4-day storm total for me was 1.01". Got 0.28" yesterday (Thursday), which was a bit of a surprise for me. One heavier shower in the AM and two rounds in the late afternoon. At least the yard will be happy for a while longer with such an elongated event.

It was an amazing summer. Really looking forward to the extreme cold, snow that the winter of 2026-27 will bring! *

Dale City got 27 inches of snow from GB16 (The Great Blizzard of 2016). Back in those days I could still dig snow. I ended up digging lots of people out. Many of my neighbors asked me to, several of them remarked about how I wanted all the snow and one even asked for Jebman Standards lmao.

Changing wind speed and direction with height, enhanced by a localized bay breeze along the Chesapeake Bay`s Western Shore, caused the storms to rotate, which resulted in at least three tornadoes in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. As additional information is received and reviewed, additional surveys or statements may be issued in the next few days. .Tornado #1: Riviera Beach Tornado... Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.1 miles Path Width /maximum/: 90 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: Jul 28, 2026 Start Time: 6:04 PM EDT Start Location: Riviera Beach / Anne Arundel County / MD Start Lat/Lon: 39.1736 / -76.5256 End Date: Jul 28, 2026 End Time: 6:08 PM EDT End Location: Sunset Beach / Anne Arundel County / MD End Lat/Lon: 39.1584 / -76.5225 Survey Summary: What likely began as a waterspout moving toward the south- southwest over the tidal Patapsco River moved onshore along Cox Creek in the Riviera Beach area of northeastern Anne Arundel County. A grill was flipped and numerous trees were snapped near the top, falling in a convergent manner near the intersection of Waterview Drive and Riverside Drive. The tornado continued toward the south, where a street sign was bent and large sections of siding were removed from a house near the intersection of Waterview Drive and Hilltop Road; numerous trees were downed in a convergent manner on this block, as well. Large tree limbs and tree tops were snapped near the intersection of West End Drive and Park Place, with additional large limbs twisted off and tops of trees sheared off near the intersection of West End Drive and Fieldstone Place. The tornado then crossed Stoney Creek near the bridge on MD-173 Fort Smallwood Road, before felling additional trees and a power pole prior to dissipating in the Sunset Beach area.

Driving home from The Cheesecake Factory tonight (National Cheesecake Day) it was absolutely POURING in Edison and South Plainfield, but I got home to see nothing happened here in Piscataway. We got just barely missed by a lot of downpours here the last few days.

59/55 at deep creek, wonderful!

Yea this one will be fascinating to watch unfold. The atmospheric pattern still resembles that of a La Nina/ -PDO mode in the northern hemisphere for sure. Even with the tropical activity in the WPAC this year (which is great to see) we haven't seen many recurving typhoons sinlaku was the closest to still being a typhoon while recurving. Most of the storms have still been tracking west which doesn't bode well for the PDO to flip, maybe we see that change as we get into fall.

Seasons in seasons. What I love about NE is we have four distinct seasons. It’s a great reminder that time always marches on, and we should enjoy what we have. The days are getting shorter and soon climo will be such that summer fades to fall, but that also means fall foliage, peak tropical, and different wx.

Don't really know how to look this up but I have to think with another 9-10 days before a potential landfall, this could be one of the highest ACE producing storms on record.

It’s been amazing for southern Appalachian ski resorts but further north it’s garbage. Most resorts… Beech, Snowshoe, Sugar easily eclipsed 100 inches. Mt. Mitchell had 170 inches of snow.

Picked up 0.13” pretty good down pour after they left think I was smelling wild fire smoke again. Yes pretty humid 70f humidity 96% dew point 69f

Pretty accurate descriptor of Chester County tbh.

People think Super Nino means warm too automatically. The NAO/AO play a role, and if you map N. Pacific 500mb anomalies historically with Super Nino's you will see a N. Pacific trough placement in the cold season where it is usually doesn't extend a 2nd wave ridge so far east.

Nothing defies the laws of physics lol. July will be the 6th consecutive month of -PNA, and projections through August 15 put it about -0.5 for the month by then. Do we make 7 in a row?

78 today.

Down to 56 before 10 PM.

...the NY Jets have a lot of "interesting" tidbits in their history including how the owners of the Jets being concerned about the team being referred to as the plural of your name.. I think you will enjoy this.. https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new-2411290 I now return one and all to discussing the SUPER EL NINO of 26-27...

I truly would laugh so hard if we end up getting a solid winter out of this event just so I can stop seeing the repetitive posts on here.
