What’s that moving east to west over the Bay ?

You’re so old and…always drunk.

NWS had it hitting Florida as a major hurricane and it missed.

11 pm update is it's only moving north

7 named

Dorian got up to 185 MPH, Trump made his cone through Florida and it went out to sea. LOL.

0.52" here. Not bad. A much-needed watering for the vegetable garden.

Don's top ten summers 2010 1966 1993 1995 1999 1980 1988 1949 2011 1994 Their ranks in my table __ 2 __ 3 __ 11 ___ 24 __ 21 __ 14 __ 22 __ 06 __ 36 __ 30 LB favorites 1944 and 1983 finished 8 and 12. I'm not sure whether Don considered summers before 1949 in his top ten listing, or where in time his list begins, would be interesting to find out where some of my top ten (1876, 1906, 1908) finished in his list. But in general I think cool starts to June are the main determining factor in placing a given summer lower on my list, that part of summer rarely produces much of the heat content that Don's method was measuring; also, if September heat was included, none of that would affect my rankings. Even without Sep 1-3, 1953 ranked 29th. The four worst modern summers were 2009, 2000, 1992 and 1996.

1.45” here in E.Hartford. Triple my monthly total just about.

Who cares how warm or cool it is on a rainy day? I remember now why I don’t check this place out in the summer.

And there it goes flash flood warning.. hrrrr was right … 3-4” in 90 minutes in that zone with plenty more to come

In my Toronto-NYC climate study (in climate change forum) this is how I ranked the seasons after making adjustments for urban heat island. I rated the heat island at 0.2 F or 0.1 C deg every decade, until 1980, after which I held it steady ... so data from 1981 to 2025 is reduced by 2 F or 1.1 C, 1971-80 by 1.0 C, 1961-70 by 0.9 C, etc, until one reaches 1869-80 which is not reduced at all. I am going to check this against Don's list for summers. <<< Ranked seasonal means for NYC (adjusted for urban heat island) >>> 156 years are ranked. The median position is average of 78th warmest and coldest. Warmest seasons are at the top of these ranked tables; coldest are at the bottom. Ties are not directly indicated and are listed in chronological order. __ Winter 2024-25 will enter table 74th warmest 0.47 C . 2025 median is 79th warmest and coldest. __ Spring 2025 will enter the table 14th warmest 11.58 C. __ Summer 2025 is headed for a finish near 23.30 C which would be 38th warmest, but many years are jammed into a narrow range between 30th and 50th. warmest

Had some showers from the very outer edge of Erin and very breezy conditions all day with winds from the NE. Picked up .07".

Just hit an inch. Coming down good now.

Was just thinking about Dorian. Everyone forgot about it past the Bahamas but Ocracoke was decimated. Hope it isn’t anything like that. Godspeed.

Western CT getting nailed right now reports of 3-4” on radar most of that since 8pm in Fairfield county.

In some places, just .19 here

Sorry, not my intention to downplay. We set the bar pretty high for an offshore storm. I saw storm reports and clips from earlier but it seems like I'm not finding much in realtime right now. I guess morning will tell the tale.

Man it is pouring out! So much for that dry stretch everyone was worried about huh?

1.75 so far as of 10:30. Nice soaking. 56/56

1.5". Much needed.

I don't, I'm just saying what the lay person is saying online.

Yes and at first when there were no reports TV said that was no news and good news. Very quickly they got that it was because no one could report
