Well with the tremendous flooding event on Monday morning, I got behind checking out all the reports and counting all the raindrops in my rain gauge (lol) so I have another 2 day somewhat condensed report for Monday and Tuesday. Also the All Star game and home run derby took up a bit of my spare time to catch the action.  At least Monday was a lot cooler, but early morning unusually timed and strong  storms that marched down I-270…

Well with the holiday weekend over, I find that I am two reports behind (Friday and Saturday), plus the one for this Sunday. So I will do my usual condensed version that will cover all 3 days.  Friday was almost as hot as Thursday and just as humid, but with only light showers (0.03 inches) during the partly cloudy afternoon.  We  managed to barely get over 90 in the later mid-afternoon after an early morning min in the lower mid 70s….

Fourth of July Thursday was as hot as Wednesday, but even more humid, with mid-afternoon thunderstorms (0.63 inches) that turned a partly cloudy day in the AM into a mostly cloudy one during most of the PM, which affected the visibility of the local evening fireworks shows. We did manage to get over 90 in the early afternoon before the clouds and storms rolled in around 1400 , but then dropped through the 80s and held in the mid-upper 70s…

July started out with a relatively pleasant start after a hot, humid ending to the month of June. Bright sunny skies, temps only reaching the mid 80s ending the 4 day streak of 90 or greater highs during the last 4 days of June was a great relief, along with lowering dew points into the mid 50s. Temperatures rose from the mid 60s in the early AM to the mid 80s by mid-afternoon. Temperatures eventually dropped later in the evening…

After a brief very early morning shower (0.04″) most of Sunday was mostly sunny, a bit less hot or humid but still a rounded high temp of 90 degrees (89.9 degrees actually) that gave me a modest streak of 4 straight days of 90 degrees or more to wind up the month of June with a total of 5 days of 90 or more. Temperatures rose from the upper 60s in the early AM to around 90 degrees by mid-afternoon.  Eventually…

I got busy then crashed Friday night so I missed posting the report for Friday until now when I will combine the information with Saturday’s report into this post. I also got my grocery order on Friday and played rummikub, so I was kind of tied up with those activities for a good part of Friday, which is probably why I crashed out early. Both Friday and Saturday were partly cloudy, quite hot and humid with risks of storms both…

May 2019 was wetter and warmer than normal. My max temp (76.7°) was 2.9° above normal and my min temp (59.7°) was even more significantly 7.9° above normal, resulting in the mean temperature (68.2°) to be 5.4° above normal. My total precipitation of 6.24″ was 1.97” above the newly computed normal precipitation May value for my station of 4.27. There were a lot of smaller amounts of daily precipitation leading to an above normal 13 days with measurable precipitation, Nine…

Wednesday was a partly cloudy, hot and moderately humid day Temperatures rose from the mid 60s in the early AM to the upper 80s to around 90° by mid afternoon then “cooling” off to the mid 70s. A gradual dew point temperature rise all day helped to make things a bit more humid by early afternoon. They started out in the low 60s in the early AM then gradually rose into the upper 60s by early afternoon and held there the rest…
