Took 24 hours lol.

thank you and it is great for chasing the jungles we have here.

Maybe the lower dewpoint heat next week will actually bring some high temperatures that don’t underperform for a change.

Little late to the party but rainfall here reached 2.10" with last event. High temp yesterday of 88°.

The record broken by the 1984 storm was April 7-8, 1982, the most glorious bust I've enjoyed. Late on April 6, CAR still thought OTS, forecasting 20s, windy, flurries. That blizzard left our black Chevette (a small car, but still . . .) with only a palm-size patch visible. My guesstimate in Fort Kent was 17", while the wind left the snow stake 2" lower than pre-storm, with mounds 5-6 feet tall within 20 feet on either side. March 1984 is now 2nd, behind the 33.1" from an odd stationary storm Dec 25-27, 2005, the bright spot in a down winter. In mid-February a guy from Corpus Cristi, TX called the manager of Aroostook State Park (near PQI) about sledding. The response was that it was very poor, plus a recommendation to head north, to the St. John Valley and points west.

You always have great photos. I really want to get a drone. Unfortunately it's a want, not a need. So will probably have to wait until Christmas.

That area did. I am about 5 air miles from there. They hail and high winds. The storm calmed down a bit by the time it got to my house.

I also bought a good manual rain gauge so that I could start reporting to https://www.cocorahs.org/ I implore everyone here to start that. This area is hurting for people and it would actually make a real difference since there data is ingested for model verification. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

The rocket launch this morning above the patchy fog.

A flood watch is in effect through midnight for the potential of some heavy rain. Some isolated spots could see the rain fall at 1" to 2" per hour. No doubt with our rain deficit let's hope we all see some beneficial rain today! Additional shower chances tomorrow before we start to clear out on Saturday. Today will be our 4th straight day with below normal temperatures this should continue through the weekend before we warm to normal on Tuesday in the mid-80's and above normal with near 90 by Wednesday. It looks like great weather for the All-Star Game in Philly next week.

I'm excited for this little toy to add to my sensor network. Hopefully will be here in a week. After that I'll have just about all the bases covered from ultrasonic winds to two rain gauges (one tipping bucket), to lightning detector, soil moisture at 5cm/30cm, soil temperature at 5cm along with conductivity, an indoor air quality sensor that has readings available at the 1, 2.5, 5, 10 ug level and CO2. The only little toys left are an evapotranspiration detector on back order that is sold as a "leaf wetness" detector and a really cool laser measurement one that is technically for water tanks but can be converted to snow measurement. That last one is so tempting but I feel like I would just be burning $70 with how little snow we've been getting around here. What I really need to do is get over my fear of heights a bit more so I can move my main sensor from 15 ft up to 25 ft Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

That is baseline for the QBO.....it's an oddity when it remains in the same phase for consecutive years.

What a few of us have been saying on here:

I just got nicked so managed .05" but it happened in 3 mins which is 1" per hour rates Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

What time will the Category 5 Giga Chad El Nino kill my puppy?

Giga-Nino 2026!! Chad or Chud!?! Click to see if DC will be #snowmaxxing this winter!!!!

D4 was cut back some in wake Durham and Franklin counties but overall not much change. Southeastern NC saw worsening of the drought with D4 introduced near Wilmington and an expansion of D3

Yeah…on my VP2 after like 10 years, the battery wouldn’t hold a charge and my station was in direct sunlight almost all day. Davis sent me a replacement capacitor to install. 6 months later, same issue. They told me most likely the solar panels were going bad and needed replaced, which would have been expensive. Also, the funnel rain gauge would clog all the time and I would miss rainfall because of it. It was a huge pain in the butt to get my data uploading to Weather Underground. I was never a fan of Weather Link. I decided on the Tempest! Should be a breath of fresh air having a compact little station with little to no maintenance. The Tempest App seems tons better and more interactive than Weather Link and I’ll be able to get notifications. The lightning detector on the Tempest is also a huge plus!

@Lakepaste25

I certainly don't care for a solid week in midsummer with maybe one hour of sun per day if you're lucky. And the humidity needs to start decreasing!

The poorly written, clickbait articles with dopey catch phrases are inbound.

An interesting trend with the QBO this decade, with it wildly swinging back and forth from +QBO to -QBO each year): 2020-21: +QBO (11.15) 2021-22: -QBO (-26.34) 2022-23: +QBO (12.89) 2023-24: -QBO (-25.86) 2024-25: +QBO (13.78) 2025-26: -QBO (-26.92) 2026-27: +QBO? (2027-28: -QBO?) (2028-29: +QBO?)
