  1. the 2020 tropical season has been extremely active and i can't help but feel the worst is in store for the United States in a big way. we're burning through a lot of names with relative trash and fish storms, but, the atmosphere clearly intends to let loose on us, the water's there to support it. and that's really disturbing when you consider the stagnant steering flows and unusual retrograding patterns we've seen.
  2. the low over North Carolina is now an NHC lemon for subtropical development. it doesn't remotely look to affect us as a tropical event, but its potential development is yet another wrench in the gear of the short- and mid-term forecasting.
  3. Wow hours of rain for north Delaware which was also crushed by Isaias. There must be monthly records getting cracked this year for them.
  4. It does look like that Chesapeake complex is crawling along the front towards CNJ.
  5. I think the action in central Jersey is about to kickoff, it has gotten very breezy and I am surrounding by dark heavy clouds in New Brunswick.
  6. I wonder if this will be one of those days with outflow boundary dominoes popping storms.
  7. some decent thunder, only the briefest of a moderate rain shower. my local station is Somerville and it stopped reporting so i'm not sure what the dew point is. 76 F at McGwire AFB. honestly doesn't seem like a day where the sky will open up but i guess we will see.
  8. The days are tough but the nights are brutal with this airmass. I just cannot sleep like this, and the apartment retains the heat of the day. Country living is so much more pleasant.
  9. Ran/walked a 5K at Rutgers around lunchtime at the Busch track. I am trying to get myself used to exerting in that heat but man it gets stifling. Now 93/71/100. In my apartment with the windows open and the air off and just letting myself sweat to death.
  10. OK, fair point. It's bankable that large-scale environmental engineering projects will need to be undertaken by countries and consortiums of countries over the next several decades. It goes well beyond global warming, too.
  11. Too bad it's humid subtropical and not Mediterranean. Wonder what kind of crops we'll be able to grow here in 20 years.
  12. Most people haven't the faintest idea about things outside of their very narrow field of vision nor are they capable of empathy or imagination, plus, they're just pissed off that the power's out. Probably everyone here has had a boss at one time or another who wanted a week's worth of work done by lunchtime.
  13. We'll see how many of these Cape Verde storms become a problem for us. I think it's non-zero.
  14. That's my jam. But I have enjoyed this summer as well. The amateur enthusiast can find a port in any storm (or lack thereof).
  15. This'll end up a top year for summer storms, including two direct hit tropical systems. Wild.
  16. FSU's phase space diagram of the GFS indicates Isaias was still hanging onto its tropical characteristics as a very marginally warm core storm at 1:00 PM. Impressive at such a latitude.
  17. That slug of moisture which I assume is the former eyewall is going to be a real problem for flash flooding in WCNJ.
  18. Radar's finally filling in towards us at least. The axis of heavy rains looks a good 50 miles west of where it was predicted a few days ago.
  19. Probably not a great day for friends, family, and neighbors around here tomorrow. Bad trends.
