Too warm 

Sweating

Nothing wrong with sweating a little bit. Enjoy it. 

82 here. Spectacular weather. Very warm temps feel great with the low humidity.

Most models had well under a tenth 

Yeah definitely more than we thought. Latest HRRR shows this band pretty well with about a quarter inch across our area.

Yeah raining now and a touch of lightning. Nothing heavy yet 

We might get a third of an inch out of it. Decent batch of moderate rain incoming.

Line in Hunterdon definitely weakening but could still survive a bit longer

Yep looks like it's just gonna be some moderate rain for us. 

75 degrees here. 

Strange that RGEM is showing rain for tomorrow afternoon. The other models are dry. I assume the RGEM is off its rocker. It's supposed to be a beautiful day. Probably the warmest day of the next 3 as well with temps well up into the 70s. 

Enjoy the 70s today through Tuesday., Too bad we're going to be backdoored with cool and damp weather for Wednesday and Thursday. Hopefully we can break out of it a little bit and have a decent day on Friday.

Pouring! More rain coming up from PHL 

Decent downpour with that line. It added 0.15" here, so I'm up to 0.99" for the event. Another batch of lighter rain coming up from the south as you pointed out, so that will get me to a little over an inch for the event. I'm glad this didn't end up being another one of those 2 to 3 inch super soakers. We didn't need that, but an inch was a nice watering for the vegetable garden. 

Tomorrow looks nasty. Cloudy and windy with high temps only in the mid 50s, but then we go back to nice warm weather on Sunday. Looks like a nice stretch of mostly high temps in the 70s for Sunday through most of next week. Then probably a cooldown to below normal temps next weekend. 

Anyway I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Sun's coming out. Let's see if those downpours make it here from PA

I've picked up 0.84" from this event so far. I see the narrow line of downpours has moved into Somerset County, so it will be here shortly and might get us to a little over an inch of rain for the event.

Our cool downs are still above normal 

We were running about 1 degree below normal through the first week of the month, but we knew that wouldn't last these days. That 80 degree day on the 9th wiped away our negative departure for the month. 

80 degrees here. Beautiful. 

Now up to 78 here.

Overcast here currently…but it was a beautiful morning. 

76 here right now. Maybe we can get to 80 today. It's going to be close.

Yes but I miss snow

I'm glad you're starting to come around. We want snow in the winter, but this time of year it's nice to get warm weather.

It's amazing that even with the sun blocked 89% here on LI, if no one told me there was an eclipse would I even notice?  Maybe I might think things seemed a little off, but I doubt it.  Hoping some of the folks who travelled to where there was totality will share some picks once all is said and done!

Yeah it stays pretty bright out even with just 10% of the sun. Didn't seem very dark to me. Really meh, but I know it's cool to look at with the special glasses for people that are fascinated by this event.

Looks like any significant rain holds off til Thursday night into Friday and isn't looking as bad as it had been

Yeah I was gonna mention that too. Models right now showing a half inch to 1 inch rainfall, not too bad. Hopefully that will be the case since the last thing we need is another 3 inch super soaker. Of course the way things have been going, it wouldn't be surprising to see the models trend wetter as it gets closer. 

Anyway it's 68 degrees here. Beautiful weather today.

That's if you can even get off from work . 

Meh I don't really care about this like others. It will be cool to see though .

I am with you on that. I love watching meteor showers, but eclipse doesn't interest me very much.

That was the whole winter and parts of NY got lucky with that.

Yeah that snowband saved my area from having a way below average snowfall winter. Ended up getting almost 20 inches for the winter here.

Facts 

I'll still take that great snowband we had in February over this lol. 

48 degrees here as our below average early April continues. Looking forward getting back to above normal temps on Monday (probably mid 60s), and then mid 70s on Tuesday.

Was legit scary as someone just posted.  Imagine if it happened in the middle of the night.

Yeah not good for people that were still in bed. Just talked to my elderly father. He was sleeping late and was so startled that he fell out of bed and hurt his back. 

Just now, Allsnow said:

Crazy. I thought a train was going by…. 
 

my house was shaking 

Wow. That's the most I've ever felt my house shake. Quite a bit of stuff fell.

Rain is not done yet…

The main event was over, but yeah added .23 more here from the late night showers. Heard some pinging on the window when I was trying to get to sleep, so we had a little sleet mixed in with the rain. Was quite an event with a t-storm and a little wintry precip at the end. 3.08" was the 3 day rain total here. 

Looks like that's about it. 1.78" here today after 0.95" yesterday, so 2.73" for this very wet 2 day period. About what was expected. 

Boy do we need a drying out period now. Thankfully the next week looks dry, and I'm looking forward to the warmup next week. We should hit 70 here on Tuesday. It'll be nice to get back to weather that's good for outdoor activities. 

Didn't last long, but it was nice to get the first t-storm of the season. A nice highlight in this otherwise lousy week.
