That is a pretty decent push north with the slight risk compared to the last update.That will probably be the furthest north it will get tho IMO.

They expanded the 2% tornado risk area to cover the whole arc of the coast from NC to MA.

Cool and dreary, 66 with heavy mist/drizzle. Yay 

[LoboLeader1]

Currently 70F here, 0.69 of H2O fell in bucket over nite.

[SACRUS]

77 / 71.  Warm and humid with clouds.  Some isolated showers otherwise cloudy with some breaks of sun.  Mid 80s warmer i there are longer breaks in the sun.  Warm and humid Wed (8/16) and Thu (8/17) with some isolated showers and storms before trough and front move through Fri (8/18) with next shot at more widespread storms.

Sat (8/19) - Wed (8/24)   ridge builds into the GL and OV with center peaking at 594 - 600 DM.  Strongest heat looks south of the areas but a warm - hot NW flow and strong heat may push through for a day 8/23 - 8/24.  Rideg looks impressive with a broil under the axis. 

Beyond there warm overall and perhaps seasonal trend breaks with more ridging centered into the NE.

Historical:

 

1787 - Tornadoes were reported in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Wethersfield CT was hard hit by the tornado outbreak. (David Ludlum)

1946 - Saint Louis, MO, was deluged with a record 8.78 inches of rain in 24 hours. (The Weather Channel)

1967 - The sundance fire in northern Idaho was started by lightning. Winds of 50 mph carried firebrands as much as ten miles in advance to ignite new fires, and as a result, the forest fire spread twenty miles across the Selkirk Mountains in just twelve hours, burning 56,000 acres. The heat of the fire produced whirlwinds of flame with winds up to 300 mph which flung giant trees about like matchsticks. (David Ludlum)

 

1983: Hurricane Alicia formed on this day and was the costliest tropical cyclone in the Atlantic since Hurricane Agnes in 1972. It struck Galveston and Houston, Texas directly, causing $2.6 billion (1983 USD) in damage and killing 21 people. This storm was the worst Texas hurricane since Hurricane Carla in 1961. Also, Alicia was the first billion-dollar tropical cyclone in Texas history.

1987 - Thunderstorms developing ahead of a sharp cold front produced severe weather in the Upper Midwest during the afternoon and evening hours, with Minnesota and eastern South Dakota hardest hit. A thunderstorm in west central Minnesota spawned a tornado at Eagle Lake which killed one person and injured eight others. A thunder- storm in eastern South Dakota produced softball size hail at Warner. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Thirty five cities in twenty states in the north central and northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Lamoni IA and Baltimore MD, where the mercury hit 105 degrees. Temperatures 100 degrees or above were reported in twenty-two states. Pierre SD was the hot spot in the nation with a high of 114 degrees. Bluefield WV reported eight straight days of record heat. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Evening thunderstorms in eastern New Mexico produced wind gusts to 66 mph at Clovis. Evening thunderstorms in West Texas produced baseball size hail around Hereford, Dimmitt, Ware and Dalhart. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

.41" maybe we get something later

That's exactly the amount I got too. As Allsnow said, this event ended up being a bust. Even areas to the north that got a significant amount of rain didn't get the huge amounts that Forky was talking about.

Ummmm

[MANDA]

Rainfall totals from overnight through about 8am.

Widespread 1"+ totals NNJ along and north of 80 and over the eastern third or so of L.I.

It did under perform my expectations of more widespread  2"+ totals with some local amounts to 3-4".

Either way, everything staying well watered in my area and I'm not complaining about that.

[Intensewind002]

Picked up about 0.71” here. The storm overnight saturday gave me more rain at 1.1”

[Picard]

1.33" when I add the 0.11 from late last evening + 1.22 from overnight, which fits with Manda's map.

It was ripping pretty good for about 15 minutes just after 4am, but with no thunder.

Now just misty and overcast.  Quite a miserable day.  Probably not much gets started again later without the sun to heat things up?

[JustinRP37]

Honestly did not see cloudy and misty all day today. Anyone have stats on cloud cover for the summer? It feels like outside of a few weeks in July it has been excessively cloudy. Honestly hoping that we get a big shakeup soon to break this pattern. But I can almost guarantee we won't be putting up negative departures like we have in June and August come December and January.

Euro op is the warmest out of all its ensemble members. This is another can kick with the heat that we have witnessed all summer 

I'm starting to wonder if we're gonna see any extreme heat this summer. It's getting late. 

And what a weekend we have coming up. A beautiful airmass comes in friday afternoon into saturday. Dewpoints could drop to the low 50s. Saturday looking like a top 10 day of the year with sunshine, low 80s and very low humidity. Even when it warms up on sunday, it's nothing impressive and humidity will only come up a little. Looks like the best weekend of the summer.

.51" last night.  Not bad.

Euro through 96 hours is coming in cooler than last night's run and less aggressive with the hot air mass over the central U.S. We'll see how this run completes but I think we're moving towards a consensus that we'll be on the edge of the hot air mass for 24 hours Sun-Mon and then cooler.

May have to eat my words as at 120 while not as warm here the heat dome is building into Canada on the Euro. It's going to have a hard time bypassing us completely if this run is correct.

And yes at 144 we are looking at an expanding heat dome of very hot air. I would be careful about the idea that this will in fact occur. I think right now the odds weigh more heavily in favor of a b-door front around the 22nd but this run at 144 hours makes it look like a longer heatwave.

WX/PT

[Wxoutlooksblog]

And at 168 hours your b-door front is almost here. But we are pretty solidly in this heat for a day and a half possibly 2 days.

WX/PT

[Wxoutlooksblog]

But what happens when the heat is expanding and the HP dropping behind the b-door front is weak and only a nose from a HP in central Canada. The HP becomes a LP and our heat is extended possibly throughout next week. We'll be questioning this solution today for a while before buying it.

WX/PT

[Wxoutlooksblog]

Of course you finally get your backdoor at 216 hours. But the only support right now this solution has the GFS from 5 days ago. That's not a strong yes vote. And the idea of the LP kicking the first HP behind the first b-door front out to sea seems not right for no other reason than it hasn't happened all summer.

It’s be a rough summer for heat lovers….haha

low 80’s and upper 70’s this weekend
