sunset

I’m down in Virginia visiting Shenandoah National Park. Smoke restricted views somewhat on an otherwise sunny and comfortable day.

Actually had ash on my property from it. Here is some on my wife's car.

Some hazy, greens shots for you golf guys. (Very dry down here) https://www.massresort.com/play/golf/woodstone-meadows/

View from Iron Valley 2 tee looking north towards Blue Mountain (about 16 miles away)

It doesn't get much better than sitting on the porch with a cold one watching a good storm roll in. One of the more photogenic storms I have ever seen. Extremely heavy rainfall rates and a good push of wind at the front of the storm.

It’s a comin to Havertown. Wind coming in strong

Hey, sorry for the late response. We had our first baby girl on 6/9 (what a ride it's been)! The TUTT is a stationary wave that forms every year and peaks with the Northern Hemisphere's summertime monsoon season. This is when land/sea temp contrasts peak and anticyclones are the most poleward/powerful. The mid-ocean cooling/troughs are a restoring force (driven by evaporational cooling and rotating Earth) of the diabatic warming centered over the Indian and American monsoons (see the climo 300mb temp plot for JJA attached). In addition to this general relationship from land/sea contrasts

My gf is estimating hail between dime and quarter sized at home in West Deptford and sent these pics. Of course I am not home and missing our first direct hit of the summer.

1 or 2 days away from the “hump” where we start seeing averages decline…

Welcome!! And great 1st post! I’m guessing you have some kind of 1st responded/military background due to your military clock usage?! Haha -only use the HRRR inside of 6-8 hours. Beyond that, it’s prone to big swings. - NAM can get weird too outside of 48 hours. 3k NAM I use for about 36-48 hours out. I barely look at the RGEM . any higher resolution model tends to be fickle outside that 48 hour timeframe. Especially any CAM’s (Convection Allowing model, EG; 3k NAM, wrf etc). Gfs tends to be progressive/faster biased, while euro is slower. So most time

Latest in the evening I've ever saw a rainbow. Just about 10 minutes to sunset. That's our church at the top of the hill. Pic doesn't do it justice

The Cliff would be very very full with jumpers. Hope the Figs survived Elsa

Chesapeake grass flats

Rainfall Monitor indicating 7.12" at the office in Bensalem

0.00” imby but nice Mammatus Clouds and rain cooled air 77.7 from nearby storms.

Love how visible the outflow boundaries are. Lots of energy in our atmosphere this afternoon.

In-laws always have great views of weather and sunsets. Storm to the north heading in our direction.

My first post because I want to share this pic from Conshohocken last night! It still pretty much skipped us as usual tho.

Played Cape May National yesterday. I personally like hot weather (I like all weather?), but plenty of trees and a breeze made it enjoyable for everyone. Looking at 17 green from 11 green.

I went outside too late a missed this one as it was moving in. What a beauty. YouCut_20210630_203921596.mp4

What a day, took my younger daughter on the Strasburg Railroad this afternoon. Could haven’t have been more comfortable for a late June day.

Crazy wind here in Plymouth Meeting not much rain and a little thunder

86F - Ocean City

Stopped at the local doughnut shop yesterday, picked up 1 dozen freshly made. I love Dutch apple while the wife loves anything chocolate. Enjoyed one with my coffee yesterday morning. So I wake up this morning finding no doughnuts!? All I find is an empty box on the floor, and my wife and 3 dogs passed out on the sofa. It's a cruel start to the morning. 1 mugshot attached.

GFS advertising some lows in the 50's for the burbs next weekend. Would be a coup to be able to turn off the AC during July.

normal 15 min commute took over 50 mins tonight, some serious flooding along & just off State Road in Bensalem & Croydon Haunted Lane along the Neshaminy as particularly dicey, never made it all the thru. The # of stalled out cars littering the roads was ridiculous Crazy afternoon, last I experienced over 6", non-tropical, was Jun 1996 At home in LMT - 1.82" today

Came in hot and heavy for about 15 minutes, IMG_8321.mp4

Here’s what it looks like from Gilbertsville looking east toward those storms.

And the rainbow

Heavy rain and some wind, nothing terrible.

Happy 4th to you all! ENJOY!

Quite a sight with the fog on the hilltops and sun setting.

Some pics from Black Lake. Don't always get the big one.

From NOAA SPC Mesoscale analysis description of hail params chart: Today we didn't have much CAPE due to the smoke, but plenty of shear thanks to the front, I did not get a chance to look at heights, might be able to dig out a good t skew. In this storm the vertically integrated liquid metric was maxxed big time, so that's a cross between tall clouds, massive moisture density, and the cape/shear combo fuel for it. I would guess there were probably downbursts associated with that storm given those params as well, probably some of the severe wind associated with it. Doesn't totally answe

Been super busy the last couple days so I couldn't track this event closely, but someone captured this hail photo maybe 5 miles from my house. Can someone explain what parameters were in place that allowed for the hail to get so large? I would appreciate it, it's just that it's rare to get hail of any size down here but to see hail that large is almost unheard of. Wasn't sure if it was due to CAPE, shear, etc.

Found this lovely guy lurking near my grill this morning. About 1 1/2" long. I'm no expert, but I'm guessing those pincers mean business.

Best storm of the year IMBY. WORST timing. Lol.

The 7/17-7/21 timeframe is the so called meat of the heat climo wise at Philadelphia. Low 90's during July are irrelevant at this point but 95+ is still noteworthy & there are clear long term trends in that regard. Find a couple of 80's during the period & you're playing with house money.

Not sure if it's been posted here or if many were aware, but on the NWS Mount Holly site they now have a link to a neat Rainfall Monitor https://www.weather.gov/phi/rainfall-monitoring

Just hitting here now. Nice, fairly chilly breeze and rain. No lightning or thunder.

Hey everyone, been planning to propose tonight 7/8 near AC, what are my chances of getting rained on?

incoming

Noticed there wasn't a thread yet for this summer so I figured I'd start one with the Yellowstone scenery. First time I've been there in 20 years. Still the most incredible place on earth.

I will gladly take a cloudy cool weekend or rainy cool weekend
