Surf zone temps up again the last couple days. Example - Today's North Wildwood sea temperature is 76.8°F (Which is 4.7°F warmer than normal for this time of year)

Signs of a WNW or NW wind and cooler, maybe for 48 hours, as we near the end of the month. Another heatwave in the works for next week.

Nice breeze currently, and in the shade not bad at all.

Appears the forecast for tomorrow has improved. Mount Holly NWS going with mostly sunny weather here and 89 with a light East wind. Would be a good day for lawn care and garden activities in the morning before hitting that high later in the afternoon. The next oppurtunity for mostly sunny weather is not until next Thursday, between those days expect additional rainfall.

Small cell just passed over Middletown where I am and it is pouring. I cannot recall in recent memory the consistency of rainfall the past 30 to 60 days after an extended period of dryness

A very active day indeed. I located this report as an example below, but many stations with 3, 4, 5 inches or more of rain over several days . BRANDYWINE CREEK AT CHADDS FORD Provider: HADS Precipitation Accumulation Valid Total: 5.68 in. Starting: 7/7/2025 8:00 AM EDT Ending: 7/10/2025 7:30 AM EDT Historical Observations: 3 Day 7 Day

There was definitely a radar indicated hook presentation on radar with a thunderstorm Southwest of Middletown this evening that then prompted the national weather service to issue a tornado warning. I'm not exactly sure the outcome of this, but it looked really cool on the radar until I started to unwind

Tonight's storm was a more productive rainfall maker than last night for sure. Measuring over 1 in of rain, however not far from here in Claymont Delaware the rainfall total is 2.95 " on its way to 3 " with flash flooding.

Believe I saw a tornado warning in WV. Storms are firing up in that area.

For my area, and in general, Mount Holly has four times the rainfall potential amounts for later today, verus last evening, interesting. @WxUSAF posted about this yesterday, as well as @CAPE. WPC remains bullish next 72 hours as well.

Clear skies for a bit today.

DP a little lower this morning despite the steam effect from all the rain. DP at 73 presently. Better dog walking weather this morning.
