No significant rain forecast for the next  two weeks either.

To put it into context, the 40C we saw here a couple of summers ago was around 17C above the mean!

The upper air temperature around the record was about 6C; thoroughly unremarkable. This was an unbelievably extreme fohen, which also explains why noone talked about record temperatures occuring today; you wouldn't think it from the synopsis

Quite a few thunderstorms about to the NW of Scotland, up to W coast of Norway. Of course, thunder are not that unusual for that part of the world at this time of the year, but they seem more than just simple convective showers in Pm airmass:-

I think they mean that within a 24 hour period, anywhere in the area could see rainfall rates of an inch an hour, not that they'll get that for 24 hours solid.

The precip chart (from the GFS) shows 5 or 6 inches as the absolute max, although even that is pretty noteworthy!

Nothing unusual but worth noting that it was 13 it 14c in NYC few days ago and now there could be a major winter storm and up to 8" of snow in NYC by tomorrow afternoon. 

https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/winter-to-return-with-a-vengeance-as-major-snowstorm-targets-northeast/1621200 

I guess this could blast up the jet and bring us more wet and windy weather.
