Looks like the measurable weekend rain pattern that started in April will continue into August. Impressive cool shot heads for the Plains next weekend. So you can bet there will be convection ahead of the front in our area.

Of course this will be the big severe outbreak now that I'm leaving the country for the week

Western Atl Ridge building west being hinted on some guidance Aug on/around Aug 7 as the coolest/trough is centered of over the mid west/GL

 

 

Nothing too extreme in the heat department for the first week of August. Next few days looks like upper 80's to low 90's. The weekend cold front should drop temps to the 80-85 range for a few days.

It looks like a great stretch of weather after paying the piper 6 days the end of Jul.  One thing - getting a bi drier again here.

Yeah, getting drier here also. Noticed the models backed off on the convection potential with the weekend front. Looks like  scattered storms with some places maybe not seeing much rain.

August starting off warm but nothing like 2006 when my station recorded a 100 degree high temp on each of the first three days!

Yeah, that was the last time we hit 100 in August. It was quite a streak back in the early 2000's with nothing since then.

Newark August 100 degree days since 2000:

2001...3

2002...1

2005...2

2006...3

I would extend that west. Even here in the city the soil moisture is gone. Had to start hand watering again on campus. Moving forward it looks very dry which is fairly typical along the coast. Water temps took a hit with the nor'easter that wasn't too.

need a stalled front or some sort of juicy cold front otherwise it's going to get really dry along the coast.  Grass is burning out quick here...only about .50 here in the last 2-3 weeks.

It's a bit out, but I hope we have a brilliant clear sky for the eclipse on the 21st!

Guaranteed to be mostly cloudy or overcast

I remember a partial eclipse when I was in school long ago, specifically I remember the overcast sky. It got darker like twilight for a short period of time and was immensely craptacular for everybody.

Catholic school so they wouldn't even let us outside to see the somewhat dimming sky lol
