Absolutely pouring now. After a high of 80 back down to 72.

A rather warm day today. Walked outside at 1030 this morning and was like ooffffffffff.

Storms blowing up and getting rain.

Real feel here is 89. Humidity is low thankfully. Temps in the shade aren’t bad. Mornings aren’t bad.

I did hear the east side of the city got a surprise strong storm (with flash flooding) yesterday though, which is something. Apparently, DET picked up nearly 2" of rain from it.

I think this is a sugar maple, but I am not sure. The silver maples have slightly different leaves.

I call this one a "fire bush" but I don't know the name of it

apparently the Spotted Lantern Flies have invaded the Jersey Shore today.

More or less. I'm envisioning it being a temp thing for like 3-5 years but the location is good since I find myself hanging out in Kingston/Woodstock/Catskill quite a bit. Proximity to a more varied network of trails is also a plus, and I have some good space to keep the gardens going. Definitely a climo downgrade, though it's not like I've been racking up the KUs in Millbrook over the last decade. At least I'll be more likely to head into the Catskills and actually take advantage of the pack there during our all but assured gradient winters

Very cool. Though I am a little disappointed. I have been outdone.

The newly released CPC Winter outlook is colder than 90-95% of what they've put out in the long range for the last 10 years, for the CONUS. The NW, US is an interesting forecast, because the Euro, CANSIPs, and other seasonal models are above average there.

Now today is effin’ dry. Full sun, breezy and dews in low 40’s. caved and watered.

It’s been insanely dry since the end of July

I imagine color is ramping up bigtime in NNE with the drought. Our average peak in SE MI is mid-late October, but color began in late August as the cool nights arrived and even with the pattern shift to warmer, color continues to expand. The air smells like fall with all the drying leaves, even in the warm sun, and I suspect the dry conditions have to be playing a part. Kind of hard to tell in this picture from earlier, but the gold of the grass is only a few shades lighter than the gold on the trees.

Nice summer afternoon, one of the few remaining. :(

No summer here. Dews dippin into the 30s.

Dry. Warm. Dry. Sunny. Dry. Colors continue to pick up steam despite the warmer weather. Did I mention dry?

WB 12Z ensembles: 5 day period ending next Sunday is looking promising for more rain.

Nice summer like day here in New Haven as well in the mid 80's with some nice dews.

Cookout at Mark Margavage’s?

Deep summer in PA where I am. Mid 80s and low 60s dews

Westhampton has reached 83°. That ties the daily record for September 19th that was set in 1967 and tied in 1983. Records go back to 1951.

We really dont. The weather is lovely. The reservoirs are fine. There’s no wildfires raging. Lets stop creating a crisis where there is none. Its been a little dry. and after several years of ridiculously wet weather in the area, it’s just nature balancing itself out.

Temp up to 87 at both home and at MU. Warmest day in some time.
