Guy, maybe have Jess try my cooling method. I have a small cooler, maybe a gallon. In the bottom I throw in two terry cloth wrist bands and two neck bands (one for the forehead). I then cover them in a little water and fill the cooler with ice. When I leave the truck, I take them out and put them on. Within one minute you feel normal, and that feeling lasts for a bit. I also refresh them when I return to the truck. As your blood flows past them, it cools down.

I was out for quite awhile today between morning, noon and evening walks. Yeah - hot, humid. At least at first, but I just stayed in the shade by the creek most of the time, took it easy and found it very enjoyable. There was a breeze today and that makes all the difference for me.

Forecast is calling for one to two inches of rain tonight, followed by a quarter to a half inch tomorrow. Briefing is available here:

This seems odd. If you look at the actual forecast, so far they are only predicting between 1/10 to 1/4 inch rain in the yellow area and just 1/10 inch in the green...

Maybe that Texas incident spooked the weather forecasters.

I was thinking the same. But they have increased the rainfall predictions for tonight and tomorrow now. There's a substantial variation in the forecast across Southern NJ however.

[edit]They have now posted a new map

I was shocked at how humid it was in Cape May yesterday. I was in a swamp for an hour and when I came out my clothes were soaked through. It's actually worrisome, is this is how every summer is going to be for awhile? I wondered what the dew point was so found this site below. The dewpoint was 76 when I was in there, very miserable. When I left home I saw temperature forecast of 81 (feeling like 88) and I thought 'ok, not bad at all compared to 94 degrees'. But I'd rather have 94, sunny and dry than what I went through yesterday. And you know, there are way more greenhead flies when it's cloudy and humid.

There's a substantial variation in the forecast across Southern NJ however.

And that's how it actually worked out. Looks like less than 1/4 inch at my place, which is confirmed by the NJDEP data. Some places got over two inches.

Yes, here in Manahawkin someone was drumming on the roof for quite awhile.
