Wow!

Just over 6”.

The PDO isn’t even close to the 2013 progression at this point. Like not even in the ballpark. ENSO isn’t similar either

Lots of roads closed. Definitely water I haven’t seen water before.

2014 / 2017 also just below this list other sites had single digit 90 degrees days those years.

1/48

Overall hot/humid trough back into the MW/GL with W/ Atlantic Ridge pumping heights along the EC. Euro similar

Records: Highs: EWR: 105 (1993) NYC: 102 (1993) LGA: 99 (1993) JFK: 100 (1993) New Brnswck: 103 (1936) Lows: EWR: 58 (2009) NYC: 55 (1890) LGA: 60 (1953) JFK: 58 (2009) New Brnswck: 49 (1894) Historical: 1776: A strong gale played a role in a battle between the Royal Governor of Virginia, Dunmore, and General Lewis of the rebel forces. The royal fleet had been injured prior to the storm by General Lewis' forces and was sailing from Gwynn's Island toward St. George's Island, in the Potomac. The British crew was without water and enduring smallpox when the gale struck. A flour-laden supply ship ran aground. One ships foundered at the Mouth of the Rappahannock, while another was stranded on the Eastern shore (Shomette). The H.M.S. Otter, the Governor's ship, was rescuing another ship in distress. They were rescued just in time. After loading the distressed ship's cargo, the ship sunk. The governor later left Virginia for good on August 5th. Many ships in the area suffered damage to their rigging, sails, and anchors. Two vessels were driven ashore in St. Mary's county (Shomette). (Ref.

A total of 59 homes were hit and 14 were destroyed. More than 2,000 trees were downed. Winds from the accompanying thunderstorm also flattened a potato warehouse 12 miles north of Friendship.

(Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1987 - An early morning thunderstorm in Minnesota produced wind gusts to 91 mph at Waseca. Later that day, thunderstorms in South Dakota produced wind gusts to 81 mph at Ipswitch, and baseball size hail near Hayes and Capa. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Thunderstorms brought welcome rains to parts of the central U.S., but produced severe weather along the New England coast, in the Great Lakes Region, in North Carolina, and in the Southern Plateau Region. Strong thunderstorm winds gusting to 80 mph at Bullfrog, UT, sank three boats on Lake Powell. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Severe thunderstorms spawned seventeen tornadoes in the northeastern U.S. A powerful (F-4) tornado struck Hamden CT and New Haven, CT, causing 100 million dollars damage at Hamden, and another 20 million dollars damage around New Haven.

It was the strongest tornado of record for eastern New York State. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1993: Seven inches of rain fell in one hour at Adrian, MN. During normal summers, such incredible downpours might cause flash flooding, but not widespread river flooding. But during the spring and summer of 1993, such events were commonplace and the resulting flooding was catastrophic. 1993: more record heat occurred across the east. Record highs included: Newark, NJ: 105°, NYC-Central Park, NY: 102°, Atlantic City, NY: 101°, NYC-Kennedy, NY: 100°, Providence, RI: 100°, Wilmington, NC: 100°, NYC-LaGuardia, NY: 99°, Dulles Airport, VA: 99°, Raleigh, NC: 99°, Portland, ME: 98°, Concord, NH: 98° and Islip, NY: 98°.

Dennis degenerated to a low pressure area over the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys, and it was eventually absorbed by an extratropical low over southeastern Canada on July 18. Dennis' Storm Track and other info.- NOAA.Gov.-N.H.C. 2005 - Hurricane Dennis landed near Pensacola, Florida as a category 3 storm. Maximum sustained winds at the time of landfall were near 120 mph. There were nine hurricane-related fatalities in the U.S. and preliminary estimates of insured losses ranged from $1 to $1.5 billion. 2009: More like a sizzling hot day in a desert location, instead of NW OK. Nonetheless, with highs of 115 degrees, Freedom broke its all-time record. On this record-setting day, Buffalo heated to 90 degrees by 6:00 a.m. and 107 by 11:00 a.m. (Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA)

https://mrms.nssl.noaa.gov/qvs/product_viewer/ You can find the specific product under FLASH on the left side of the page. Can go back in time and everything. It’s awesome.

A quick rain shower over the northern neck. Maybe it will add half to 3/4 of an inch or so. It was coming down. Wonder if they’re using some CAPE from the bay to sustain themselves.

Scoots taking a cleaver to webbed hands.

What's that from? You find cool s***.

I buy stocks in companies I use a lot to sort of pay myself back. Its never enough to cover what I spend, so the dividends are like a small rebate. But its something. We can choose who our energy suppliers are, but not the transmission part, and thats where we get hosed.

Your fired

Crushed

Crazy, 1.18" here. Had some heavy rain and thunder in the middle of the night with a cell

71 / 69 cloudy. Clouds today break the heatwave keeping it in 80s / 70s. Clouds linger into Friday with front slow as molasses clearing the coast and the W. Atlantic Ridge anchored off shore. The weekend looks to be mainly dry with warm/humid mainly 80s with some of the hotter and sunnieest locations maybe touching 90 on Sat, but very limited. Hotter by Tue/Wed next week / mid month. Overall higher heights routinely expanding W/ Atlantic Ridge and western heat flowing / expanding and building north and east. 7/10 - 7/11 : Storms / clouds cooler 7/12 - 7/14 : Warm/humid limited 90s 7/15 - beyond : Hotter overall

HRRR shuts it all down in a couple of hrs-then just cloudy and humid rest of day

Yep about a quarter inch of rain here for the event. The Chantal part busted-the remnants went OTS well to our S and E. Never buy into these big weeklong rain events in July

Picked up 2.3" last evening of welcomed rain. Lightening was very intenses but very little wind and no hail. Power flickered several times but never went completely off...

Finished up with 0.99" yesterday, 2.88" over the past 3 days, and 4.45" for the month of July so far. Bottomed out at 67 this morning and it's currently overcast and 72 with dp 69.

Low of 69 and 1.79" of rain. The rain wasn't as dramatic as I thought it would be yesterday. Outside of that initial burst, it was actually fairly soaking in nature and spread out over the course of four hours. The ground seemed to eat it up quite well.

I think he strongly favors a 2013-2014 like impending winter season and is thus basically rip and reading the 2013 troipical output. I think there already is and is going to be a more established cool ENSO pardigm than evident that year.

Since the current active era started in 1995, the only seasons pretty comparable to the bearishness of his #s are all either El Niño seasons or the cold neutral ENSO season of 2013. (My seasonal contest forecast is calling for 14/9/3 with ACE of 139 fwiw.)

More storms today also and looks pretty unsettled through the weekend as well.
