Reached 84 yesterday. Up to 74 from 47 this morning.

Nice thunderstorm around 3:30 AM. Serious wind gusts too. Island Beach State Park peak gust of 64 MPH.

Balmy 68 here. Dew point up to 63. Getting breezy.

Bummer for yesterday. I had a family friend offer me a place to stay at their property in Maine, but luck would have it that I developed a sinus infection coupled with bronchitis on Sunday. The medication makes me feel drowsy, so there was no way I was going to drive nine hours by myself. To add insult to injury, cloud cover spoiled the chance to see the crescent sun here at home. I'll have to wait another 21 years to watch it with my family in Florida—provided it's not submerged by then. On a positive note, today is looking gorgeous. Widespread 70s, somewhere inland will hit 80. afternoon sea breeze could dampen the enjoyment at the beaches, but I'm planning to soak up some much-needed vitamin D.

The walls were shaking, the Earth was quaking, and our minds are aching.

Just Chris Christie falling down the stairs. No need to panic

Peaked at 48 mph overnight at the shore. Definitely felt worse than that. Dime-size hail with the severe-warned storm around 6 PM.

Right on cue. KDIX lately always happens to be down whenever it really is needed.

6 years ago today, had 15" on the ground.

This is also worth monitoring. The somewhat positive aspect is that the winds are expected to be most powerful immediately following the frontal passage overnight on Wednesday/Thursday. It will remain pretty at daybreak, but the wind should diminish somewhat by the afternoon when the relative humidity begins to decrease significantly."

Starting off at 37 this morning. Forecast here is 72. 2 miles to my east, 52. Sea breeze doing sea breeze things.

They can't even get the cloud cover right for the current day sometimes. Could be forecast with 99% sun and all it takes is one cloud to completely ruin the experience. Planning on hitting the northern ADKs that Sunday, camping over, then hiking up Lyon Mountain

Winds decoupled last night, and managed to drop down to 34 degrees. Gonna make a run for the mid-60s today, maybe a little cooler along the shore, but WNW flow should prevent the marine layer from blowing in

Peak gust nearby to me was 55 mph at Island Beach State Park around 11:15 AM. Gusting in the mid 40s now
