Working the parade?

Today's Highs: PHL: 93 BLM: 90 New Brnswck: 89 ACY: 89 TTN: 88 EWR: 87 TEB: 84 NYC: 82 JFK: 80 * no intra hour after 2pm LGA: 80 ISP: 78

From a few hours ago in Mount Joy….look at that dew point.

Horrible. I needed it to rain.

Unfortunately, I'm hearing of a few dwelling and brush fires on the county fire band.

Elevation matters in marginal cold

It’ll get here.

Lost my internet. Still have power though. Ham radio reporting 80 MPH winds in Salem County? Last Thursday gave one of the best storms of the year. Today, one of the best lightning storms of my life. Close to an inch of rain with that one, too. That's a good wrap up for summer. Can we get nice temps and low dew points, now?

Awesome lightning show, had several really close strikes but I had to have been out back watching it for like a hour before hand. Picked up .7” in like 10-15 mins.

Good stuff to the east. Again.

CANSIPS has a pretty strong cold bias.. check out what it had for August at 0.0 month lead vs what actually happened. July 25 it did the same thing, -4 areas verifying at +2 and stuff like that.

Not boring for sure.

Around 8pm this evening looking N from the N side of the Beltway, I could see robust ACCAS, almost MDT CU. So there is your elevated instability in place. RRFS MPAS suggest a few cells may form in the DC area the next few hrs (DCA already reporting LTGIC NE), and we have those storms in the far nrn Delmarva w/ a distinct OFB. The EIR sat loop is impressive. Look at the backbuilding and sharp cloud temp gradient in far NE MD. NW flow is neat! Got this loop from here. Nice sector for the region! https://whirlwind.aos.wisc.edu/~wxp/goes16/ircm/goes16_ne_3h.html hanimate.mp4

Over an inch if rain here in west grove. Lightning here is insane as well.

Loads of lightning headed this way.

This lightning is indescribable. And those strikes are "only" the CG strikes.

Wound up with 0.65" of rain from this storm. It did cool things off a few degrees as well, thankfully!

This may be some of the most apocalyptic lightning I've ever seen. The amount of cloud to ground lightning and cloud to cloud lightning is insane. Non-stop flashing and loud cracks. Unbelievable.

A couple of big bangs of thunder a breeze maybe 15 mph and picked up a whopping 0.10" here in Media. It almost looked like the radar did not match what was happening at the surface here. The lightning around our area was impressive from the surrounding areas but that here was only thing really noteworthy with these storms. Before the storms came 86f humidity 75% dew point was 74f felt like 94f Now: 74f humidity 89% dew point 71 serious waste of calm conditions and just still latent heat here, but I am sure that was dished out in other areas. The ring of fire.

I’ll talk with John and the otber admins about space. There’s a lot of members here to spread the space around.

Looks like a perfect labor day weekend
