Thanks for the kind words. Are you still up in the Frederick area?

I've been working outside all morning. Just a few showers here. BDR T DXR T HVN .01 GON .01

A link to the data please

Yeah, visibility is shit here too. Smells terrible. It rained earlier and left splotches of ash on my car

Summer Solstice. My summer starts June first.

Didn’t someone say 6z Euro qpf was usually right the day before?

Yep, huge differences here. Some of the area got 1/3-1/2 inch (0.34 here), then a stripe from far western Alleghany up into southern Bath county got like 2-3 inches. Pushed Dunlap creek up 2-2.5 feet and Jackson river up a foot or so (and muddy) with rest of creeks and rivers in area barely moving.

Up to 59° and the rain is mostly light. All in all pretty nice day.

Same here, low visibility all things considered and a strong smell of smoke. Weekends have had clouds and rain here 11 out of 15 , now add nasty smoke particulates.

It’s bad up here.

1953 had a historically hot summer for us too, with two legendary historic heatwaves with 4 100+ degree days spread evenly between them and even a historic severe wx outbreak with an F4 tornado in Worcester, MA!! 1953: The warmest June on record occurred in Oklahoma City, OK. The main part of the heat wave extended from the 11th through the 21st, and seven of the daily high temperatures during that stretch remain records for their respective dates. June 14th was the hottest day, reaching a toasty 106°. The other records ranged from 100° to 105°. Even the nighttime lows were records. Eight daily minimum temperatures from June 1953 are still record-warm daily minimum temperatures, ranging from 75° to 80°. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

days and days of suffering

Thursday could be even hotter than this past Thursday was! Friday is the first day of summer.

July 2011 had historic heat. About July 2013 that was one hot month, I remember July 4th was very stuffy, big heat and no wind lol. That was the last time PHL hit 100 too wasn't it?

historic heat that summer too!!

2013 was a frontloaded summer at best. That one was pretty much done by 7/21. It's the only August without a 90+ day here in PHL in the last 40 years. Outside of that super heat wave in July, 2013's summer temperature stats were nearly identical to 2014 (with June and August both years differing by 0.1 2010-2012 had widespread heat in the East: I don't see that with 2013 (which in fact looks cool in the Southeast): Of course, that was a much stronger la nina. The first year was a strong la nina, and the second a moderate la nina. Not to mention, a deepening -PDO and a pattern that changed at the start of November. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong, which is why we had the torch we had from November 2011-March 2012. (I don't see any similarities with now. In fact, I see much more similarities with 2013 than with 2011. Like now, we are much closer to ENSO neutral and a solar max in 2013. Definitely not what we had in 2011.) 2011 was dry in June and July. The record rains were in August and September.

Stein finally came.

.03 lol. Not wet a bit under the trees. Just about over too . Stein showing life

EPS has a nice NW flow look as heat dome builds east. Let’s pray for violence.

Here is the academic publication related to Google's new cyclone model. [Alet et al. 2025]

Nice October weather today. Won't get many days like this, wish it happened during the week vs weekend though.

No rain in Maytown so far for the event.

0.07

The next week is spotty rains Sat-Mon then some overnight showers storms Wed- and scattered storms Thu-FRi,

Only saving grace is while cool and cloudy we should avoid the heaviest rains these next 72 hours.
