Rainfall last 24 hours here was .04".  Three day totals attached.

Focus now turns to mid and late week with possible PRE and remnants of Debby.

Not rooting for the possible excessive totals.  Would be bad if those 5-10" totals came to fruition.  Possible though so stay tuned.

Last 24 hours.

Picked up .42" last 24 hours.  Got lucky with heavy downpour last evening as last of the rain cleared my area.  Two day total = 1.50".

Interesting possibilities for rainfall this week.  Details to be determined but totals could be excessive to perhaps extreme depending on direct impacts (if any) from Debby.  Good signal for heavy totals even without direct impacts from possible PRE.   Worst case scenario would be a PRE than to have Debby track very near your location or a short distance east of you.  Tropical moisture in that scenario would get lifted over the "cooler and drier" air mass moving in from the west.  Worth watching for eventual possible track up this way and how it interacts with upper trof and associated surface front late week or maybe next weekend.  A ways to go.

Radar has been impressive to watch last several hours.  Numerous outflow boundaries on which new storms ignited.  Especially the one in CNJ.

Still insanely muggy out there.  Not sure how people in FL etc. deal with this for months with no break.  Just nasty.

Glad I picked up the 1.08" yesterday.  So far today not much at my location.  Less than .25" so far. 

I'm happy with that though.  Don't need any kind of flooding and everything got a good watering and there will be more to come in the week ahead.  All good!

Happy @winterwx21 got his as well !  He's been struggling lately.

Still lots of rolling thunder in the distance but except for some very brief heavy showers nothing to speak of here.  Less than .10" so far today.

Impressive signal on the EPS for rainfall.  Hopefully those excessive solutions around here shift in the days ahead.

The storm is winding down now.  Pretty wild.  No miss here today and the cell was severe warned. Some hail damage to our garden and flowers, and a lot of smaller branches and leaves scattered about from the hail and gusty winds.  Several close bolts of lightening, and 0.7" of rain, including 0.52" in about 7 minutes.

Hail was marble size.  That magenta colored hail core when right over us, and lasted about five minutes.  I would have taken a picture of the accumulation but it was too dangerous to run outside with all the lightening.  

Healthy looking plants there.  That basil or mint off to the left?

Unbelievable storm here.  Hail, wind, CTG lightening, will keep you updated.

Areas NW, N and NE of me are getting crushed per radar.  Just some distant thunder here and occasional big drop of rain.  Just on the edge of things.

WPC is very robust with totals next 7 days.  Don't see an outlook this this that often.  That is a widespread area of 5".  Details still TBD but some serious flooding from the SE U.S. up into the NE is on the table.  Totals on some guidance of GA and SC are off the charts.

Totals from last 24 hours.  Nothing excessive across the area and locations along and north of Rt. 80 did best.  The area along and just south of Rt. 78 didn't do great but more chances coming up later today, tonight and tomorrow.  Hang in there!

Did well yesterday in the rainfall department!  Received 1.08" last 24 hours.  Two downpours.  First around 1:00 and second around 5:00. I was not around for the first one but the one around 5:00 really unloaded over a 5 min period.  Steamy this morning.

Models are swinging like a chandelier in an earthquake.  With no defined center that is to be fully expected.

Land interaction over the next 2-3 days will be a big inhibitor.

Gets old.  Hate to wish away summer but I'm looking forward to some cooler weather come September

Same here but I get the feeling it will be more of the same.   An above normal and swampy month.  Most likely with above normal precipitation.

Not to say we don't get some crisp overnights as we get to later in the month. 

Picked up .08" last 24 hours.  Most of it from an evening T-shower that went just to my north.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled program.

Kind of like monthly temp departures--every month is +2 around here.

Yes.  At least 2 above and this is against our highest set of 30 year normals.  Just seems near impossible to get a month 2 below normal at this point.

.01" rainfall last 24 hours.

Let's continue to play kick the can.  Very dry and disappointing "wet stretch" especially considering the high DP pattern that has been in place for the last 3-4 weeks.  Some places haven done well but those places are a small percentage of this sub forum.  It has been dry.

Boy, northern VT just keeps getting slammed. Another 6.5" in just a few hours. The damage is just terrible with nearly everything shut down (again). 

Sure hope they don't get anything of tropical origin later in the season up that way.  Thankfully the excessive rains up there of late have been pretty localized but still.

Completely missed the rain again here today. Didn’t even get cloudy for very long 

Same here. 

Had Trace of rainfall here so far.  Hoping for something better as the week moves forward. 

Very pleasant out there this morning.  Overnight low of 60 with a light breeze and low DP's.  Don't get much better than this for late July!

Not even a tenth of an inch for the week here. Very frustrating. Big bust since the Monday night through Thursday period was advertised as a wet period, but we know that storms in the summer tend to be hit or miss. NWS went way overboard with the 60% to 70% chance. 

This was like 2 weeks ago when there was a forecasted wet period that busted, but the difference that time was my area ended up getting lucky and got hit by heavy rain in the days after the forecasted wet period when there was only a slight chance. This time there won't be any chance at all with dry air in place for several days starting on Friday. I'll be watering the vegetable garden a lot. 

Such a disappointing amount of rainfall this week.  Yup, will be watering here as well.  Going to be dry into mid next week.  My hopes are raised for a wetter period late next week into the following week.  A ways off though so we'll see.  Latest Drought Monitor shows the dryness across NJ.

What a waste of a soupy moisture laden air mass.  Have about .30" to show for it.  

 A whopping .26" overnight.  I'll take it but I sure would like more.  Not likely today and not so sure about tonight either.

Just trace of rainfall here today.  Skunked so far.  Some places did well but not widespread coverage.  Hoping for something decent over the next 2-3 days....at least an inch I hope.

For the first time this season lots of wildfire smoke showing up in central Canada and showing up at least on a minimal basis over parts of the U.S.  Very dense smoke over central Canada.  We'll see how much of this can "mix" into the pattern over the coming week.
