Short range models are not that enthused for tonight around here from local sources, yet I see storms firing NE of me near Wilmington and Woodbury, NJ. The Delaware rain forcefield is in full effect below the C&D Canal.

NWS just issue a watch here. Very dark clouds to my North. Have to keep a close eye on the radar next several hours.

Very impressive cell. Have not seen 80dbz color signature in a while.

Euro not good at times. I have not looked at the latest run. Meanwhil,e the WPC has trimmed back rainfall totals even more in its latest update, especially the Tidewater region. when you look at your local forecast and see odds of rain at 70 % equaling a tenth of an inch, pretty sad.

For today most of the action is West of us. WPC rainfall for Day one

Highest rainfall totals have shifted well North of the area into NE PA. and Eastern New York state. Of course things could change locally with heavier storms. Feels like a summer morning out there already with temp of 72 and DP of 64

Yep, you are correct. Looking at the radar frame by frame the main cell has now weakened, and another much weaker cell has formed East of the Proving Grounds over the water.

Watching the radar thought the movement would bend more East with time, but it is continuing to move NE. Some sort of boundary ? Thought it might clip me. but not looking good.

Rather warm and a bit humid in the sun here. Placing a compost, top soil mix into the garden this morning, to see if I get better results this year, both in crop yield, but also to see if maybe tomato blight might be reduced by having new soil onto of the over wintering blight spores.

Area of early AM clouds moving East, clouds to the West currently in Ohio and West VA., nicest day for a while today. Dew 37 F.

Dew points creeping up 64 F here.

That G might pop into a O

Three minute downpour here.

Temps

Interesting 6 to 10 day outlook. Not a real surprise though.

The rainfall distribution is rather blotchy

Interesting looking at the East Coast surf zone temps compared to 2024 and also reviewing the Atlantic basin as a whole. The Atlantic is near 2 degrees F cooler than last year on this date, lesser hurricanes activity is a possible outcome, however, the near shore water temps actually are somewhat above 2024 at this time. Beach season may arrive earlier this year.

These would be excellent offshore surfing winds in a couple months, granted not as strong though. current surf conditions are: Surf easing for PM hours with breezy offshores knocking down the surf We have plenty of rideable lines sticking around the knee to thigh high zone early PM with standouts in south Ocean County consistently hitting waist high. Winds are breezy WNW-NW so conditions are clean, but looking racy/challenging on the low tide early PM. Swell drops out through the PM with winds shifting more NW over the afternoon/evening hours so bring a longboard that can get you into the small surf through the stiff offshore breezes.

Dew point 29 , nice.

Next cool air delivery after tomorrow might be near May 3 rd to May 6 th, somewhat related to the SSWE that took place weeks ago.

Dew point dropping quick, down to 39, meanwhile winds gusting to 35 mph.

Crazy storm across Assawomen wildlife area on the Delmarva. Two special marine warnings

That was the heaviest rain in a long while, even though it did not last that long. Very welcomed !

Can nicely see the line forming to the NW on the GOES-19 - Sector view: Northeast - GeoColor
