Yep, Canaan Valley NWR sensor down to 37 as of 5 am, got to love that on the 1st day of August lol.

DCA: -1.1 NYC: -1.3 BOS: -1.9 ORD: -0.7 ATL: +1.8 IAH: +2.2 DEN: -0.8 PHX: +2.1 SEA: +1.8

So, finally had a +90 day yesterday, 90.4 for the high. Then a BIG storm rolled thru, only a 46 mph gust here, but just down the roll about a mile they had 60-70 mph and several trees broken off/snapped.

Do it again! But DON'T take another ball to the head!

BIG storm right on my doorstep...

Enjoy! Son and I did that back in 2017, had a blast. Stop in Williams while you are in the neighborhood, they have some neat neon stuff there on old Rt 66. Stood on 'the corner' in Winslow and took a pic or two. I'll be a 'captive audience' during those dates as we are doing a cruise down the inside passage during that time. I'm more interested in the 3-4 days we are in Anchorage and interior before that starts lol. A great way to start retirement, last 'work' day is August 18 and last day on the schedule will be September 3rd as I burn up the remaining vacation. First 'free from job day' will be Labor Day, sorta funny in a way. I made a goal to myself to be out before 60 about a year after I lost my 1st wife suddenly, this will be a promise kept. I just didn't plan on having another wife to do things with, but things happen in mysterious (and good) ways sometimes lol.

LOL, I like the 8th with that 60 degree day rearing its ugly head up...

Ditto, here is mine for the month, I've looked and I'll guess 80-90% of CoCoRaHS report every day.

Still haven't hit 90 here all summer, highest temp 88.2 back on 7/7. After a record cool (-4.5) June running about normal thru 24th for the month.

Well, that was a dud, 0.04 in the gauge and a few 20 mph gusts. Lets see if what is west can do any better in next hour or so.

Storm inbound here...

Quite hazy/smoky over here in western VA

I can remember much warmer days younger, sorta strange. We USED to cook with a SW wind driving air up thru the valleys, not so much anymore. A low/mid 90's day isn't near as frequent either.

I was just talking to someone a couple days ago about we haven't hit 100 in a good while. Seems it WAS hotter in 'days past'. I haven't hit 100 in over 10 years on my weather stations, the couple of CO-OP's near me last hit 100 back in 2012 and 2010 respectfully. I can remember MANY summers when younger in 70's and 80's where the temp would push or exceed 100... Heck, just looked at Roanoke, they hit 100 once in 2020, then you have to go back to 2012, then it is like every other year going back from there. Edited for the slip, I hit 20 instead of 10 lol.

So the 1.42 inches I got yesterday set a new daily rainfall record, beats 1990's 1.27 inches. Had 4 seperate thunderstorms/showers roll thru in a 10/12 hour period.

Another severe T-storm warning, pouring again, third time today, over an inch in gauge now.

Currently under a severe Tstorm warning for 60 mph and 1/4 hail. It is pouring with a few small (under grape, mostly pea) size hail and strongest wind has been 39 mph about 5 minutes ago. Power has 'blinked' three times in last 10 minutes. .35 in gauge in 10 minutes.

Awesome!!

I'd not sure that is a problem lol.

Last two mornings have been delightful, 55 and 57.

OUCH!! Glad you are Ok after that. Congrats on the win!

Yep, there is something about looking out in a direction from a small hill (doesn't have to be much) and seeing forever, especially in storm season.

Happy late Birthday! Hope you hit a jackpot of a storm!!

Looks like a bit of 'pinging' going on

It was warm and humid this morning, now a quick pop up thunderstorm rolling thru, pouring rain. 80.0/71.1
