A cloudless deep blue sky and 75 degrees. Not pool weather, but very comfortable out there.

barely reached 70 degrees here today. Pool temp down to 72

Low 90's in DC, mid 80's here and 64 in Boston with drizzle. This is why I could never live in NE and summer days like this trump 2' blizzards in my book. Was in the pool after doing yard work earlier and enjoyed a beautiful summer day. In Boston I'd be miserable. 85 and sunny here and also 85 in the pool after using the heater this morniong.

Yup, the whole time I've been up here so far (since June 4th) has been pretty miserable weatherwise. We had probably 2 nice days (Sunny and 70's), and the rest were cloudy/showery/cool with temperatures in the 50's/60's.

Some storms near Harrisburg approaching. Let's see if they make it to NJ.

Have not hit higher than mid 70s since June 6th. Mostly a cloudy day here today with temperatures in the 70s. Currently 67.

storms missin me jus to my north

Areas north and east of the city have been the places seeing the bulk of the storm activity this spring, same situation tonight.

Storms are miising me by about 10 miles to my north, so far. Could really use the water here.

Several flood advisories and flash flood warnings in areas that are getting trained with storms up north and onto LI. Here we are in the warm humid air and have been since mid morning, so no real rain threat. Storms in Pa died because they needed the heat of day but storms north of NYC are frontal boundary driven so they have plenty of support. Basically a very summery warm to hot and humid day, west, south and SW of NYC with temps to the mid 90's in the MA.

I have not done badly with rain at all. I only added water to my pool once since mid May and it was a minimal amount. Had I waited out this weeks storm I would not even have needed to add water. My lawn looks great and even on one side of my driveway in the far front, where we lost a sprinkler zone to the pool and the area is too small to be concerned, that grass is vivid green and looks great. Picked up 1.35" of rain earlier this week from the MW storm and next day brief ULL storms.

I have 1.42" for June thus far. While not a deluge, it's certainly adequate for not even mid-month, and the vegeation around here is lush and green.

Warm humid airmass looks like it'll be stronger this week than projected earlier by models so I'd expect a warmer week than any forecast from yesterday or earlier and probably the hottest weekend of the season coming up next weekend. Coolest day is probably Wednesday with a potential east flow but that's about it for sub 80 weather IMO. 95 potential next weekend.

Robbbs - same here re lush landscape. This is one of the highest vegetation growth seasons I've ever seen and I think it's because it was so early a start. I got my preen down too late. Most years I barely have a weed but this seasons early germination meant that down here at least you needed preen down before March 15th. I had snow on the ground at that point. I remember seeing my perrenials in bare or lesser snow spots already growing as the snow was melting down and when we got the mid March rain that melted the rest of the snow I had perrenials popping up everywhere, meaning they were growing under the snowpack.

Yea the rain earlier this week was a nice help, I picked up about .9 inches. Unfortunately that was my first rain in 3 weeks. It is beginning to look like this weekend will also not feature the quantity of showers that were forecast.

..KERR.. 06/13/2010

Looks like plenty of activity moving into Jersey from eastern Pa. Hope it holds together and reaches long Island with more than wimper.

Starting to pour here in Flushing, with plenty of rain looking to give us a good drenching rain. I'm glad because we really need it here.

BTW - Looks like a nasty little cell over I-80 in Warren County near the Del Water Gap...

Looks like it had some type of bow echo with it, or hook echo indication, at least from this radar..

Parents reported 2 good storms in Newton. Around 1.80" total.

Wow, meanwhile I have so far received .01 of an inch.

I see lower to mid 90's next weekend, in increasingly moist and humid W to SW flow. Front should get hung up next weekend, as it becomes parallel to the upper flow, so I see a slower frontal passage, and hence both weekend days in the 90's.

Was at the Yankee game today. Nice afternoon until the rains came in and we had to take shelter.

All we had here today was .04". The heavy stuff ran south of us in the real warm to hot air in SW NJ and northern part of the showers just fell apart as they came SE.

I did not hear or see any thunder or lightning in warren or morris. For me it was just a few heavy downpours.

Only got 0.44" here




had thunder but no lightning

Simply overcast outside and muggy. Reminds me of Miami weather.

Only got .25 out of these forecasted thunderstoms from last night and early this morning, and Sat. night,a totally busted forecast.
