  1. A quick but intense storm just ripped through here, lost power for a few moments after a close lightning strike. Temp down to 78F as a result!
  2. Temp down to 86F, I can see lightning to the north. A breeze is kicking up, looks like some sort of outflow boundary passing through.
  3. 94F/75DP. Getting an occasional cloud now and then.
  4. We do excessive rains well around here. Got down to 78F last night, already 85F at 9am.
  5. I read somewhere that the current +PDO could lead to a nice August. Of course, it's never wise to put all your eggs into one teleconnection's basket. And while it might be a pleasant August for the nation at large, I'm sure the +AMO will throw a wrench into things for us on the coastal plain.
  6. 96F/72DP. Dropped all the way down to 77F overnight. Enough of this chit, give me 33F and rain.
  7. It's a strange summer -- I'm under an excessive heat warning, yet have mushrooms popping up in the yard from all the rain. Wonder how high temps would have climbed this weekend if it had been a dry summer with the ground baked solid? Heard my first katydids last night, we're in deep summer now.
  8. Rain just started here. The clouds kept the temp in check today, only reaching 84F. But with a 75dp, it didn't matter much.
  9. Yeah, the Euro bumped east. Also interesting is it has the low over the Delmarva @ 192 hours. Who knows how it will play out, but something to track for now.
  10. Hearing my first cicadas this afternoon. I'm sure the katydids aren't too far behind.
  11. Getting the seven-ten split here as the best of these storms are passing to my north and south. The most impressive part was the gust front, but even that was probably only in the 30-35mph range. Nothing more than a heavy shower with some thunder & lightning. Maxed out at 88F again, down to 79F now. Looks like the 18Z NAM wants to bring another line through later tonight.
  12. No rain here yet, but temp down to 78F after a high of 88F today. Hearing some rumbles in the distance.
  13. Backloaded summer ftw...September will rock! Saw my first lightning bug last weekend.
  14. Ha! If Elliot isn't around, try JB--maybe he can whip up a protein shake.
  15. C'mon guys...some duct tape, a little WD-40 and we can make the Cherry Hill radar the bestest ever!
  16. Latest ideas from Accuwx on the summer... Temps +2-3 above avg. While there may be more 90F+ days than last summer, there should be fewer 70F+ overnight mins. Precip below avg. Isolated serve with mod to high risk areas off to our south and west.
  17. Early summer 2019 thoughts from AccuWx: Temps +1-2 above avg, near normal precip (which would actually feel dry considering this past year!)
  18. Accuwx going with a warm, wet autumn for us with perhaps some tropical mischief. Sounds like the current pattern keeps rolling along.
  19. July-Sept update... AccuWx going with temps and precip averaging near normal for our region. Bouts of severe wx still possible but the worst of it looks to be upstate NY and New England.
  20. A quick follow up to the post above... Looks like their summer forecast is a continuation of the May-July period -- temps slightly above average with near normal precip. The big heat looks to stay out west over the Rockies. Above normal precip to our west/southwest (Ohio Valley region), this would lead to below average temps there. All in all, I could live with this. Not a fan of those summers where the AC runs weeks on end.
  21. Bump... Just read Paul Pastelok's (AccuWx) thoughts on the May-July period. He's going with normal to slightly above normal temps. Cooling energy usage will be near average. Looks like near normal precipitation with below normal severe (but there will be some). Confidence is moderate. His June-Aug ideas will be out next week.
  22. Lolz!! Now we know why we don't see more of Storm Ranger 10 ... http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/entertainment/television/Report-NBC-Bostons-Storm-Ranger-weather-truck-is-actually-based-in-Philly.html
  23. Umm ... tomorrow night at 11:00, Ch 6 is issuing it's February Winter Outlook. Isn't winter about half over, and by tomorrow night, about 25% of Feb will be in the books?? Wonder if they'll go with BN temps and AN snowfall??
  24. Paul, does Wxsim forecast wind speeds? Just wondering what it's showing for gusts with this storm. Thanks!
  25. So, how 'bout that JB? (Just trying to get this thread back on topic.)
