Picked up .92" so far today. BGM radar cover NWNJ pretty well. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=BGM-N0Q-1-48-100-usa-rad OKX radar cover the rest of the area https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=OKX-N0Q-1-48-100-usa-rad

Yeah, was just going to post that. I have to believe there are some going to be 3-5" totals in the area south of 78 and along and north of I195 from this "first round".
-
Snapshot of rainfall totals so far. Quite certain there are much higher totals in between these reporting sites. These drenching downpours are highly localized. I am also of the belief that anything truly severe is going to be south of a TTN to Sandy Hook line. I'm actually fairly confident on that and it could be a nasty go for some late this afternoon into the evening along and south of I195.
-
Lights flickering.....PLEASE NO. Not ready for another round of power outages. Not now and not later today. Just no.
-
Lots of thunder here and sky is dark. Per radar a drenching is about to take place.
-
Yeah. Main smoke plume is shifting southward today. Actually fairly clear up here in NWNJ right now with only some haze to the south and clear blue skies to the NW.
-
Dense smoke advisory for the Great Lakes. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
-
Do I remember correctly they were over 500 in 2023???? I honestly forget but it was bad back then. Couldn’t stay outside for any more than a few minutes.

GOES East updating. Will take a few hours for animations to populate.

Good map. Link below. You can click on the link then click circles to get the actual reading. There are readings in the 600- 800 range over MN/WI. https://fire.airnow.gov/#4.77/44.35/-79.59

Been using it. Better than nothing but not great. Sky is hazy here. Faint smoke smell to the air but nothing horrendous. Air quality is poor but still no smoke visible at the surface in my area. Out my way this still trails 2023 by a big margin. Still nasty though.
-
Agreed. Until I see smoke drifting through my neighborhood this is not close to 2023, so far.

Best wishes to NJ State Climatologist Dave Robinson on his retirement. His name has been a fixture in NJ weather and climate for as long as I can remember. https://www.njweather.org/articles/june-2026-recap-plus-first-half-2026-review

That is a nasty smoke plume shifting slowly south from New England. Visibilities not being affected significantly until you get into the Great Lakes area. Some reports there of 1-2 miles. At a minimum the skies will turn "dirty" looking again later today. Click to enlarge maps.
-
Much cleaner look to the sky up this way now. Mostly just some cirrus mixed with blue skies.
-
One more band of smoke to sink southeast across the area next few hours. That should be followed by somewhat clearer skies by late afternoon / evening from NW to SE.
-
WPC take on rainfall next 7 days. Most of this falls Saturday into early Sunday. Tweaks I'm sure over the next few days but potential for some locally heavier totals over parts of the sub forum.
-
Fingers crossed for you. Been there done that. It does suck.
-
Current satellite of smoke plume. Surprised more air quality alerts are not being issued, at least for Upstate NY and New England?
-
Will be hard to beat that smoke plume from June 2023. That was something else. I remember driving along Rt. 80 in my area and smoke was at ground level blowing across the road. Visibility was low and the air smelled of burning wood. If you didn't know better you would have thought it was from a local forest fire, not something from up in Canada.
-
This is old news by now but there was quite a bit of damage with those holiday weekend storms. No wonder it took so long to get the power back. Next hurricane of substance that blows through the tri-state is going to be a big problem. Some people around my part of NJ were without power for a week. Something that affects the entire area with 60-80 mph winds is going to be a nightmare in terms of power outages. Not a matter of if but when.
-
I've not noticed that around here but maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention. I know many supermarkets put them in around here. The food loss during Sandy was extreme. I remember seeing food being loaded into dumpsters in the supermarket parking lots. We were out for 7-10 days around here. While a Sandy like track into the Jersey coast has a very high return period it would not take much more than a Cat 1 or a low Cat 2 on a track up along or just off the coast to cause similar or worse power outages over a large area.
-
I had friends in Sandy with portable generators. Problem was they could not get gas. Driving around looking for it. Many gas stations had no power to pump. In addition is was 2-3 days before you could get out of your local area since so many trees were blocking roads. Natural gas only way to go if you can. I know some can't.
