71 / 69 rain moved through and clouds starting to break.  Could shape up to be a fairly pleasant day but chances of storms continue as front moves through and trough settles in.  Brief reprieve before the humid / furnace returns and enters to end the month.  Sat (7/22) - Tue (7/25) looks very nice near normal (mid - upper 80s) and mainly dry / rain free through Tue (7/25 AM).

 

Western ridge continues to flex pieces of heat east and as the trough over the northeast lifts out and splits due to the backing Western Atlantic Ridge the warm southwest flow will heat the region up Wed (7/26) to close the month.  As the transition occurs return of storms and humidity.  Strong heat from the west >18c peaking >20c in the period will bring the hottest weather of the summer so far.  We'll see with recent heavy rains if the century mark is feasible or out of the question.

 

Beyond there overall warm and humid a strong heat is nearby and trough is back into the GL/NE.  Western Atlantic Ridge will be watched building  west into early August.

Historical:

 

1911 - The temperature at Painter, WY, dipped to 10 degrees to equal the record low for July for the continental U.S. (The Weather Channel)

1934 - The temperature reached 109 degrees at Cincinnati, OH, to cap their hottest summer of record. The state record for Ohio was established that day with a reading of 113 degrees near the town of Gallipolis. (David Ludlum)

1975 - Six inches of rain fell across Mercer County, NJ, in just ten hours causing the worst flooding in twenty years. Assunpink Creek crested eleven feet above flood stage at Hamilton and Trenton, the highest level of record. Traffic was brought to a standstill, and railway service between New York City and Washington D.C. was cut off for two days. Flooding left 1000 persons homeless, and caused an estimated 25 million dollars damage. (David Ludlum)

1987 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Utah to North Dakota, spawning a dozen tornadoes in North Dakota. Thunderstorms in North Dakota also produced baseball size hail at Clifford which caused four million dollars damage, and high winds which toppled a couple of eighty foot towers cutting off power to the town of Blanchard. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

 

1987: An F4 tornado ravages the Teton Wilderness and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The tornado's violent winds destroy millions of trees on a 24.3-mile  track that traverses the Continental Divide at an elevation of 10,170 feet.

1988 - While cool air invaded the central U.S., unseasonably hot weather continued over the western states. The temperature at Spring Valley, NV, soared from a morning low of 35 degrees to an afternoon high of 95 degrees. Fallon, NV, reported an all-time record high of 108 degrees, and Death Valley, CA, reported their sixth straight day of 120 degree heat. (The Weather Channel) (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Afternoon thunderstorms over Florida produced wind gusts to 92 mph at Jacksonville, damaging thirteen light planes at Herlong Field. Five cities in Texas reported record low temperatures for the date. Corpus Christi, TX, equalled their record low for the date with a reading of 71 degrees, and then tied their record high for the date that afternoon with a reading of 97 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

Just landed in Charleston so going to miss whatever comes through tomorrow am. Sitting on the tarmac due to lightning.  Landed just as the storm was moving out

You didn't miss much, and now the models are not showing much for the afternoon. Today is gonna be a disappointment overall, but we saw the signs so it's not a surprise.

Of course you are gonna miss the beautiful weekend with lower humidity up here as you deal with the heat/humidity down there, but I hope you have a good time down there.

We are managing...beats last year no money

 

But the weekend is dry and some big heat on the way starting Wednesday with fairly dry weather the next 7-10 days

Yeah it's all about the beautiful weekend with lower humidity and then the heat late next week. We've been in a wet pattern since late June, but now a break is finally coming. Maybe just an isolated shower/storm on Tuesday. It'll be interesting to see if we can make it to the upper 90s late next week.

Supposed to be 98 with a dewpoint of around 76. When I was out this morning it wasn't terrible yet

Edit looks like they dropped the high temp to 96
