Rather no rain and no clouds and no fog and pump all this moisture to Mars where they really need it. Hot sunny and clean blue skies and dry weather are the best.

yep latest MCD from SPC says a downstream watch coming... that line certainly doesn't look like it's getting any weaker and the timing is pretty good since peak heating is a few hours away...

1991 had one of the hottest summers on record at both locations and NYC too. Matched just two summers later in 1993. What a historic week and day in 1953 we had! Much better than the crop soggy weather we have now. I dont like either my weather or my food to be soggy.

Thanks, guys. You’re probably right—more climo and unstable environment than anything else. Really interesting to watch. Hopefully the folks down there are staying safe—I don’t recall any forecasts for FFE level rainfall.

Certainly sounds like SPC is going to issue a new box over us soon.

Going to need to expand the STW into MD quickly…

So much for that epic severe threat 4/5 days ago.

Unbelievably dark out right now.

That's a problem? Lancaster county (and others as well) has seen so much damage this summer. Homes with roofs ripped off, siding ripped off, trees into houses, etc. Enough is enough. I don't understand why not getting severe (damaging, by definition) is a disappointment.

Im going to need that western edge to expand about an inch

Not even a Watch here in Lanco. This thing must die down pretty quick.

3K NAM tracks a strong bowing segment through the area around 1am.

And we're just locked in to this awful drizzle with a chilly breeze. There'll be nothing even close to severe here

Northwest Quebec getting severe and we get nothing. We suck.

It’s been said but my goodness if this system had another day over water this might’ve been a major

September 2 1996: Approximately 8 inches of rain falls over a 2 1/2 hour period in the Mankato area resulting in flash flooding. Numerous roads are closed, basements flooded, and $100,000 of damage results from a lightning strike in Lehiller. 1992: Severe weather affects several counties in the western parts of the County Warning Area. Several tornadoes are reported, along with 3/4 inch hail and damaging winds, as the system passes through Pope, Swift, Stearns, Kandiyohi, Meeker, Brown and Renville Counties. 1975: Severe weather rolls through Stevens, Swift, Kandiyohi, and Meeker counties. 1.5 inch Hail is reported in Stevens and Swift.

Flooding was reported in Duluth. For Wednesday, September 2, 2026 1935 - Perhaps the most intense hurricane ever to hit the U.S. struck the Florida Keys with 200 mph winds. The hurricane produced a fifteen foot tide and waves thirty feet high. 400 persons perished in the storm on that Labor Day. The barometric pressure at Matecumbe Bay FL hits a record low for the U.S. of 26.35 inches. (David Ludlum) 1950 - The temperature at Mecca, CA, soared to 126 degrees to establish a U.S. record for the month of September. The low that morning was 89 degrees. (The Weather Channel) 1985 - After teasing residents along the Gulf of Mexico for two days, Hurricane Elena finally came ashore at Biloxi MS. The hurricane, packing winds of 127 mph, caused more than a billion dollars damage. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Late evening thunderstorms in the Northern Plains Region produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Jordan MT, and a ""hot flash"" at Redig SD. The temperature at Redig rose from 66 degrees at 10 PM to 86 degrees at 11 PM as thunderstorm winds gusted to 36 mph. Nine cities in the Upper Ohio Valley, the Tennessee Valley and the Central Gulf Coast States reported record low temperatures for the date, including Elkins WV with a reading of 38 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Unseasonably hot weather prevailed in the northwestern U.S. Afternoon highs of 98 degrees at Olympia WA, 98 degrees at Seattle WA, 105 degrees at Portland OR, and 110 degrees at Medford OR, established records for the month of September.

I hope so. Looks fair and dry starting Friday.

Sun poking out near ISP. I’m not expecting anything to happen out here, although more often than not, the best storms I’ve seen out here have come by “surprise”.

New season, new thread.

Here are some photos of my moms house in mantua. (these are photos she took)

on its current trajectory, the western end of that complex will get to approximately the Loudoun/Montgomery county line assuming it holds together...

It could be to an extent but this whole region is in some level of drought, so it would be highly unlikely a moist environment exists on the ground outside of what the storm has produced. I think more likely this is a function of an extremely unstable environment, low shear, and proximity to gulf moisture. This area has been known historically for producing similar occurrences of systems maintaining longer than expected so there might be some regional geography/proximity to the gulf that factors in for adequate moisture transport with minimal elevation to disrupt a surface low. Very very impressive storm, did not think we’d still be talking about this system much today

This slowness of decay seems to happen fairly often in this region per my memory.

Working in central PG county. I can see the high cloud cover making its way south.
