winterwx21

Tiny downpour. It poured for about 2 minutes. 

I got 0.32" overnight after getting 0.49" yesterday. I see HRRR says the heavy stuff is gonna miss to the south and only gives us light rain tonight, but who knows. Some other models hit us. No big deal if today ends up missing since I already got a nice 0.81" soaking. Feels very steamy out there with the dewpoint at 75. 

0.46" here so far today.

Rain is like half a mile away. @winterwx21 should be getting a nice storm

Just started to pour as I typed that

Yeah that was a nice downpour. Not much wind or thunder, but it came down in buckets. Glad the garden got a good watering.

models have a batch tonight.  Tomorrow looks less impressive maybe b/c of the storms/cloud debris from tonight?

NAM 3km and HRRR have a pretty good round of showers/storms tomorrow but pretty late, around 8 to 10pm. Hopefully we'll get a decent soaking either from that or the potential round overnight tonight.

Hoping for some storms today or tomorrow. 

Me too. It has gotten to the point that we could use some rain again. I had to give the garden a good watering yesterday. I know we have a pretty good chance of storms tomorrow, but I'm hoping the models are right about a round of rain happening overnight tonight. 

July 4th continues to look great on the models, and now Saturday looks good too. The models now hold the rain off until Sunday. Give me good weather for cookouts and fireworks Friday and Saturday, and I'll be very happy. Of course it's still a week away, so we hope things don't change.

76 and mostly sunny

It did touch 80 very briefly here this afternoon when the sun came out, but then dropped back to the mid 70s quickly due to the east wind. 73 right now. That east wind felt very refreshing when I was out running.

80 again!  Sun trying to pop out

Enough sun here now that I popped back up to 79. NWS was right about it rebounding this afternoon.

Back to awful dreary cloudy cool weather

 

Who wants this crap

Seems as if a lot of people here are enjoying it. After 3 days of extreme heat, this is a refreshing change. I wouldn't want this cloudy cool weather to last for too long, but I'll take 2 days of this after that insane heat. It was too hot to go running outside the last 3 days, so I'll enjoy running out there today and tomorrow.

Supposed to rebound later. We shall see

Hard to believe it's gonna pop back to 80 degrees this afternoon with the clouds and east winds. The temp is down to 72 here now. And tomorrow will be a struggle to make it to 70. 

Had a high temp of 98 here today. It was 99-101-98 for the three day period here. 

95 here right now. Clouds definitely keeping the temp down a little bit.

Not ideal when dealing with convective rains but you can see as the ridge pulls back it'll turn wetter with frequent storm chances starting Thu - jul 2 then again jul 5 -7

 

I just hope our dry July 4th holds, but of course accuracy at this range isn't very good.

Dews have been in the 75-77 range here most of the day.  73 now

Interesting that dewpoints didn't fall as much for your area, which is just a little west of my area.

Doesn't feel as bad as yesterday with dews in the 60s

Yeah the dewpoint got down to 66 here. Definitely feels better out there today despite getting to 101. Yesterday's 99 felt horrendous with dews in the high 70s. About the worst feeling day I can ever remember. 

101 here.

Dewpoints have been holding in the low 70s since last night here, it would be nice to see a bit of a drop

Dewpoints are dropping now as expected. Dewpoint is 69 here now. Should get down to about 65 here later in the afternoon. Doesn't feel as bad as yesterday, but of course still tremendously hot. Temp here is 99 right now. We're definitely going over 100 here today. 

Thankfully the heat index won't be as high as yesterday since dewpoints will be dropping to the mid 60s this afternoon. I do hope we can hit all time high temps for June though. I would think Newark would be able to make it to 103 today to tie the record.

Amazing to think we can go from this to backdoor drizzly gunk on Thu and Fri. GFS is back to strong easterly wind misery those two days. 

It might stay in the low 70s on Friday. I think we'll welcome a cool cloudy day after this tremendous heat. 

99 here right now.

Since my units are upstairs, its actually cooler up there than downstairs. 

That's pretty good. I wish it worked that way at my house, lol. 3 units going upstairs and yet it's 81 up here, but it's 76 downstairs where there are no units going. I spend most of my time upstairs since that where all the main rooms are.

Same although I'm at 77 downstairs and its pretty comfortable 

Yeah the problem here is I'm upstairs. I just checked downstairs and it's 76 down there.

My AC in this new house is 25 years old and struggling to keep the house below 76. Not great. 

I have 3 window AC units going and it's 81 in this house right now. This weather combined with an old house makes it tough for the AC to keep it cool.
