That western batch just moved through, a total of .17 through the tipper, 46/42

Agreed. There was a nice batch of rain out near Scranton but the bulk of it is going to my north, I just getting clipped by the southern edge. Time will tell what happens with that batch out in western PA.

Yeah, I still have plenty of mud that argues against D1, along with measured precipitation stats to back it up. That said, I do not know the metrics that the Drought Monitor uses. We'll see what happens after leaf out and with the future pattern.

Looking at the past 12 months: Actual: 40.96" KMGJ average: 40.99" My average over 20 years: 45.25"

I noticed that the past two months have had above normal precip so that got me to dig in a bit on the water year (starts Oct 1). Here are my numbers over that period: Actual: 16.13" KMGJ average: 18.22" My average over 20 years: 20.24" So we are below average in this neck of the woods but nothing crazy it todays climate.

.91 up here and a tremendous long lasting clap of rolling thunder around 10pm. It lasted so long I was questioning if it even thunder for a few seconds.

78 for the high up here.

76/61 under sunny skies.

From this afternoons SPC update: ...Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast... Model guidance indicates weak buoyancy across the Mid-Atlantic states into the Northeast ahead of the cold front. Appreciable heating has occurred through midday with temperatures rising through the upper 70s deg F. Despite some mixing of boundary-layer moisture, SBCAPE 500-1000 J/kg will support scattered storms developing this afternoon. Steepened 0-2 km lapse rates and moderate low to mid-level flow will probably yield scattered damaging gusts later this afternoon into the evening (55-65 mph).

The dew point is above the dreaded, for some of us, 60 degree line.

From the SPC update: ...Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast... Instability is expected to weaken with northward extent ahead of the cold front across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Still, scattered thunderstorms should develop this afternoon and spread east-northeastward towards the coast through the evening. With enhanced low/mid-level flow present in association with the lead shortwave trough, some of this convection may pose a threat for damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two, before it eventually moves offshore.

Down to 61

That's was kinda wild, sitting outside, 75 degrees and then the more northerly winds won out and we could feel the cool air moving in like walking into air conditioning, down to 68 now and dropping quickly.

76 here, that 55 is 10 miles to my NNE

The battleground between air masses is right above here, kinda wild with battling wind directions.
