Dear God, that guy nearly got creamed. Very close call.

0.12" of rain last night. Cooler day on tap today with a high around 70.

Silo?

Yeah, this is going to be a very impressive ridge for that part of North America. MPX has a shot at a new all-time 500 mb height record. The previous record is less than three years old.

Especially pleasant morning after the hell of last Wednesday - Sunday

I imagine we should see at least some of the D4 drop to D3 tomorrow.

I'm sorry, but some of this sounds like hyperbole of the hyperbole. What serious person is out there saying that a 90 degree day in New England is dangerous and requires people staying inside? Everybody knows the information environment is crap on balance. Even the general public to a large degree gets that. A met on local tv saying a heat dome is going to give us highs of 95 with a HI of 105 so take precautions otherwise it can be dangerous is very different from some kid on YouTube saying the heat dome is going to kill everybody. Yeah, they get clicks, but I don't encounter a lot of people in normal life who are cowering in a corner because of something they heard from a random online. In the face of a lot of bad information and hype out there, a lot of professionals and serious hobbyists have tried to counter that with using more probabilistic forecasting and communication, contextualizing how weather is not climate, and explaining how the science is the same even when terminology changes. To be clear--I believe the information environment is profoundly worse on balance than it was 30 years ago. There is too much hype, too many bad actors cashing in on quackery, and too little nuance introduced whenever we do have high end events (not every hurricane or major flood is directly tied to climate change, not every temperature drop below zero/above 100 is historic, etc) but I don't think it's fundamentally changed how most people make decisions, especially in advance of/during high end events. Not yet at least.

I am happy Silo is back... I just hope that season 3 does not disappoint.

Sure looks like multiple chances for additional destructive storms coming tomorrow and Friday...

We, and our immediate friends to our south, have become the severe weather mecca of the country - here are the number of severe weather warnings issued by local NWS offices since July 2nd:

It’s been a decent stretch of four consecutive days of measurable rain totaling 1.29”

Not familiar with the author but interesting reading on a hot summer day regarding increased potential for positive PNA this winter and some of the data and science behind this potential pattern. https://www.severe-weather.eu/long-range-2/atlantic-anomaly-and-super-el-nino-shaping-early-winter-2026-2027-predictions-united-states-canada-europe-fa/

Underachieving--I am almost sure of it. Elias & Sig's system is the main reason. Get those voices out and I think players--especially Gunnar--are gonna do better. Hey you're forgetting about Basallo in that 1-2 punch equation Who says they are the 1-2 punch? You can bring in other FAs to compliment them. See here's the thing: Things are not so bad that we need another 3-4 years rebuild from the ground up...which seems to be what you're suggesting (I mean you get rid of the young players ya gotta start over). Getting new young stars is bound to take that long because ya gotta draft and wait 4 years. I think there's a way to add to the young core and not go through 100-loss seasons again.

I refer to it as the softening of society..now days people have more issues handling weather because they are inside a lot more than back in the day..

Congrats! And that's exactly where my AC resides 24/7.

Hopefully the trend continues!

I agree that Elias needs to go. 2 full seasons of games is a pretty big sample size for the players. At some point players need to play and they haven't done that in 2 years. The majority of this current roster hasn't won crap at the Major League level. Take a look at the 2023 roster that won 101 games. Most are gone now. I'm not sure if their underachieving or just not as good as they were all billed to be. For Adley he's having a better season but his last 2 were disasters . If you look at his numbers he's probably back in the top 10 catchers in the League conversation but being the number 1 pick he also hasn't lived up to the billing.You can see his decline Athletically over the past 2 seasons. I hate to see when he's 33,34 years old. I certainly wouldn't entertain extending him. There's plenty of other Catchers that are better offensively and defensively. If Adley and Gunner are your big 1 ,2 punch to build around, that's a pretty soft 1 and 2 compared to other teams around the league.

Great band!!...I doubt he ever expected a song to be written with his name as the title. Lol And I highly doubt he received an early distant warning while living in his subdivision prior to the release of the song.

Same thing here, unfortunately. Measured 0.17” since Friday. The other day was plastered with flood warnings just a few miles west, south, and east of me, yet we were sandwiched in between and got nada.

finished with 2.7"

1877-78 is probably the closest to an extreme east based event. Unfortunately I cannot change the 1991-2020 climatology for this map (not an option), so you have to extrapolate that the anomalies in Nino 3 here were likely extreme for its time since the baseline SST’s have warmed since then.

You got 3 weeks of rain in a day. How much do you all want to “make a dent”? Honest question.

The Nino 1+2 regions not fully cooling off from 2023-2024 super El Nino for the first time was an early signal something was different this time. Notice how much warmer Nino 1+2 was in 2025 than all the previous years following super El Niños. Almost like a bridge between the two super El Niños only three years apart.
