Are people still working on a way to try and dim the sun?  If I think of any other ways we can "cool" the planet I'll post them.

Continuing the shift away from fossil fuels and deforestation are easy steps. Installing rooftop solar is something each of us can do. Leasing an electric car. We can all do our part. Sure, no single person can change it themselves, just like no single soldier can win a war.

A pretty good cell popped up pretty much right on top of me. Heavy downpour but lasted only a few minutes. Looks like we'll see more later with stuff developing to the southwest as you said.

Thundering here for past hour or two, only .10 inch of rain.

Drove through the hardest rain in a long time.  Had hail on parkway in holmdel, lots of flooding in spots.  Tons of ctg lightning.  Cleared up in Woodbridge.  Is getting extremely dark again to my south now that I'm back home.

2 inches of rain fell here at home today.

took less them 10 minutes for that too pop thats why these type of storms are dangerous especially if you are walking outside and have no place to take shelter quick as these are capable of CTG lightning which

we have experienced today already

[SI Mailman]

Lots of thunder from those cells over middlesex/union counties

[jm1220]

About 0.25”.

.58" on the day here

Man. If there is even a small chance of rain this summer......best believe it's gonna rain. 

[NEG NAO]

dark angry looking sky to my southwest with nothing on radar but just noticed another pop up developing south of 287 near highland park - plenty of thunder in the area - earlier pop up near piscataway plainfield now heavy precip near Elizabeth/Newark - another Flash Flood Warning there

Weird day here in Manhattan. Feels like there's a deflector shield up over the city - storms seem to dissipate or deflect north or south of Manhattan. We've had rumbles and showers, but nothing heavy let alone strong to severe.

Definitely a deflector shield over the city.  The streets of Manhattan are a bit wet but my station in Queens has reported 0.00" so far.  Almost feels like a 7-10 split for now.

model have shown very little east of the hudson....so far they are right-the stuff that got here was dying out so just a few hundreths of an inch

There's been lots of loooong rolling thunder here for the past couple of hours, the kind from lightning that stretches 10 miles or more, but only 0.21" rain in the automated gage.

50-50 in my opinion

Rain on and off, and a lot of thunder for a few hours here in Carteret, right now it’s a deluge and a bit gustier, more lightning.
