All Activity

Looks like intensifying. Was this predicted?

I hope you had earmuffs and gloves as well.

Decent rain in silver spring since around 2pm.

Even though we have two highlighted areas by the NHC, the basin is definitely starting to wake up. It’s weak right now, but there is a signal on guidance for possible development off the SE coast from a wave or disturbance that ejects out of the Caribbean early next week, and a signal late month for a possible CAG, which better fits climatology than what models were previously showing with a CAG mid-September. There are still headwinds with wavebreaking induced shear, but it seems to me that activity will gradually pick up as TC climo shifts west.

Narrator: it died on arrival

Yup, got a soaking on my ride home from work. Even closed my windows and turned the heat on when I got home. Lotta wind and rain. Hopefully a harbinger to the winter.

Looks tropical to me. It probably does have a warm core, given the time of year and location.

word. thanks. not really much of a cfs user but ... I'd have thought that'd be more first half tendency

Nope, non-tropical. It’s still attached to a frontal boundary.

Is this not a tropical system... it looks like an eye on radar just off the coast of VA.

NW zones:

Whether we get .10 or .50 most people probably won’t notice since it will be rain. Many times models are off by around .5 or more especially during the warm season when convection is involved. But everyone notices the difference between 1” and 5” when snow is involved.

Lots of trees changing or just browning and defoliating. My pawpaws are mostly yellow and the river birch is half brown. At least the invasive buckthorn and oriental bittersweet are withering and dying.

Late season 90 achieved at MSP. The record of 94 appears to be safe but still a couple hours of warming to go.

Sorry, had to do a screenshot or this site drives me nuts over the size. CFS 2m temp anomaly forecast for JFM.

You're the tree guy, what's the deal?

What are we looking at here? (there's no headers on this image -) anyway, this also reflects higher latitude blocking.

It's prevalent on the cape according to reports. Been there since August.

Pouring in the lowlands. Nothing new here. I'm guessing 1-2 over the next several days here in my area. Hopefully this thing moves along and doesn't sit for days.

I waswn't talking about leaf-edge browning, I was talking about trees being half-dead and half green. May still be cicadas, I guess. Could just be dead stuff from last year. I'll take pictures tomorrow when I'm in SRI, they probably have same issue. It's only those short bushy oaks you see near the coast, I don't see it around here or anywhere inland with the larger ones.

Long range 12z GEFS at 384 has a pretty strong ridge setting up for the first few days of October NAO is also turning negative this September after being positive every month since last January.. this same thing happened last year, where the +AO/+NAO that was present all Summer long broke in September.

So far, rainfall is running above the guidance in a number of locations through 18z.

For the E MDR lemon from the 2PM TWO: 2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic: A tropical wave just offshore of the west coast of Africa is producing an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Some slow development of this system is possible towards the latter part of this week as it moves westward at 15 to 20 mph, moving from the eastern to central portion of the tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
