Hail here in Garwood about 5 minutes ago. We sure could use this rain...

Weather models are just not as sexy as space exploration. Plus, if you achieve your goals in space, or landing on Mars, you can see your achievements. Even if you improve the GFS, there are still other reliable models, so the increase in forecasting accuracy overall probably wouldn't be noticeable. In the end, no real significant reward for the investment.

Dunno, humidity seemed to have dropped as the afternoon went on?
-
Extreme temperature forecast 7-10 days out seldom occurs. Usually, the extremes temper out...

I think I may actually be seeing a shadow here in Garwood NJ???
-
Not sure, but I think Iran is presently receiving unprecedented heat bursts...

So I guess a dry second half of Father's Day is out of the question?

Summer Solstice. My summer starts June first.

Back around 1980, I won the department's contest for first 1.0 " of snowfall, well, almost. I used historical data, finding a pattern like that December, and sure I enough, I hit the date. Everyone thought I had won, but the Professor measured it a few hours after the snow ended, so it had time to compact and melt, yielding just under an inch. So yeah, discrepancies galore...

I don't gamble, but I would love to see legalized weather betting...

Hazy!

I believe that occurs in exactly 10 days?

Temperatures have been average...

Seems like summer to me...

Sitting around outside with a fire is pretty nice, but in suburbia, its an annoyance to your neighbors...

I had assumed that the Canadian Smoke was a major contributor to the Air Quality index.
-
That's why I say to use the total historical data, not the previous 30 year average from 10 years ago?
-
Supposedly they are more energy efficient that AC, though is mainly only good at night, and if it is a "normal" summer's eve where the temperature actually drops below 80 degrees.

Probably was the "modern convenience" in late 1950s-60s before ACs took over?

I think this diagram answers my own question. It seems wildfires can contribute to ozone formation?
-
So according to the NWS air quality index, the health alert is for ozone. I recall that stagnant hot high pressure systems are conducive to the formation of surface level ozone, but I have also heard that others are attributing the air quality alert to the Canadian wild fires. On Tuesday, the smoke was at the higher altitudes. Wouldn't the smoke diffuse the sunlight to prevent excessive ozone formation in this case?

Union? No, Newark was always warmer...
