bluewave Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 First time since the 1960's that so many of our stations had the July monthly high temperature on the 1st. Complete reversal from winter when the first week of January was our coldest week.

I don't mind a concentrated wet period so much but the random aspect of this has been demoralizing. You can't do anything outside because all of a sudden it gets wet. That rain plume running up the Thruway corridor this morning looks like a real soaker. Pretty amazing surge of tropical moisture. The firehose of rain just to our West stretches all the way down into the Bahamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWTT is HHH as I warned previously for August. No BN period shown for 5 weeks and our 500mbs. are the most AN for the whole country. Let's go for an 80 degree average August. lol. JB where are you? I always find it amazing how people follow JB, merely because he says what they want to hear. He is hardly ever accurate, presents very sketchy data, and yet people never question it. He beats the cold drum even in the midst of a heatwave. I just found it funny how this past weekend he was going on about D.C. being "below" average for temperature during the storm. Hmmm when it rains it typically is cooler than average. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm, humid, unstable..I just go about my business and expect to get wet at some point. Ive spent enough time in south FL to reach the point where you kinda stop planning around every potential rainfall and just take possibly of getting soaked as a normal thing.

NJwx85 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Some of the mesoscale models have trended awfully progressive over the next 48 hours. I personally don't buy it. Neither the 3k NAM nor the RGEM seem to have a good handle on the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the anomalous easterly component to the winds near the East Coast. I will run the numbers when the month is over. But this looks close to record territory for the month of July.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Pretty interesting cloud setup on the island right now. Full sunshine at my house in Wantagh with a solid cloud line visable to the north somewhere near the southern state. Just go to Jamaica on the life and it’s cloudy here. Even though it’s not technically a sea breeze we are seeing a sea breeze cloud pattern. Basically south Florida on the island today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12z Euro shares the rainfall wealth with the coast especially Wed night. It has a nice high PWAT training signal. That’s great, Nassau (south shore) especially did very poorly with the main event and the only had one quick downpour Sunday. We have had nothing since then not even a drop. Since freshwater flooding is a rarity around here and requires and insane amount of rain during a short period (say 5”+ in an hour) it’s welcome. The only time I experienced true fresh water flooding was in October 05 when the entire water table rose and that took 15”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flood Watch National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 325 PM EDT Tue Jul 24 2018 NJZ001-007>010-012>020-026-027-251000- /O.EXB.KPHI.FF.A.0009.000000T0000Z-180726T1000Z/ /00000.0.ER.000000T0000Z.000000T0000Z.000000T0000Z.OO/ Sussex-Warren-Morris-Hunterdon-Somerset-Middlesex- Western Monmouth-Eastern Monmouth-Mercer-Salem-Gloucester-Camden- Northwestern Burlington-Ocean-Coastal Ocean- Southeastern Burlington- Including the cities of Newton, Washington, Morristown, Flemington, Somerville, New Brunswick, Freehold, Sandy Hook, Trenton, Pennsville, Glassboro, Camden, Cherry Hill, Moorestown, Mount Holly, Jackson, Long Beach Island, and Wharton State Forest 325 PM EDT Tue Jul 24 2018 ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT... The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has expanded the * Flash Flood Watch to include portions of central New Jersey, northern New Jersey, northwest New Jersey, and southern New Jersey, including the following areas, in central New Jersey, Eastern Monmouth, Mercer, and Western Monmouth. In northern New Jersey, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren. In northwest New Jersey, Hunterdon. In southern New Jersey, Camden, Coastal Ocean, Gloucester, Northwestern Burlington, Ocean, Salem, and Southeastern Burlington. * Through late Wednesday night * Showers and some thunderstorms are expected to become more numerous tonight and continue through Wednesday and Wednesday night. A tropical airmass will support areas of very heavy rain, especially where showers and thunderstorms move over the same area. Rainfall amounts over 1 inch in an hour will be possible, and any training of heavy showers will lead to even higher amounts. * Excessive rainfall within a short period of time can lead to rapidly rising water and flash flooding, particularly in urban areas and along small creeks and streams. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties. Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash flood warning is issued for your area. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I've had at least 2.5-3" of rain to this point. This next round should get some of the local secondary creeks, rivers up to bank full, i.e. the Black and Raritan Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 In addition to the cloud streets just inland from the coast, they also show up really well over the Gulf Stream. You can see them dissipating over the cooler waters just to the north. http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/GOES_US/loop60.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess water temps in the 60s/70s inhibit cloud development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
