I agree, we've had enough rain and could use a drying out period now. Looks like a nice dry period the next 5 days with lower humidity and near normal summer temps. I'm looking forward to it. The high humidity with rain chances will come back on Tuesday. By then I'll be wanting rain again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyWx Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 About 0.8" here, can't complain. Very little wind, which is good, and some decent boomers. Definitely a nice stretch coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequest Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 A MUCH needed 1.35" with Wednesday evening's storms out here by The Gap. We totally missed Tuesday evening's storms as well as those earlier in the day yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 The storm that moved through between 10:30 and 11:00 pm had the most lightning flashes since moving up here. The .89 for the day brings the rainfall total here up to 14th place for July so far. It was one of the few times that the 3rd round of storms on the day was the heaviest with the most lightning.

bluewave Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Both the EPS and GEFS continue the active convection pattern going forward. We finally get a break from the major 95° to 100° heat. The front that lowers the temperatures and dew points here next few days comes back north with numerous waves of low pressure riding along it into late July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the decisionmaker that identified this as an appropriate location to install the ASOS? It doesn't comply with any siting standards. Most backyard thermometers are more reliably sited than this. Thanks very much for posting that updated picture. It shows how the growth has even become more dense in recent years. The interesting thing is that the name attached to the photo is from a lead NWS forecaster in DC that used to be an active poster in our forum years ago. Ray is a really good guy that maintains a great winter storm archive. My guess is that he had to see the site in person since it has been running so much lower than surrounding sites. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2024-05-24_17_49_58_View_south_across_the_Central_Park_Automated_Surface_Observing_System_(ASOS)_in_Central_Park,_Manhattan,_New_York_City,_New_York.jpg 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 74 / 71 1.62 in the bucket yesterday. Front meandering just south of us and slow to push south. Should dry out and clear up later but mostly cloudy through the noon hour at least if not most the early afternoon. Break in the heat with mainly mid - upper 80s. Friday - nicest day, dry and warm - near normal. Sat warming back up and with front near by perhaps some scattered storms and mainly cloudy before Sun warm/humid. The Atlantic ridge keeps the EC under ridging with the continued warm-hot / humid and frequent storm with trough back into the MW and ridge west. Beyond next weekend flow could go a bit flatter with more heat coming east (after the 29th). 7/18 - 7/19: Break in heat, near normal 7/20 - 7/28: Warm-hot, Humid, Frequent storm chances (chance for 90/low 90s) 7/29 - beyond : Overall war - hot - could see stronger heat come east. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relying on these lines of storms that die off east of the city 98% of the time doesn’t often do it. I’ve been lucky for once. Looking forward to the lower humidity for a few days before the steam bath returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Had an even 1" here during last nights storms. Wind was quite minimal. A few good flashes and rumbles but mostly just a nice soaking. Additional rainfall chances next week so good for a while around here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Fairly extensive dryness and drought over the eastern 1/4 of the country. Some of this should get beaten back over the next 2 weeks expecially over the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Generally fair and somewhat warmer than normal readings will prevail through the weekend. Some showers or thundershowers could become likely toward the middle of next week. 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 -31.27 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.244 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.
