It was a beautiful day up here.  Some smoke A fair amount of smoke looking out at the distant ridges.  We are starting to dry out the surface.   This past week has been dry other than about .10" on the 1rst.

We did have a 5 minute sprinkle earlier today.  I notice some drops covering about 1/3 of the deck surface at the height.  Does that count as a T for the day?

Enjoy your soak down in SNE.

No. But it’s been a good stretch for the fruit trees with rain every few days…just wanna keep the streak going.

Brian,  my fruit trees are doing good.  Apples, peaches, Concord Grapes and 2 of my Chestnut trees have Male catkins. Wheather they are close enough to cross pollinate remains to be seen but I could possibly have some Chestnuts to share come fall!  Happy 4th to all!

It's 12:45pm.  My brother is a doctor in DC.  He and his family are at the 250th July 4th event.  The police are shutting the whole thing down right now until 5pm.  Although there are a huge amounts of people the medical tents can not keep up with the heat victims.

We are actually ahead of yesterday by 2-5 degrees from what I'm seeing/estimating using this NWS product (it's out of the GRR office but I like it)

It's a drag and drift over product. Click on the image, hold and pull and it slides around all over the god's creation.  

 

 

Thanks for this page.  Is this hourly obs or if it is refreshed is it also ASOS stations that upload near real time?

I see a diaster in the makings.  Not political this would happen no matter what administration but.... 3pm Euro temp's on July 4th in DC.  Severe thunderstorm potential too.  For security no umbrellas allowed on the National Mall.  No shade.  No shelter. No place to run for severe weather.  What could go wrong?

We have a standing seam newer metal roof.  The panels are clamped on the standing seams.  2 years, no problems.  Just panels east/west on the barn.  Today I'm running 3 window ACs and charging my 4 year old Mustang Mache and the system is generating more power than I can use.  I'm sending the extra back to the grid and getting paid for that about $3 so far today.  Other people might have problems but going with my electric car and roof has been a huge W for us.  (Picture taken around 3:30pm).  Golden Retriever approved!

4pm 92/74F

91/75  We had about .35" of rain last night.  I have a question.  I'm looking at the vis sat picture.  Why does the Cu field basically stop around the Hudson River?  Winds are light so it's not a SW cooler flow over us.  The complex coming into NNE just died right out.  No real difference in airmass?  Just curious?

if only all those people didn't install solar panels, we'd might get some  brown-outs

I know.  Those pesky solar panels.  Our system went online exactly 2 years ago.  We just put them on our east/west barn roof not our south facing house roof as I didn't like the esthetics.  With a few more hours to go this June it produced 1.1 MWh.  at our current electric providers rate of .21kWh that has saved us about $235 this month.  It paid all our electric bill and kept my electric Mustang Mache charged as I only charge on sunny days. Currently we also have a $140 credit from May.  It will be nice to run our 3 window AC units full blast the next 5 days although we don't have battery storage so we do have to pay for electric at night.  The nice thing is during the days we sell excess power back to the grid.  That helps the grid on peak usage days.  Bring on the heat!!

Speaking of 1975.  I was 19 years old and a weather nerd.  I vaguly remember that.  I think it was on a NW flow with very low dews?  Also what was the date that was the old weather forum meeting at BWI?  That was one of the hottest BWI days but with very high dews.

another quake video from the other day

https://x.com/Breaking911/status/2071626498885206234

I think this is the most amazing earthquake video i have ever seen.  Seems legit.  I have never seen people being literally thrown to the ground.

I have been looking at the GFS and Euro on Weatherbell.  The maximum 6 hour temperatures for later this week.  Lots of 100 to 105F in the major cities. Ouch, a 108F in DC. I think this is the day of maximum heat but Boston cools down with a seabreeze.  Also of note but I didn't post is the crazy minimums in some of the major cities.  It's going to be tough to get down below 80F in places like NYC to DCA.

Euro clown map for max temp on Friday.  I see some 105 to even a 108 in NJ.  Sorry,  I have been a bit missing in action...  Life stuff...

The line of thunderstorms moved through the Newfound Lake area of NH was not big deal. The storm was of very short duration.  My peak wind gust on my 10M anemometer was 30mph.  Very briefly I had a rain rate of 7.25".  Total rainfall with the thunderstorm was .23".    We got .40" in rain earier today....

This is a timelapse looking SW as the storm passed.  A few claps of thunder.  Also if you slow down my video you can really see how the wind creates small vortices when it comes around terrain.  Looks like a brief spin up as it moves across the field but it is not!

We have had 2" of rain over the last couple of days.  Really helping things stay green.  I'm starting to get interested about Sunday. Im actually more interested in what could happen in DCA.  Extreme heat and humidity with the potential of severe thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.  A huge outdoor event with not too much weather planning it seems.  I'm glad I don't work for the National Weather Service at BWI.  Some heads could roll if they don't get it just right.  I know this borders on politics but a very interesting setup for many people that day, weatherwise...

8pm  73/47F  Sunshine.  Visibility is good but there seems to be some mid level smoke coming from somewhere?

There’s nothing up here. Perfectly blue skies besides some Ci. MWN has been 80-90sm vis all day too. 

Yeah,  surface vis is excellant.  I can see Sunapee clearly which is 30 miles. There does seems to be a very thin layer of cirrus or something.  The Alto Cu is a bit hazy.  Hey Brian.  How many years ago did we buy those American Chestnut seedlings?  My trees are probably near 15 feet tall.

37.5F Catpaws.  It is snowing at the base of Ragged Mtn per webcam.  We got a ton of rain.  I have not emptied the stratus yet but Vantage Pro says 2.66" and that is going to be low.

32.4F  -SN  Has begun on MWN.  Big flakage.  What will be their total?  Fun to watch!

I believe this is the morning of May 27 2013.  We had 3 hours of thundersnow and I measured 3.1" at my house at 1100 feet.  The top of my hill had 4".   This is the latest snow I have ever seen here.   Maybe if the rates are really good and it comes late at night we could see something happen.  It will be interesting...

38.9F  Light rain mixing with sleet over the past 5 minutes

40.6F  RN  temperature is just starting to fall.  

30.3F SN

39.5F Dreary.  About .60" rain earlier.  Temperature has been slowly falling all morning.

27.5F  Light to moderate snow.  Good snow growth.  Most of the precip in the last hour has been a mix of sleet and with some snow.  It has switched now to all snow.  Vis about 3/4"

27.2F  light snow grains, sleet.  Precip has been going back and forth.  Some heavier sleet showers 30 minutes ago.  At the moment light snow but my vis to the south is over 8 miles so I'm right on the line it seems
