.06 here DP 68

Got .29 in the bucket today. Maybe some more later.

Radar looks nice in Pennsylvania. Hopefully it holds together by the time it arrives here later.

Barclays Center just postponed the Liberty Women's basketball game tonight because the whole arena is full of smoke. Yankee game just got postponed to tomorrow.

Reminds me of when I lived in southern California and we had brush fires nearby.

Wife is leaving work in Farmingdale says it's hailing "big pieces" I'm assuming pea to less than marble size lol.

No mention of rain during the weekend from this afternoon's OKX AFD: LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Fcst confidence from Thu into daytime Fri fairly high, as an upper ridge to the west and a broad trough to the south both persist. Enough ridging aloft should remain in place to keep the southern sys from impacting our wx, meanwhile we should turn progressively warmer Thu into Fri, with highs in the 80s on Thu away from south facing shores, and reaching the lower 90s NW of NYC on Fri, a good 5-10 deg above normal along the coast and 10-15 deg above normal inland. Timing of a back door cold fropa Fri night/Sat still in question, with the GFS faster than the ECMWF. Because of this kept high temps on Sat a little warmer than NBM, with near 80 NW of NYC and reaching the mid/upper 70s elsewhere. As high pressure to the north builds in through the rest of the weekend, temps should trend to within a few degrees either side of normal from Sunday through Tuesday, with Sunday the coolest of the three days (upper 60s east to mid 70s west). Another cold front may pass on Tue. ECMWF and GFS are in close agreement with the 30/12Z cycle, but run-to-run timing and position of wx systems has been inconsistent given model difficulty handling the overall blocky pattern aloft extending from ern NoAm across the northern Atlantic, so fropa could be delayed into Wed.

Frontal rain looks to be breaking up as it heads east

1.5 so far at my station

Comfortable night. Temp 73 DP 38. Take advantage of the low dews. They won’t last too long.

Down to 29.04 or 983 millibars at my station. Impressive for April 30th. Winds going to be gusting 20-30 mph once the center passes. Atlantic City gusting to 35 out of the west.

Down to 29.07 with 3.5 inches of rain for the day so far and a storm total of 5.55

Looks like the low is off the Delaware coast. My barometer is showing 29.11. Atlantic City at the 10pm obs down to 29.05 (approx 984 millibars) Not much wind though. Probably because there is no high pressure nearby.
