My current work site is just across the DMB in NJ and we got absolutely drenched this afternoon. Didn't see any flood conditions at the site nor on my way home through I-95 and 202 though. We also appeared to dodge several of the storms coming through in the morning and around noon though.
-
Today was absolutely lovely working outside with the heavy cloud cover. The only exceptions were when the clouds momentarily broke and the sun shone through, instantly raising the factor of uncomfortability, but thankfully those moments were far and few between. Hard to beat that summer sun angle I guess, though it's interesting to think that we now have the same amount of daylight as April 25th. It'll be the fall equinox in just over a month.

So nice outside right now--I can't remember the last time we had such low humidity, but according to my weather station, the last time we saw any dewpoints under 60°F was ten days ago. Looking forward to working outdoors this week as well. Can we please be done with the Florida weather for this summer?
-
Interesting. I don't suppose you have dewpoint data?
-
Earlybirds. JK! I know there's a huge flock of fish crows that takes flight around dawn near one of my worksites in south NJ but I don't think they are numerous enough to cause those kind of returns.
-
Should cool down for you soon. It's 84 here.
-
Wow, the radar returns fell off a cliff for Berks at least. Thought for sure we'd get some boomers this afternoon but I guess there just isn't enough instability in the air to support any big storms near me at the moment. The cloud cover is nice for a change though.
-
I couldn't stay awake for it but apparently we received another .28" last night.

tHaT's NoT a tHiNg!!! lol

Flashes of lightning to the west lighting up the sky now. Can this line hold together?
-
Work cancelled tomorrow due to it being the 4th consecutive day of this heat. Thank goodness. Today was brutal. Hoping now to get a storm to lower the temps a bit, but not seeing anything local on the radar.
-
Same time, same place tomorrow evening you guys? See you all then. Off to bed before another sweltering workday. Be a geologist, they said... You get to work outside, they said... Finished with .56" for a two-day total of 1.39". Not bad.

Cooled to 73.4 with light rain and distant thunder. Some of the thunderclaps near us sounded like artillery. It was awesome. The cat was not impressed.
-
Absolutely POURING down rain right now. The cul-de-sac is now a lake. I think I see white caps...
-
Seeing some nice storms bubbling up to my west. We got .83" yesterday, let's see if we get that much today. Still ugly-hot out, down from a high of 95.
-
Daaang. Shots fired.
-
For sure. It's doing the "Reading Split". Oh well, can't complain with .8" for the day. Might get a few sprinkles from this as a consolation prize.
-
Check out this shelf cloud! Looking west-ish out my front door.
-
It must have poured like the dickens just before I got home. .8" from that one little storm! Drove through the remnants of it on the 176. Nice and cool now as well.
-
There's a nice blob over Reading... just to my east. Like, less than a couple of miles away. Arg. (gonna have to water again tonight)
-
Pretty hot here. Some nice CU starting to develop though.
-
On one hand, the Pacific decadal oscillation is a thing that pros and amateurs alike have been trying to find correlations with our winter weather for, well, decades. OTOH, that would mean this winter's prone to suckage. I guess we'll find out!

Caught this headline in the local rag: "Winter in Berks might be rough, forecasts and signals show" https://www.readingeagle.com/local-news/winter-in-berks-might-be-rough-forecasts-and-signals-show/article_2a893f8e-f771-11eb-935b-07a250729df9.html One (retired) met is calling this year analogous to 2010... Here's hoping!
-
Man that radar looks so juicy to our south. I'll just settle for a nice, cloudy day I guess.

Entering the dry season it seems. Two weeks ago, my lawnmower struggled to get through the lush grass in my back yard. I mowed it again 4 days later and it was still a bit tough. Then I wasn't able to mow it again for 10 days... no struggle at all this time. I have the feeling it's going to get pretty arid out there with no rain in the forecast until the end of next week! Looks like we'll be watering tonight. At least it's not too humid out, so that's nice.
