It appears that we could have a nice squall line with that front. It would be nice to get widepread strong storms instead of just widely scattered.
-
Nice to get a break from the heat and humidity today. It feels invigorating out there. More beautiful weather like this coming up at the end of the week. Friday looks like it could be a top 10 day of the year with sunshine, very low humidity (dewpoints in the 40s) and high temps in the low 80s. We do have a hot humid day coming up on Wednesday. Hopefully it will be a good severe weather day. The models are showing a nice round of storms late in the day. Looking forward to some good storms.
-
Yep but there were definitely model runs that showed most of the storms missing to the south today. Anyway as Stormlover said, at least we got hit yesterday. I don't care too much about being missed today because I got over an inch of rain yesterday.
-
Had a high temp of 96 here today, but it's been 91 the last couple hours due to all the clouds. Today could have been the worst day of the heat wave, but the clouds prevented that from happening. Didn't feel too bad out there for exercise during the late afternoon at 91 degrees with lots of clouds and breezy.
-
A good amount of clouds here still preventing it from getting as high as it could. 94 here right now.
-
Tuesday will be nice because the humidity will be low with dewpoints well down into the 50s, but I do think we'll make it up to the low 90s. Tomorrow is the day that temps will be significantly cooler with highs in the mid 80s.
-
And looks very likely that today is the last day of the heat wave, since tomorrow trended cooler. Just a 1 day interruption as we go back to the 90s for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Yeah the HRRR did a terrible job for today. Earlier in the afternoon I was mentioning that the HRRR had much less convection than the NAM models. It had hardly anything. 12z run of 3km NAM did a good job showing the amount of convection, although obviously it couldn't correctly predict exactly where. It had the heaviest going to our south, but it did a good job showing that some areas would get a lot of rain unlike the HRRR.

1.38" here. Very nice soaking. I'm glad I can take a break from watering for a couple days.
-
Yeah well back into Hunterdon and eastern PA. We certainly could get more downpours. Some models runs did have the storms this far south. The models were all over the place with the scattered convection. I'm glad our area is finally having good luck.
-
Sorry about that. I'm getting another downpour here. 1.28" so far.
-
Already 0.90" here. Much-needed rain.
-
Yeah I got lucky this time. It's still pouring.
-
Very heavy rain and a couple close lightning strikes. I see there's more all the way back into Hunterdon County, so this could be a major soaking. Great for the vegetable garden.
-
Yep, pouring here and just had loud thunder. So happy to finally get a storm!
-
Yeah I was just looking at radar and the storm in Somerset County looks pretty good. Hopefully it won't fall apart like the one earlier in the afternoon did. Heading right for me, so hopefully some heavy rain soon. Hopefully it will hit you too instead of missing slightly to your north.
-
Yeah it's annoying having to water the vegetable garden so often. I watered every day this week to help it get through the dry heat wave. I'm skipping the watering today ... the garden can survive 1 day without water, lol. Hopefully we'll get some help from mother nature soon.
-
It did drop the temperature all the way down to 78 here, so at least there's that.
-
Unfortunately not enough rain for me. Just light to moderate and a few hundreths. I got skipped over. As Stormlover said, it fell apart and then blew back up just a few miles to my east. Kind of similar to what happened with those storms 2 weeks ago. So annoying when that happens. I see it's coming down in buckets in eastern Middlesex County now. Very frustrating. I'm glad you're getting enough though.
-
So far it's only raining moderately here. I'm on the southern edge of this storm. Hopefully it'll start pouring. Did have some 30 to 40 mph wind gusts.
-
I just got home from Shoprite, and it appears just in time. Looks as if this storm is about to hit me. Loud thunder and getting windy. Too bad you're not in Plainfield. It appears it's gonna hit southern Union County along with northern Middlesex.
-
I agree. HRRR doesn't show nearly as much activity as the NAM models do. I'm not getting my hopes up too high for today, but there should be at least isolated activity so hopefully we'll get lucky. Also as far as the length of this heat wave, it looks very close on Monday. I thought it would be a 10 day heat wave through Wednesday here, but Monday might stay in the upper 80s before going back to the 90s for Tuesday and Wednesday. It's going to be close though. We certainly could touch 90 on Monday. It'll feel a lot better Monday afternoon though with the NW winds and dropping humidity.
-
Yeah unlike today where they're staying well north, a few pop ups can happen anywhere tomorrow. 18z HRRR has a couple cells right near our area, but of course at this point who knows where they'll pop up. Only about a 30% chance, so have to hope to get very lucky.
-
Got up to 97 here. Right now 96.
-
96 with a dew point of 66 here right now.
