sun is breaking through now in north central NJ Temp : 85 Dewpoint 72 - solid line of precip approaching for later today from western PA - expect a severe watch to be issued within the next couple of hours for most of the Metro

That storm near Carmel, NY absolutely needs a warning.

This is Frederick’s summer. The current humidity is getting me hyped.

Robust LLC for sure but a sheared system with a "naked swirl" on vis. Shear and dry air to the north makes me think Bertha has peaked. Has about 30 or so hours before land interaction so a little window for some additional intensification but I'm thinking not. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_MESO2/loop60.html

On channel 7 Lee Goldberg will often say that he disagrees with the futurecast. Or he'll do what he did yesterday which was show the HRRR futurecast because he didn't agree with the regular futurecast not showing the break during the afternoon like the HRRR did.

Getting sunny here through the high clouds

Yes, I'm pretty sure the August spike was 2023, and likely the September spike as well. I remember there being an anomolous heatwave in South America in August 2023, and another one the following month.

Looks like we will See More Rain. Severe threat increasing locally too as heating builds ..

That would be like the El Ninos of yore.

Chris, I find it fascinating that the previous warmest was in August, another winter month! Do you know if that was also in El Niño?

That's why I hate RH, it's a measure of nothing important. Why do people use it instead of DP? I remember getting out my sling psychrometer when I was a 12 year old weather geek (and one time losing my grip as the thermometers went flying), and using tables to figure it out.

Carnage incoming here if that holds together

Mine too. Will we see measurable precipitation the next few days before it gets hot again over the weekend?

Looks like a fun ride along I-684

D2 ENH is the new D2 MOD in these parts.

Wow, that was impressive. Nice drink.

Forum having server issues again this morning.

It looks like it’s riding right along the actual warm front . That is the type that could spin one up

Feeling a little more muggy today. It’s nice to have it actually feel like summer again, at least ahead of the next round of moisture. Let’s see how wide the flood gates open up later!

Data back to 1925. Hopefully that record is robust. The majority of GHCN sites in the world are very broken. Either way, that is an impressive temp

Just as it looked like that SE band was maturing it got sheared south in the most recent radar shots. Probably be the name of the game for this system today, periodic attempts to organize but shear winning out each time. Probably a 55-60 kt ceiling and that is only if it can sustain longer than it did this morning. Still interesting to watch the circulation strengthen with this much shear, certainly a stronger storm than at any point yesterday though wind speed will likely go up and down through the day

New York City has been a veritable Lake Maraciabo this summer
