All Activity

I'm 77/57 too, beautiful day out there today, nice little breeze now and then. I can live without the heat and high dews.

I hope the power comes back for you much sooner than that. I can't imagine not having it for 7 to 10 days, wow. But the main thing is you're ok. Horrible that some houses got crushed and 3 people died. We root for strong t-storms, but of course we don't want to see a storm that's this incredibly severe.

Different types of root systems on sycamores than oaks would be my guess on why the sycamores survived. Oaks I know have a lateral root system that are not deep. You cut one of those main lateral roots, and you have weakened that entire side. Add in soaking rains, softening the soil, the winds, and you get trees falling like they did in the picture.

Disintegrated. Any wreckage either wound up in a nearby marina, or was washed into the Barnegat Bay. What I find unbelievable is that they said that there were not any underwater obstructions after Sandy. My boat, mounted on the trailer, snapped off and settled in a nearby federal wetlands. Sea Tow insurance would not take it, and they said it would be a few thousand to rescue it. Luckily, I declared it lost and the insurance took claim of it. Later, the federal government said I had to move it, but I told them the insurance company now "owns" it. The area, Good Luck Pont in Bayville NJ was a total war zone. I had thought I would never see so much damage in person...

Yea cars are death traps in windstorms. When we had a down burst a few weeks ago I pulled over into a parking lot with no trees. Didn’t want to risk a tree coming down

Plenty of westerlies and early hints of FL and SFMR over 34kt. Not enough sampling yet to confirm a closed circulation but it’s probably there.

Greater variance....same with snowfall.

After topping 89 at 1pm, temps crashed down to 86 the next hour. Too early in the day for that to happen already.

Top 20 is memorable to me, given it's the hottest time of year.

83/58 now. Beautiful

84 here with a dew point of 56, feels so much better than yesterday. Low tonight is forecasted to be 61 .

WPC beefing up rainfall potential days 6 AND 7

Exactly. The corrections applied to nClimDiv (USHCN) still aren't fully offsetting the biases and errors.

Well atleast top 5.. if not meh

Good call, you sniffed this out several days ago

That was at Big Y in Wilbraham, MA! Sorry for late response

And interestingly the one street that's lined with sycamore had almost no damage. It's those damn old oaks I guess

Glad you made out better than we did. They haven't even started cleanup yet. I'm estimating 7 to 10 days before we have power again. Thankfully no damage to my house but many houses had trees crush them and yeah 3 deaths from trees falling on cars

Recon descending now

Yeah, it's been a +WPO pattern

memorable = hottest July ever. got it

3 dead in your area; crushed in their cars from tree falls.

Recon will be in it shortly. They released this 2PM EDT TWO quite early: Tropical Weather OutlookNWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL200 PM EDT Fri Jul 4 2025For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:1. Near the Southeastern United States (AL92):Satellite wind data indicate that the system located about 150 miles off the northeast Florida coast has become better defined today with an area of strong winds located on its east side. Showers and thunderstorms are also persisting near and to the east of the center. A short-lived subtropical or tropical depression could form later today or on Saturday while the system drifts generally north-northwestward. This low is expected to move inland over the southeastern U.S. by early Sunday. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is currently en route, and the data they collect should provide more details on the system's structure. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible across portions of west-central and southwestern Florida through early Saturday, and across coastal sections of the Carolinas beginning later on Saturday. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.Forecaster Cangialosi/Beven

Wind was pretty brisk on our local pond, but the resident bald eagle was happy to show up.
