I can’t believe you took your brain over your inner weenie.

they're in desperation mode Ya love to see it

Well.... my sunny early morning has gone partly to mostly cloudy?? The forecast is 100% sun today. Glancing at satellite you can see the clouds filling in over the area from WV. I'll blame the NW flow.

Waning

This.is true.. when I saw the springfield tornado I could of got closer.. my heart was like do it.. but my brain was saying your close enough and try to live another day to see another one

No-I equate them with American Steakhouse type joints...average food at best-there's enough decent places around here so no need to visit those kinds of restaurants

Close to 5 so far... hoping for more today

Darwin has had 21 straight days of 1015+ mb pressure. Based on records back to to 1991, that’s a new record long string breaking the old record of 20 days set in Aug of 2015.

4.00" event total. .59" since midnight and 12.29" for the year. Mosquitoes are very happy. Can't go anywhere near the edge of the woods or you'll perish

Some years back my sister-in-law gave us a gift card for Red Lobster. Unfortunately, the 3-4 RLs in Maine had closed - couldn't compete with the locals. We had to go to northern Mass to use the card; combined it with a Bible conference in Concord, NH so didn't need a special trip. GYX overnight forecast (<0.1") was on target (sadly) - 0.07". Radar isn't very promising, either. NNJ where I grew up got pounded, 3-7". We'd lived in the hills, avoiding flood damage, but the Pompton/Passaic river system flooded frequently. Unfortunately, the Passaic took the lives of two 10-year-olds yesterday.

Just saw some 2.5-3 inch rates on my wunderground station at my sisters place on Pt Judith. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KRINARRA66

My family & I are leaving on a cruise out of Philly. We get a couple of days in Bermuda & a day in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I’ll be back late next week!

My brother-in-law had a firewood business for years, I used to get 4 cords fort $600. He retired a couple years ago so lost the deal.

Not sad to be slotted

i don't disagree with the need for the warning, just saying that particular warning did not result in a touchdown. The rotation went over my house and was definitely visually there.

Shortly after moving to Maine in 1973, I read that more than half the world's people used wood as a heat source, and I thought that to be sort of quaint. At our NNJ home in NNJ, we had a fireplace, but it was more for atmosphere than heat. We moved from a Fort Kent apartment to our first house (tiny 2-story) in mid-May 1977 and couldn't wait to add a woodstove. I'd installed a Jotul 602 the day before the move. We've run woodstoves as a major heat source ever since - no chimney fires (yet).

70 / 64 cloudy - cut off spinning around with clouds over most of the area and some scattered showers. Break and stretches of sunshine later this afternoon but these cut offs are stubborn to clear out. Hoping we're partly sunny Friday and Saturday before clouds/showers return Sunday but even Saturday could see clouds for a good part of the day. Overall warmer to hot at times 8/4 - beyond - Humid flow also supports continued rain chances pending on your liking thats fortunate or unfortunate.

lol

The hot summer of 1991 was an exception.

Hope so, if it’s not going to snow then i want BBQ and shorts weather for the holiday

But the potential was there based on radar, so the warning is going out at that point, as it should.

Perfect-track, mild Nor'easters followed by cold shots after the storms pull away. I guess.
