I was amazed that meteors can cause a loud rumble.  I was outside when the meteor passed overhead.  I originally thought it was some type of military maneuver...

"Additionally, the agency notes that on Tuesday morning, at the time of the fireball sighting, there were reports of "military activity in the vicinity," saying that "would explain the multiple shakings and sounds reported to the media."

The loud noise and apparent shaking were reported from southern New Jersey to parts of Queens and Brooklyn, according to NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM)."

Temperatures soared into the 90s across many parts of the Middle Atlantic region today. High temperatures included:

Baltimore: 100°
New York City: 90°
Newark: 91°
Philadelphia: 95°
Washington, DC: 101°

Baltimore and Washington, DC both recorded their record-tying fourth consecutive 100° or above days.

Somewhat cooler air will arrive overnight and tomorrow following showers and thunderstorms. Nevertheless, temperatures will generally run somewhat above normal through the remainder of the week and weekend.

The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead.  

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.3°C for the week centered around July 10. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.47°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.23°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the late summer or early fall.

The SOI was -25.30 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.279 today.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 90% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal July (1991-2020 normal). July will likely finish with a mean temperature near 80.2° (2.7° above normal). That would tie 2024 with 2011 as the 6th hottest July on record.

   SUMMARY...A severe threat of damaging winds, and perhaps marginally severe hail, will continue across portions of southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic over the next 2-3 hours. Local watch extension in time appear likely.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar trends indicate two areas of damaging wind concerns across northern MA, and southward into far eastern PA. A small bowing segment, and a cluster of relatively robust updrafts are present within these regions. Although MLCIN should slowly begin to increase with the approach of sunset, surface observations across NJ ahead of the cluster suggest an undisturbed, buoyant air mass remains in place. Temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, along with dewpoints in the low 70s, is contributing to MLCAPE ~1000-1500 J/kg. Cell mergers occurring through this evening will have the opportunity to produce severe wind gusts with deepening cold pools.
   This may especially be true across portions of southern NJ where slightly stronger low-level flow exists. A bowing segment or two will also remain possible here. A local extension in time will likely be needed for portions of the watch.

Guess that cell that passed over Syosset caused issues for LIRR:

Train service on the Port Jefferson Branch is suspended in both directions between Hicksville and Huntington due to signal trouble near Syosset. Use alternate branches where possible, including the Ronkonkoma Branch. Maintainers are en route.

Conspiracy theories anyone?

Tree down between Syosset and Cold Spring Harbor.
