  1. Past hour
  2. Classic vague tease. "Get ready" For what? Makes one click! And the arrow points to northern Mexico? And it is totally unclear what the color shading is depicting, but as long as it is bright and flashy, who cares!
  3. And the media mode skews perception big time. It makes things appear a lot worse than they actually are. The relentless nature of it wears on ppl psychologically, to the point pp start believing it merely b/c it is repeated so many times. That's more in line of propaganda, rather that proof/fact. The most overused wx buzz word or phrase these days is "we're tracking!" Why wouldn't they be tracking? That's would be like saying, "we're forecasting! Superfluous and fluff language to make things sound more important than they actually are.
  4. Flash Flood situation setting up for parts of Chicagoland...
  5. The heat index actually jumped to 105 at Farmingdale when the seabreeze came through because the dewpoint jumped from 63 to 71. By August the seabreeze won't be any relief anymore and just makes it worse.
  6. out on the tarmac at EWR it's still 93F lol. The river wind "cooled" it down a bit at DCA, but Philly and NYC are still 90+ at this hour.
  7. Now imagine this every single day for 3-4 months, with a stronger sun since you're in the South. That's TX and what I dealt with in 2015-16. And no, in Austin it's not a dry heat. I hated it really quick-you can't do anything outside until the evening or early morning, and even in the evening it's often still in the upper 90s. I went from record never ending deluge in May 2015, historic Memorial Day floods and severe to not a drop after in June and baking until October when we had another record deluge from the remnants of Hurricane Patricia.
  8. be careful! it was brutal there for a bit.
  9. While Friday is indeed capped with no real trigger, there are a couple of CAMs that have a complex of storms dropping south out of PA during the early evening and initiating new storms in our area on the outflow. That said, I'm certainly on board with the prevailing idea of better chances of storms Saturday-Monday with severe and flash flood threats.
  10. Your corn dewpoints penetrated into MBY in Michigan for a more extended period than usual. Never hit 80, but had a good long stretch of 75+.
  11. Obviously we aren't near peak in early July...goes without saying.
  12. Still 91F feeling like 99 still.
  13. Earlier this decade for a significant period, EWR was clearly 2 F too warm. Every month, it would be +2 higher than all the other CLI sties in the OKX CWA. The issue go beyond just UHI and asphalt runways nearby. New constriction causes artificial heat issues as well. BWI has this issue, but only when the wind blows a certain direction. This is why one can't smooth out or "THREADEX" warm biases over time b/c each CLI location has different issues over time. Probably the worst sited CLI site, at least at an airport, is PHX. Right downtown and given the massive growth of the city in the last 70 years alone?
  14. Probably safe to say this will be the hottest of the summer? Can’t imagine it getting this hot again with so much smoke just over the border? I mean this is just insane.
  15. The all time record high min for PVD is 80F from 6/6/1925. I've always questioned that particular record. It was only early June there's no way that it's accurate. The second highest on record is 78F and that was set multiple times but in the middle of summer, not the first week of June.
  16. NW Pac is typically very active in strong El Nino years, and so far that is the case. Most standard parameters (NS, NSD, ACE, etc.) are running about 200% of avg season-to-date, and TY Bavi will add to ACE big time in the next week.
  17. That would have to be in direct sun and even then…
  18. 18z GFS has a 5" max right near DC ending 12z Tue. We sure need it! ECMWF likes PHL-NYC for the big QPF max. Either way, should be a solid 3 day active period Sat-Mon.
  19. This is 100% what summer is all about. Just like summers of yore 250 years ago. Bonnets and breeches all over the beach at Walden Pond.
  20. Today
  21. those NNE storms sent out a distinct outflow boundary visible on radar- through here to nearing pike - seems to be interacting with W MA storm(s) now.
  22. I was down in Point Pleasant for a bit this evening. It was somewhat cool with a breeze on the boardwalk but hot and humid with no breeze less than a block inland.
  23. 79 now and beautiful
