Not really quantifiable but these every few day line of heavy rains and storms seems odd….cant remember the last summer like this. 

I can't remember the last August I had to mow twice a week either.

Just returned from a week in the Adirondacks; this humidity feels oppressive! Going to need 24 hours to get re-adjusted. 

I've heard people recently talking about how it's finally not humid around here...wrong! It's less humid than it was but still dews above 60 with a few hours exception here and there in some places. Looking forward to legit consistent dews below 60...someday...

1.14" total, 4.45" for the month. More than enough to keep the mosquitoes thriving...

What in the hell kind of spider is this? It’s freaking massive. Too scared to get any closer for a pic. I’m afraid he will lunge at me. He was watching my every move as is 

How big is your ac unit  if that’s massive?

Apologies if it's just outside of this region, but some pretty impressive hail reports yesterday in Binghamton. Several reports up to 3".

 

Mark Tarello - WOW! Golfball to egg size hail from severe... | Facebook

No worries, thanks for sharing. That's impressive!

Tremendous thunder and lightning overnight, it's been quite the thunderstorm season. .49" getting me to 3.00" for the month. Not much wind here thankfully but I know the NWS is looking for any damage reports just east of me as radar indicated possible straight line winds. @hudsonvalley21, how did to make out?

I think some or many of these WU stations are not installed in favorable areas of a property to get accurate readings for some attached individual instruments . I would not buy one because the only favorable area on my property is on top of my roof - and my roof climbing days ended years ago. Used to have a station there for 20 plus years until Labor Day 1998 - the day the Tornado ripped it off my roof along with my Chimney.

Poor installation locations and who knows what the accuracy/quality of the station Is to begin with. Add to that the lack of maintenance on the stations and you get many questionable readings.

seems like the line is weakening west of us BUT the AFD mentioned this and said it will probably restrengthen - I think they are waiting to see it it does before issuing a Watch here

It can continue weakening as far as I'm concerned, I've had my fill of storms this summer, not that mother nature cares about how any of us feel. But yes, we will see if they start building again. 

Seems like a watch is coming soon: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1897.html

Friday and Saturday were as intense rain as I have ever seen.  Gravel driveway washed out yet again.

I've dealth with that before, what a pain in the ass.

12.52” per hour was my high rainfall rate…that explains the water that got into the basement yet again this summer…

Wow the lightning and thunder was intense with the cell that just abused us here. It only dropped .4 but it was all at once. Our dog is traumatized

Yeah, it was a loud one.

Thank god it didn’t take out the line or the roof.  I’m on the south side of the cell. Not much wind, a lot of thunder with the CTG lightning. Good moderate rain currently.

There wasn’t a lot of wind in general except for two brief periods when I was under the worst of it. The gust was to 25 mph, which is decent for here with all the trees, .71” thru the tipper.

Thank you very much for letting me know. Which thread did he post in?

The August one in here I believe, about the heat. 

That storm got intense for a bit, a big branch fell just missing the power line to the house.

I recall you posting the above. I hope Libertybell is doing well but I am concerned.

Rrfs does have some storms around 8pm but fairly isolated

Did you happen to also notice that the Colorado State model did a decent job zeroing in on northern NJ for the storms yesterday?

Actually, it is the complete opposite. I’m going full metfan, I left the railing off so I could push the snow off the deck easily. 

I realize that you are joking but, you could make it a moveable section for that purpose.

Why the fuck do assholes in a goddamn Prius coming head on need to cross the yellow lines to make a right hand turn?!!!

It's incredible how many idiots do that like they are hauling a big load on a tractor trailer. Idiots.

I don’t really have any other options with the trees and hills. It’s fairly accurate even in the sun except possibly earlier in summer  

To be fair, I had that issue when I had a Vantage Vue years ago even though it was out in the yard. That said, it's kind of hard to believe that the deck/house doesn't impact your temps. You mentioned its accurate in the sun, how much sun do you get on the deck back there? 

Yeah, two full days and change into August, why not kick it off with an inch of rain...fortunately I'm north and west of the heaviest downpours.
