Good news vs yesterday though: RDU 6 cooler and N vs W winds vs 24 hrs ago. For first time in days, RDU not hottest in SE. Ft Bragg is 4 hotter than RDU, for example.

Total for the 2 days was .03. Desertification has begun

You mean June 1, 2012? The moderate risk day that almost went full gang busters?

With so many of the 12z western ROABs missing, I wonder if it's going to be a summer of short term model guidance beating mid range?

No doubt. I was a little hopeful, but am slowly learning to basically ignore any rain threats coming from the NW. They simply don't make it past the Yadkin river.

Had another half inch of rain fall too. Grass and flowers are looking better.

Didn't even know it rained up at home while at work or at work. Building is so quiet. Did watch storms blow up over point pleasant on our bridge cams. North bergen got flooded. Never seen it on this side of north bergen along Hudson. https://www.threads.com/@amprincipe/post/DZgsviGEWZ5?xmt=AQG0Yuy2QCZhP2PHwK3F_-vf2Hh6JEmkiXjZgD4kSB6pCIdjNk-wOsPK-n0PC4zJj8fnsm2N&slof=1

June 1, 2011 also comes to mind when looking at this setup. You're absolutely correct that a Day 6 outlook for this part of the country is a rare thing, and there certainly is high end potential. Verbatim, I think that the overnight solutions would really favor New England for the greatest potential, but we'll see how the synoptic evolve over the next few days.

SPC put out a somewhat rare day 6 15% area for PA/NJ. Would be really nice to get a severe day sandwiched in between all these cool, low humidity days.

Awesome day out there. 81 and a fresh breeze….perfect summer day.

Outside of the Canadian suite, midday mesos say to enjoy your drought

The WPAC DWKW looks real healthy now…..

So I asked AI who is the best source of weather / climate data for Chester County PA? Can AI be wrong??

Thank goodness it didn't hit your house! A few years ago a guy down the street had something similar - it was an easily 100ft tulip tree that was field-grown so it was just massive, in the middle of his yard. Storm blew it right over and the spread of the root ball was taller than his single story ranch home. For some stupid reason he had it all cut up. I would have at least let the root ball remain as it was so huge.

As I mentioned when I started this thread, we will see this off n on throughout the summer.

Amen on pollen!

78/57… beautiful outside for yard work.

Thankfully for the less humidity! I don’t love tomorrow’s setup.

Several degrees cooler today and much less humid. Highs will still be several degrees above normal levels. Much more humid again tomorrow before a strong cold front crosses the area tomorrow night. We should see temperatures falling back below normal both Monday and Tuesday before we warm up again toward the end of the week. Shower chances increase tomorrow afternoon into the evening with the cold front.

0.21” of rain last evening. This wetter stretch combined with slightly below average temperatures has been great to temper the drought worries . 9.98” of precipitation since January 1st. Almost at double digits!

Dog's vet office on Crownsville Rd sent a text this morning that they still don't have power and several trees are blocking access. Can't open today.

2008 and 2012 both had a "heater" period where things just wanted to pop off more often that year. Obviously it's probably due to persistence and various patterns wanting to repeat for a little while (same as in winter for us sometimes!). 2011 as well - heck....looking back that was a HOT period of years clustered together.
