Yes, the 4th was sweet in this area; still a lot of roof damage work being done... Can't disagree about the discussed pattern. It has been a remarkably stable setup with eastern VA, eastern PA / NJ to greater NYC area being the sweet spot. It's not like a one and done pattern for those areas, it's been multiple severe weather events every week. The nw - se flow has been locked in and as you note, blocking any significant northeast expansion of good stuff. Amazing what a modest northeast shift would have of done for our area? I have friends in eastern PA and they gone through a bunch of nail-biting events...
