    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?

    Forgot all about the air show until i saw a thunderbird over the hudson lol

    I knew all about it since it’s local, on Thursday I was driving home and saw one of the jets in the distance and thought: cool, the weather is finally decent enough for them to practice. Then a favorite song came on the radio and I started cranking it, windows down, lost in the song if you will and as I got to the bottom of the hill here in the park they buzzed the park completely drowning out my blasting music and quite honestly startled the shit out of me. If I had a cup of coffee I would've spilled some on my shirt and I would've wanted some butts! (Top Gun reference).

    This is easily the greenest my front lawn has been in years. It's usually burnt out by the end of july and i can usually go weeks without mowing. 

    Agreed, no lazy days of summer break from mowing this year, especially with what looks like another wet week coming up. At least today is decent for the NY Air Show here but tomorrow is iffy.

    I'm hoping it misses here-the big totals-still alot of cleanup ongoing after last week's flooding/damage

    Hoping for a miss here as well, close to 10" here for July at this point.

    That cell that moved thru was a gully washer by you around 9:30. I just got clipped by it. Total of 1.48 in the Davis for yesterday here.

    edit: rain shower currently and a few more out there for today.

    Another water (not too much) into the basement storm too.

    Mosquito eruption incoming?

    That already happened up here, its right up there with the worst I've ever seen. Yesterday will only prolong that misery.

    Don't have any information on rainfall rates here.  My period of record here is just about 9 years.  Will have to go back and look to see what my wettest month was.  Good question.

    My records go back to 2005.

    Total for yesterday 3.10".  Two rounds.   Early morning 1.72" in about 45 minutes.  Second round with tornado warned storm early afternoon dropped 1.37" in about 15 minutes.  Finished with .01" during the evening in a quick moving light shower.

    I'm good with rain for a while.  Need some time for the ground to dry out.  No need to water here anytime soon. Everything is as green as it could possibly be.

    @bluewave posted above the next big ridge looks to be centered more west over the western plains or Rockies.  Watch for weak downstream trof over the east.  Depending on placement that could signal another round of wet weather.  A trof axis over the Ohio Valley or along the Appalachians would make for a wetter go around here.

    Do you happen to have any rainfall rate information from your station? I'm at 9.74" for the month making it the second wettest July for me, only topped by 2023 with 13.95". My average is 4.85". Interesting to note that I had .08" more in the Stratus than in the Davis which had to be due to splash out from the Davis in the 12.52" per hour rate for five minutes followed by a 11.76" rate for five minutes around 9:30pm last night.

    We're getting a last hurray for the day, we could put me over 9" for the month. 

    1.79" for the day with 9.74" for the month.

    1.5 in the last 30 mins. Impressive

    I'm sure it's been said already but today's feeling a bit autumnal. Can you break summer's back before Aug?

    I saw someone on the NE side mention “shot across the bow” and I chuckled. A beauty of a day for sure.

    Yesterday didn’t really bust. The greatest threat for severe weather was off to the West, in which there were a quite a few reports, including at least one tornado. Threat was always lower here and worth watching. 

    I saw a video from around Deposit, NY of damage from that tornado. I’ll be curious what the rating will be on it.

  14. It was a good call postponing Freedom Fest until Saturday 7/25. Nothing severe here thankfully, a .36” total, 7.95” for the month, and heavy heavy mosquitoes thanks to the deluge from a couple weeks ago. @crossbowftw3I saw the Tornado Warnings yesterday and saw footage of the damage around Deposit, hope you made out ok.
