All Activity

We literally are the only area of the country that didn’t crushed with severe this summer . Just gouging eyes out with grapefruit spoon

T-storm overnight another .40 this wet summer. Weekend looks great though

68/68 and fog this morning

0.28" overnight

Only for a few more hours

Things can run in streaks. Florida had no hurricanes for a record 10 years in a row from 2006-2015. Plenty since then. Long Island has not had a direct hit in over 40 years but the 1950s into early 60s were very active. I believe New England has had only one direct hit in the same time period, hurricane Bob in the early 90s. This could also be the second year in a row without a hurricane hitting the United States, many are hoping that to be the case.

In advance, have a very happy birthday.

Got missed by much of that rain. Picked up .12 on the backside. The older Ms J texted me close to midnight last night saying the rain woke her up in Bethesda it was coming down so hard.

In terms of 95°+ days it was pretty high ranking for many locations. Areas away from the sea breeze made it to 35 days of 90° and over 40 days at the Philly stations. But this would have been a cooler summer in the past during developing super El Niños. Most summers following super El Niños had more heat than the one while it was still developing like this year. So we would expect more heat than this one during the next few summers. Since the ridge axis this summer was out near 100W, the strongest heat this summer in our region was from Philly to ACY. We have been getting the stalled fronts with too much convection here to have the kind of heat areas just to our south did. The start of September looks like more of the same with the main heat dome staying to our west. Maybe we can get a day or two next week near 90° but it could stay closer to Philly. Have a very happy birthday coming up. You pick the perfect spot at a higher elevation which is cooler than areas just to your south and east. Summer 2026 heat dome centered near 100W Next 10 days look like more of the same Past developing super El Niño summers have been much cooler with more troughs than ridges

Sounds like I missed a bad one. Woke up to over 15 traffic reports of mostly downed trees. Had some wind gusts here near Exmore but storms died out

another warm morning here

never before seen all-time nino coming on an already torching earth it's over

Heck of a storm. We lost power for several hours overnight. Tons of thunder and we ended up with 0.94" of rain. I think that should get me through the rest of the growing season.

no that's winter time. Right now all I want is 75-85 and actual clear skies so I can go to the beach one last time for the season!

.45" yesterday. The "monsoon" region east of BR. Afton 1.59", 5 miles west Batesville 1.47".

Smoked again last night. These rains just won't quit.

Ironically that one ended up missing me last night

Looks like some yall cashed in. I couldn’t buy a storm even if I wanted to here lol.

It was a solid main batch with lightning and a bit of hail then two more smaller showers totaling 0.61. Nickle and dimed my way to 1.14" for the week so far.
