All Activity

It’s just too wet in this new climate to ever see the reservoirs run a low as they did back in 2001-2002. We’ll have to monitor this pattern as the summer progresses. Since more Gulf Hurricane activity riding north inland along the APPS like recent years could create major flood concerns heading through the summer and fall. https://www.nyc.gov/site/dep/water/reservoir-levels.page

"Multiple rounds of scattered severe thunderstorms look to push across the region this afternoon and evening (between 2-9pm) as a warm front lifts through. The primary threat with storms will be damaging winds and locally heavy rainfall. An isolated tornado or two is possible mainly south & east of DC. Have a way to get warning via phone, tv, or computer. #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx #DCwx" From LWX Facebook page posted an hour ago

Legitimately got surprised overnight, probably the best thunderstorm in a year or 2 here ... 1.25

I'm so glad it's not here.

clouds will come in later in the day. we're fine through at least 2 pm

Is it just high thin clouds or are we smoky in western mass today?

There's a solid easterly flow advocating a decent marine layer across the lowlands.

I'm never going to Florida in June again. Jesus Christ...

The ground has remained damp from the .03” that came overnight. Had some farm sitting to take care of this morning then came home and planted some flowers. Going to head downtown for the Arts Festival but feels like it will be a sticky afternoon.

10-16” of rain for areas north of NYC since May 1st. Data for May 1, 2025 through June 8, 2025 Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

Staying evasive with clouds here 75 with onshore Easterly winds now, clouds seem poised to win out eventuallu 75/60

Warm front must be nearby me... sun and breaks in the clouds here and increasingly humid

It feels cooler and less humid than it did earlier. It feels like the stable air has made it to the lowlands.

I need my 58 degree morning temperatures to return with zero humidity and a dew point of 45. That's just heaven.

1953 - The worst tornado of record for the state of Michigan killed 116 persons. Flint MI was hardest hit. The tornado, half a mile in width, destroyed 200 homes on Coldwater Road killing entire families. (The Weather Channel) Interesting you had a tornado on this date in 1953, we had a historic one in 1953 in the northeast too, in Worcester, MA. 1953 was a historically hot summer here with our longest streak of 90 degree days ever (with two historic hot stretches with 4 100+ stretches split between the two superheatwaves!)

Records:Highs:EWR: 99 (2011)NYC: 95 (1933)LGA: 97 (2011)JFK: 96 (1999) 1999 and 2011 the summer gifts that kept on giving lol

These models just can’t see the Southeast Ridge and strength of the Pacific Jet past 120 hrs. So the snowfall beyond 120 hrs has been shifting further north over time. February was a prime example of this model bias. The 30”+ totals which were forecast around NYC wound up much further north. Places like Toronto got the record 30” snowfall with only 7.1” in NYC

sunny and low humidity and a nice breeze!!

The evening forecasts last night showed we would be mostly sunny today I don't care what happens after 5 pm lol

it's good to see a day of sunshine-- today has been sunny from the start also less humid

AI and quantum computing should be able to help with this too.

That actually reminds me of February 1989

omg I've never experienced anything like that, in 1993 we had 3 straight days of 100+ which peaked at 102 on the third day and that was my best heatwave ever.
