Unfortunately, where the worst of the drought is in South Jersey has seen little to no rain. Cape May still sits at 0 for the event.
-
Temps mid-upper 90s in south jersey already and it's only a little after 11 am!
-
Still 177K out according to the tracker - the vast majority being JCP&L. This has ended up quite serious for some communities - lots of people sitting in heat and humidity with no AC and once 24 hours hits, you start looking at a lot of food spoilage just as some freezers might be stocked for 4th of July. Hopefully there are cooling centers available. Stay safe.

Almost 239,000 outages in NJ currently, down a little from 256,000 earlier. That's insane. This is going to be a while for those affected, I'm afraid. https://projects.nj.com/data/outagetracker/

That is one hell of a map. I would expect problems on a night like tonight, but JCP&L has the worst record of keeping lights on. They are always the highest outages measured by percentage of their total customers.

The 60 mph winds missed me. But the dog is an absolute mess from the thunder and we picked up 2/3" of rain. I'm having to sit with the poor thing in our home office with music going. And if they start shooting fireworks later at Lake Mohawk, I'm in for a long evening. Hope you get your lights back on. Good times. Stay safe.

Down to 71 from a recorded high of 100! The 100 is probably a couple degrees high due to the sunny location of the sensors.
-
Deluge in Sparta. Not a ton of wind so far but plenty of lightening and thunder.
-
It looks like the dewpoints are starting to pull back in some locations.
-
Heat indexes are 120+ in that very southwest corner of NJ. Must be a lot of corn or some other local confluence. Readings are 105-115 elsewhere. The humidity so far does not seem any less today. Without clouds, someone makes a run at 105-107 on official stations. Stay hydrated.
-
Gross this afternoon. Rutgers stations already have 110+ heat indexes showing up in spots.
-
I think there is a chance of that, especially northern NJ. There's currently a huge blob of heavy rain and storms heading southeast out of Canada. It'll be interesting to track what if anything holds together or redevelops.
-
I'm having all sorts of issues too. Almost gave up reading anything tonight as it was taking forever to load. I got a "Bad Gateway" error also.
-
Another drencher last night - I had 1.8" the Lafayette gauge and 1.85" in the gauge here. Nice training thunderstorms. Too bad they didn't make it further south.
-
That's wild. Look how close the 3.35" amount is to the 1.36 and the 0.98", geographically speaking. Can't be more than a mile or two. West Central Morris County - Jackpot.
-
Picked up another 1.35" overnight from downpours. It appears to have been very localized and I got lucky this time.
-
0.40" here for the day. Better than nothing, but well under some of the models.
-
I didn't realize how much warmer it was south of here. That could help you guys out tremendously if it can hold together.
-
0.17" so far. Convective activity and severe will be more likely to the south when/if it develops. It's been running 61-65 here all morning and afternoon, even upper 50s in a few spots. Meanwhile, the Delmarva is in the 90s. It's actually quite a temperature difference over 100 miles.
-
It's backfilling a little bit, and pouring here. We'll see what the rest of it as it swings in from the SW. NNJ looks like it's got a shot maybe.
-
Hmmm. But the heating usually helps build the storms. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's less likely. I just picked up 0.02" with the showers that clipped north jersey. I don't think that will be it but this is contingent on some factors coming together, and they don't always. I'm watching the area now over W. Virginia and eastern Kentucky to see how that does and if it builds more as it moves east northeast. Also the area way back in Tennessee and Arkansas would give some potential if it holds and /or redevelops.
-
I'm not really sure where the convection will come from to produce these thunderstorms. With overcast skies, it maybe reaches the low-mid 70s at best, so there will be little heating up of the surface.
-
They keep showing a split with a screw zone in the middle. It's a riot to see 2.5" and 0.2" within 50 miles.
-
It's probably going to be the typical northern track of the bulk of the precip, while we wait to see what develops to the south of the main area. And if it's too cloudy tomorrow, will that stunt development? Probably.
-
Possibly a split situation? - A main area into NY state and another smaller area into south central PA into central NJ, with bupkis in between. Both maps are suggestive, and it's happened plenty of times before.
