Temperatures can stay the same though. Dry and 70 please.

I could see a sneaky 90 around on Thursday or Friday

leaving methuen with rain or a few flurries...

Foggy morning here, maybe ~200m visibility off my balcony. it's been lingering for about 2 hours now, kinda surprising given the sun's been up

Fire up the muggy meters!

I have not had the AC in 3 weeks... Almost had to turn on the heat on this weekend.

Was this a bad storm? Absolutely. But we’ve seen plenty of those since especially around 2010. March 2010 for example was devastating for many because of tree/power damage and we’ve had many more since. For coastal flooding in the back bays I think it briefly hit Major status which is what was expected. Upton was a little slow to catch on but eventually upgraded the coastal areas to high wind warnings and flooding was about what was expected. For days models had the 4-5” rains a chunk of us experienced and Upton had a similar total precip map out. The wet grounds aided in uprooting trees vs if we had dry conditions this summer. The beaches got pounded due to the storm lingering for days and yes it’s rare we get these so soon in September. But compared to other storms we’ve gotten in the last 15 years or so is it that historic-no. Disruptive yes.

Yeah I thought today was supposed to be mostly sunny and in the mid 70s.

Some dews as well.

Yeah... we are a 13U and still have 8 core players from when we started at 9U.

Torch relative to the time of year on Thursday/Friday. 80-84 in this area.

Ok storm passed 2 days ago, the clouds can go now.

Short-lived.

If it was winter, it would’ve cut 300mi west or have gone out to sea.

Happy Red October (a little early) for those that celebrate - GO PHILLIES! A nice stretch of warmer weather and sun through the remainder of the work week with temperatures possibly touching 80 degrees by Friday! We turn cooler again and wetter by the weekend.

As a S Florida resident I will take 8 storms like this every hurricane season. .

September 2026 was the 3rd consecutive month with parts of the area going over 10” of rain. Monthly Data for September 2026 for Upton NY NWS CWA Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

The 1961-1990 avg is 10.5 NS per year. The current 30 yr avg 1991-2020 is 14.5. In last 10, is it 18. Lots of factors. 1) 1970-1994 was an unfavorable phase of the AMO for Atlantic TCs. Since 1995, it has been favorable. 2) Many more short-lived TS that used to be not declared or missed now get a name and as late as 1994, an off-season HU was not counted/included. 3) Prior to about 2000, NHC rarely declared/included ST storms. Since that time, they declare them routinely. Also, from 1989 to 1994, there was only one operational GOES satellite for the U.S. and it was positioned at 98W So this meant no real coverage for the eastern Atlantic. Meteosat and polar imagery were available for this part of the Atlantic, but it was not received in real-time for hurricane ops. Another thing that changed is when the next generation GOES became available by 1995, not only did we have two GOES satellite again for better coverage, but also image resolution and frequency from these new satellites increased. And when we got to the next "next" generation of GOES satellites, launched in 2017, the resolution of imagery increased again and the amount of data per hour went up by more than an order of magnitude. For instance, we get a full disk every 10 min now. Prior, it was only every 3 hr. A CONUS every 5 min, It was only every 30 min prior. And we went from 5 satellite channels to 16. This all greatly enhanced our capabilities to track and diagnose TCs in real-time. Purely from a standards/practices and technological POV, you can't compare on a level playing field prior decades to the last 3 or so when it comes to NS counts. And this applies for the entire globe. A true long-term avg, accounting for AMO cycles, needs to be 50-70 years of high quality data.

Same here. We have seen so many modeled hits fizzle out.

I was 15, keeping a weather journal. Only year I ever did one. Picked one hell of a year for that huh! I was looking back and there was snow 4x in October, but it could have been flurries, or even just flakes

Is the September torch happening today or tomorrow??
