My zucchinis are comically large this year. And the single jalapeno that grew on my plant is the size of my fist.

Yeah usually I'm happy to see a storm approaching, but of course not this time.

Horrible. Hopefully it will move along fast enough that we can avoid more flooding.

Hopefully 2 humidity free or light days coming Fri and Sat. But then sweaty breath comes roaring back. 

Yeah, it looks like a brief dip in the dewpoints Fri-Sat snd again on Mon. So this could cause a break in the 70° minimum streak since early July especially outside NYC. But it will be interesting to see if the more urban sites keep the streak going.

On latest radar I see it's breaking up a little bit. I don't think it's gonna be too bad.

i'm getting everything this year, including cantaloupes i didn't plant, and plum tomatoes i did not plant......due to the cool spring i planted broccoli late but i got a bumper crop just as the heat hit; i've got peppers and eggplant out the wahzoo, but tomatoes are not ready yet. starting to get cherry types now.

my wife got stuck at the costco in north plainfield the other night as did my best friend; didn't get home til midnight; costco acted as a shelter and provided rotisserie chickens, water and cookies for all the stranded folks. they should be commended.

I got a dwarf tomato plant, as I no longer have a back yard, just a balcony. Not too many tomatoes/flowers on the plant. Also there were some that looked ripe on the outside, a nice deep red, but when I sliced them open, they were still green on the inside. Very frustrating.

 

they are still fine to eat.

It is very very difficult for nyc to get <70 in mid summer now. I think we scratch 70 but struggle to get below it. First <70 night will come some time deep into august or even early sept.

More storms heading towards the same area once again. Decent storms by Manila pan as well.  Just missing east of here.

Thankfully that flash flood warned cell weakened and ended up not being a big deal for my area. Just a small downpour and I got only 0.20" here. We'll have to see if the activity in PA causes trouble here later tonight.

Yep.   To think around here the homes were built in the 50's-70's with no central air b/c it was not needed.  Now it's a necessity.

I think there are only 6 out of about 20 on my block with central air. Ours is the oldest but had it added in the late 80s.

Still dry here.

89 today. Played 18 and holy shit it was hot out there.

Middle to Northern Jersey are becoming, frankly, dangerous areas to live. I know a few of you “joked” in the past about it becoming the new tornado alley but it has definitely become a haven for severe thunderstorms and rain inundations.

You get anything down the road? We had a 5 min drizzle earlier and everything else looks north or south for the night
