  1. Same here. I saw thousands of them last year but none this year. Strange how they just disappeared from our area. I don't know if the extremely dry weather we had in May had something to do with that.
  2. Beautiful outside right now with the WNW wind and dewpoints down to the low 60s.
  3. Yeah the Mosquitos have been extra bad this year.
  4. I love summer but like having variety. I want some periods of heat/humidity to increase the chance of storms, but it's also nice to have some days with temps in the low 80s with low humidity. This summer has been nice since the dry period ended in late June. We've had plenty of storms but also some very nice airmasses with low humidity mixed in.
  5. Looks like low humidity coming in at the end of the week too.
  6. I had stronger wind from the storm we got on July 25th, but yeah this was the best lightning show in a few years. Downright spectacular. It was worth it losing sleep.
  7. Nice storm keeping me awake at 2 in the morning. Lots of close lightning strikes.
  8. Sourland Mountain, nice! I was in Shoprite when a heavy downpour happened. Got home and saw that it was dry. Missed my house by just a couple miles to the southeast.
  9. All seasons have some good things to offer, but I think winter and summer are most interesting for weather enthusiasts.
  10. Summer and winter are my favorite seasons. I hate to see summer come to an end. Fall is boring.
  11. And not only no heat coming, but we're going to continue to see nice airmasses with low humidity at times. After some rain monday night into tuesday, another low humidity airmass comes in mid next week. In the longer range it appears another one will come in next weekend.
  12. 12z HRRR has a nice line of storms for late in the day.
  13. Had a couple brief heavy downpours here with that last batch. It's over now and I ended up with a total of 0.82". Nice soaking.
  14. Picked up to heavy for awhile, but now it's tapering off. 0.47" here so far. My vegetable garden is happy. Looks as if the steady rain is about over, but still some scattered activity to the west so we might add some more to the totals.
  15. 0.26 here so far. It tapered down to light rain, but heavier rain in Somerset and Mercer Counties is about to move in. That should get us close to a half inch.
  16. A nice moderate rain here right now. Decent batch of rain moving in. I agree with you that we should get about a half inch out of this.
  17. Doesn't look like the big event that yesterday's 12z models showed, but at least RGEM looks decent as you said. Latest HRRR run has heavy rain going across central NJ with our area being on the edge of it. Tough call for this afternoon. I'll be happy if we get a solid half inch like RGEM shows.
  18. Just looked at all the models after being out since mid afternoon, and wow what a difference from what the 12z models were showing. I see RGEM cut way back too. Hopefully we can at least get a halfway decent soaking if we miss the big amounts, but even that is in question now.
  19. What a day today. Nice and warm at 87 degrees here, but very comfortable with the dewpoint at 57. A perfect Summer day. A nice soaking tomorrow, and then another perfect Summer day on Friday.
  20. A couple beautiful days coming up this week (Wednesday and Friday) where dewpoints drop to the high 50s, as we continue this pattern of numerous low humidity days that we've had since the end of July. In between we get a higher humidity day on Thursday with some rain.
  21. It did and is causing a rain delay at Citi Field, but even at that it was just some moderate rain. The evening part of this event ended up being a bust for most of the area, but we saw that coming. I don't get very excited about a severe threat when it's progged to hit this late at night.
  22. Just some light rain and breezy as what was left of the line moved in.
  23. Yep hardly anything left of the line for our area. It just went poof as we expected.
  24. Yep looks as if it's falling apart as it's getting close to our area, just like the HRRR showed. Probably just gonna get some rain.
  25. What we've seen is a warming climate doesn't necessarily mean we'll get less snow. In the last 15 years we've had a lot of average to well above average snowfall winters. You do have to wonder though if we can keep pulling that off. As the climate continues to warm, it certainly wouldn't be surprising if way below average snowfall winters (like last winter and 19-20) start to happen much more frequently. I also agree with you about this coming winter (not looking good), but long range is hard to predict so I wouldn't give up hope.
