I didn't get much of anything but lightning flashes from the first one



this is the second one, the lightning was fantastic, we had another thunderstorm before the two but it weakened a bit.

If you're talking about the one around 8PM it was constant lightening, no thunder and there was some heavy rain, but the one around midnight, oh my goodness! Awesome lightening and thunder!!! And the rain, WOW, it was intense!

And I just got this, next week is gonna be NASTY!

...OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS EXPECTED THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK AS
BOTH HEAT AND HUMIDITY INCREASE...

THE SCORCHING HEAT THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
NATION THIS PAST WEEK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT OVER THE EASTERN PORTION
OF THE COUNTRY THIS COMING WEEK.

HEAT INDICES WILL BEGIN TO CLIMB ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
RISE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND
HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE 95 TO 100 DEGREES ON SUNDAY,
INCREASED LEVELS OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL MORE LIKE
100 TO 105 DEGREES ON MONDAY, TUESDAY, AND WEDNESDAY.

HERE ARE A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHEN THE HEAT ARRIVES.

TRY TO AVOID WORKING OR PLAYING DIRECTLY IN THE SUN. IF YOU WILL BE
OUTSIDE, WEAR LIGHT-COLORED, LIGHTWEIGHT CLOTHING, A HAT WITH A
BRIM, AND SUNSCREEN.

AN AIR-CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT IS BEST. IF THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE,
TURN ON A FAN AND OPEN WINDOWS TO RELEASE TRAPPED HOT AIR.

DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS EVEN IF YOU AREN'T THIRSTY.

IF YOU TAKE MEDICATION, CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN ABOUT POSSIBLE
ADVERSE REACTIONS IN HEAT.

ANIMALS CAN SUFFER FROM THE HIGH HEAT AS WELL. MAKE SURE THEY HAVE
ACCESS TO WATER AND SUFFICIENT VENTILATION.

LASTLY, NEVER LEAVE ELDERLY PEOPLE, CHILDREN OR PETS ALONE IN CARS.

CONTINUE TO MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR LOCAL MEDIA
FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION CONCERNING THE UPCOMING HEAT.

You see that big red blob just south of Philly? That was the "baby" one that was going through my neighborhood at the time. Between 9 & 9:45 pm we were rocking and rolling! The lightning was TOO CLOSE and my rain gauge this morning said that we had almost 3 inches of rain from those storms. Holy crap!

We have a Severe thunderstorm watch and are about to get hit again

We got hit with 40mph winds at about 3:10 this afternoon, prompting our 6th severe thunderstorm warning in the last 11 days.

I missed that one since I was in Atlantic City but it looks like we had a good amount of rain again. The storms made it down to the shore though AC only received some rain and wind.

The humidity afterwards was insane, dewpoint had to have been 74-77 I dont ever remember such horrible humidity, except in Florida. even during last weeks heatwave or 1995 it wasnt that humid that I can remember
