Again color me stunned, STUNNED. I’m having the usual few raindrops now that make it this distance east from the daily T-storm blowups in NJ. Yesterday’s was briefly light to moderate in my backyard and early this morning we had a brief downpour.
Essentially no temps over 100 in the urban corridor in TX this summer which is quite unusual. It’s also been wet when this time of year typically gets dry other than tropical systems there. Not a fan of the humidity that’s coming back regardless of the actual temps which might not be as hot as we thought.
The severe T-storm activity and associated convection went south of where most models seemed to have it. Kudos to the SPC for citing the area SW of NYC for the best shot at severe. Wasn’t too much of a surprise it took the decent rain with it.
Tropical systems typically have heavier rain than the radar would indicate. I think it’s due to the smaller raindrops in those typically although @wdrag or someone else can give a better explanation?
