It’s hot as f out.

85/75, a quintessential Cape beach day that said, I'm in Portsmouth NH now and it's about 90/65

some rain and small hail in the Chicago area. Possible 1" hail by Aurora.

Should see another 1-2 inches here, our new standard summer rainfall

Maybe one of these years Minneapolis will get mcs after mcs while the rest of the sub droughts. At least it’s been a good year for ORD diversions. Love all the different heavies we’ve been getting this summer.

0.0 on 12/25?

Picked up a quarter inch of rain in ten minutes. Don’t have a good feeling for a round 2

Dewpoint is down to 67 here right now. Still humid but better than it has been the last several days.

Moved a large mulch pile this afternoon. Man it sucks out there.

We found our spot. My travel companion and I have been doing Michael Corleone Sicilian walks everyday. We’ve discovered so many little hole in the wall eateries and drinking spots, but today is among the best. The eclipse will be Wednesday at the time of this photo.

About time.

Power washer storm

Just hit 90F, making it the 4th day of the heat wave. Luckily, the dew point has dropped a tad.

2012 barely beat out 2026 here. But 2026 set the record for most 90+ days with 28.

Will the stake see any accums this winter?

Disappointed you gave it any critical thinking.

Nice pea sized hail coming down. Decent down pour, some localized flooding. Nice ponding in the parking lots.

In the summer, you can tell that it has rained recently by Central Park running 2-5 degrees lower then everyone else.

Was in the garden weeding and picking some veggies. When it was time to come back in I could not remove my t shirt, it was totally wet. Disgusting !

I’m not worried about 2015-16 because that was something so absurd and record breaking that I think even that pattern repeated again would be snowier. Maybe that’s a poor assumption on my part but at least on Mount Mansfield where most of my knowledge is rooted in, I take some comfort in that even a standard deviation on the bad side of normal is still a lot snowier than 15-16. I do think there’s definitely concern about a strong El Niño though. But there’s a fine line in there where our normals are cold enough to snow decently even with a +4 or +5 winter month (could also be heavy snows at elevation, lackluster in valleys)… but it’s once it gets to +7 or +8 that we often tip the scale to real bad at all elevations. We’ve also seen the El Ninos that have had below normal snow and snowpack down where people live but 2,000+ feet is buried in multiple marginal events.

I don't disagree it could suck on the coast, but I highly doubt the snow anomalies would just stop at the Catskills if that were the case. It's a weird distribution, but we know these maps are beer anyways. That guy is terrible.

Out here doing yard work last few hours like some of yall. Agree this sucks. Even as someone who works outside lol. Bring on the real cold fronts!
