    I was amazed that meteors can cause a loud rumble.  I was outside when the meteor passed overhead.  I originally thought it was some type of military maneuver...

    "Additionally, the agency notes that on Tuesday morning, at the time of the fireball sighting, there were reports of "military activity in the vicinity," saying that "would explain the multiple shakings and sounds reported to the media."

    The loud noise and apparent shaking were reported from southern New Jersey to parts of Queens and Brooklyn, according to NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM)."

    It looks like the pattern will begin to weaken the drought over the Southeast. So maybe the next warm up after this relaxation of major heat will be slightly less intense. We’ll see if wetter conditions over the source region for this recent heatwave can make a difference.

    GFS more prominent in building the Atlantic ridge in 7/24 - 26 with 500 MB height >594DM.  That should setup some stronger humidity  / heat potential.  Looks overall warm-hot and humid with more frequent rain chances.  Some of that heat building in the southwest may come east in spurts beyond the end of next week / 29th.

    79 / 72 clouds left over from overnight storms, slowly clearing. Should continue to the heat for most places before the front comes through later today (front to CPA) so about 4 - 6 hours of sunshine / heating.  Some lingering storms Thu (eastern/coastal areas) otherwise a break in the heat lasting through Sat (7/20).    Strong heat limited but upper 80s / near to low 90s from Sun (7/21) as the Atltantic ridge keeps the EC in the ridge.  Perhaps some stronger heat the MW trough lifts out later next week and weekend.

     

    7/17 : Hot /humid (evening storms front)
    7/18 - 7/20 : break in heat . humiditity
    7/21 - beyond : Overall warm to humid - more frequent storm chances with southerly tropical flow by the 24th

    Would be the first time since 2013 if the thunderstorms later don’t drop the daily low below that before midnight.

    Historical:

     

    1920 - A severe hailstorm over parts of Antelope and Boone counties in Nebraska stripped trees of bark and foliage, ruined roofs, and broke nearly every window facing north. (The Weather Channel)

    1946 - The temperature at Medford, OR, soared to an all-time high of 115 degrees to begin a two week heat wave. During that Oregon heat wave the mercury hit 100 degrees at Sexton Summit for the only time in forty years of records. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

    1975 - An early afternoon thunderstorm raked the east side of Tucson, AZ, with gale force winds, heavy rain, and numerous lightning strikes. A thirteen year old boy was swept through a forty foot long culvert by raging waters before being rescued. (The Weather Channel)

     

    1979: The most damaging tornado in Wyoming history touched down 3 miles west-northwest of the Cheyenne airport. This strong tornado moved east or east-southeast across the northern part of Cheyenne, causing $22 million in damage and one fatality. 140 houses and 17 trailers were destroyed. 325 other homes were damaged.  Four C-130 aircraft and National Guard equipment sustained $12 million damage. Municipal hangars and buildings suffered $10 million in losses.

    1987 - Showers and thundestorms in the southwestern U.S. ended a record string of thirty-nine consecutive days of 100 degree heat at Tucson, AZ. A thunderstorm at Bullhead City, AZ, produced wind gusts to 70 mph reducing the visibility to near zero in blowing dust. Southerly winds gusting to 40 mph pushed temperature readings above 100 degrees in the Northern Plains. Rapid City, SD, reported a record high of 106 degrees, following a record low of 39 degrees just three days earlier. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

    1988 - Thirty-seven cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Highs of 96 degrees at Bluefield, WV, and 104 degrees at Charleston WV were all-time records, and afternoon highs of 98 degrees at Binghamton, NY, 99 degrees at Elkins, WV, and 103 degrees at Pittsburgh PA, tied all- time records. Highs of 104 degrees at Baltimore, MD, and 105 degrees at Parkersburg WV were records for July, and Beckley, WV, equalled their record for July with a high of 94 degrees. Martinsburg, WV, was the hot spot in the nation with a reading of 107 degrees. Afternoon and evening thunderstorms raked the northeastern U.S. with large hail and damaging winds. (The National Weather Summary)

    1989 - Showers and thunderstorms developing along a stationary front drenched the Middle Atlantic Coast States with heavy rain, causing flooding in some areas. More than five inches of rain was reported near Madison and Ferncliff, VA. Hot weather prevailed in Texas. San Angelo reported a record high of 106 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)

    The stronger sea breezes this summer have been keeping the ocean cooler than recent years. The upper 60s to lows 70s is refreshingly cool compared to recent summers. We can remember the numerous days with SSTs near 80° at the bouys from 2018 to 2022.

    Was in the 50s some days around the fourth of July week / weekend and last week around NJ beaches with the constant southerly flow causing persistent upwelling as the surface waters are pushed out offshore.
