I think he left because he was mad about being 5 posted. I was glad to see Liberty finally return last week. He said it was only a temporary return, but I told him that I hope he stays. 5 posts per day is certainly enough to be a strong contributor here. He's still posting so it seems as if he has decided to stay -- hopefully that's the case.

Only 0.01" here today. I was surprised when they issued the watch for us today. It looks like isolated storms tomorrow afternoon. I would think that SPC should upgrade us to a marginal risk for tomorrow.
-
Just a shower here and breezy. I saw a little lightning in the north sky.
-
Yeah my area a little west of NYC usually has one of the lower dewpoints in the tri-state. Newark has a dewpoint of only 65 right now too.
-
17z run of the HRRR hits us pretty good around 7-8pm. We shall see.
-
88 with a dewpoint of 65 here right now. At least the humidity isn't terrible today.
-
Probably just sprinkles for us from that.
-
Dewpoint is down to 67 here right now. Still humid but better than it has been the last several days.
-
Here it was just a brief moderate shower. Hopefully that's it for today. Nothing more behind this on radar right now, but will keep an eye on it in case something else pops up.
-
Not nearly as widespread as yesterday though. Yesterday we had lines of storms, unlike the isolated smaller cells today.
-
Yeah that cell that popped in Somerset County might clip me and miss you just to the south. It's gonna be very close here -- looks like I'm gonna be on the northern edge of it. Glad this stuff is coming through early instead of later when I have the cookout.
-
I can hear the thunder from the cell that's going through central Middlesex County.
-
Yeah looks as if there will be isolated activity in northern-central NJ around 2-4pm from those pop ups in northeast PA that you mentioned. I'm not having the cookout until 6pm and I think any activity will be gone by then, but we'll see.

In June, many people here were talking about how they had never seen lawns burn out so early. It looked terrible with all the brown grass during the severe drought. I understand your point about too much rain, but we want enough to keep things looking green. As a vegetable gardener, it's always frustrating to me when we don't get enough rain during the spring and summer. You can water all you want and that does keep the plants going, but it's not the same as rain water. I always notice in the spring that the plants in the vegetable garden have a big growth spurt after a good rainfall. That doesn't happen from just watering with the hose during dry periods. As I mentioned, I lost some of the first tomatoes to sunscald in early July due to the combination of extreme heat and extremely dry conditions. Thankfully things turned around over the last month with plenty of rainfall. The vegetable garden is doing great now. Obviously you and I will never agree on this subject, lol.

HRRR has nothing, but we know that's a wildly inconsistent model. It'll be interesting to see if there's some widely scattered activity later.
