Yeah I just had an extremely close lightning strike that sounded like a shotgun blast too. Love it!
-
Pouring.
-
Yeah not warned but man I can hear a ton of thunder from this storm that's about to hit northern Middlesex County and Union. I'm excited.
-
Yeah good looking storm about to hit our area. I'm glad we're getting lucky early just in case the stuff later misses us.
-
The timing on tonight's HRRR and NAM3km is around 2 to 4 in the afternoon, and they really hammer us with a big line of strong storms. I'm looking forward to big storms with heavy rain, but hopefully it won't be so severe that there's a lot of damage. Obviously the potential for that is there though.
-
It'll be interesting to see if HRRR and NAM3km are correct about our area getting hit hard during the morning. I would think afternoon/evening is more likely, but we shall see.
-
I see HRRR and NAM3km actually have a morning round now too, hitting us very hard here around 10am. Then the afternoon round and another round later at night. Hard to believe we'll get hit by 3 rounds, but 2 rounds seems like a pretty good bet. We need more rain so I hope the models are right.

You would hope that people with underlying health conditions like asthma or COPD would know to not exercise outside in these conditions. I assume it's mainly healthy people outside on the courts in these conditions. As many doctors have pointed out, conditions like today are manageable for most healthy people. They were able to play a baseball game in Philly this evening. People with underlying conditions can suffer an acute serious problem in conditions like today, but for people that are healthy it would take prolonged exposure (like weeks or months) to cause serious problems. Just a day or two in a reasonable AQI (like 150 to 200 like we had most of today) isn't going to cause a problem beyond minor issues like eye burning or nose irritation.
-
Yeah it got up close to 500 in 2023 which obviously is hazardous. So while this is bad, it doesn't compare to 2023. I was outside doing work in the garden earlier and it didn't bother me. I have bad allergies to things like tree pollen in the spring, but luckily this smoke doesn't seem to bother my eyes.
-
Weird because the AirNow.gov website says the AQI is 152 here right now. Who knows which to believe.
-
Seems like it's mostly in the unhealthy for sensitive groups category in our area. Nothing compared to what happened a few years ago.
-
Surprised the AQI isn't higher with all this smoke.
-
Missing me just a few miles to the north. I was watching the lightning in the north sky. Just some sprinkles here.
-
We'll have to see if the activity in Warren County hits our area in a little while. Today wasn't supposed to be a big t-storm day, but quite a bit of activity.
-
98 here right now.
