Yeah I'm on the northern side of Piscataway, so I missed out. Just a little shower with the wind. Barely enough to wet the ground.
-
There definitely were warning signs that this might happen. Plenty of model runs that showed the line falling apart before getting to our area, but then blowing back up just to the south and east. Only a moderate shower here. I'll be watering tomorrow ... very frustrating.
-
Monmouth County is gonna get a lot of rain from this as well. The line falls apart for our area, but blows up to the south and east. Sucks.
-
The last several HRRR runs have been giving our area very little rain with the line. Looks as if that's gonna be right. Some gusty winds, but it's really weakening and looking like it's just gonna be a moderate shower.
-
Radar in PA does look pretty good. Keeping my fingers crossed that it holds together.
-
18z HRRR gives us a decent batch of rain late at night, well after the storm threat this afternoon. Who knows, but I hope we can pull off a decent soaking whether it's from a storm this afternoon or moderate rain at night.
-
I am so ready for storms today. Let's hope we're not disappointed. It appears that it's gonna be a long time before we have another chance, so we really need today to deliver.
-
Yeah it's good timing for Father's Day weekend. Comfortable temps and very low humidity. I still think we'll see some mid 90s next week, but the extreme 100 degree heat is looking unlikely for our area. Some of those earlier Euro runs were likely overdone. Bluewave did a good job explaining the reason.
-
That was a very comfortable 4 day stretch with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, but now back to the well above average temps. It's 88 degrees here right now. Still feels pretty comfortable though with the dewpoint at 55. Nice day. We definitely want the higher dewpoints for storms tomorrow though.
-
I hope we get hit hard tomorrow. It has been about a week since we've had rain, and if the Euro is right it's gonna be dry through the big heat next week with the next chance not coming until next weekend. We really need this rain.
-
So this is going to end up being a very long stretch without rain if Friday doesn't work out. Models still showing storms with the front Friday, so hopefully we'll get a decent soaking. We're really gonna need it. Father's Day Weekend weather looks great. Nice warm temps in the low-mid 80s and very comfortable with low humidity. Dewpoints could fall to the high 40s. Enjoy that before the hot pattern settles in next week.

I've always noticed the same thing with the vegetable garden. Rain water is a lot better than potable water. Obviously potable water will keep the garden going and in decent shape during dry periods, but it's not the same as getting rain. Especially during the spring when the garden is trying to get going, I always notice how much better the vegetable plants look in the couple days after a good rainfall. There's a significant growth spurt and they look much healthier. That doesn't happen after watering with potable water.
-
Yep I'm starting the watering today. Sucks that we're going into such a dry pattern. Hopefully we'll see storms with the front on Friday ... that looks like our only chance. We'll really be desperate for rain if that doesn't work out.
-
Yeah that's certainly possible.
-
Yeah and as I mentioned yesterday, it appears that the heat will start on Thursday with low 90s. The timing of the heat moved up with Thursday and Friday the hot days, and then a little cooler with lower humidity for next weekend. We can hope for a storm with the front late Friday too. That looks like our only chance in this dry pattern over the next week.
-
Yeah obviously this month is gonna end up WAY above average. Looks like finally a couple slightly below average days Monday and Tuesday, but consistent well above average temps after that. Thankfully we got that good soaking the other day, but we're really gonna be in need of rain by late next week. As you said, it's not looking good with the very dry pattern ahead. Lots of watering will be needed.
-
Looks to me that we might see 90 degrees as early as Thursday. For people that don't like the heat, enjoy the very comfortable 5 day period that we have before then.
-
85 degrees with a dewpoint of 52 here right now. Very comfortable today ... perfect weather for outdoor activities.
-
Yeah Mount Holly overdid it with the 80% chance for this afternoon. Plenty of areas missing out because it's only scattered activity. It should have been more like a 40% to 50% chance.
-
I got hit by that cell that missed you guys to the north. Nice heavy downpour that delivered a quick 0.18". Stormlover would have gotten it if he was in Plainfield.
-
Some cells popping up now. One moving into Warren County. It looks like widely scattered activity instead of a solid line though, so I don't know why they're going with a 90% chance. Anyway I hope we get hit this afternoon.
-
Tomorrow looks like a great day with mid 80s and low humidity. Overall a nice stretch through the middle of next week, with a lot of 80 degree days with low humidity. I agree with SACRUS that we'll likely get into heat mid month. I think we'll see 90 degree weather for Father's Day Weekend and beyond.
-
I picked up .84 here overnight. This event was nothing to write home about, but at least we got the good soaking that we needed. Hopefully we'll see a t-storm this afternoon, but it appears that the activity will be isolated as Stormlover and Brian pointed out.
-
I see HRRR has shifted south with the heavy amounts. Latest run is showing 2"+ for a lot of central NJ. Radar looks as if that's gonna be correct, but most areas to the north that get much less should still see a decent .25 to .50 soaking.

Just temporary for the early summer while his Plainfield home is having renovations.
