Forcing does appear to be quite strong with the deepening trough, so at this point it does seem plausible for there to be at the very least some strong thunderstorms around Thursday afternoon and evening. This is supported quite well by the machine learning guidance by UCAR/NCAR which has a targeted area of severe weather potential over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Will continue to monitor for trends in the guidance but regardless, the general idea that a front will bring showers and thunderstorms to the area is consistent with the guidance. Improving weather should return by Friday and into next weekend as high pressure returns.

Same here, low visibility all things considered and a strong smell of smoke. Weekends have had clouds and rain here 11 out of 15 , now add nasty smoke particulates.

Forest fire smoke is so bad here. Special Olympics have been postponed 2 hours.

LOL. feast or famine, .17 go 15 miles and you are at over an inch, but of course this is the typical summer rainfall distribution outside of a solid line of storms. I am sure things will change.

Surf zone temps up again today, reports of 69 up from 60 not too long ago.

Its simply nasty today at this hour. I believe it is the first day that I noticed how uncomfortable it feels outside. 90 here currently, wasn't sure we make it a few days ago.

Still exploring it in beta at this time, an account is free.

Seriously, almost 80 degree DP in certain locations in the Midwest, wow !

Finally it appears we are headed to a normal temp pattern, to at times above normal, with higher humidity levels. Eventually we may have the ingredients for a widespread severe weather threat in the Midwest and Mid Atlantic later in the month. Will post that in the severe thread.

Well, that is interesting, as the Atlantic seems to be warmer closer to the East Coast and the Gulf. Plenty of SST juice if seasonal models are correct , already those areas are above normal. Threats may have shorter lead times and develop closer to the EC and the Gulf, but why does the superblend not indicate that, I am not sure at this time.

East Coast favored if you believe these models

DR 56 here, better than recent days.

Good thing that smoke at higher levels will not mix down. Maybe a nice sunset today. Ocean surf zone at a general 64, nice move up.

Yep, it was windy.

Been lucky here with random and small areas of rain showers flying around. I am looking forward to sunshine for many reasons, such as reduce tomato blight, reduce lawn fungus, less moss and mildew, and of course I simply feel better on sunny days, even if it is hot. So many bugs lately as well, but one thing ( sorry more banter ) is the lack of bees in my garden, it is truly shocking compared to not too long ago. Very sad for the beneficial bee population.

That sucks, often happens here. The locals mentioned the C&D canal effect when we moved here 25 years ago. I don't believe it, thinking simple bad luck and history of storm paths and boundaries.

.19 here last 3 hours, yet not too far away, maybe 10 miles .48 of rain. Crazy local amounts. However, more storms are forming with a destination of the upper Eastern Shore.

Typically our more extreme hot summers tend to have hot month of May. This summer will likely be warmer than average, but it should not be extreme heat. Seasonal models continue to depict the worst of the summer heat located in the West.

Usually big heat summers show up in May.
