Yeah, it's too disturbingly unpleasant for a profile photo. Could give the kids nightmares. (If you want a nightmare, just go back and read through one of our winter storm threads.)

Of course it rained here a bit this AM., when probs were low, now I can't the lawn. Lets see if the flood watch delivers for later. Mount Holly states the highest threat for severe is South of Philly. Large area of cloud cover at this time.

Even though the areas north of 60N had their warmest June on record, a small area of the Arctic to the north of Alaska had their coldest June on record. This Beaufort Sea region is a key area in determining what the annual sea ice minimum in September will be. Early season weak dipole patterns which are colder in this region have been common since 2013. It indicates locally fewer melt ponds and a better pattern for sea ice retention toward the Pacific side of the Arctic. Seasons like 2012 and 2020 had very strong dipole patterns which preconditioned the ice for a big melt out by August and September. Most seasons since 2013 have finished in the 4.0 to 4.9 million sq km range for extent. Only 2012 and 2020 finished below 4.0 million sq km due to extreme dipole patterns and early record melt ponding. Climatologist49 ‪@climatologist49.bsky.social‬ Follow For the combined area poleward of 60N, this was the warmest June on record - despite the fact that a portion of the area north of Alaska had its coldest June on record (since 1940). @alaskawx.bsky.social 10:51 PM · Jul 6, 2026 Arctic Temperatures https://alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/june-2026-arctic-and-alaska-climate June was very mild over a large part of the Arctic. About 70 percent of the Arctic (land and seas poleward of 60°N) had a warmer than average June relative to the 1991-2020 baseline (Fig. 1). But almost 85 percent of Arctic land areas were milder than normal. About 12 percent of the Arctic had the warmest June since 1950 in ERA5 reanalysis, while only 1 percent had the coldest June in the past 77 years. The warmth was most dramatic in western Siberia. For Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug this was by far the warmest June on record. For the third time in the past five years, Svalbard had the warmest June on record. Parts of the Northwest Territories and southern Nunavut, Canada also had the warmest June on record. Areas with below normal temperatures were more restricted. June was quite chilly north of about 75N over the Canadian Arctic Islands and westward into the Arctic basin east of the dateline as well as on Alaska’s North Slope. Of special note was the extreme warmth in northwest Siberia on June 25. Beliy Island (73.3°N), just offshore of the Yamal Peninsula, reached 28.3C (83F). According to M. Herrera on his “Extreme Temperatures Around the World” Bluesky account, this is (apparently) the highest temperature on record so far north anywhere in the world. This heat was concurrent with the late June western and central European heatwave but was entirely distinct, as Russia east of Ural Mountains was generally cooler than normal during this time. Since 1950, this was easily the warmest June on record for the Arctic overall (Fig. 2) and the mildest since 2020. Arctic lands also had the highest June average temperature.

I guess they are relying on the "in or around" aspect to capture and inform the risk ... lol Synoptic parameterization throughout the day today do not appreciably differentiate eastern interior MA, nor S. ME, from that region. But, I have not read their AFD; I may be missing something

Managed to get another 0.07 bringing July total to about 0.23". Many rain days, but little rain.

this illustration there is annoying... the arrow of the circulation eddy is pointed up demonstratively where they write "down" welling

And only east if you are north or south This looks very familiar.

Not much value in a 35-60" range, which is why you shouldn't bother to issue a seasonal snowfall map in July.

I had a Davis VP 2 years ago, as well.....agree that the maintenance is cumbersome and the data interface is not very user-friendly. Ambient is a nice alternative....not a huge step down in terms of accuracy and much less of a PIA. I've had it for about 7-8 years.

And south and north too.

I'm hoping we can get some steady rain. These fast downpours suck due to run off which does nothing to recharge groundwater Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Low of 71 with a rounded-up .01” of rain from a brief early morning mini shower. Late this afternoon could get very interesting around here.

They all are going to be like that today. The AFD kept hammering how efficient the warm rain process will be today with tall skinny cape and warm clouds up to 11k ft. A little blob is going to put down a whole lot of rain. Someone is going to see 2"-5" today. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

76 / 68 partly - mostly cloudy with some showers and storms isolated into E PA and southern areas. In / out of the clouds - warm mid 80s with some scattered storms in the pm and evening. Similar but warmer Friday and with enough clearing, 90 i the hottest locals. The weekend looks mainly dry but still some isolated storms possible Sat. The western ridge is building the the NE trough lifts out - heat pushes east towards the 14th and beyond with overall warm - hot in the period, and next shot at widespread strong (95+) heat 7/14 - 7/16.

Def. agree with raindance on volatility....probably going to be a potpourri of east-based, Modoki and MC forcing, with less emphasis on that latter relative to the past decade.

Probably a better shot than most of the past decade to be perfectly honest...it's been dry as hell.

...I have neighbors who have been in their pool countless times during thunderstorms...some people are lucky ..if I did that I'd be fried like bacon at a fast food place..

This morning shower was an over performer in Marysville with .60 of rain already today.

The models continue to show the WPAC, CPAC and EPAC waking up with TC’s. This is only going to keep the WWB train going and going….

He’s just sittin and smilin looking at qpf charts thru day 14

Webbed hands hanging onto us.

I read that article yesterday. I do agree that it is a worthwhile read. Within the last month I read the following 2 articles: both are worthwhile reads . https://fortune.com/article/gen-z-college-students-struggling-to-read-books-professors-forced-to-rethink-standards-warn-of-anxiety-lack-of-workplace-prepardness/ https://futurism.com/future-society/college-students-losing-ability-read It is very difficult to obtain an education without being able to read and to comprehend what is read. People who arent around kids don't realize how bad of an education many kids are receiving....and that includes many parents. At many schools the daily goal is " Let's not do anything that gets us on the 6 o'clock news"....serious issues are being swept under the rug.

people felt a 2.9?!
