Boring (nice) weather continues, tropics heating up!


No rain fell in my backyard but some heavy showers did occur north and west of here, over those areas it was a bad evening to be out on a motorcycle.

Warm and dry weather should continue into the weekend. I am now tracking a new tropical depression that will more than likely become Isaac, some computer models have the storm move through the Caribbean and then up towards the Florida’s east coast, plenty of time to keep an eye on Isaac..

Finally humidity levels are going down!


Yesterday we again had high humidity with dew points in the 70s, not much in the way of rain as we only recorded .02″ in a late evening shower, the flooding rains were mainly confined to extreme southern New Jersey.

A cold front is moving through and already this morning the dew points have lowered in the more comfortable 60s, this lower humidity will continue through Monday but temperatures will still be quite warm. Tuesday into Wednesday humidity will start to rise a bit again along with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Nice on Thursday but another front will cause more showers on Friday. Next weekend looks very pleasant.

Humidity remains along with a chance of thunderstorms!


Well the forecast made yesterday was a little bit of a bust as all the rain fell in about a three hour period from 11am to 2pm where I recorded 1.18″ of rain during that time and we had no rain this rest of the afternoon and at night. No severe weather occurred in this area but Long Island had a weak tornado, Connecticut also had some wind damage.

This morning the dew points are still in the oppressive mid 70s and they should stay high as a cold front slowly approaches from the west. There is a 50% chance of thunderstorms during the day that still may contain very heavy rain.

Hopefully we can clear out a little bit tonight as the peak of the Perseid meteor shower happens overnight, conditions will be better on Sunday night for viewing any of that activity.
