All Activity

I thought you were older. Anyway, about .05” today but sunny and muggy now.

general line of TCU punching the alto stratus gunk lined up along the southern horizon, connecting your downpours to some training in CT. Obs show DPs are 75 to 80 S of that line, and 68 to 72 up my way. It's a modest theta-e gradient but the interface is collocated with convection.

NAM et al seem to favor areas east of I-95 for this week's activity. West of Frederick it looks like very little in the way of precipitation almost.

More in terms of coverage of storms and flooding than severe

Just gonna take a flush hit from one or two of the rounds of moisture to make them right at any given part of our area. I guess we have four days for that to happen. It is, as we can ALL agree, a particular juicy airmass...

Rain just starting here, with a strong smell of smoke in the air. Have no idea why that is, unless someone is burning yardwaste.

Severe or flooding?

Quick 3 min downpour. Lets get the dew to 80.

Sunny and hot here after some overcast skies at midday.

Wait...you had rain today? Holy cow. I'm off this week and it hasn't even been cloudy here! There is a flood warning just east of Lancaster County in places like Atglen, Parkesburg and Cochranville.

I think the biggest reason those records are so hard to beat is the increased humidity. Modern agriculture with irrigation systems and a warmer GOM makes drought-driven heatwaves unlikely. July 1995 showed you don’t always need low relative humidity to break records, but that was a much shorter event driven by an unusual synoptic pattern that was ultimately transient. To get long-duration heat waves like the 1930s you need low RH.

Don't know what you are talking about. Can you provide a link to the so called "ghost data".

Missing the core about 10 miles southeast just like last year. Since it’s the only thunderstorm in the state currently I shouldn’t complain I suppose

I remember Dick Albert used that word to death (thundershower)..It used to aggravate me for some reason

83/78 here Florida-type dews. Very nasty out there...

Eastern PA and far Western NJ looks to get some good downpours-rest of us-very isolated

1.26” today so far.

The north-to-south temperature gradient has been too baggy. Southern Canada warm, no big heat south. Thus no jet dynamics to force convection and keep it going through the night. We’ve had enough storm damage this year on this side of the state from the March 30 and May 15 events alone. I’m not begging for a derecho here, but it seems without a better setup it’s hard to get even garden variety rains.

Mostly did not sneak into HoCo. Somewhere just shy of 0.05”. WPC says I’ve got 3.5” to go this week.

Distant thunder.

Tomorrow looks pretty bad to me, could be almost as bad a day as 6/19 was possibly

Because we live in a country full of stupid people who deny reality, logic, and common sense

Here comes the spinning vortex https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/WXTYPE/loop25ne.html

4-6" is the last thing i could possibly need, some folks southeast of I95 go there

Yeah it's focused further west as well
