Yes Mom I have 8.80".
Do not know how accurate since when I came home from vacation I had leaves and other debris comging up the train gage intake.

so while you were having some awesome storms here yesterday, I was sitting in PNC Park in a light drizzle last night. Temps in the low 60's and windy, I was FREEZING! Considering it was hot and muggy in the morning, I'm sure to come down with a cold in a day or 2.... looking forward to a warmer dry week this week.

Good afternoon. We have determined that an EF-1 tornado touched down last evening in northwestern Burlington County, NJ with the line of severe thunderstorms that moved through the area. For more info: https://t.co/guYxwfTHI6 ️#NJwx pic.twitter.com/ZubArkIc9h

Here comes the smoke from the fires out west.
Nothing new with this.

The density of smoke in the lowest 10m of the atmosphere (that’s where we are) will increase later today. This will result in visibly hazy conditions and poor air quality throughout the NYC Metro. Take it easy out there. pic.twitter.com/F2aCRdOTOX

All this smoke and haze in the air is setting for a Spectacular sunset

It rained here steady and hard for eight minutes around 11 am. So far that was it. I finished a curtain drain around the house. I was hoping to see it in use. A good test of heavy rain and all that.

I am afraid to wish for rain given what happened in Germany and now in China.

Looks like we’re kinda, sorta missing the next heat wave

That map showed all of southern Jersey with some potential to 'cash in' on the heat wave. Luckily as of this morning, the 15 day Shorecast looks rather mild, especially after this weekend. Only 2-3 days with a high temp expected to hit 85 or higher. I'm sure a few of those days will be low humidity...this Wednesday looks particularly pleasant.

I grew up in South Florida where you don't have nice summer days. And summer starts the day spring break ends and it stops some 6-7 months later and the only break you get is when there is a significant tropical storm nearby. Then the day before/after could be beautiful! Otherwise, we just wait for that magical morning in late October/early November when you walk outside and the humidity doesn't instantly attack your skin and hair! Ha ha.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Is anyone else seeing a crazy amount of lightning north of nyc?

Going to be a coold end of July and Start to Aug as the AO crashes.

It was as I think Janet has said a real gullywasher a few days ago. Spritzing now

what are people thinking about the severe weather threat today, spc seems relatively bullish

I personally havent looked at anything in any details, but here is their maps. You're right they do seem bullish

saw that and figured I would ask for the opinion of some of the folks here as you seem to know your stuff

Just got a tornado warning for my area on my phone.

Just got another tornado warning on my phone - not sure if this is a repeat of the prior warning, or a new one.

Interestingly, I have channel 7 on, and they are saying the tornado warnings are for Hunterdon and Essex counties.  I am in Morris county, so who is wrong?

edit: There is no current tornado warning from NWS in my area of Morris County, so obviously the alert system is messed up!

Torn hit Ewing and Trenron NJ.
EPA Bucks County and Montgomery got hammered.

Crazy to see this in the Trenton area

One of those tornados was not far south of me, maybe about ten miles near New Hope PA. We just had torrential rains and lightning here. The one that hit Bensalem PA and moved into Mercer Co looks very devastating. Saw images of a car dealership torn to shreds.

Well the SPC got it right for central and southern NJ, got barely anything here in NNJ. A few rumbles of thunder, no wind, and .36" of rain.... My Mom is vacationing in Spring Lake, and I called to make sure she was on the first floor in the interior of the building, was a close call there.

7 Tornadoes on EPA and NJ peeps. Earth is a changing and its not you nor me but the star that gives us life and controls our planet - the Sun.
About 80 and low 60's for temps this entire, low humidity. 50's for interior areas.
Perfect summer weather!!

What a beautiful morning. Had the windows open and woke up to cool, fresh air. Almost felt like an early-Fall day. Another nice night ahead, but tomorrow looks showery.

Yes, a beautiful night last night and a beautiful day today. It got down to 49 here. I was outside early, around 6 am but I had to go back in at 8 to warm up. Tonight, it may be 47. A reminder fall is coming
