All of you who root for this type of humidity, I hope your AC breaks

uncomfortably dry and boring today

I hate to sound like a socialite from the 1920s, but Lake Placid is the place to be in this heat. Pleasant and beautiful!

Well the good news is I found where the water is coming into my basement. The bad news is water is coming into my basement. Huge storm here dropped a ton of water in just twenty minutes. How do we all feel about Dryloc on a basement cinder block wall? Good idea or must this be tackled outside via digging? It is a small seepage.

Home Depot sells something called red guard, a good wall sealant. The only problem it goes on red. I would put a coat of that on and then a coat, maybe 2, of drylok (which is white) over it. If that doesn't  stop it than you might have to go outside via digging.

How much did you end up with? The heavy stuff slid by just north of me, I got .09. I saw some spots a few miles east of you went over 3"! We did Drylok about 25 years ago, it worked great until last year.

It shouldn't have expired, it should've extended east. I just got pummeled with the heaviest rain yet this year for over a half hour and it looks like there's more coming. Neighborhood rain gauges are all over the place from as low as .5 up to 1.5. My driveway looks like a river and the street is an inch deep. Woof

79 / 75.  Hot and humid.  Heatwave for serveral today, others tomorrow.   Enough sun will push mid - upper 90s on a more  N flow today.    The Florida style pattern and high humidity will raise DT into the mid - upper 70s (has raised) the next 3-5 days.     Trough west / Atlantic Ridge on roids balloons west 600 DM pushing >590 DM along the EC.  Remnants of Beryl keep the already prone to drenchers more drenching mid week.  Rain/ clouds and Beryl will spoil heatwave extending beyond Tue,. Overall warm - hot and stormy pattern the through the 12th.   Peice of western heat on the move mid month, poised for a continued hotter second half.

 

7/5 - 7/12 : Humid/ Hot storms (drenchers possible Tue night - Wed)

I’d say 25 years is a good run! We got pummeled last night and this morning. Well over 2 inches. Probably pushing closer to 4 with this morning’s storm. Some tremendous amounts of rain. I’m going to have to figure out the basement over the next few days as we are traveling next week. This has been a week for us. A leaking toilet, the basement, and the washing machine decided to end its life. Fixed the toilet and have new washer and dryer coming early this week. Only the basement is left to fix!

I was talking about the lower soil moisture south of I-78 in mid-June and how it would likely be a temporary situation before the heavier rains eventually arrived. This has been the pattern in recent years. Brief drier patterns of lower soil moisture before more impressive heavier rains than the brief drier patterns which preceded them. I also posted how the area has only seen D0 to D2 drought conditions since the last real drought here in 01-02 reaching a D3 requiring actual water restrictions in NYC. So in effect these have been nuisance dry patterns resulting in brown lawns. But here in CT we never really got into the brown lawn situation since it was cooler and wetter than in NJ. Whenever the dew points go 75° to 80° and PWATS reach 2.00”+ we always get very heavy to locally torrential downpours.
