August 2020 Observations and Discussion

No rain up here today. A lovely albeit humid day.

GFS says normalcy to some below normal temps for the remainder of the month of August?? Time will tell. Looks like a SECS to HECS pattern shaping up LOL!

Steady rain here .25" so far. Grass and vegetable garden enjoying this.

63* here now beautiful temps

After watching lots of Rodia channel I am learning the strange beliefs of older Italians, some are hilarious (no offense meant, everyone has their beliefs), Frank I highly suggest you subscribe to his channel. I hope it stays cool, I cannot take these ridiculous heat anymore. Fall is right around the corner but I know it will be hot through the fall at least on and off.

Over an inch of rain here in Seaside Park, winds at 18-20, gusts to 30 mph. Just like a tropical storm! lol Glad the heat broke for my vacation!

Overcast all day and was windy about 2 hours ago

High temp 69*

Rain .55"

Wind 12mph

Late September day feel

Something new and different today.A COOL morning.Cloudy, calm, 54 degrees.
Seeing the first splashes of color in the early maples up here that turn first.Noticeably shorter days as well.Little over a month to Fall.Looking forward to the end of this relentlessly hot summer.

Yes sir. Looks like the 500mb pattern is one that should keep here or around here for less humid and lower high temps for a bit. Yesterday, even though rained all day, was mid to upper 60’s all day. August 15th and felt my first taste of fall. Not bad.

About to get Hammered in Ft Lee on the 24th Floor, Bronx Heading to you !

Lightning, Rain and Midnight Dark !

WOW did I get hit good - multiple t-storms from 7PM till about 8:15, still raining but Thunder and lightening are done - heavy rains thunder & lots of lightening.

Picked up 1.35" from this and 1.85" for today.

Ground needed it!

Very powerful T Storm woke me from a dead sleep at 2AM.Lightening, thunder, high wind and torrential downpour lasting 15 or 20 minutes.

What he said. Only 30 minutes later.

Same. Right at 2 am. Heard rumbles as it approached then after 2 it hit full force.

Same with us. Only it was my kids waking me up to check the radar t about 3:30am. Once up thunder was decent.

HOLY SMOKES WHAT A STORM!! TORRENTIAL IS NOT THE WORD

POSSIBLE TORNADO TOUCH DOWN IN REDBANK...2 TOWNS OVER...WARNINGS HERE UNTIL 10:30
