Yesterday was the rainiest day yet this rainy month. 2.3 inches fell, breaking the 1871 record of 2.29 inches for June 18th. The downpour puts Central Park within striking distance of a June record. Awesome!
Warm air aloft will pretty much kill any chance of adding to the total today and may even let the sun shine a bit this afternoon. Look for a steamy day with a high in the upper 70s.
More rain is almost certain tomorrow as a strong shortwave, which is like a kink in the jet stream, passes overhead. The forecast models the Weather Service uses are coming up with different solutions to tomorrow's weather. One says cool, high around 70, and rainy. The other says warm, mid 70s, and lots of rain, especially Saturday evening. Either way, the U.S. Open faces another delay.
Rain is going to wrap around the system as it moves offshore so look for more showers on Father's Day. As it heads over the Atlantic, the troublesome shortwave looks like it will be transformed into a cut-off low. Cut-off lows like to spin around in place, so we're looking at a few more days of unsettled weather. They also tend to gum up the circulation, which may, we're not promising anything, be just the thing to jolt the atmosphere out of this rainy pattern.

2.1 of the inches ended up being absorbed by my socks and jeans.
Noooooooo, I can't take it anymore! I need sunshine!
Well, the good news for those of you to whom a record is more important than sunshine is that there's more rain for the weekend. Another rainy weekend. Hoorah.
It's like living in Ray Bradbury's All Summer in a Day. Read it. It'll take you 10 minutes.
There was a short film made of that. I remember seeing it on video in school. From what I remember trying to find a copy, it's sort of a collector's item because it was shown on TV and never released publicly so all the copies floating around out there are VHS pirated versions.
Amazingly enough, my $3 bodega umbrella has lasted me all month....
Did you see that there's now a flood watch in effect for Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon?
Hopefully we can all get a little sun for a couple of hours tomorrow morning.
This is the best stretch of weather I've ever experienced. Everyday I feel refreshed. It's not too hot, not too cold, not too humid. there is just the right amount of ionization in the air. I sleep like a baby and wake up like a giant.
second.
