Perfection until all of the people showed up lol

2 consecutive days in 1948, not 3.

It’s hard to tell via radar but there looks like there’s a fairly well defined low level circulation.

Yeah, unusually cool and wet July 4th following the snowiest winter of the 1970s.

Had a high yesterday of 92°.... Got done with the yard work just in time as thunderstorm followed with 0.27" rain and 39 mph gust .

Yea that’s a TS by looks on IR and vis satellite. Should get a name imminently.

This -PDO being driven by the warm SST anomalies from Japan to north of Hawaii since 2019 is something new for us. The pattern has lead to warmer winters and record low snowfall due to the storm track through the Great Lakes and a faster Northern Stream of the Pacific Jet. Very amplified Aleutian Ridges have become the norm. It has also resulted in the Greenland blocking linking up with the Southeast Ridge. So strong subtropical ridges across the Pacific and Atlantic basins. The previous extended -PDO interval from 2007 to 2013 was more defined by the cold pool west of North America and a weaker warm pool east of Japan. Much weaker Aleutian Ridges and no Southeast Ridge in the East. So we didn’t have the Greenland blocking linking up with the Southeast Ridge. During the extended -PDO phase from 1950 to 1976 there was also a much weaker Aleutian Ridge along with much cooler SSTs in both basins. So there wasn’t any linkage between the Greenland blocking and Southeast Ridge.

Not in York yet, a couple more weeks, still in Mass on the CT border so I see CT fireworks too.

Enjoy this great weather folks, looks like we get days of rain beginning next Tuesday?

How was it so cold in 1978? Raining all day? What was the low Chris? I don't see the high at JFK in this list, was it 65+ there?

Wow I wonder what they would have recorded on July 22, 2011.... In 2010 we maxed out in the low 100s here (three days).

The biggest anomalies in the extended could still be over SNE. Sites are already +5 to +7 coming in to today with big + anomalies Sun and Mon. BDL will probably be safe because the sensor is finally fixed but top 5 is still in play in most places. It only takes a few cool days to ruin it though.

Scraps

We need more rain like we need an STD. My goodness, it’s been feast or famine over the last several years.

Aaaaahhhh

Looking good on the latest imagery. I would imagine it will be classified as a TD/weak TS at 11am.

For you and nne, sure. Still AN for sne but that’s par for the course these days. We can forecast AN every warm season month and look like a genius.

If you were looking SSW from York probably Portsmouth...between 9:15-9:45 or so. Actually may be the last time they have them here due to budget cuts. Would need a private donor to pay for it.

Enjoy the 4th, all I got .15” rain yesterday in that little pop up storm.

Happy 4th again! Below is an analysis of our climate here in Chester County for Independence Day. As you can see overall in our 132 years of weather records back to 1893 we have seen an overall slight cooling of our high temperatures and a slight warming of our low temperatures. Not surprisingly our average temperatures on the 4th of July have remained mighty constant with no warming or cooling on average over the last 13 decades of weather observations.

Looked like a decent chance of rain a hour ago, gonna rain itself out before it makes it here. Sigh
