Taking a break from posting the temp map... Lots of moisture from Tropical system about to hit Eastern Texas.
Current tracks on the left... You don't even need the image on the right to understand why it's taking that path. SE Ridge parked and strong so the upper currents are directing it like so. Looks like Mid Atlantic in the game for moisture but so is NJ since its close.
A Cat 4 in June. I wonder if that was because of Global Warming or Fossil Fuels burning back then too. lol I bet headlines weren't "blaming" the climate changing for it.
Any hail from that storm? That looks very intense.
Nope, I didn't see any hail and none has been reported in the region. Just moderate to heavy rain. However minor flooding did occur. Pic from my town this morning:
Unfortunately we won't know how much rain fell, as the pluviometer at the official weather station didn't send its hourly observation (must be no coincidence).
You can say that again.. "odd" because we don't typically see this.. Looks like we need surface winds from the north and mid-upper level winds from West or South for this to happen. Here too. Dews dropped from the early morning and temps rose into the 80s. I can't be outside yet so I'm like a hermit doing projects inside. A/C constantly turning on to keep home cool. Horrible outside. Mid 80s with dewpoint of 60.
Even this is horrible? Bedroom was 73°F when I left at 2 pm and closed the windows. Sitting outside at a table in the shade, fells relaxing. Can I call it dry heat?

It looks like the latest tracks are taking the storm further west. Forecast rainfall amounts have been lowered here over the next week.

My grandparents talk about how bad Hurricane Audrey was here.
I don't know, do you call 70s and low 80s heat? . And 50DP is not dry.
My backyard dew point is 58° still just too much green and plants. lol. So no dry heat here.

That's a good criteria I might agree with.. He's close in the upper 40s. What would the temp criteria be though? Above 85°? In fact, Concord is considered dry heat right now. I'd lower it to nothing above 40DP
=======================
Interesting Dewpoints out there... New England in the 30s & 40s while temps are in the 70s & 80s..
On the right are the 4pm OBS for Bangor, Concord, Islip & D.C.
Concord 83° with a 39° dew point.
Washington D.C "Towering Cumulus" and feels like 97°F
Look at the wind differences between them.
