Yes Doc is been very cool at night this month even in the park only four days have had temperatures above 70 degrees for nighttime lows with 73 being the max minimum temp at Central Park. Will probably have the next two nights in the 70s for Lows and that should be it for the end of the month. very cool shot coming up and looks to be one following this for early September. Very rare in this warm and warming climate to have this many cool nighttime minimums.

Weather held for a nice view- It was pretty cool, but totality is definitely the way to go next time, road trip in 2024!

Severe threat today is intense, tornado watch up north, 95% chance of watch issuance in NJ and western NY, the lines look mean, also cape and psc are off the charts as is shear. SPC of 9! Thats supercell criteria they get in midwest, thats NYC area right now.

If you like fall weather you're going to love the next 7 days. Below normal temps for a week. When was the last time that happened in August. A very anomalous trough moving in.

What's impressive is that the models had this timeframe pegged almost 7 days out. Hope we can say the same for our winter season.

Impressive lightning and thunder rolling thru Stillwater nj, no rain but nice light show and thunder, almost a little eerrry,  Ft Lee NJ heading towards you!

80* and dewpoint around 70*. Line of storms moving in. Already getting frequent lightning and ever-increasing crashes of thunder. Should be in for a pretty good storm here in the next 15 minutes.

And it's here. Heavy rain just started and winds are whipping through here.

says storms to my west have 70mph winds, wow. gusty already lightning in distance.

well that was nothing, skunked again. lol

Cool storm down in Seaside Park. Tons of lightning, 1" of rain, although I'm sure it was more since it was blowing sideways! Winds looked like they were going to whip the flags right off their poles.

Got screwed up here in Binghamton. Sweated through the 90 degree heat for nothing lol. Just got some heavy rain, no thunder, no lightning and just a light breeze. Ohh well!

62* tjis morning when I got up at 8:30.
Through early Sept trough over East coast whilst west bakes

Go be very nice weekend. Then we see what's in store for the coming week....

Frank HAPPY BDAY GUY!!
