Similar to winter

Definitely a cluster of ensembles trying to show a window in the western Atlantic, but you gotta survive to maybe take advantage of that.

This. As an old friend in the Mid-Atlantic forum used to say religiously…just give me the precip and I’ll take my chances.

75 party cloudy here-perfect day out there. Sunset at 7:37 starting to really notice the early sunsets

Yeah, mostly cloudy now with a few breaks, 75

It was the brightest one I have seen so far!

Thanks for posting that excellent graph! Now 2026 is essentially neck and neck with 1997. RONI/ONI will almost start warming again and likely soon/at a good pace, but: -it has clearly fallen behind model consensus that had steady warming throughout this month rather than the net flatness/pause of the last 3 weeks -so when warming resumes, even if in earnest, it will be restarting from a lower point than previously progged by models

Lol seriously. I don't need an hour by hour recap of what Andrew did 34 years ago on this day.

Need an event that’s snow at 1100’+ WoR and 33 rain at Tolland.

is a "furnace" hotter than a "torch" ? does the progression go like this: -0 to +0 average +1 to +2 warm +3 to +4 hot +5 to +6 torch +7 to +8 furnace or is it more like this: -0 to +0 average +1 to +2 torch +3 to +4 furnace +5 to +6 warm +7 to +8 hot I see from the reactions that others are also "confused"

Hope so but I just think it’s going to generally be too mild even at elevation . Maybe NW CT van get one though i

I'll never forget turning on TWC on 7/15/95 and like 6 AM and them talking about the line moving across the region. Fun times

It wouldn’t be aeration and seed season here if it wasn’t dry.

I know a lot of this discussion is tongue and cheek, but given the high probability of above normal precip this winter, the potential for a couple of nasty / disruptive Nor'easters is on the table! Wall to wall snow cover! NO! But multiple big eastern US and East Coast storm events will produce some significant threats; including interior CT... Marginal temps for sure, but dynamic events nonetheless...

I was curious about this and went back to check. Fall 2015 was actually dry in the area. Not drastically, but modestly BN each month. So I looked at Fall 1997 and 1982 also. Sept 97 was pretty dry and it got wetter as fall progressed with a wet November. 82 was more of a mixed bag with some variation between the airports but you could say average-ish regionally. For more modest ninos, fall 2018 was a deluge. Fall 2014 slightly dry, fall 2009 mixed month by month, and fall 2002 was wet. So maybe the nino=wet fall correlation is mostly in our heads from more typical ninos. With the tiny sample size of strong/super ninos, a dry September at least would be in-family.

100% that’s the case per much slower August warming than models had indicated plus models are trending down likely in reaction to that. See post above. Check out the ground truth with the latest OISST RONI the last 3 weeks: flat! CDAS ONI: flat last 3 weeks!

this area had a derecho in july 97 and it was one of my spark events

You can tell this hurricane season is a lost cause because half of wx Twitter is "X hurricane made landfall on this date 13 years ago"
