Vaccines are working fine. Something like 98% of hospitalizations are un vaxxed people-that tells you all you need to know....

Yeah I'm a bit surprised too-most hospital systems will not be overwhelmed at this point given the amt of people (half the country on average) have a vaxx that prevents serious illness. We need to stop worrying about daily case counts at this point....

No one is really listening at this point...

True, however I would expect most Northeastern states to follow Fauci's guidance. (which is actually backward-it should be the southern states with low vax rates that need masking not us)

it's coming to private industy-only a matter of time unless the virus completely dies out

Well stated

True-time to move on with life

that's unknown at this juncture whether boosters are needed....

yeah Fox News is starting to fold up shop on the Anti Vaxx position they've held....

Not happening....

might be a "Christmas in July" promotion?

Lots of letters and cold calls to sell our house. One of my neighbors (who was thinking of retirement anyway) took them up on it and is moving to Lake Sunapee NH where it's not as crazed as here.

Great day out there-turned off the AC for the first time in a couple of weeks

couple new cells firing over NYC and Stamford, CT....

had a quick downpour here-about 10 minutes and got about .35. Sun coming back out now....

a broken line north of me-some rumbles of thunder here...

some big storms in S NJ-they always do well down there....

seems like alot of disjointed things that aren't lining up-first trough well south, then another one over PA and then the front behind that-doesn't seem to be lining up...

upton: Not too enthused.... - Severe tstm watch 385 issued for the entire area til 00Z. That said, signals are mixed re severe wx potential especially across the lower Hudson Valley and srn CT. One sfc trough has drifted well to the south, with a more subtle pre-frontal trough extending back into north central PA and accompanied by widely sct convection, while the sfc cold front lags even farther behind across upstate NY and western PA. A BL theta-E ridge extends from southern NJ up into SE New England, and with further daytime heating could expand westward into SE CT and eastern Long Island this afternoon. Convection with a leading short line segment over northern NJ so far has not been very robust with reports of small hail at most so far, but things may change going into this afternoon. Latest HiResW guidance suggests tstms will become focused along the pre-frontal trough to the west and move across the NYC metro area and Long Island this afternoon, while the latest HRRR also forecasts tstms developing to the SW to graze NYC and Long Island. Given drier air and lack of focusing mechanism other than sea breezes, have questions how much activity the lower Hudson Valley and srn CT will see. Strong convection may be confined to eastern Long Island and perhaps SE CT after 6 PM, with a few trailing showers/tstms possible all the way back to NYC. As N-NW flw ensues this evening, any remaining activity should end after sunset, with dew point readings getting down in the more comfortable upper 50s toward daybreak on Thursday, with low temps from the upper 50s well north/west to the 60s elsewhere.

Wagons south on this one IMO. Most modeling shows south of NYC to be in the zone....

Front is fast moving-Upton AFD says we're done by late afternoon-to me that says the timing is off today

models showing the best stuff south of the city-NYC and north don't get much....

yeah was thinking the same thing Upton had 88 here-but we're currently at 82

yep give or take 8/20 to about 10/10 for us to get something historically

you have rain/drizzle? Nothing here-just mainly cloudy with a couple breaks of sun here/there 76. Looks like the disturbance is beginning to move out so should see increasing sun especially the further west one is.
