I think it's from the buildup of a static charge in storm clouds?
-
The models yes, but some sniffed it out. Unfortunately, most did not have it in their official forecasts. The NWS did highly consider it as a possibility in their discussion. For most of us, it's just a "busted" forecast, but for those who ventured out into local waterways, it was another story.

If there was meteorological gambling, I would put $100 on EWR to hit 90 today...

Rats, yes, geese, this was their habitat...

and yet in the "suburbs", they continue to fill in the spaces between the spaces...

Fertilizer can definitely increase the growth of algae, which some bloom has already shut down Spruce Run in western Jersey from swimming for the year. Happens to that lake more so than others?

What does hazardous chemicals have to do with elevated bacteria levels, unless the "hazardous" chemicals are a food source for the bacteria, but I would be surprised if that growth would happen naturally. More likely a washout from a wastewater treatment plant from a sudden storm or just from leaching out of local septic tanks and leach fields.

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...
