  1. https://www.nytimes.com/1999/08/06/nyregion/ground-fires-scorch-acres-of-the-hudson-highlands.html Mt Beacon burned bad in 1993, somewhere I have VHS footage of it from the Newburgh waterfront.
  2. You can still see the scars on Storm King from the last big one in the mid to late 90’s as I recall.
  3. Oh no, here we go. A big one? Edit: just saw the post, multiple fires.
  4. My longest streak of 90 or higher for the high temp is eight, set in 2013. Yesterday marked day six, will I tie that streak of eight tomorrow afternoon? Thankfully there is relief in sight this week regardless.
  5. .20 today, maybe the stuff to the west holds together to add a bit more to the days total.
  6. Low of 73 at 12:18am…that’s just plain stupid in these parts. 82/76 currently, which is just as stupid.
  7. I was looking at the archived Drought Monitor maps for this time of year, which go back to 2000. The first week in August of 2016 looked very similar to the current map but my records indicate that I wasn’t running a deficient in rainfall like this year. Think I lucked out with a couple storms back then, much like some have this summer.
  8. Last mowing was 7/4 here, no idea when it’ll be needed again, certainly not this week.
  9. .14 earlier. So I lied, I’m not completely dry, apparently I’m heading to be the jackpot zone….aside from @snywx of course.
  10. You look to have a better chance of rain but we all know it’s impossible to pinpoint summer convection. Low of 71 here, that’s how you know it’s hot, I almost always manage to get into the 60s.
  11. I’m betting I’m getting shut out from any rain this weekend. The models have been getting drier all week.
  12. .16" Just enough to keep the dust down on the driveway for a day or so. 1.15" total for July, just beating out the 1.22" in July 2015 for my driest July here.
  13. And for those that still don’t understand what you are referring to: “NCEI generates the official U.S. normals every 10 years in keeping with the needs of our user community and the requirements of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and National Weather Service (NWS). The 1991–2020 U.S. Climate Normals are the latest in a series of decadal normals first produced in the 1950s.” https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals
  14. Well…we can lock it up only if Bx starts wearing his jammies inside out.
  15. I glanced at a few river gauges out there this morning, straight up as we we expect with those kind of rain rates.
  16. Wow! Thanks for sharing, I hadn't been paying attention.
  17. Yeah, the .20" I've picked up is essentially useless.
  18. Good to see you over here. I've watered the lawn in the past years when it started to brown out but haven't done it at all this season, mainly because I don't have any big party's coming up, no point in starting now!
  19. 1.70" here since the last decent rain on 6/9 which was 1.24".
