  1. Some rumbles and funky sky with the setting sun, but it looks like almost zilch on the rain, just a few drops. The cells split me, one to the north and one to the south.
  2. Overcast, but muggy. Thinking if cloudy conditions persist, that will reduce the chances of severe this afternoon.
  3. just evaporates north of Atlantic City/Philly.
  4. The slopes of these graphs are astounding. Close to a 2 degree increase per decade.
  5. We're already there, they've been here, upper 70s, low 80s dews have been quite common this summer.
  6. Several stations in NJ are reaching 80+ dewpoints, with HIs already topping 105.
  7. Honest Question: Does any reputable source track average dewpoints over time? It would be interesting to see if there is a correlation toward higher dewpoints and recent changes to our climate.
  8. 0.65" overnight - brief but torrential rains with thunder and lightening.
  9. Surprised there was no Heat Advisory today, unless I missed it. Dewpoints of 80+ can be found on a few stations, with Heat Indexes reaching 105-110. Felt just lovely.
  10. A several stations, particularly in Southern, NJ, have reached 80-81 dewpoints this afternoon. Make sense given all that rain they had this morning, combining saturated ground with very humid air. Yuck!
  11. 0.77" total so far. It keeps backfilling, prolonging it some. Also looks like a bow could be starting again, last frame or two.
  12. Quarter inch of rain in 4 minutes.
  13. Getting in on it now. Absolute deluge, with thunder and lightening, but no wind yet.
  14. I'm under a warning now. Cell looks nasty, maybe bowed out a bit too. Time to move the truck again. We'll see what happens.
  15. It's interesting watching again the storms go about 20-25 miles off to my north along the Sussex/Orange County border. It's not that we don't get anything (think Thursday), but this seems to be the case 7 or 8 times out of 10. You can almost pick Montague/Port Jervis/Warwick, as the start of the line and from there on north and east, and you'd be right 80% of the time.
  16. Looks like things weakened. Just some light to moderate rain. Looks like that's over shortly.
  17. I was down in Ledgewood and Randolph today. Once I hit about the southern part of Stanhope, and then into Mount Olive, I noticed tree debris increase substantially and that continued down Route 10 for a ways. The trip back took me along Lower Berkshire Valley - noticed several large limbs down and crews were still out working in spots this afternoon. Nothing to that degree up this way, so whatever it was really got cranking down in that area.
  18. Ouch. Not quite that bad up where I am in Sparta, but still very gusty which knocked down a few smaller branches. Power was out for about 30 seconds. It was enough though for me to jump in the truck and quick move it down the block away from the bigger trees, and pray I didn't get pegged in the process. I've been after them for years here about tree trimming because, eventually, my luck will run out.
  19. Love the 82 degree dew point, which might be accurate for that particular moment. My station was showing 79 earlier. Oppressive.
  20. I can see the lightening off to my NW. All afternoon I've been watching the storms skip off to the north over High Point and Wantage - looks like I'll get something from these, although not as impressive as up north from earlier.
  21. They've been getting hammered pretty good the past couple of afternoons up in NE and upper NY state.
  22. Got a brief heavy shower this afternoon. Now it's gotten oppressively humid. Dewpoint hit 74 here.
  23. Some low 40s out in West Jersey this morning. I'll resist kicking the heat back on for now.
  24. Shoot that kinda trends my way here on campus projecting out the movement. I can hear some thunder again outside.
  25. Our principal just e-mailed to staff "many roads blocked with trees and power lines". We had to hold attendance for late arrivals. So I guess it's a little more widespread out here.
