Thanks Don. I knew DC humidity was worse than anything I experienced growing up here in 1980s and 1990s. August will be a refreshing start but don’t know what second half will bring.

RAH has really backed off rain chances for triangle north today. 80% to 40%. Really need a good soaking 2 weeks without rain with daily temps around 100 has turned it extremely dry in a hurry. Went from not watering the first 3 weeks of the month to barely able to keep the zoysia happy with daily watering

Yeah been saying this all July, I can’t remember this many days of 75+ dews. Normally that’s a high end type humidity day not every day of July.

Bunch of storms popping up across central and eastern PA. A few hours earlier than modeled. Hopefully this keeps temperatures down today.

NWS could’ve kept the heat advisory. JFK is 88/75/98 at 11am. Feels like a swamp outside.

I already listed rankings. Thanks. ORH is 9 or 10 if you take out the low elevation site.

TH ends at 7.53" for July. 8th wettest. The lack of stms last weekend, that was forecast to be robust, had potential to bring me up into the top 5, but that's ok, a good rain for the month really helped us back to near avg on the YTD 18.38" (17.94" avg). Max avg 73 (75.1)/ Min avg 57.4 (54.5). 7am time adj will bump up the min by about 0.5. Max will be about the same. Cooler max/warmer min. Hmmm, where have I heard that before. (OK OK just sayin lol)

alot sunnier than expected...most places will overperform temp wise-also more fuel for storms later

Humidity needs to be factored in as well, especially considering how humid it has been this summer and how often we had oppressive dewpoints. Not dismissing the temperature data and what the rankings are but in terms of capturing the entire picture, humidity needs to be factored in to provide full context and perspective.

Some 90s showing up in N Wantagh/Massapequa.

Average lows didn't crack top ten lowest in SNE except HFD area was number 9. Lots of hype

Another missed rain event today. It’s so dry

Here's a gift link so that anyone can read the article: https://wapo.st/4mdOi2m

Storms are already rapidly developing east of the river currently. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=CCX-N0B-1-24-100-usa-rad

This makes you wonder what it feels like when places have hit rare super high dew points of 88 or 90.

Looking like a I-84 NW rain event so far

Another note - a lot has been said about flooding/rainfall totals (rightly so) but Elliott is really hyping severe weather this afternoon. He said that CAPE is as high as it ever gets in these parts and he fears that storms will pack winds of 60-70 mph. That concerns me.

Boston, Hartford, PVD, ORH Not even top ten hottest

Haha, wunderground now has all of Cumberland county and Harrisburg city proper getting less than 0.10" of rain today Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Saw my first baby furry caterpillar today, severe winter upcoming is a lock!!!

Carteret put out a message that we could be in the bull’s-eye, could be 5 to 7 inches of rain, expect flooding, stay off the road, etc. I don’t want anyone to see that much water! At least they’re being more proactive than usual, because it’s damn near a guarantee we’re going to flood, it’s just a matter of how badly. I wish everyone good luck and safety.

Stuffing popping up in northern Balt Co.
