Those storms that popped near Harrisburg are the ones that HRRR keeps showing hitting here around 9 or 10pm. If it's 9 fireworks will be ruined, but hoping it will be closer to 10 so we can squeeze them in. But at least it's dry for early evening for cooking outside.
-
The timing is pretty late though. Both HRRR and NAM3km don't have storms hitting our area until 9 or 10pm. Looks ok for late afternoon cookouts but it will be a close call for fireworks here. Hoping to get them in before storms hit.

And if you take a close look at that radar you can see what happened. I'm on the northern side of Piscataway, close to the border of South Plainfield. You see the heavier echoes to the east and west -- I'm in that narrow little area in between where you don't see the bright echoes. Somehow I got split and got only a couple hundreths of an inch of rain, lol. Very disappointing. But as I said, thankful that I didn't lose power. I hear a lot of sirens out there so obviously there is quite a bit of damage from the near 60mph wind gusts that we had ahead of the line.
-
Just a light shower here. Horrible. At least we didn't lose power.
-
All this wind but based on the way radar looks I'm gonna get very little rain. Almost comical.
-
Can see on radar that the storms are weakening now as they're moving in. So hopefully that wind well ahead of the storm was the worst of it. And hopefully we get a decent amount of rain.
-
Would be mind-boggling if the 4th of July gets ruined for a 2nd year in a row.
-
Getting some 50 to 60mph gusts here ahead of the line of storms.
-
Hoping those storms in northeast PA that are moving southeast hit here in a few hours. NAM3km says we're going to get hit. A heavy downpour would be very welcome.

The problem is I'm upstairs and have that super heated attic above. The 2 AC units work fine to keep the upstairs reasonable (like 78 degrees) during the afternoon when we have normal summer heat. But when we have this extreme heat it gets up to 83 or 84 up here during the afternoon and evening. At least it cools down pretty good overnight.
-
The window units don't work that well when it's this incredibly hot. With 2 of them going yesterday my living room still got up to 84 degrees. Obviously I have a problem with super heated air up in the attic.
-
Yeah last summer we had our worst heat wave in late June with 100 degree temps for a few days, but then we didn't get another extreme heat wave like that again the rest of the summer. Very unlikely to get this type of heat wave twice in a summer, but of course you never know for sure. Anyway I had a high temp of 104. Probably gonna be the same high on Friday.
-
Already 100 here.
-
I bet Newark will hit 105.
-
Yeah the chance that we'll see anything here today is very slim -- I'd say a 10% chance. But I am watching radar and praying, lol.
