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

0.20 overnight

50” inches of rain a year works out to just a little over 4.00” a month which isn’t that wet in a climate as warm as ours has become. My area has been running below 3.00” monthly averaged out over the last year which is too low for a climate this warm. All the vegetation was dried out this summer with the record heat. Plus some areas up here had water restrictions due to the reservoirs running lower than average. Remember, warmer climates require more rain.

On a more exciting note, those winds are whipping today ahead of the line. The birdies are going wild at the feeders..they always know!

That was a useful storm. 0.39" here. It was solid for the drier parts of the region while the wetter eastern parts got less.

There remains the 3rd main model option, that of many UKMET runs in a row (including today’s 0Z) that never get it much more organized than it is now due to a splitting off of the main H5 vorticity, which turns sharply north in the E Car leaving behind just a weak surface low. That weak low then continues westward in the S Caribbean with the run then ending (168) with just a 1007 low that’s likely about to dissipate near the Nicaragua coast underneath a pretty solid ridge. The JMA had been similar though the latest run (yesterday’s 12Z) developed it into a 1004-5 TD to possibly low end TS that skims the N coast of Honduras to S Belize at 192 (end). Interestingly, the 0Z CMC was kind of similar to the 12Z JMA though it survives Honduras and then turns NE as a TS over WC Cuba and then the NW Bahamas. We’ll see whether or not this is one of those cases of the UKMET being genesis shy/too weak due to the splitting of energy. It (along with the JMA for the most part) has a good chance to either bust badly or score a coup.

so are we still having a Sandy redux? or was that a model fantasy

Good moisture plume moving NE on radar, Should be here within the next hour or two.

From that radar you would think that we got crushed

My 9.48" this past May boosted me over 40" to 41.85" from 10/1/24-9/30/25.

congrats boston

0.02”. Crushed. Did have a strong wind gust around 2 am

Yes, chikungunya is in the United States, though locally transmitted cases are rare and have not been reported since 2019 until a recent case was confirmed in New York. The virus is most commonly spread to the U.S. through travelers returning from endemic areas in other countries, such as Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Recent case: A locally acquired case was confirmed in Nassau County, New York, in October 2025, marking the first U.S. case of local transmission in six years. Primary mode of transmission: The disease is spread by mosquitoes, specifically the Aedes genus, which can be found in the U.S. and its territories. Travel-related cases: Before the recent New York case, most U.S. cases were from travelers who had visited areas where the virus is prevalent. Geographic history: Past local transmission has been identified in areas like Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Symptoms: The virus causes symptoms such as fever, joint pain, headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, and rash. While it is rarely fatal, symptoms can be severe and long-lasting.

It’s getting windy here ahead of the line. Nothing crazy though.

Okay, just found it, well this mosquito borne illness is now in New York

Chikungunya Disease Definition: Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes severe joint pain, fever, and other symptoms. Causes: The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Symptoms: Rash Fever Severe joint pain, often in the hands, feet, wrists, and ankles Headache Muscle pain Fatigue Nausea Complications: Most people recover from chikungunya within a week or two. However, some may experience chronic joint pain, fatigue, or other complications, such as: Arthritis, Eye inflammation, and Neurological problems. Treatment: There is no specific treatment for chikungunya. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, such as: Rest, Pain relievers, Fever reducers, and Fluids. Prevention: Avoid mosquito bites by wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants, using insect repellent, and staying indoors during peak mosquito biting hours. Remove standing water around your home where mosquitoes can breed. If traveling to areas where chikungunya is present, get vaccinated and take precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Additional Information: Chikungunya is endemic in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Africa, Asia, and the Indian Ocean islands. The disease was first reported in Tanzania in 1953. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared chikungunya a global public health emergency in 2014.

Most spots across the area picked up between 0.10" to 0.25" of rain overnight. We could see another shower this morning before we clear up and turn windy. Today and tomorrow will be not too far from typical temperatures in the low to mid 60's. We look to turn below normal starting tomorrow night and that should last though the rest of the work week. Some of our valley locations that have already seen a couple of freezes may see another one by Friday morning. Our next chance of any rain looks to be tomorrow night into early Wednesday morning.

Lots of rain but not much wind. As usual wind gust model forecasts overdone.

One of the many side effects of a wetter climate no one talks about is the rise of mosquitoes carrying infectious diseases never before seen here (as well as other parasitic insects and worms.) Something I've noticed in our hot dry summers is very few mosquitoes, less predatory insects, much less mold and lower pollen levels. We should just cut down the foliage overgrowth if they can't handle the lower rainfall.

The problem with more rainfall is many more infectious mosquitoes plus other predatory insects as well as more mold and more pollen. I think it's better if we just chop down all this excess foliage. We now have a new infectious mosquito here which never lived here before carrying an exotic disease which we have never seen before. It's called Chimchungachunga Disease or something like that. A big positive with less rain I've noticed is much less in the way of mosquitoes and insects in general, fewer allergies and much less mold.

50 inches sounds way too much for this area and much more like the Gulf Coast. I think we're seeing a pattern of drier summers and somewhat wet winters, sort of like how we had in 1966-67. That was a very hot summer followed by a very snowy winter. Other combos like that were 1993-94, 1995-96, 2002-03, and 2010-2011. How do you compare the current pattern vs those three summer to winter couplets of dry summers followed by wet winters? Lots of snow after hot and dry summers too....
