thank you for introducing me to her art

What went wrong?

Pouring

76/74. Real thick and juicy

Probably another monster WWB in early october. Can see the MJO queued up for it in the IO towards the end of the EPS run.

They'd better have beer.

Looks like many along the Ct. coast have received some 3 to 6 inches of rain

The modeling that targeted CT/LI nailed the max totals.

again, don't assume too much; as stated above, to me "endless summer" means actual summer weather doesn't end, 80s+ and dews go on and on, and that does not appear to be happening you tend to engage with language that exaggerates and reaches toward the weather outcome you'd prefer, thus biasing your "forecasts" and repeating them doesn't improve their accuracy

So far, both Bridgeport (1.18") and Islip (1.13") have had an hourly period today with 1" or more rainfall. New Haven's rain measurements are again not being recorded.

Worst winter I’ve had in my 17 years here. Toaster plugged in next to the bathtub by mid February that year.

today's blast from the past. imagine fall starting in august

Torrential here. Already about 1” of rain.

You've had your share of "jackpot totals" this Summer.

Low of 68 with .14” of rain. New batteries in the weather station, football in full swing, and orange crushes on the menu — life is good.

Seems most areas seeing reasonable totals in the .5-1" range thus far. The excessive totals are more isolated. Hope your grass seed made it. Frustrating to have it wash away. Been there done that. These are amounts as of about 9:00 a.m. with the event still ongoing.

Humid out

Got 0.74'' yesterday, up to 2.60'' for the month.

2.7” this morning, seems like every major precipitation event significantly overperforms of late
