0.64” overnight 1.31” last 3 days

The four-day interval between Central Park's high of 100° on July 2 and its high of 69° yesterday is the shortest on record. The old record of 10 days was set from July 3-13, 1898 and tied during August 1-11, 1933. Records go back to 1869.

63F/ .29" so far.

It appears to be raining

2.5 inches total from the last 2 nights.

7.43" for this event, 7.56" for the month. Picked up another .01 in the last hour, maybe today it actually stops, it should.

For all the hype talk about the big ridging and heat for the CONUS coming up central and west, looking at the anomalies fcst, esp. at 850, it isn't nearly as impressive as you would think for a large 600 dm high center spread out over the country. Take a look at the 00z ECMWF at 162 hr 500/850 when the 600 dm center is most prominent (attached). Big heat is limited to the northern tier, and just MEH central and south. What is happening in this case, the ridge center and axis is so far N, you actually get very weak troughing and a rather moist tropical-type air mass over much of the southern half of the country (see 700 RH fcst attached). Pattern for us looks quite good for svr. "Over the top" ridge EML should be fed nicely into the NEUS.

Stein blaming the bust on lack of weather balloons.

0.25” overnight, better than nothing!

Missed close by a thunderstorm last night. I got about a half inch, but the Mesonet two miles away got 1.33

I think ill be able to physically watch the grass grow the next couple days

About 5" less then the HRRR was giving me.

Yah but the 00z ECMWF shows Weymouth still getting 4"!!! LOL.

Lawns are brown as the Merrimack in Haverhill.

You got 2” on the 4th?

Jesus probably pick up some today. Other than a couple of muggy days mixed in looks like perfect COC weather most of July

Goes back to what I always say in the summer. When advection and baroclinic processes are weak, only way to get heavy rains is closer to warm front and low track. There is where you have the forcing to combine with instability. Otherwise it’s a fail.

.14 for the month

Looks like a bit over 1" now at home. Nothing too heavy, just a nice soaking rainfall to help alleviate the dry conditions.

1.95 .over 4 now for July

A steining to remember so far. Hopefully filling in.

Picked up 0.62 overnight on some heavy downpours event total so far is 1.10"

It was outright nasty in MKE mainly due to the lows near 80. No relief at night. The little ac unit I had was way too small for my place so the whole week was beyond uncomfortable. The duration of 75+ dews felt the worst since I’ve lived here.

0.4 in Holyoke over the last 28 hours. I was hoping for at least a quick downpour to test out some drainage work I've done over the past week, but no luck.. peak rain rate so far about 0.18/hr, and that for about two minutes.. Will at least green up the grass a bit..
