They're Back, Our Typical Daily Boomers...

After several dry days with few clouds and no showers, the low level moisture (muggies) surged back over us today.  Couple daytime heating with the lake/sea breeze fronts and buda bing, T-Storms erupted.  You can clearly see those fronts on the tight satellite view.



I especially like the last wind graphic that shows the outflow (winds moving away from) from the storms on the South Shore.  What those clouds and shower do is make us less hot.



The dry wedge, that briefly brought us dew points in the 60s, has retreated back to the north and we should see a more normal pattern set up during the next 7-10 days that features early morning storms forming along the coast and redeveloping inland during the heat of the day.  Without any tropical activity coming in the near term, I call this basic summertime.

NHC has dropped the area out in the mid-Atlantic to watch and is saying nothing about the swirl well east of Florida.  In my last post, I mentioned there was a well defined low level circulation with no showers around it.  During the past 5 hours, a big cluster of storms has formed obscuring the low level center,  I'm sure NHC will take note if that trend continues.  None of the computer models develop any storms during the next 10-14 days.  Keep the MJO negative/unfavorable (sinking air) for many more weeks!  Stay tuned!
