NWS Mount Holly @NWS_MountHolly · 1h 103° has tied the highest temp ever recorded at WFO Mount Holly, going back to 1993. The previous highest temp at our office was 103° back on July 7, 2010.

Mount Holly has increased the rainfall probabilities for Saturday eve/night. SPC has highlighted much of our area in a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe thunderstorms both Friday and Saturday. As indicated by the PoP forecast above, coverage of storms is anticipated to be relatively low on Friday, mainly isolated to scattered in nature at best. Coverage and organization of storms should be a bit greater on Saturday though. Damaging winds will be the main threat with any thunderstorm development. On Sunday, the severe weather threat may begin to become confined mainly to Delmarva where destabilization is greatest ahead of an approaching cold front. With that being said, the entire area could see showers and a few storms. SPC has highlighted this area with a day 4 15% severe risk.

Com @commoditywx https://x.com/commoditywx/status/2072374917027205215 Analogs to current modeling favor northern to upper Western heat focus with wetter risks south to east: very El Niño.

Should break 100 F in the next hour or two

Extreme heat events such as this one, with tropical moisture, have a decent potential of ending with a bang.

Seems for my location Ninas have delivered the goods ( cold and snow ) the last 6 years versus Ninos which were either not coupled, not focused or just wishy washy, and whatever Tip said in the NE forum.

Blah.......ring of nothing

OMG please, please, please....... The surf at most locations is a freakin lake..... wave energy like 20 to 29 ..... boring........

https://x.com/TylerSebreezy/status/2071380465630490940 The NSSL machine-learning severe probabilities show the classic "ring of fire" setup over the next 10+ days around our heat dome. The Northern Plains to the East Coast will have ingredients in place to support intense thunderstorm clusters/complexes and an MCS threat.

Thank you we'll have to keep an eye beginning on Saturday then I imagine

https://x.com/TonyPannWBAL/status/2071349776344351200 Tony Pann @TonyPannWBAL Big Boomers over the top of the Heat Dome later this week? Below you'll see a plot of the "K Index" from the Canadian GDPS. It's a measure of T-Storm potential. Anything 40+ is good. You can see the bullseye (red) on Thursday is well North of MD. By Friday, that 40+ zone sinks into MD. Stay tuned...

That is an incredible moisture deficit. I did not realize how bad the area is.

Wow, that is sad. I wonder what your soil moisture is down there. https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-moisture Yesterday I was lucky enough to get .80 in the cells that formed SW of me near Warwick and Galena.

Your call for extreme heat is happening. Very rare to see the Extreme Heat watch issued. Going to be brutal, not to mention the dew points and real feel temps.
