Flash flooding hit parts of the area. A cell set up over DTW and dropped 2.68" officially but 4-5" JUST west. Also rains north of Detroit dropped 2-5" in southern Macomb co. Meanwhile just 0.33". Really been missing out this summer here.

Picked up 1/2 inch of rain today. Definitely helped keep the temperatures down, even though it was extremely humid.

we agree. it's a gorgeous night! baseball game, too

Nice evening in Boston. Little warm today I think it got in the '80s.

Nice

Hoping for a repeat of last night around here but knowing the model and media hype there’s a miss south incoming.

To Warlock

95 was my high with dews in upper 70s. Peak heat index was 108

I was told it was only in New Jersey.

Tossed

they're pretty much the worst, especially in a few weeks/month or so. lol

NAM a soaker and 18z gfs a big shift north.

Yup

96F HI 105F

yellow jackets? hard to tell with the 720p

Mother f******

It's finally here, our favorite month, August. it seems early month with be dominated by "Coc". Not sure we'll see a return to big #'s, but hopefully some heavy dew days and slow moving tropical rainers to keep Stein at bay. And perhaps some TC remnants very late month?

Possible derecho out in MN this evening

Yeah that big MCS last night definitely saved us for today humidity wise. Was looking like a shoe-in for 80+ dews today, but stayed mid 70s. Was quite refreshing lol.

More late night Iowa sloppy seconds to look forward to, yipeee!

If you haven’t decided yet, today looks okay for a clear night sky, at least according to the HRDPS which is apparently a decent model for cloud cover which I’ve heard in space weather groups. Satellite also seems good at the moment. Good luck stargazing.

Amazing how quickly it dries out in this heat. Had an excellent rainfall month (8.59”) but we’ve gone since July 21 without measurable rain since and it’s gotten crispy

CAPE is up to 8000 J/kg in the Plains. one tornado ongoing some heavy rain and floods in NW OHio

About $7 trillion per year globally. That’s probably the most subsidized industry in history. https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/climate-change/energy-subsidies

Don's pre-summer outlook of a statistically significantly warmer than normal summer looks like it will come to pass with June-July at KEWR top 6. Very good statistical call barring a chilly August. Waiting on a thread til tomorrow morning for two 100F days at KEWR, (for me unexpected in lae June), to be followed by a potential widespread 1-4" forum rainfall with iso 8"... EPS through 12z/28 cycle continues strong on this, though edging northward. I also have to think there has to be a stripe of svr near the boundary Thursday? Just too early for me to be sure the EPS is going to be mostly correct. From what I can tell, WPC is so far, accepting the EPS solution.
