall totals. 1.33 from the slow moving morning storms, however, the highest probs were later in the day. Many folks were suprised by the heavy rains.

ELI has already surpassed most of the historical events. i would expect this to go further east as that 30C isotherm moves east

great- will keep fingers crossed for today. Just a trace here since 6/25.

Yeah when I saw that graphic, I first thought something went wrong lol. I didn't think it was to hype something up or anything.

My get grazed by a little rain shortly

I do the same with thing with a stratus rain gauge for my ambient station even though it doesn't clog. Light or very heavy rains, the ambient has some issues registering.

You spelled Glen Burnie wrong lol.

At WestConn we still had to use PowerPoint for our broadcasts because the school refused to pay for WSI and didn't care how important it was. I'm pretty sure they still use PowerPoint to this day.

Its coming

It's funny that people think this is something nefarious. The issue is that the weather graphics vendor most stations use (your former employer) have an almost impossible to figure out UI when it comes to building bar graphs and charts. TBH, it's why I don't show them very often. Obviously it shouldn't have been used but we're generally using horribly outdated equipment and graphics systems that are generally awful all around.

Another dying line of storms dropped 0.27" here last night, so I've only received 1.42" this month. The next two weeks look very dry. Some COCORAHS stations in far southern Iowa and northern Missouri are reporting 0.00" this month. Meanwhile, stations from central to northern Iowa and southern Minnesota have received several inches.

Dips: below -26 in ‘25, ‘24, ‘22, ‘18, ‘15, ‘12, ‘10, ‘07, ‘05, ‘96, ‘94, ‘84; But none in 1983-1948: why?

Keep the heat away next week. The last thing the electrical grid needs is us back in the 100s.

Today feels like a kind of day where someone’s going to see a lot of rain.

That looks like the east-based/intense composite forcing, but more expansive both to the east (into S America) AND to the west (towards Dateline). Supports what raindance and I were mentioning RE volatility, albeit a mild national temp in the mean (warmth more anomalous and greater residence than cold) this winter.

July 9 1932: A tornado touches down near Springfield and moves into St. James, causing 500 thousand dollars in damage. For Thursday, July 9, 2026 1860 - A hot blast of air in the middle of a sweltering summer pushed the mercury up to 115 degrees at Fort Scott and Lawrence, KS.

(David Ludlum) 1936 - The temperature hit an all-time record high of 106 degrees at the Central Park Observatory in New York City, a record which lasted until LaGuardia Airport hit 107 degrees on July 3rd in 1966. (The Weather Channel) 1968 - Columbus, MS received 15.68 inches of rain in 24 hours to establish a record for the state. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in Michigan. A tornado near Munising, MI, destroyed part of a commercial dog kennel, and one of the missing dogs was later found unharmed in a tree top half a mile away. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Twenty-three cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Alpena, MI, and Buffalo, NY, suffered through their sixth straight day of record heat.

The record of 61 percent occurred during the summer of 1934. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Morning thunderstorms produced very heavy rain in southern Lower Michigan and northern Indiana.

Heat indices in the MRV are modeled around 95° for a couple hours…it’s borderline. The difference I see in the criteria is GYX allows it for any amount of time (1+ day) whereas BOX requires at least 2 straight days of it.

Shallow 5km, so yes, some movement could be felt. A quick rattling of stuff in the house more likely.

That warning is in GYX' CWA. The heat criteria in Maine may be lower than for Massachusetts.

Tempest sounds like Ambient. I have a separate Stratus rain gage that I use....tipping gage always clogs no matter which station you use.

euro and gfs miles apart in the extended, gfs not buying torch 2.0

Kind of like on Terminator 2 when the T1000 drove a metal rod through Arnold. You thought he was gone. Then battary backup kicks in, takes the rod out, and goes to fight the T1000.

Took 24 hours lol.

We are about to catch up to and surpass 1997 in the eastern ENSO regions:

thank you and it is great for chasing the jungles we have here.
