Gully washer here with >2"/hr rates Have 0.67" so far and temp knocked down to 71.

I'm going to start before the sun comes up.

Where are you headed?

Decent shot of heavy rain and some thunder; almost .75” of much needed rain

For those of us who work outside, the upcoming heat wave isn't much to get excited about. I hope it's not as bad as it's currently looking.

Was out in Hoboken this morning. Very very warm along the waterfront. Got a little sunburnt even more doing yard work. Thursday is going to be brutal. Place to be looks to be Cape May with sea breeze all around.

Thank you we'll have to keep an eye beginning on Saturday then I imagine

Yes, but don't forget to be specific about the details - where, when, how much or you'll get chastised by vortex. Personally I don't care as I'm on a plane to another world of heat on Tuesday evening.

Yep. Was happening in Boston yesterday as well

LWX is back up and running

Is it supposed to get hot later in the week?

0.12” today/Columbia

The issue on Friday is that the ridging aloft is still almost right over us w/ very warm 700 mb temps. This is not conducive for convective development as things are capped. Any storms that manage to develop will just collapse on themselves due to very light winds aloft. Sat and after is better for tstms here. You can't treat a single convective parameter in a vacuum and run w/ that. Other things have to be present for tstms to develop and sustain. Using the K-index like this is like saying b/c there is a lot of CAPE, that means there will storms. Many days there is lots of CAPE, and nothing happens for various reasons. For the K-index itself, it is probably best for forecasting heavy rainfall potential as it indicates a solid moist vertical profile 700 mb and below. Also. an axis of higher indices often indicates a boundary present that may not show up on other analyses. K-index though in a solid svr wx environment often is low owning to dry air at mid-levels. Dry air at mid-levels actually tends to be better for svr wx overall as it can mean an EML is present.

don’t waste your keystrokes responding to that troll. he does not post in good faith, never has.

And on Thursday... GFY ECM.

Approaching 1.00”

High of 92 before the rains came. Picked up another 1.02" today from 3 different storms.

Pretty much all of falls lake got 1.5-2.5+” today. Currently a flood advisory. Excellent!!!

Big Hole Pass, MT, ~7400'

Below you'll see a plot of the "K Index" from the Canadian GDPS. It's a measure of T-Storm potential. Anything 40+ is good. You can see the bullseye (red) on Thursday is well North of MD. By Friday, that 40+ zone sinks into MD. Stay tuned...

Where are you seeing an EWB? Do you have any charts showing it?

I have been looking at the GFS and Euro on Weatherbell. The maximum 6 hour temperatures for later this week. Lots of 100 to 105F in the major cities. Ouch, a 108F in DC. I think this is the day of maximum heat but Boston cools down with a seabreeze. Also of note but I didn't post is the crazy minimums in some of the major cities. It's going to be tough to get down below 80F in places like NYC to DCA.

It is absolutely pouring here.

Just had another round of rain but the worst of the flooding has receeded. Plenty of neighborhoods near creeks were under 3 to 4 feet of water, and a highway is closed due to a rock slide. The main creek near my house rose around 8 feet in about as many hours. It was basically in a low to almost no flow state through one opening and around 12 inches deep where it goes under the bridge. Now it's flowing through all three openings and it's around the 9 feet deep mark. There was a fairly large area of Morgan, Scott, Campbell and areas just south/east that got 6-8 inches of rain.
