I believe Heat Index readings soared to 120 to near 130 across parts of the Illinois / Wisconsin area. Heat index values around here were near 115 for a time if I remember correctly. Might be off by a little high or low but it was just stiflingly hot. Just don't remember anything like that since, although we probably came close on occasion I guess.
-
.45" here. Better than nothing but after a week of waiting and with near record PW I am disappointed.
-
A more concentrated area of rainfall is ongoing over Southern VA and Eastern NC. It is moving north. Maybe that is what NWS/WPC is thinking with Flood Watches and Excessive outlook. Radar looks unimpressive for most over the next several hours except SE NJ which has been soaked already today.
-
I'm starting to brace myself for under 1". Will see what radar looks like this evening and go from there but trend has been for along I-95 and south and east of there.

Water vapor loop shows nice south to north transport of tropical moisture. Pretty rare to see flow almost straight south to north. Most places should get some needed rains but some places will get drenched with training. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_US/loop180w.html

Latest from WPC. Impressive overall pattern. Some spots could see 3"+ amounts.
-
Received .07" rainfall last night with fizzling T-storms. Pretty pleasant this morning with lower DP's and a gusty breeze.
-
Sussex County of all places. Just goes to show how impressive the high DP's have been.
-
So close and yet so far. Just missed a nice shower to my south last evening. Still optimistic for some decent totals before the end of the week.
-
Looks aimed at your area. Hope you can get enough rainfall to make it worthwhile and not just add to the humidity for no good reason.

Warm first 6 months of 2024. https://www.njweather.org/content/scorching-june-2024-and-january–june-recaps Gotta wonder when our next below normal month will be. Sure does not look like July or August!

Beryl remnants were never going to give us much of anything.
-
Going to be some tough days ahead in the power outage areas for those that do not have generators. Heat and humidity will return and from the scope of the outages some places could be without power for a week, hopefully not longer than that in spots. Can't imagine living in those conditions without a/c. -
Yep, pushes too far west and we will be left on the drier side. Latest WPC still rather wet from city west into NJ. Central L.I. on eastward not so much. Will need another day or two to see how this plays out. Seems overall though the guidance has been trending to push the wettest area to the left. Not rooting for flooding rains but I'd just like an inch or so between now and Friday night to keep things watered. I should be able to get it out this way.
-
Latest from WPC. Much will depend on where the western extent of the offshore ridge sets up. Too far west and we're much drier area wide. I am riding local 5" amounts over parts of NJ at this time. L.I. has best chances of seeing only light amounts.
-
Too much of a good thing. Doubt totals that heavy will be that widespread but certainly could see some local totals of 5-7" over the next 7 days. I'd be happy with an inch over the next week!
-
With that logic every day that passes gets us one day closer to dead. Live for the day dude, tomorrow could be just a rumor.
-
Pattern for the upcoming week looks to support a ribbon of high dewpoint air moving from Texas to the Lakes with Beryl remnants along with some locally heavy rainfall. Another swath of high dewpoint air along the east coast around very anomalous Bermuda high. That also could yield locally heavy rainfall. In between the two a relative "drier" swath over the Ohio Valley. Going to be soupy times ahead along the east coast for sure.
-
Some torrential downpours at times last night and early this morning. The one this morning had loud thunder and some bright lightning flashes. Rain was torrential but was short lived. Two day total so far = .75". Just enough but not too much. Perfect! Level 10 on the swampy scale out there this morning.
-
Dryloc worked great for some small seepage areas in my last house. I did first use dryloc cement on the block around and over where the water was coming in. Then used the paint over that. I did really press the cement into the block and gave it like 3 applications. Let it dry well then use paint. Worked well, never had seepage again. Worth a try before you start digging outside.
-
Off topic for this sub forum but all time high temperature in RDU today of 106, beating the old record of 105. Heat index readings ranged from between 110-118 at mid-day. Localized very intense heat in the Piedmont of NC today.
-
Was so nasty humid / muggy out today. Should have been a Swamp Ass Advisory in effect.
-
Just .14" last night. Swampy out this morning.
-
Happy 4th. to all. Weather not perfect but it would be much worse.
-
That ridge - trof - ridge positioning would be interesting (if that pattern persists) as we head into August and September as far as tropical threats for the east coast. Just speculation so we'll see how it goes.
