  1. Past hour
  2. Yup, even down here in the swampy hot coastal plain suburbs of NYC the snow last winter was nearly all blower powder. Very odd for us. Only the mid december storm was wet.
  3. Definitely...bit hot in the sun but beautiful in the shade with the breeze. I wonder if the World Cup has anything to do with lower than normal crowds. Google Map is showing much less traffic than I would've expected on a nice summer Sunday. Ended yesterday's rain event with 1.80" of rain in NE Queens. Most of it was from the noontime deluge, as we missed the bulk of the afternoon/evening storms to the north and south.
  4. No D3 enhanced for us east of Garrett county. Could be they want the front timing to get a little more precise?
  5. A beautiful afternoon at the lake. Partly cloudy skies and 70/65. Smoke from earlier seems to be clearing. Heading into the 50s tonight and heading to the fairgrounds to see the Garrett County drone show for America’s 250th.
  6. Nice heat signal first week of Augdewst . Similar to the early look from the one in late Junorch . Folks were calling for cold and blues and we warned it would not happen
  7. Who said anything about tropical convection? My reply was strictly in regard to how the forecast you posted compared to April 1998.
  8. Cedar Rapids looks to be the place to be per usual here in the DVN cwa.
  9. I’ve really enjoyed this summer so far - heat with occasional breaks, and a few thunderstorms!
  10. I'm sure it's been said already but today's feeling a bit autumnal. Can you break summer's back before Aug?
  11. Yeah definitely below normal for the forseeable future. it is what it is
  12. Today
  13. Popcorn storm galore this afternoon.
  14. I am jumping the gun a bit, but also realize once Bertha gets named my silliness is way less acceptable here. LOL TS Two conditions here in Gulfport FL is a nice breeze, beautifully wet, and the most comfortable weather outside in a good while. Thank you Bertha even if you don't get named!
  15. You know what average max temps are this time of year, right? And the mins will bring down average temps a bit. It doesn't look very cold...just a bit BN.
  16. My statement was correct. The winter of 2025-2026 was the 2nd warmest on record for the CONUS. While it’s difficult to find a perfect match, the forecasts were close to a 1994-1995 outcome which was the 12th warmest winter for the CONUS. So for the CONUS the seasonal forecasts were too cold due to the extreme nature of the warmth out West. I kept the scales in (C )for a direct comparison to the ECMWF forecast. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/national/time-series/110/tavg/3/2/1895-2026 https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/03/we-just-had-the-second-warmest-winter-in-u-s-history-despite-icy-blasts/ Rankings and departures out West were much higher than the East Verification in (C)
  17. I did as you suggested, and one in town about quarter mile away was 0.95". One in Hometown, perhaps a mile or so north was one inch exactly, and the USGS gauge, which is also about a quarter mile north of me along the river, (it measures river stage) was at 1.45".
  18. Top ten day. Surprised Adventureland isn’t more crowded
  19. Deep summer is on hiatus for awhile. Wed will be dewy prefront. But overall it's a lot of COC.
  20. It's amazing how the rain just keeps dying as it gets close, then the temp shoots right back up to 99. 3 days of this BS
  21. This is true, but tropical convection isn’t decided by absolute SSTs alone. It’s relative to global mean tropical SSTs. Assuming the negative SSTAs materialize in the W pacific, the gradient between the negative SSTAs and the 30C waters shifted east of the dateline is what matters. You can’t really use 2016 or 2024 as an analog for this because such a gradient did not exist, and thus the convection was still present well west of the dateline. If the CFS does not materialize, and the W pac SSTAs are not below normal or closer to normal, then there’s a stronger argument for more persistent convection well west of the Dateline.
  22. The one difference from that forecast SST chart is how much warmer all the ocean basins are forecast to be than April 1998.
  23. Mid July ‘25 CFSv2 2m fcast for winter 25-6: 8/1/25 Euro 2m fcast for winter 25-6: Actual 2m for winter 25-6: So, these 2 were much too warm in the E US, pretty close central, and not nearly warm enough W, especially in/near Rockies. W coast though was fairly close. *Edited for typo
  24. It’s as if we are starting to see some of the higher end El Niños that weren’t forecast to repeat only a few years apart until later in this century. But the strength of the La Ninas hasn’t been really increasing. So this goes to show how much work we need to do on more accurate climate modeling. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-64619-0
  25. I have tickets to a show at Merriweather (in Columbia) Tuesday. I’m kinda planning ahead on not driving the 90 miles S only to get soaking wet and deal with delay after delay. If anyone might be interested in Death Cab for Cutie tickets shoot me a message and we’ll see what transpires Tuesday (hopefully this gets punted into Wednesday am … )
