  1. Anyone able to post the Top 5 wettest Augusts months? EWR, NYC, LGA, TTN, JFK, PHL? For NYC 18 inches in 2011 was number 1 for August.
  2. 15 - 19 inches in Savannah or between Savannah and Charleston on latest, truly historic tremendous impacts to the large port regions Jacksonville - Savannah - Charleston
  3. Has the are in the 5-7 half Tue PM - Fri AM , then Sat-Sun Am
  4. Aug rain totals so far: LGA: 1.95 EWR: 1.82 JFK: 1.64 NYC: 1.42 ISP: 1.14 TTN: 0.95 PHL: 0.77
  5. 75 73 warm and humid. Driest and hottest day through Wed (8/14), Mid 90s, some warmer spots may tough upper 90s (97). Warm and humid, but clouds and showers return/begin tomorrow in what will be one of the wettest stretches in August since 2011. As tropical flow along a hung up boundary and then Debby;s remnants push >5 inch totals and as much as 9-10 inches in spots. Overall humid and rainy through Sat (8/10). Beyond Debby near normal and heat capped out west. Beyond mid month to the final 1/3 of the month western heat expanding north. Could be one of the wettest August.
  6. Track is meandering near GA/SC, Even slower with Debby / Debby's remnants northward movement.
  7. Records: Highs: EWR: 100 (1993) NYC: 100 (1944) LGA: 99 (1944) JFK: 93 (2006) Lows: EWR: 58 (1945) NYC: 55 (1874) LGA: 62 (1964) JFK: 57 (1964) Historical: 1882 - A vivid aurora was visible from Oregon to Maine, down the east coast as far as Mayport FL, and inland as far as Wellington KS. Observers at Louisville KY noted merry dancers across the sky, and observers at Saint Vincent, MN, noted it was probably the most brilliant ever seen at that location. (The Weather Channel) 1930 - The temperature at Moorefield, WV, soared to 112 degrees to establish a state record, having reached 110 degrees the previous day. Widespread drought after April of that year caused some towns to haul water for domestic use, and many manufacturing plants were barely operational. (The Weather Channel) 1961 - Spokane, WA, reached an all-time record high of 108 degrees. Kalispell, MT, set an all-time record with a reading of 105 degrees. (The Weather Channel) 1980 - A record forty-two consecutive days of 100 degree heat finally came to an end at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. July 1980 proved to be the hottest month of record with a mean temperature of 92 degrees. There was just one day of rain in July, and there was no measurable rain in August. There were 18 more days of 100 degree heat in August, and four in September. Hot weather that summer contributed to the deaths of 1200 people nationally, and losses from the heat across the country were estimated at twenty billion dollars. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1987 - A cold front brought relief from the heat to a large part of the Midwest, while hot weather continued in the south central and eastern U.S. Morning thunderstorms in Nebraska deluged the town of Dalton with 8.71 inches of rain, along with hail three inches in diameter, which accumulated up to four feet deep near the town of Dix. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from eastern Iowa to Lower Michigan during the afternoon and evening hours, producing golf ball size hail and spawning several tornadoes. A thunderstorm at Maquoketa, IA, produced wind gusts to 75 mph. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from eastern Nebraska and northeastern Kansas to the Great Lakes Region, with 150 reports of large hail or damaging winds during the afternoon, evening, and nighttime hours. Thunderstorms produced tennis ball size hail at Claremont, MN, and wind gusts to 75 mph at Milwaukee, WI. Thunderstorms representing what once was Hurricane Chantal produced five inches of rain at Grant, MI, and deluged Chicago, IL, with more than three inches of rain in three hours. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 2008: Severe storms moved across northern Illinois and Indiana with tornadoes and stiff winds reported. With tornado sirens blaring, the game at Wrigley Field between Cubs and Astros was stopped as fans were told to evacuate to the lower concourse. Passengers at O’Hare International Airport were evacuated to lower levels of buildings as well. An estimated 350 flights were canceled.
  8. Highs: TEB: 88 EWR: 86 PHL: 85 ACY: 85 BLM: 84 LGA: 84 New Brnswck: 83 NYC: 83 ISP: 82 JFK: 81
  9. The GFS builds the Atlantic ridge back west further than most guidance and pushes Debby into the Pan Handle, Debby would have to come back north at some point 13/14th. The heaviest rains come Wed-Fri from the tropical flow/ boundary Predecessor Rain Event (PRE). NHC seems to have slowed their forecast down from earlier and has Debby west of Myrtle Beach Fri PM.
  10. My bad i read that as 90 degree day departures. Lets look at that map Aug 11th
  11. 78 / 74 here and some brightening skies but think clearing isnt long enough to push 90, we'll wee. THe wetter prior two days also hindering. Tomorrow one day heat this week and perhaps into the following week.
  12. Not sure how this is calculated but EWR, PHL, TTN, New brnswck all above th average # 90 degree days through AUg 3
  13. Could see some 96-97 tomorrow in the warm spots. Its probably the highest mas through 8/14 and maxes come down but would never rule out a day or two of stronger heat later past the mid month period.
  14. Id vote this warrants its own thread - we could be on Floyd/Irene level flooding with some of the more severe forecasts being modeled.
  15. Rainfall amounts > 6 inches starting to ring of Irene and Floyd flooding levels. Talking strictly rainfall and flooding not track or storm / wind, surge etc
  16. Certainly for the next 10 days f not till next year once we get passed Monday. 2006 had the deluges and still had heat and you wonder if that western furnace comes east after mid month. We'll need a 3 week period to dry out.
  17. Good thing we had some "drier" under performing weeks. Even if half of this falls - its an excessive rainfall
  18. 76 / 72 and 1.59 in the bucket yesterday. Cloudy and more storms later today, perhaps some breaks in the clouds but mostly cloudy keeping it in the mid 80s. Driest and sunniest day tomorrow and the hottest day for the next week to 10 days. Mid to upper 90s in the warm spots. By Tue showers and storms return but remaining warm / humid clouds keeping it in the mid - upper 80s and a few stray 90 readings. Wed (8/7) - Sat (8/10) very wet with tropical moisture and remnants of Debby meandering around the Southeast slowly creeping north as its blocked from the Atlantic Ridge expanding west. Track of Debby and its remnants could lead to >5 inches of rain by Sunday. Heat is capped till mid month when western ridge and heat expand east with next hot signal towards / after mid month.
  19. Records: Highs: EWR: 101 (2006) NYC: 97 (2005) LGA: 100 (2006) JFK: 99 (2006) Lows: EWR: 57 (1953)/ NYC: 55 (1927) LGA: 59 (1953) JFK: 56 (1964) HIstorical: 1885 - A tornado hit Philadelphia and Camden along its eight mile path. (David Ludlum) 1970 - Hurricane Celia struck the coast of Texas producing wind gusts to 161 mph at Corpus Christi, and estimated wind gusts of 180 mph at Arkansas Pass. The hurricane was the most destructive of record along the Texas coast causing 454 million dollars damage, and also claimed eleven lives. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1987 - A severe thunderstorm moved across Cheyenne, WY, during the mid afternoon. The thunderstorm produced hailstones up to two inches in diameter causing more than 37 million dollars damage. The eastern U.S. sweltered in the heat. A dozen cities reported record high temperatures for the date, including Paducah KY with a reading of 102 degrees. Beckley WV established an all- time record with an afternoon high of 93 degrees. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms developing ahead of a slow moving cold front produced severe weather from the Central High Plains to the Upper Great Lakes Region. Thunderstorms around Fort Collins, CO, produced wind gusts to 74 mph along with marble size hail. Sixteen persons were injured in the storm, most of whom were accidently locked out of their office building, having evacuated it when the fire alarm went off, apparently triggered by lightning. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms representing what remained of Hurricane Chantal drenched Wichita, KS, with 2.20 inches of rain in four hours during the early morning.
