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.

Still think summer will be a very hot ?

The long range still shows no real extreme heat. Next week might be trending downward with temps as a more Easterly flow may set up. The main heat areas are out West. Precip is never that far away. Granted the actual amounts may vary.

The persistence of cloud cover the last several months is almost annoying as the high winds of the last several months, although that seems to be diminishing.

The early season modeling that predicted the worse of the heat being out West is holding true in the very early phase of JJA. Seems that the High pressure tendencies that started many summers ago is present again Northeast of us allowing a more humid airmass, but not extreme heat. Temps may be skewed by higher overnight lows.

.28 here from that line that went through.

Sneaky broken line moving SE, better do dog walk now. OMG its steamy outside

Can't wait, checked out the video and there are surfers out there presently getting some good wave action, as mentioed below the tide is coming in with a peak high tide in Southern NJ at 5:30 to 6:20 PM today. Surf zone summary : Fun-size SSE swell has built in this afternoon. Patchy fog but fun chest high waves. Low pressure tracking through the Northwest Atlantic sets up a fun pulse of mid period swell that moves in and peaks this afternoon That offers surf in the chest high range with some bigger sets likely at top spots as the tide pushes in. Shape generally looks pretty fun but parts of Ocean County still are dealing with fog and low visibility. Winds look light most of the day setting up pretty clean/manageable conditions. Make the most of it. https://northwildwood.com/north-wildwood-surf-cams/

Not bad

The line doing a split here, nothing unusual with that. Happens a lot. Meanwhile, I would not be surprised to see some peaks of sun here based on the currentl satellite animation. Clouds are zipping along.

The local forecast grids have cloudy skies for the next 4 days yet precipitation totals only about .25 to about .50. Surf zone temps appear to be getting ready to ratchet upwards to match climatology. Already several nearby stations have reported temperatures increasing several° f.

Light rain showers here presently. 70 F.

That was very fast, like poof.

That was a big reversal from Mount Holly, from Mostly sunny skies on Saturday after morning clouds to mostly cloudy all day. Saturday saturday A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 80. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Storms developing in Dover De and moving slowly NW, yet forecast for my grid is mostly sunny, hmm. Meanwhile storms to the West near ( Thurmont ) moving East, but progress may be limited

Reminds me of yesterday's post by @MillvilleWx very muggy, moisture in the air and everything wet.

Mount Holly AFD zone forecasts actually has skies clearing and going to mostly sunny on Saturday.
