Yup

Steady light to moderate rain. Not a downpour so it’s soaking well into the ground.

Not one but two traces yesterday. June rainfall stays around 1.80"

All the high temps on next weeks maps crashed the servers

It’s early but it’s fair to say as of right now things don’t look good given what is going on with the El Niño.

Closing in on 6 inches of rain since yesterday now, with it still coming down pretty good right now. Only an occasional rumble of thunder.

I'm not the biggest fan of snow (used to be) - CoastalWx ready to cancel me for saying that! - but, out of season events I think are DA BOMB! The flakes in the air at the end of last month in MA was a sight to see. I've actually had dreams recently about snow falling in June in ern MA.

Why are the CAMs often bad with the lasting power and southward extent of an MCS like the one moving across Iowa this morning. Even as they rerun every 1-3 hours, they just can't see the south half of the line and keep trying to crap it out too quickly.

I was thinking of doing a heatwave contest but then that might jinx it

The best I’ve had was telling someone over the phone their password needed to contain a special character and they did “specialcharacter1” …

Same. This thing has been hyped so much that we almost need it to verify to save face.

I’ll take the under on 100s - one day the streak will break but I’ll just assume we can’t do it til we can.

Not only that, but 2/5-6/2010 was probably undercounted too. That was when LWX realized the FAA contractors weren’t measuring every 6 hours at BWI and had to derive an estimate using the 24-hour measurement.

What a wacky radar. Little bit disappointed I’m not in the center of it.

I have had that happen to me before. On the phone w/ a wx client, and I said "hit enter" and they *typed* the word "enter!" Another time I said, "where are you?" referencing where on the menu, the person said "Columbus OH!" LOL. My favorite is telling them to reboot the PC, and they just reboot the *monitor*!

0.28 for the event..... One of the lower totals of the surrounding area... Periodic drizzle this morning...

Too hot. Nobody needs 105. Dangerous for all.

Progression of actual weather still looks pretty different to 2023. That was a very cold month in the Southwest. It's been fairly warm this June v. averages. Europe had a few major heat waves with the recent El Ninos - 2015, 2018, 2023 all had them I believe.

Looks like the most comfortable place to be is in cooler water or inside AC or outside after a potential T-Storm

Forecast.weather.gov looks to be down. Maybe their data center got flooded.

Roll away the dew!!

We kick off the month of July with a trough digging into the western United States and a large ridge of high pressure building into the midwestern states (I refuse to call this a heat ridge...another stupid, hyped up term) resulting in high heat and humidity building into the eastern third of the country. Here in the Northeast, we will find ourselves on the northern or northeastern periphery of the upper-level ridge. This will place us in a favor position for the advection of higher heat/humidity in the lower-levels while favoring a northwestern flow in the mid-to-upper levels. This pattern can be favorable for MCS propagation into the Northeast region as well as the advection of elevated mixed-layer plumes. In terms of severe weather potential, computer forecast models hint at some shortwave energy rounding the northern periphery of the ridge into the Northeast (uncertainty as to exactly where). With temperatures well into the 90's and dewpoints well into the upper 60's to 70's under the presence of steep mid-level lapse rates, the potential exists for moderate-to-extreme instability to develop with potential for 2500-4000 J/KG of MLCAPE with potential for 30-40+ knots of bulk shear. Should a shortwave work into this environment the potential would exist for numerous thunderstorms, including the potential for some of these to be severe with potential for damaging wind gusts, large hail, and even the potential for tornadoes if enough directional shear is present. The high heat and humidity has finally arrived

I finished somewhere between 4 and 5”, leaves and a stick screwed it all up yesterday after another couple tenths.

Just west of DC? I’m having all kinds of trouble getting on LWX’s site. Edit: I see it now on CWG’s app. Fairfax county and old DC proper.
