0.42" here. Overall this event was a little disappointing considering what the potential looked like several days ago, but at least it was just enough to give the decent watering that we desperately needed. I won't have to water the vegetable garden tomorrow and hopefully we'll get more rain on wednesday. 

Models did a good job in our area imo. General idea was .4-.7, the bigger totals were just to our west 

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

So my casual observation of drought causes drought observation was just totally nailed in with this batch. Last week when the hail core and heavy rain access moves over western Suffolk it exactly mirrored the area of heavy rain that just moved through the same area From the opposite direction… Coincidence?? 

[Rjay]

A little over a half inch here. 

[Picard]

0.6"  Nice soaking.  It's a start.

Still raining.  On the lighter side now.

[Wxoutlooksblog]

Though .35-.55" rainfall tonight was not a very big deal most of the models suggest above normal rainfall for the next ten days. We should see more rain on Wednesday.

didn't expect this much from what just passed (was at 0.05") Fairfield, CT.  still coming down.

 

 

[Cfa]

0.16” from that “line”, 0.19” for the day. Not nearly enough.

[forkyfork]

more cold ULL hail potential on wednesday 

[JerseyWx]

Just about 0.50" total.  I think this was very beneficial rain in that we didn't have any torrential downpours at any given time (at least here), but rather a nice steady rain that could soak in better.

Hoping we can get more rain Wednesday and maybe even Friday.  In between those chances, Tuesday, Thursday, and the weekend are looking really nice.

.29” in the park, so it looks like the screw zone was right through the city. Wonderful back endless watering tomorrow 

[Tatamy]

Just about 1” here.  It helps however we are still below normal.

[bkviking]

That big radar blob came right at me in Smithtown last night so ended up with .64”. We take. 

[dmillz25]

Got about .4” here 

[lee59]

.45 inch of rain here. Much needed.

[winterwarlock]

.94 imby

 

Very dry lawns here..still were able to do all but 2 last week but we really needed yesterdays dump to keep cutting going this week

[CIK62]

The next 8 days are averaging   69degs.(61/77) or -4.

Reached 74 here yesterday at 3pm.

Today:     76-80, wind w., p. sunny, 66 tomorrow AM.

64*(86%RH) here at 7am.       73* at Noon.       78* at 3pm.       80* at 4pm.     81* at 5pm.       83* at 5:30pm.     Reached 84* at 6pm.      76* at 8pm.      73* at 9pm.

[Rtd208]

Picked up 0.59" of rain for the day yesterday.

 

[gravitylover]

.14. Meaningless. The ground is still powdery dry a half inch down and I'm sure the surface will be all powdery duff again by the end of the day. At least it rinsed the dust off some of the flowers and they look nice. 

[SACRUS]

 

65 / 54 and clearing partly sunny.  One the way to a gorgeous day.  Near / low 80s for most.   Wed (6/14) more clods and scattered showers and storms as ULL moves through the Catskills.  Thu (6/15) a repeat of Tuesday with mostly sunny and near / low 80s.   Friday is similar to Wed with clouds and showers moving through and cooler.   

 

The weekend split looks reversed clouds and lingering storms and showers before a splendid fathers day (6/18).

 

The period 6./19 - 6/26 ULL # 4 , 5, 6 and where will they cut off under the building ridge.  Latest guidance favors the Ohio valley and into western VA / Carolinas with strong onshore flow into the area.  We'll have to see the eventual progression but this keeps the area capped near / below normal and pending o location(s) of these cut offs and tendency for weakness into the E to back troughs in, could spell rain chances.  

 

Beyond there we'll see if the building furnace into the Rockies and S plains/ TX//OK ejects pieces to end the month o a hotter note.  Watching for the Western Atlantic Ridge to build west as we close the month.

 

 

[SACRUS]

 

0.50 here to wake up the frogs.  00Z guidance a bit less rainfall through Day 10 than prior guidance but still looks wetter.

1889 - Forest fires in northern Wisconsin and northeast Minnesota were in the process of destroying millions of dollars of board feet of timber. (David Ludlum)

1907 - The temperature at Tamarack, CA, dipped to 2 degrees above zero, the lowest reading of record for June for the U.S. The high that day was 30 degrees. Tamarack received 42 inches of snow between the 10th and the 13th. On the 13th the snow depth was 130 inches. (The Weather Channel)

1984 - Severe thunderstorms struck Denver deluging the city with five inches of rain, and leaving up to six feet of water in some places. Softball size hail smashed windshields and ripped through metal cars. Snow plows had to be called out. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Fifteen cities in the north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including International Falls, MN, with a reading of 92 degrees. Mason City IA and Waterloo IA reported record highs of 100 degrees. Thunderstorms in the northeastern U.S. produced golf ball size hail around Hamilton Square NJ, along with high winds which tore the roof off a hospital causing a million dollars damage. Averill Park NY was deluged with 1.64 inches of rain in fifteen minutes. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Afternoon thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Southern and Central Plains Region. Forrest NM was deluged with 5.5 inches of rain in ninety minutes. Temperatures soared into the 90s across much of the eastern half of the nation, including New England. Northern Illinois reported a record twenty straight days of dry weather. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Southern Plains Region to the Carolinas during the day and night, and continued to drench parts of Texas and Oklahoma with heavy rain. Oklahoma City reported 13.41 inches of rain for the first thirteen days of the month, and Fort Worth TX reported 29.56 inches for the year, a total more than 13 inches above normal. Severe drought continued to rage across South Texas. (The National Weather Summary)

.87" here yesterday.  

[MANDA]

Received .77" here.  Grass looks a little less crispy this morning.

[MANDA]

As expected totals were heaviest west and faded east.  Eastern PA did well!  I'm happy with how we did in my neck of the woods.

I'm again not believing the hype for heat at the end of this month. We keep seeing interludes where it looks real on the models only to rapidly disappear into onshore southeasterly or easterly winds marine layers galore yes higher humidity but probably also periods of rain. The heights come up some but with the developing El Nino jet stream energy and storms passing over us or even to our south, jet stream about 750 miles further south than normal, I say a cooler wetter than average summer is on the way. Now that doesn't mean there won't be the isolated days of heat in between the rain and fog makers. Maybe even a rare two days in the row at times. But I see this summer ending up with a grand total of 5-15 90+ days at Central Park.

It would be nice to have a near normal summer, temperature wise, but we have seen above normal temperatures for many moons, so I expect the seasonable weather not to last?  Yes, I know persistence is the weakest of forecasting tools.

[Volcanic Winter]

I’m here for a cooler to normal summer. Doesn’t have to be 90+ with dews at ‘pea soup’ levels to have enjoyable, sunny summer days. A lot of my dysphoria for our climate is due to the oppressive heat of recent years.

Aside from that, within the past 20 years haven’t ‘cooler’ summers preceded a few of our better winters? Not implying a correlation, just noting from memory what I remember seeing.

Not in my memory. I think it can work both ways. A few examples of extremely hot summers followed by great winters correct me if I'm wrong---1966, 1993, 1995, 2002, 2010....just to name a few. But of course hot summer of 1983 was followed by a not so great winter of 83-84. So I think it works both ways and that it's not a great correlation. Another hot summer 1991 was followed by a not very good winter 91-92.

If I checked correctly, the last time NYC had 3 consecutive months below normal was 8 years ago January-March 2015

[doncat]

Halfway thru June and the two warmest consecutive days so far was back on April 13 and 14 at 89° and 91°.
