All Activity

Good luck, hopefully you will see some activity, the traffic on I 84 could be a tough go especially around the Fishkill, ny area and the Newburgh Beacon bridge. The area around Brewster, Poughkeepsie, Fishkill, has had some good past activity with storms.

Depending on the eventual Cu field I think RDU is on track for around 103 today. 95F as of the 11am observation.

Monitoring and handling several outdoor high school graduation ceremonies across western CT today; and am wary of my districts near the NY/CT border region... Always a tough call since folks want to know hours in advance whether or not a cell is going to go directly over the event area! Lol. Yesterday we had to send and keep folks in their cards for an extended period until cells cleared the area and lightning was at least 10 miles away... Nerve-wracking as hell... I will monitor your page for any local obs of interest out in that area today... I thought the RRFS did the best job yesterday and is the most bullish again today... not my favorite model, but it appeared to have the best handle on things late yesterday.

June 12 1917: The ice pack finally breaks up on Lake Superior near Duluth, one of the latest ever 'ice out' dates on record. For Friday, June 12, 2026 1881 - Severe thunderstorms spawned more than half a dozen tornadoes in the Lower Missouri Valley. Five of the tornadoes touched down near Saint Joseph MO. In south central Kansas a tornado nearly wiped out the town of Floral. Hail and high winds struck Iowa and southern Minnesota. In Minnesota, Blue Earth City reported five inches of rain in one hour. (David Ludlum) 1947 - A heavy wet snow blanketed much of southern and central Wyoming, and gave many places their heaviest and latest snow of record. Totals included 18.4 inches at Lander, 8.7 inches at Cheyenne, and 4.5 inches at Casper. (11th-12th) (The Weather Channel) 1969 - Record late season snows covered parts of Montana. Five inches was reported at Great Falls and east of Broadus. Billings, MT, tied their June record with lows of 32 degrees on the 12th and the 13th. (The Weather Channel) 1983 - The state of Utah was beseiged by floods and mudslides. Streets in downtown Salt Lake City were sandbagged and turned into rivers of relief. The town of Thistle was completely inundated as a mudslide made a natural dam. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced softball size hail around Fremont and Ames, and 3.5 inches of rain in less than one hour. Four and a half inches in less than an hour caused flooding around Ithica, NE. A tornado destroyed a mobile home near Broken Bow, NE, injuring both occupants. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Fifteen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date, including Asheville with a reading of 40 degrees. Drought conditions continued to intensify across the eastern half of the nation. Rainfall at Nashville, TN, was running 12.5 inches below normal. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Tennessee Valley to the Central Appalachians in the afternoon and evening, and produced severe weather in Oklahoma and Texas during the evening and night. Thunderstorms spawned ten tornadoes, and there were 164 reports of large hail and damaging winds. Thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 100 mph at Amarillo, TX, and wind gusts to 110 mph at Denton TX. Hail three inches in diameter was reported at Tucumcari NM. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 2005 - A tornado in Hammond, Wisconsin damaged 22 homes and produced $3.6 million in damage (Associated Press).

Same here. I'm home alone, and hopefully the thunderstorms are out of the way before sunset, so I can go on a late night swim. Tomorrow is perfect weather. Can cut the grass and go for a late night swim home alone.

0.37” with the rain last night. Hopefully we can get some more today. Morning showers have moved on and the sun is poking thru now.

Can't imagine the damage throughout the area down there. I think I'll stay near the Lake.

I saw on reddit that it was the blue angels, tho I didn't catch it. Practice for the 4th, perhaps?

Your lemon is now a banana.

0.02" from yesterday's passing shower. Going to be a nice day in the 70's.

maybe even Ridgefiled, CT might not be a bad go to area today

1. The RDU area has some of the driest soils in the SE. So, that’s affecting the current/recent temps for the entire RDU area, not just RDU, itself. 2. The RDU sensor, itself, over the years (not drought related) has been hotter than surrounding major stations supposedly due to the configuration of the station as has been discussed here and at other places.

What the heck was that about with the jet buzzing Kemp Mill? Had to be from Andrews

Beats my 0.07". June has brought rain on 6-7 days but we're still under 1". Last year we had only 5 days with thunder, about 1/3 of the average and only the 2nd (of 28 years) that failed to get at least 10 - 2010 had only 8.

Hopefully CAD doesn’t ruin the Christmas torch. If its going to be mild or warm, I want BBQ and pool weather

I heard poker...

Sorry. No parking for reindeer.

Indeed... old Sol is doing a decent job at eroding the grunge. Gone partly sunny here and the higher res vis imagery suggests we'll see more sun going forward. Temps 'll likely respond

Potent DCAPE over the area if nothing else.

oh man my bank account is down to $47 better roni it to six figures

can i come

DP's may be growing ( and they are in fact... no "may be" about it) in the longer term average/mean, but they seem to not coincide ( necessarily) when the kinetic temperature is very large - as well. That's probably the sticking point in perception. Particularly true around here. We don't seem to couple say... 76 dp, with 98 nearly as frequently as the same latitude out over N IA/IL for example. It's not like our sun is weaker. There's some sort of geo-physical feedback here that gets in the way of that. Like the baseline PNAP ( Perennial North American Pattern, which refers to the the rest state) affixes a non-linear component of forcing that is ( as "non-linearity" implies) not really very discerned on a daily weather chart but is always lurking, and does manifest in subtle ways. Such as, ...our highest heat ends up coming over top, where it then has to come d-slope. That's just one possible way in which our region hides the biggest DP days from coinciding from the bigger kinetic delivery days. Another possibility ... because we are the continental anus of just about every circulation mode there is with the exception of the EC paralleling "Bahama Blue" pattern ( rarer), that means we have the entire 2,500 miles of accumulated organic and inorganic ( man-made) particulate aspects that can inhibit a purer solar radiation transfer. All these aspect make any linear interpretation of climate kind of fragile when considering things at a deeper level.

driving down the wrong side of the highway at 120 mph and explaining to my terrified passengers that i’m doing a modoki event

Big poker game here tonight. Usually do it outdoors. I’m thinking I should be fine since rain will be scattered. Thoughts?
