Absolute destruction here-masssive flooding everywhere

Weather stations in Westport showing 8-9” in 3-4 hours

Wow, that is some massive production they put on!

.01” rain. incredibly disappointed but how about my Longhorns?!

0.19". Probably end with another meh. Meanwhile Rush at TD garden last night was fantastic Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

Congrats on 2”+

I almost wish Upton wouldn't go with a map like this when it's obviously a convective system. But yesterday the split screw area somewhere was pretty obvious. What a summer for coastal CT deluge.

Meh, we’ve heard that a lot the last 3 months only to end up with like .17. We’ll see how it goes.

I thought 2015 was that winter of non-stop snows after January 1st. Am I mistaking that? Was it Christmas 2014 when it was 70 degrees and then January 2015 when the snows started? I thought it was 2015 into 2016 but my memory sucks with these things...

Indeed. But Parnas is smart enough to know better. That’s a huge blunder for him. Typical DT supporters OTOH….

considering nyc is one of the warm spots for overnight lows what a launching pad to be one of the warm spots for high temps unless you only count central park and not other parts of the city where they are one of the warmest spots in the tri state area..

Strangely Upton's bullseye from yesterday looks to be the area that will see the lowest totals

CC has caused the poles to warm much more rapidly than the tropics. Thus, there’s less of need to move heat from tropics to poles. In theory that should mean a net drop in TCs. Although the ATL basin has yet to exhibit this (ignoring 2026, which is super Nino related), the W PAC sure has overall (esp when ignoring Nino related ‘26). Maybe the ATL will eventually have a CC related reduction, especially when -AMO returns.

Bouncy from BWI to pvd

This is going to rival the event in July that dropped 5-7 inches

The highest estimated stage of the Marmaton River at Ft. Scott reached 50.05 feet on the 14th which is the second highest stage ever recorded. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1999: Hurricane Floyd on the verge of Category 5 status steamed steadily westward about 250 miles east of Miami. Forecasters warned that Floyd was much more dangerous than 1992's Hurricane Andrew due to its size. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 2007: Hurricane Humberto made landfall just east of High Island, TX in the McFadden National Wildlife Refuge. Hurricane Humberto had maximum sustained winds near 90 mph and a minimum pressure of 985 millibars or 29.09 inches of mercury. Humberto made history due to its rapid intensification from a tropical depression the morning of September 12th, to a hurricane early on this date, as no other hurricane has ever strengthened so quickly close to landfall. Damage was estimated near $60 million dollars. Only five other storms in Atlantic Basin history has grown from a depression to a hurricane within 24 hours: Arlene & Flora in 1963, Blanche in 1969, Celia in 1970 (from depression to a Category 3) and Harvey in 1981. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 2008: Hurricane Ike made landfall as a Category 2 storm near Galveston, Texas. 2008: Hurricane Ike made landfall around 0700z along the northern end of Galveston Island, TX as a strong Category 2 storms with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph and a minimum central pressure of 28.14 inches of mercury. Prior to landfall, Ike covered an extensive area of the Gulf of Mexico with the largest radii of hurricane-force winds: 125 miles out from the center and tropical-storm force winds: 275 miles out from the center, ever measured. Much of Galveston and nearby coastal towns were left in shambles, and storm-surge damage extended well east into Louisiana. Ike resulted in 103 deaths across Hispaniola, Cuba and parts of the United States Gulf Coast and total damage at $32 billion dollars. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 2014: The 3rd of the top 10 US weather events according to Weatherwise magazine was the Boulder Colorado flash flood of September 9th through the 16th. This deluge dumped more than 9 inches of precipitation in 24 hours and 14 inches in four days on Colorado foothills unleashing furious flooding on Boulder and the surrounding towns. It damaged and destroyed 1800 homes, and washed out hundreds of miles of road, and cost $2 billion. (Ref.Weatherwise May/June 2013 page 15) 2017: Irma started on August 30th and reached its peak on Sep. 6th and hit FLA. on Sunday night Sep. 10th, 2017. On September 6, Irma reached its peak intensity with 185 mph (295 km/h) winds and a minimum pressure of 914 hPa (27.0 inHg), making it the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide so far in 2017. Another eyewall replacement cycle caused Irma to weaken back to a Category 4 hurricane, but the storm attained Category 5 status for a second time while making landfall in Cuba. After dropping to Category 3 intensity due to land interaction, the storm re-intensified to Category 4 as it crossed warm waters between Cuba and Florida before making landfall on Cudjoe Key with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h). Irma dropped back to Category 3 by the time it made a second Florida landfall on Marco Island 2017: The NWS Office in Reno, Nevada, issued their first tornado warning since July 21st, 2014. 2018: Hurricane Florence was a powerful and long-lived Cape Verde hurricane, as well as the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the Carolinas and the ninth-wettest tropical cyclone to affect the contiguous United States. The sixth named storm, third hurricane, and the first major hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, Florence originated from a strong tropical wave that emerged off the west coast of Africa on August 30, 2018. Steady organization resulted in the formation of a tropical depression on the next day near Cape Verde. Progressing along a steady west-northwest trajectory, the system acquired tropical storm strength on September 1, and fluctuated in strength for several days over open ocean. An unexpected bout of rapid intensification ensued on September 4– 5, culminating with Florence becoming a Category 4 major hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale with estimated maximum sustained winds of 130 mph

70 / 69 with 0.99 in the bucket so far. Rain should let up by noon and perhaps some late clearing.Trouggh moving through ahead of ridge building in by later Tue - Friday. Inland area mid / upper 80s Wed/Thu. Overall near normal once to 9/18 and beyond there. Need to watch some cutoff potential with the ridge buiding up above and/or some closeby tropics.

I knew it!

This is moronic on both levels. Thanking Trump for no hurricanes and saying it's due to anti-climate policies.

No, A. Parnas, the super Nino is not caused in part due to DT anti-climate policies!

Congrats

We’ll see how much we get here

Allot goes into OHC. But the main function of hurricanes is to redistribute heat from the tropics to the poles. OHC can absolutely build year over year. Deep OHC in the 100-300m zone is not impacted by local winds. It takes the upwelling caused by major hurricane winds to cause the water column that deep to overturn. .

May have to look into that . Seems better option than this

Maybe it's because somebody's prayer was answered. Heh.
