The cool down from the storm was fantastic, made our evening grilling a bit late but much more pleasant.

Alot of damage here last night. No power for 8 hrs.

@Jns2183 Wegmans and the entire silver spring commons has powerI believe. You can kill a lot of time there.

Interesting that they issued a heat advisory for today. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that here with a high in the 80s.

Pretty good SPC verification yesterday... they were even under-done over some of the western areas. Storm coverage ended up being more than expected.

What a summer shaping up. Everything is going to be so green and lush after this deluge.

Yep alot of damage here and no power for 8 hrs

It doesn’t but is on generator power. It’s a war zone in HBG and Camp Hill. I think widespread tree damage is more than 2009. We went for a drive to church (Trinity) and realized it has no power of course.

Euro seasonal temps and precip thru January don't look bad to me in the east. Very wet with surface temps dropping as we head into winter. I bet February would look great, but the free maps stop at January. H5 looks reasonably tasty too imho. Naysayers, have at it.

What concerns me the most today is that Flood Watch.

Sun finally came out. The pics of the damage from those storms last night is wow. I feel sorry for those people that have damage and the ones with no power. I was lucky where I live and had just basically rain, .36 last night.

1972 and 1987 had some incredible summer warmth despite vigorous El Niños. Ditto 1983 but that was as the Super El Niño was fading.

If we could just shift that area of heaviest moisture north and east about 150 miles that’d be fantastic. My arm is getting just a bit sore from trying to keep a bunch of newly planted annuals from withering. At least we’ve had a few quick downpours during this past heat surge to keep the dust clouds at bay.

Looks like there is a real chance for this month to go into the books as the hottest month on record for the CONUS. I know it's very early, but the NBM would have us near 3F above the 1991-2020 mean by the 13th, with model guidance suggesting an even hotter pattern developing around that time. Will be interesting to watch. The current record dates all the way back to 1936 (oldest of any month) at 76.77F, just a hair above 2012's 76.73F mean. These are 2.38F and 2.34F above the 1991-2020 mean.

78 / 72 some breaks of sun. The strong / record heat wanes back south and a hung up boundary front remains over / nearby through Wed/Thu with 1 - 3+ inches of rain in localized areas where training rain. Mon-Tue the worst/wettest days with Wed/THu some longer breaks and perhaps stretches of sun. Wed-Fri warmup with straggler 90 in the hottest areas. Ridge in the west balloons and expands east into the plains 7/7 - 7/14 , heats pushes east. Overall warmer 7/15 - beyond with next chance of stretch of heat with core of the storngest heat west and south but approaching the area later in the month.

0.00 Can probably just go ahead and record that for today as well. Perhaps Monday has a chance to record some rain once I leave town.

This may be similar to last July 14 , 2025 T-storms/Heavy Rains in Central NJ which delivered over 5+ inches - than the rest of the summer was very dry

Don, rankings for average high temperature for the season to date (June 1 to July 4). One of these is certainly not like the others - and it's not because of a longer period of record.

Seems overdone but going to be some local 5” totals in spots I think. How bad any flooding might be will depend on rainfall rates / training.

Does anyone know if the giant in camp hill has power. I need to go hang out somewhere in the AC all day. The fact that I haven't even seen a ppl truck makes me think I might want to start trying to find a hotel Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

If it was an nfl Sunday with the eagles playing, the power would already be restored.

Those low dewpoints yesterday were the kiss of death. Dews are up today but best energy is north over areas that don't need rain.

.01” here for last night. Storms went all around haha

Is that accurate. That's 10"+ in central NJ over the next 2 days
