50mb to 1948, too. https://psl.noaa.gov/data/correlation/qbo.50mb.data

I have QBO data to 1948 at the page I use.

Seems a majority of guidance wants to bring some decaying showers/storms through the metro area after sunset towards midnight.

DEN has yet to record measurable rainfall in August, after July finished well below normal. Definitely due for a couple soakers.

Really dire situation in southeast Indiana, looks like they could stack another 3-5" on top of this.

August 12 2000: Record-setting dew points develop in Minnesota. The Twin Cities have a dew point of 76, with a rare dew point of 80 at Faribault. 1821: An eight-day heat wave ends at Ft. Snelling. Temperatures were in the 90's each day. For Wednesday, August 12, 2026 1752 - The following is from the Journals of the Rev. Thomas Smith, and the Rev. Samuel Deane, published in 1849. “In the evening there was dismal thunder and lightning, and abundance of rain, and such a hurricane as was never the like in these parts of the world.” This hurricane struck Portland, Maine. 1778 - A Rhode Island hurricane prevented an impending British-French sea battle, and caused extensive damage over southeast New England. (David Ludlum) 1933 - The temperature at Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, CA, hit 127 degrees to establish a U.S. record for the month of August. (The Weather Channel) 1936 - The temperature at Seymour, TX, hit 120 degrees to establish a state record. (The Weather Channel) 1955 - During the second week of August hurricanes Connie and Diane produced as much as 19 inches of rain in the northeastern U.S. forcing rivers from Virginia to Massachusetts into a high flood. Westfield MA was deluged with 18.15 inches of rain in 24 hours, and at Woonsocket RI the Blackstone River swelled from seventy feet in width to a mile and a half. Connecticut and the Delaware Valley were hardest hit. Total damage in New England was 800 million dollars, and flooding claimed 187 lives. (David Ludlum) 1987 - Early afternoon thunderstorms in Arizona produced 3.90 inches of rain in ninety minutes at Walnut National Monument (located east of Flagstaff), along with three inches of pea size hail, which had to be plowed off the roads. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Fifteen cities in the northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Youngstown OH reported twenty-six days of 90 degree weather for the year, a total equal to that for the entire decade of the 1970s. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thunderstorms were scattered across nearly every state in the Union by late in the day. Thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Fergus Falls MN, and golf ball size hail and wind gusts to 60 mph at Black Creek WI. In the Chicago area, seven persons at a forest preserve in North Riverside were injured by lightning. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 2004 - Hurricane Charley was the third named storm and the second hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. Charley lasted from August 9 to August 15, and at its peak intensity, it attained 150 mph winds, making it a strong Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. It made landfall in southwestern Florida at maximum strength, making it the most powerful hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992. 2005 - A tornado strikes Wright, Wyoming, a coal-mining community, killing two and destroying 91 homes and damaging about 30 more in around the town.

200 tornadoes, 200 inches of snow next

Snuck in on a few drops. #blessed

mby snuck in on the warning, i'll count it but not expecting much here other than a low end shelf

Heather Hill is example one. Essentially dirt.

Maple gate is going to be a solar farm. They sold it for 24 million. That would be a lot of green fees

Not at home today :-/

Latest radar scans seem like the line is accelerating. Derecho anyone?

the images of the mega drought in europe right now have me counting our blessings and hoping the current trends lock in as the all-time super nino flexes into the cold season

I'm not so sure that's wrong looking at the overnight ... very light NW drift is ideally moving a high heat content source right at Logan: that being Boston's urban asshole. This was probably going to be a warm urban/cooler subburb deal overnight. HFD there being 65... also ORH AP a 1000 feet above the decoupled slab of false autumn was also 65, somewhat evinces that. Boston being the biggest urban warm pig on the map with a NW to NNW gentle stenchy city fart all night might just have elevated that site anthropomorphically Also, interestingly ... the Harbor is torched. 70 F SSTs. Not sure what this compares to normal but I suspect it is warm?

Just got a juicer last week. Nothing better than a fresh glass of beet, apple, cucumber, lemon, ginger juice to wake you up. :-)

And today it's almost back up to where it was on Monday. Guess it shows how hard it is to model these kinds of things. Could be a good opportunity to learn something?

I'm glad we got a bit of pre-soaking in last week before this Howitzer train hit. If it would've hit at the beginning of the month when my ground was so dry it was Bonneville lake bed cracking all of that juice would've ran straight for the creeks and rivers. Ground is setup to do some aquifer regeneration. It really shows out here in rural areas where with as much rain as we've gotten this week it's been soaking in fast. We're saturated now, need a break to drain lol.

You folks in Indiana doing alright? The rain there looks incredible at the moment.

Might be a decent light show tonight SOP

93L likely became a brief tropical storm overnight based on the LLC seen on visible this morning but since that time convection has been ripped well to east of center. Might be a numbers booster in post season analysis
