June Obs & Discussion

Peeps - the official meteorological summer has begun.
What a way to begin this with temps hitting a low of 44* here this morning.

Looks to be warm at the end of this weekend with temps in the mid to upper 80's with some areas of Central NJ hitting 90 or getting close to it then another cool shot swing in from Canada.
Wed

Thursday


Sunday and trough swings in



We have the MJO wave driving the pattern in phases 2 and then possibly 3 - for the 1000000x where were you in this phase for WINTER!!!



Phase 2 is chilly and 3 is warm -- this is the opposite of winter for phase 3.


Warmth returns again beginning of next week

Grand Solar Minimum
Spotless Days
Current Stretch: 30 days

2019 total: 281 days (77%)
2018 total: 221 days (61%)
2017 total: 104 days (28%)

Notilucent clouds are on the rise and purplish sunsets are too due to these puffers and the low solar/no sunspots. Jet stream is extreme and very steep, wavy .
We have areas in the Middle East adn Africa that are seeing historic cold, snow this past winter and now rains and flooding.
Geomagnetic poles are shifting and on the move which in the past resulted in natural disasters.
24,000, 12,000, 8,000, 4000, 2000, 1000, 800, 440, 220, 100, 22, & 11 year natural sun cycles and planetary alignments are converging.

Some are level 2 eruptions - minor but a very active period since 2018!!!!

Strong T’Storm rolling through my area right now. No wind but heavy rain and LOTS of lightning and thunder. Just woke me up. Radar shows a line of cells moving training over this part of the state so may last a while here.

NAM staying consistent later on a nasty bowing line around 5pm

Yeah we are in enhanced spc risk today which isn't common 30% wor winds over 60mph, 15% chance hail and 2% chance tornado (these all within 25 mile radius of a single point) Never really understood that so that's basically any area? lol Just say that then.

Looks like the line is aimed much further south and is quite small, doesnt look to effect northern NJ or NY/LI, or might it expand more north (the line) Watch up already and does not include any of NY but just to the south.

Appears the NAM even at 12z is way off with the actual placement of the line, oh well that sux, was hoping for some severe storms. The HRRR has the placement where it actually shows the line on radar now so I would discount the NAm completely.

Discounted completely?

Well look at the placement of the current line and the placement on the NAM, and the placement on the HRRR and the current radar. I dont think the line is suddenly going to jump to where the NAM is do you? LOL

Jesus is that a Derecho!? Holy wow, that line is moving nearly 90mph in partS!! And all the warnings have winds from 70-85 mph, if it isn't a derecho it certainly will pack  a similar punch, any one getting word of the severity behind it? Be safe people that are central to southern Jersey it's knocking on your door!! Why is it so unstable out there? Its not that hot and its been cloudy.

Wow



Let us know their intensity when they get to ya

What radar is that? Thats not current radar, its not raining here.

haha the date on that radar says 1/23/18!

Is the line to the south it or is there more to come further north? They just released updated SPC.

Wider view

I’ve got heavy rain (Pouring right now) but worst storms are south of me. Here is the radar near me.

Rain is heavy here with gusty winds, but there was much more lightning and thunder with last night’s storms that came through around 1 am. That was a noisy one. Lol. I imagine there is more lightning with the storms south of here from Princeton to Philly.

I am hearing about very bad damage behind this....

First thing I thought when I saw the radar, then I came here. Wow.

Am I crazy or is this a path we've seen from a Derecho previously?

So there may be a similar line like on the NAM in a few hours? But the NAM did NOT show the morning line at all is why i thought that.
