And if you take a close look at that radar you can see what happened. I'm on the northern side of Piscataway, close to the border of South Plainfield. You see the heavier echoes to the east and west -- I'm in that narrow little area in between where you don't see the bright echoes. Somehow I got split and got only a couple hundreths of an inch of rain, lol. Very disappointing. But as I said, thankful that I didn't lose power. I hear a lot of sirens out there so obviously there is quite a bit of damage from the near 60mph wind gusts that we had ahead of the line.
-
Just a light shower here. Horrible. At least we didn't lose power.
-
All this wind but based on the way radar looks I'm gonna get very little rain. Almost comical.
-
Can see on radar that the storms are weakening now as they're moving in. So hopefully that wind well ahead of the storm was the worst of it. And hopefully we get a decent amount of rain.
-
Would be mind-boggling if the 4th of July gets ruined for a 2nd year in a row.
-
Getting some 50 to 60mph gusts here ahead of the line of storms.
-
Hoping those storms in northeast PA that are moving southeast hit here in a few hours. NAM3km says we're going to get hit. A heavy downpour would be very welcome.
-
The problem is I'm upstairs and have that super heated attic above. The 2 AC units work fine to keep the upstairs reasonable (like 78 degrees) during the afternoon when we have normal summer heat. But when we have this extreme heat it gets up to 83 or 84 up here during the afternoon and evening. At least it cools down pretty good overnight.
-
The window units don't work that well when it's this incredibly hot. With 2 of them going yesterday my living room still got up to 84 degrees. Obviously I have a problem with super heated air up in the attic.
-
Yeah last summer we had our worst heat wave in late June with 100 degree temps for a few days, but then we didn't get another extreme heat wave like that again the rest of the summer. Very unlikely to get this type of heat wave twice in a summer, but of course you never know for sure. Anyway I had a high temp of 104. Probably gonna be the same high on Friday.
-
Already 100 here.
-
I bet Newark will hit 105.
-
Yeah the chance that we'll see anything here today is very slim -- I'd say a 10% chance. But I am watching radar and praying, lol.
-
99 here. Feels terrible with the dewpoint at 73.
-
Euro isn't showing much for the 4th. Hopefully it will be dry for fireworks.
-
Temp is up to 95 here right now. Don't think we'll hit 100 today ... probably 98. But I'm looking for 104 or 105 tomorrow and Friday.
-
12z Euro is very hot and gets us up around 105. Obviously the Euro was overdoing it a few days ago when it was showing 110, but I'll be surprised if we don't get up to 104 or 105.
-
90 here right now, so the long heat wave starts.
-
Thankfully it didn't stop us from having a cold/snowy winter.
-
It's funny that for days the models showed the heavier rain missing to the south.
-
Hard to imagine the actual temp hitting 110. Gotta believe the Euro is overdoing it a little bit. But 100 to 105 seems likely -- this is looking like one of our worst heat waves ever.
-
Continues to look like very little rain tomorrow. Maybe just a little light rain or a shower, with most likely less than a tenth of an inch.
-
The afternoon Euro and GFS runs took us to 100 next week. Hopefully overdoing it a little bit, but we'll see.
-
RGEM tonight has nothing too. I was hoping for rain because we really need it, but I know most people will be happy because it's a Saturday.
-
Not surprisingly the NAM models shifted south on the 18z run. Saturday is looking like very little rain.
