This is a big/strong signal for big rains.

Great Falls 4th of July parade was hot but fun as always. Glad they didn’t cancel for the heat!

I would tend to agree-but models seem to be moving towards that solution for whatever reason right or wrong.

Nams & hrr actually look pretty good for the city and Long Island til late night

NH Seacoast special later today?

Looks like my heatwave winds up being 93-93-93. Pretty neat. 87 or so for the high here today.

Happy Independence Day to all!!! Well while today will still be sweltering it will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday. Real relief arrives tomorrow as temperatures fall back to near normal levels for early July with highs in the mid-80's. We will see temperatures fall to below average by Monday and continue through the middle of the week. Shower chances start to increase this evening, but I think the best chances for rain will be after fireworks. Rain chances really increase Sunday night into Monday morning. Some spots could see between 1 to 2 inches of much needed rain.

I think that is way overdone on a widespread level. I do think there will be a max of something along the lines of 3-4" but I don't think we're going to see widespread 2-3" amounts from this.

Too many folks don't know what a great tool that is to get past the junk we don't care about - glad you can mute me Voyager!! That said I am only 7 miles from Lancaster County so like you I cross over....

92/72 heat index at 100 already. The breeze makes it feel alright in the shade

Paging @donsutherland1

all models starting to come around to that theme which the Euro first picked up on a few days ago

That would be four 100-plus so far with a long way to go. Wonder what the most in one summer was?

Bad for alot of businesses...too hot to sit on a beach or walk around town browsing in shops etc etc I'm looking forward to the big rain potential! 12Z NAM with a big bump north

98 already at 11 am, running ahead of yesterday. Some high clouds out to the west and SW, which may cut heating short early if that gets here. Dews a bit lower than yesterday.

Temps mid-upper 90s in south jersey already and it's only a little after 11 am!

2026ing

91F/DP 68F. Guess I’m getting acclimated to this weather. Sitting in the shade with a nice breeze, it doesn’t feel too bad.

Go figure as soon as I'm supposed to go out to the island we're looking at a deluge. Same shit happened Memorial Day weekend. Just not my summer.

And it's not going to stop either. Both sides of the Pacific are going to stay active into fall, and El Nino is going to keep on rolling as continuous WWBs push it to full throttle.
