Weekend looks great with seasonal temps. Maybe a bit above by Sunday

Yeah... not directly observed, but they've narrowed the 'candidate regions' where to look, substantially. Reads like "point your cameras there cause it can't be anywhere else" I suppose an extensive process of elimination effort, winnowing down candidate locations. What I fing peculiar is that we've evolved tech like JW satellite/technology, capable of seeing details so vastly far off that we are on the verge of blowing up the going notion of the cosmic age and scale. Yet, we cannot see a 9th planet in orbit around an ordinary star like our yellow dwarf. Hmm. There are challenges, of course... But, those challenges are so insignificant when compared to now challenging the very construct of god, like seeing objects that argue the onset of time and space itself ( ). It just sorta seems any such 9th planet really is ... not actually challenging, then. Yet it remains so elusive. The thing is ...what they can see, empirically, is/are too evidentiary telltale signs of a gravity source - its enough to all but say something has to be there. And, that something was/is sufficiently capable of ordering the random flotsam into the distribution they are seeing .. In the neighborhood of 3 to 9 Earth masses ( I think I most recently read). Until they see the planet, however, some how, some way ... this is perpetually in a state of "...might have been discovered" We still need to change that expression to has been discovered. ... when/if they do directly observe the planet, I want it named whatever ancient Latin word means "redheaded stepchild" ..do to it's being so ostracized and neglected out to the margins of nearly not even being a part of this solar system any longer... Which makes me wonder if it left. It's a run-away, and say ... what they can/are observing of the present day distribution( argument above), is but a relic of solar system's antiquity. This planet may have been on a very expensive parabolic orbit. Similar to the demoted Pluto, not on the same plain necessarily as the inner family, and perhaps more elliptical. This would increase the possibility that a rogue star, many eons ago, may have passed by the sun outer most tentacles, doing so close enough that when the hypothetical planet 9 was out around the aphelion it was too close. Hell, maybe it was Scholz’s Star, a discovered red dwarf that passed by 70,000 years ago... In other words, ...stolen. Heh, that'd be a fun sci-fi novel. The stolen planet was an Earth analog, ... frozen and in stasis, wait for its chance to seek revenge on the favored siblings - in keeping with the redheaded thing.. ha. And the new orbital insert post kidnapping and adoption, placed into a warm, loving, Goldie Lock Zone ...where life, "cosmically resentful" evolved out of vengeful GAIA, and evolved to come back and get back at us! hahaha nice.

Just .06" last 24 hours (8am - 8am) here. Five day event total = 1.28". While a far cry from early advertisements of 3-6" it was a slow and beneficial rain event spread over several days. Some places clearly did better than others but most everyone received .50 - .75". Beautiful sunny, dry and breezy morning. Additional rains 1-2" (maybe some locally higher amounts) Thursday night through Friday. All in all when the recently ended event and the upcoming events over the next 5-10 days get added up the drought conditions should be pretty much erased.

Where's @Typhoon Tip This seems like an impressive dip in the PNA for mid-May, no? EPS is even more negative too

Yeah certainly zero need for installs. And not for awhile.

Close to 3” here since Thursday, thinking and hoping the heaviest slides NW of 84

ride the euro summer

The WPO and the NAO were the main issue last season....EPO/PNA supplied seasonal cold, but major storms still either tracked inland, or failed to phase because the PNA ridge would get throttled. Only time the NAO played ball in January it ended up a suppressive detriment.

FYI. For those not trolling, this is a time to really not pay attention to the GFS. Skill scores are some of the lowest I’ve ever seen for anything mid to long range

wow time to install

why so many cutoffs Chris? I miss my hot 90s summers.

finally!!

mine (ambient Weather) shows similar: 3.75 MTD and 3.75 storm total wanna bet?

Not sure what you’re talking about, I posted a warm map for the 19th. Was not meant to be funny . DJT waves hi

yup there is, but just be patient. it will dry out before you know it seriously though, i know you're talking about rainfall, which you obviously can't control. but when not raining, just need to keep it moist

Was it?

Friday could be a prolific rainer in western areas again, especially if some storms fire up there later tomorrow along front. Eventually everyone gets a good drink.

Per X New ECMWF guidance shows near or slightly above average sea temperatures in the main development region for hurricanes this coming season. Well above average temperatures are forecast in the Gulf and western Atlantic, which can enhance activity close to land.

Your schtick was funny 10 years ago.

I ended up getting in some nice bands and logged 1.2" A flurry or two mixed in once in a while but the cooler air never arrived.

Why wouldn’t I ?

Over the last 4 days we have received 2.19" of rain here in East Nantmeal. We are now only 2.40" below normal or 85% of normal rainfall as those drought conditions continue to lessen. A beauty of a day today with temps near normal around 70 degrees. However, we see more rain arriving again by tomorrow night and lasting through Friday morning. The rain associated with a cold front could drop between an 1.0" to 1.5" of rain across the area. We turn much chillier on Friday with some higher ridge locations remaining in the upper 50's for high temperatures. We warm nicely by the weekend with temperatures within a few degrees of normal at around 70 degrees.
