We pour!

Hope it does not knock off too many leaves, color is just starting to pop in LSV.

Hello. I'm talking about evapotranspiration in summer causing more water evaporating at a quicker rate. You know how how much more strain a +3 July puts on water supplies? Now add a couple more degrees over that for an above normal July for our current normals. So say a +5 July or August. If you think you can retain the same amount of water with months that much warmer than they used to be you would be mistaken. I was talking about parched surfaces and water supplies and drought.

Firehose. Wind driven rain. Gusts 30ish.

I can only go back to 2017 to look at trust worthy annual precipitation amounts since I didn't start melting down frozen precipitation to get accurate readings until the fall of 2016. Boy, I forgot how wet 2023 was, 66.85" that year for me but I digress. My annual average is 49.18", so right in the ball park of what you posted above.

HRRR has me getting steined.

Just had to go salvage my recycling bin and trash can from the middle of the road down the street. Winds blowing around 40 here. It’s very, very windy.

50.84” of rain has been our long term average since 1971 at a place like NYC so it isn’t too much rain. But short term hourly and daily heavy rainfall extremes have been increasing over this period especially since 2003. This has lead to flooding issues. It’s when we get closer to 60”or higher of rain on the year that issues with too much annual rainfall develop. From 1871 to 1970 NYC averaged 42.89” which worked out OK since the climate was so much cooler. Except for the 1960s which had the record low rainfall in the 30s and even 20s with the 500 year drought.

I have an Ambient. You got it set up to report online?

sounds like a winter Miller B situation lol

Proud new owner of an Ambient station! Measured .35 overnight.

trough was going negative and a storm formed on the front

November is usually a boring month anyway.

Moderate rain shower with no wind at all

what caused the front to intensify so much after it was already dying as it passed over our area?

wow thats a lot

it's not normal for us because we aren't as hot as the Gulf Coast. I find 3.5 inches of rain much better than 4, what we are going through now is just balancing the scales vs the excessive rainfall of the past several years. I'm sure it all averages out to 40 or just over 40 over the entire period of your station's record. I don't consider vegetation drying out a bad thing at all, it means lower pollen levels and much lower levels of parasitic insects and fewer weeds. We don't really need rain as long as our reservoirs are near or over 90%. If the reservoirs get low like they were in the 1980s then it becomes an issue.

Thanks. I'm making a concerted effort to factor this stuff into my seasonal more.

The eastern coordinate needs to be higher so your subtract the 60 from 360 to go with 100W to 300E.

Models are more than hinting about a deep trough crossing the country next week. No doubt that it would provide a good opportunity for rain.

I'm glad we got the noreaster rains a week ago-otherwise this would have been bad missing the rains
