Same as it ever was. Just a bit outside...

LV swing and a miss strike 3 we are out of t storm chances for today. The 7 10 split lives on. Just incredible outflow boundaries preventing us from getting decent rain. 50 miles on either side of the lv gets 2+ in of rain. This is no longer funny. Another week of no rain and temps near 100 , the little lehigh will go dry in spots. I really see a drought emergency issued by Lehigh County Authority by next weekend. The lawns will be burned if people mow them this week and corn will be spiking.

Gust front definitely helped. Rainfall up to 0.64" now. More on the way.

Intense storm here. Very strong (guessing 58+ mph wind) and hail nearly quarter sized. Best storm of the year. Pouring right now still. Everyone overdoes winds but hard to see how that wasn't severe. I got soaked standing under a covered porch.

Radar says this will happen today too. The cell over Schuylkill County looks to miss to the west.

Intense rain again

76 / 71 0.12 in the bucket - monthly now to 3.79

Have had several intense rounds of rain this morning and currently. So far 2.35in of rain and storms still training over my area. This is definitely the most rain in one day that I’ve had in a long time.

Do you not have any AC?

Under a red blob but just getting tupjca thunderstorm rain. My sister whose flight to FL was already 90 minutes late (due to overbooking), finally got off the ground about 45 minutes ago as the storm cells were approaching. Currently have 0.06"with temp 75, dp 73.

Been living on the edge of this rain for a couple hours. A few drops have been falling periodically. Gust front is approaching now. Hopefully that triggers some more activity. 0.02" this far.

K1L8 - Hurricane UT K68S - Davenport WA KE35 - Fabens TX KNWL - Corpus Christi/Waldron NOLF US TX KRIF - Richfield UT

Wonder when the STW will go up today?

0.50” in the bucket.

All I know is that if we get a 5.0 and the PDO stays negative, then we're likely in a permanent -PDO.

Definitely wasn't expecting that much

Here comes another DWKW ”40 knot westerly wind anomalies potentially emerging right over the warmest water east of the dateline. The synoptic elements are too small scale to be accurately predicted here. What it's indicating is enhanced risk of seasonally extreme equatorial westerlies through the middle and into the end of July.”

Have a great time!

How do we know that a 5.0 would act differently than a 2.5?.. more flooding in California?..All Super el nino's have done is give warm weather through most of the country for the winter and more rains in the southwest. Somehow that doesn't seem like a big deal, or maybe I'm missing something. This has really been hyped by social media.

How could I forget ‘55! No doubt. I just thought their average highs would be much lower. Of course Denver isn’t feeling like South Beach on July 10…That would be rough lol though I wonder if they’d take that over wildfire risk.

Just got a quick .15" here in a 5 minute downpour

I'm in Piscataway but near the border of South Plainfield. Those heaviest red radar echoes went right over me. It was a quick half inch.

Yesterday hit 99 at 4pm, 0.19" of rain.

Two rain events sandwiched around a Steinmmer the rest of the time. Mem Day and the days after the 4th only real rains . Next one probably Labor Day
