All Activity

Last winter was a historic one for the lakes. Expect this one to be similar with a more active synoptic track. It can't get much worse than last winter for snowstorms. I don't think we had one winter storm watch, despite the chilly temps.

my bill wasnt bad at all...ive been keep it at 78 lately

0.40” in today’s late afternoon storm. 6.37” for July so far.

4 of those 6 highest are in the last 5 years. It’s a new regime.

Its much easier to be abrasive online because its a much more impersonal mode of communication.

we need yellowstone to erupt to change the climate

College Park picked up an hourly record 2.71".

It's a shame geoengineering is so frowned upon.

The dew lovers must really be liking these trends. Eventually may just be wall to wall 70F dewpoints all summer long?

Here's how Boston is doing for hourly observations with a dewpoint at or above 70F for the season to date: Currently, in 4th place behind 2024, 2013 and 1984, with 188 hours. I wonder how many 70F dewpoint hours have been lost this summer due to some of the ASOS issues? In 2004 & 1951, there were 0 hours with a dewpoint at or above 70F at his point in the season.

This is what many live for...

Here is Pittsburgh for the summer to date. Wow! Second only to 2005, with 253 hours with a dewpoint at or above 70F so far this season. The average is a hair under 50 hours, although the average is clearly pushed up by anomalously humid years like this one, 2005 & 1949. The median is clearly below the arithmetic mean. By contrast, there were no 70F dewpoints in 1960, 1967, 1975, 1971 or 1976 by this point in the summer. More recently, only 1 hour of 70F+ dewpoints had been observed at this point in 2016 (kind of surprising, as that was a fairly hot summer) and only 3 hours in 2023.

Got this idea from the SERCC X/Twitter account (see post below)

my guess is 12 to 15 for Hartford, however wouldn't be shocked if it's over that, 15+ easily doable.

Brief spritz here in Riverdale, NJ. This AM was gorgeous. Spent time by the pool for a couple of hours. Was hoping to get more time this afternoon, but the weather did not cooperate. Tomorrow will be poolside for sure.

Better get crackin'.

I’m at Broadkill Beach and also on RadarScope. There have been a few downpours here today that weren’t on radar. Not a big deal. They must have just been very localized.

No

Rain has stopped here. 2.1” in 70 minutes

Had a quick shower driving home from work in Franklin lakes.

I'm happy for everyone that got some decent rain today. Ended up with 0.18" IMBY. While every drop counts, we are running a deficit somewhere in the ballpark of about 4" right now, so of course I would have loved to see more. The winner in northern Indiana so far looks to be north of Westville at 4.47".

Its fine on COD. It is often broken for one reason or another, but not now. NWS radar is garbage, so if you are using that I am not surprised if it doesn't work right lol

Looks like Sligo Creek almost hit (still may hit) moderate flood stage in Takoma Park: https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/tkpm2 Also looks like it may be a recent record.

A couple of the recent LOT AFDs were issued by ILX including the current one. I haven't noticed that before, hope all is well at our local wfo.

Haven’t measured yet. But well over 2” in about an hour.
