I'd be curious how previous years compare. Monthly avg dewpoints, 2016-2020 July: 67.2, 66.7, 69.9, 70.4, 70.4 August: 67.7, 64.5, 71.8, 68.0, 72.0 (so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one bow echo from hell, it's like half the country! JFC the derecho was a nightmare, I could do without one of those for the rest of my life thank you very much.

You see that persistent Easterly flow and East fetch on some of the modeling. Some wave models bring 8 foot waves into the lower NJ. and Delaware surf zone by the weekend. Strange summer so far. I am just hoping for some NW winds behind a legit early Fall cold front, might need to wait on that. Was at the beach yesterday , and it was a marvelous day with the wife and the kids. Not crowded, surf at about 72 , seagulls didn't eat my pizza . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be surprised to see that set up you mention in September ( even early October ) at some point. I believe in the past we have had cold frontal passages and then the building High to out North and East a few days after providing a pathway for a runner up the coast. Of course the fine line between a curve out to sea , or a real threat to the SE and Mid Atlantic areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 3 of these on the morning radar loop, all from locations I've previously seen. This one in Charles county, one near Havre de Grace in Harford County near the top of the Bay and a 3rd near Wilmington, DE. Again, I think it's swallow (possibly Purple Martin) colonies taking flight in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
