Yeah I think South Plainfield must be close to 3 inches of rain. I'm close to the border of South Plainfield so this heavy just barely missed me a few miles to the east.
-
Yeah just some very slow odd movement with these storms in our area. If I was just a few miles to the east I would have gotten a lot of rain. Still it was just enough to give things a watering here.
-
Yep and I was consistently on the western edge of it so not too much rain here. Starting to see some sun in the western sky. A quarter inch is about going to do it here.
-
That cell popped up almost on top of me, but I was on the western edge of it. So not too bad here -- mostly moderate rain with some low end heavy rain for a little while. I saw a few lightning strikes a few miles to my east. 0.20" here so far. Still some moderate rain coming down but it's almost over. Looking forward to see a lot more rain tomorrow.

The soil here has dried out again so I'll be watering the vegetable garden today for the first time in awhile. It's great that we pulled out of the severe drought, but we're still in a moderate drought and need more rain. So hopefully early to mid next week will deliver. In the meantime this low humidity weather is spectacular. The dewpoint here right now is only 51 -- feels great.
-
Very little activity today too. Probably 90% of the area will stay dry.
-
Only 0.13" here. But the ground is still moist from Saturday's big rains, so it's not a big deal that we mostly missed today.
-
Thursday through the weekend is gonna be spectacular.
-
Just a little moderate shower here as the strong storm misses me slightly to the south.
-
Yeah looks like the heavy stuff will miss us just to the south.
-
The action moving into Somerset County will be here shortly. Hoping to get a heavy downpour.

I see the 15z run continues this theme, with storms scattered around throughout the afternoon instead of a break and then a main line for the early evening. Who knows -- these events are difficult to predict. I see on radar more downpours are popping up in eastern PA, so maybe this new idea from the HRRR is going to be correct.
-
So ridiculous. So many people don't understand the nature of summer storms, which of course is that only isolated spots get hit with flooding or damage. You shouldn't close things down due to thunderstorm potential.
-
On channel 7 Lee Goldberg will often say that he disagrees with the futurecast. Or he'll do what he did yesterday which was show the HRRR futurecast because he didn't agree with the regular futurecast not showing the break during the afternoon like the HRRR did.
-
Which is obviously wrong. It continues to appear that there will be a smaller round for late morning and midday, and then the potential major round for early evening. We could get hit hard around 5 to 7pm, but we'll have to see if there's enough sunshine during the afternoon break to really fire up the atmosphere and increase the risk of the early evening storms being severe.
