All Activity

An unusual day today in that high temps in Michigan ranged from the 80s in the western U.P. to the 50s in southeast MI.

that should mostly be gone soon

I haven't posted in a while. I lost power for 4 days from the storm. Looking forward to some drier weather this weekend.

My big score was .02”

Crazy the lack of rain southeast of me. I'm at 3.84" since Friday night.

Caps winning this game would be a steal.

The last two runs of the Euro Weeklies for the week 5/26-6/1 have backed way down on the chance for W Caribbean/gyre originating activity later threatening FL/SE US:

Blocked shots in playoffs hockey is such an underrated stat.

Carolina 5 posts hit tonight

My yard is under water, but

Orioles tied for 2nd worst record in the AL right now. I knew those 6th place world series betting odds preseason were too bullish.

Really nice cold 500mb +NAO for the next 7 days. That's what I want to see more of through the late Spring/Summer to have more -EPO next Winter.

You guys were on fire with blowing sand last year in short term drought status... and that didn't stop the dews. Not sure the rain matters. It seems to be a steam bath more often than not these summers.

Caps fortunate to be up after the first 2 periods. Certainly being outplayed tonight. Carolina really tilting the ice

we might be able to pop off some storms tomorrow afternoon

that just means more rain and a chance for some big storms

another 0.02" today brings May's total to 0.19", more misses than a 24-hour Vegas wedding chapel, radar shows that batch of rain moving east from WV is no match for the local drywall

Is there a such thing as too much water for seed? Asking for my lawn.

I am now at 1.31" and is great moisture to start off May. As I thought, I have been right on the snow line with my neighbor above me with several inches. I got a slushy inch, and the neighbor 200 feet below me has only received rain. This happens nearly every spring and never ceases to amaze me. Regarding the wildfire season which was mentioned earlier today, I have found it to be much more coupled to the monsoon. There are years with good spring precipitation followed by a lackluster monsoon that result in a high danger mid-summer, and a good spring will get the fuels growing and then dry out if the monsoon fails. But a dry spring can be somewhat mitigated by a good monsoon. In 2020, both the spring and monsoon seasons were dry and we ended up with the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires.

Let’s keep the rains coming.

Not only that, I think the extra moisture in the air is what keeps the Arctic warmer during the cold season. Even a small amount of moisture added to very cold air will raise the temp. Arctic summers aren’t warming much but as soon as October comes around, it’s always a torch(relative to average) in the Arctic. The moisture probably isn’t allowing it to cool off as fast as it used to. Then you have less sea ice which just adds even more moisture to the air. In the Summer, the added moisture results in cloudier and cooler temps overall in the Arctic which is why we haven’t had a new record low in sea ice since 2012. You need warmer and sunnier temps to really melt the ice up there.

Dewpoints dropping like a rock down to 50 here

Folks dew realize that all these rains regionwide are setting us all up for a very dewy summer right
