Rrfs does have some storms around 8pm but fairly isolated

Still haven’t hit 80°. Lots of clouds and back down to 77/70.

tmi?

Decent batch of storms to my west they look to go mostly north of here

0.34" by 7 AM, a couple cents after, now some humid PC. One distant rumble, as lightning continues to stay a great distance away. Maybe we hear something closer this afternoon?

I just mowed im soaked...gross

Models don’t seem enthused in the slight risk area today. Or any area really. N

We’re going to see Riley Green at Jiffy Lube Live tonight…hope there’s no storms later!

Dew 75 here. Was 69 earlier.

71.1 dew is oppressive and great

start the cookout early and move it inside early precip is already in south central PA moving east - northeast

Yeah he generally does better than the hype-y social media mets, and he still has a strong following. Amazing. If we get a blizzard this winter, he will triple his follower count for sure!

I missed that! Which reminds me of my semi-annual rant, really more about temps, KAPG is the worst. It seems like the sensor is always N/A (not literally but close). Years and years. 1" yesterday here in swampland.

Jay's Wintry Mix has the most accurate daily forecast. He always goes with the model with the least amount of activity. He's right about 70% of the time lol. On a severe day all the Facebook mets are hyping it. He'll be like "Today looks mostly dry. A few spots could see a storm. Not Leesburg. Our bubble is strong." Then, later on he'll post a radar image of storms all around Leesburg. The housewives are bowing to him

Sort of nice out now, 79F with a slight breeze and not nearly as humid as the past few days

Interesting that they have the yellow this far east, because the models are showing very little activity for New Jersey today. Unlike yesterday when it was widespread, anything today would be very isolated. I'm having a cookout today and hoping it stays dry. I've loved all the storms in recent weeks, but we've had enough and can use a drying out period.

The real housewives of Loudon County are going to be very upset.

With yesterday's 91° high, 2026 has become only the fifth year on record for Central Park with highs of 90° or above in April, May, June, July, and August. The other years are 1896, 1962, 1991, and 2010. It is the only year that also included a high of 80° or above in March followed by the 90s in April through August. Records go back to 1869.

Thanks Bro! I'll report this in my Newsletter. I've had 3.07 since July 1. Last year I had 7. 17" in July.

I’ve been on a mountain tops as a t-storm popped up and saw long hair float straight up. Immediately ran for cover,

Juuussstt to the river .
