I had friends in Sandy with portable generators. Problem was they could not get gas. Driving around looking for it. Many gas stations had no power to pump. In addition is was 2-3 days before you could get out of your local area since so many trees were blocking roads. Natural gas only way to go if you can. I know some can't.

You have a really nice view from your house. -
Up to 86 and about another 30 - 90 mins before more clouds and isolated showers come advancing east

3k NAM has a neat cyclonic feature near Kentucky that lasts all Sunday.

Always depends on size of propane tank. I have a natural gas line for my WHG (20kw), but my parent’s house has a buried 500 gallon tank for their WHG (50kw), as I recall. It was getting low a week after Sandy.

My Tempest Weather Station is up and running! So far, so good! Now it’s time to head to Hilton Head SC for vacation haha. Got it mounted and set up right before I left to have data to track when I’m gone!

I’d love for this to be true. However, unfortunately: The administration has a new climate change office. It’s headed by a climate critic. The office that produces the National Climate Assessment has been reconstituted, after the administration gutted it last year. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/09/the-administration-has-a-new-climate-change-office-its-headed-by-a-climate-critic-00990916 ————————— Spreading climate misinformation is fast becoming a shortcut to popularity across right-wing media. This man’s rise proves it. Matthew Wielicki makes baseless claims about climate change and is now a budding star in the climate denial community https://www.mediamatters.org/climate-deniers/spreading-climate-misinformation-fast-becoming-shortcut-popularity-across-right

82/83 was east based or leaning per SSTA (some sites have maps that illistrate it better, but I don'thave any off hand), so no need to give up yet. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/wksst9120.for

There was a sharp cut-off there. The Red X is where the Prince Frederick mesonet site is. It got the short end of the stick.

I initially thought the 12z hrrr liked Baltimore this evening, but then I looked at the rainfall distribution.

Thanks, Chris. Wow! 1. Am I correct in assuming this 0Z Euro map referring to record high H5 for 6Z of 7/14/26 centered on the N Plains is for ALL dates rather than just for July 14th? 2. Do you have a link to a source for record highest and lowest H5 for all dates for any location? -
I'm hoping to luck out next Saturday for Freedom Fest in the park.

After our heavy rain across much of Southern Chester County yesterday today will feature some additional shower chances both today and tomorrow with a slow-moving cold front. High temperatures today will be near normal in the low to mid 80's. A bit below normal over the weekend before we warm to the upper 80's on Tuesday and near 90 degrees both Wednesday and Thursday. -

Not sure on totals from yesterday's storm. Prince fred Mesonet says 0.28" but at my place about 2mi north you wouldn't surprise me if you said I got 2.8". It dumped here for a while and was very heavy. Way more than a quarter inch. There must've been some cutoff shenanigans or something.

I think @HurricaneJosh is chasing this -
1.57" total for yesterday

Natural gas line if you can is the way to go. You are correct that if you have propane, it would only be good if you are getting the supply refreshed after a few days.
-
After Irene (4days) and snow-river (6days), in 2 months time, so many people had whole house generators installed in Westchester. During Sandy (9days) I had friends sitting with generators and no power because the propane co’s couldn’t keep up- just something to consider for long term outages!

About three more weeks until we start the slow descent towards fall
