If I remember correctly, the Derecho was the 29th. June 2012 was almost like April 2012 temperaturewise in the Eastern US, close to normal. Here in the Philly area, the first half of June was cool, like the 2nd half of April. After the Derecho was widespread, historic heat. July was another month of well above average temperatures for the Eastern US, following March and May.
My biggest concern, of course, remains a south trend. That would rob me of some much-needed precip, while a north trend, I believe, would make everyone pretty happy.
Honestly, if I receive fewer than 10" between the 2 storms, I might consider this a bust.
