The mean DM PNA value for the 4 seasons mentioned in raindance's post above is +.15, which affirm my suspicion of a variable PNA that averages near neutral this season. I don't see that huge negative values in the mean and I think that notion that it has to be because it's a second year La Nina is every bit as dibious as that fallacy that all triple dip La Ninas have to be cold. Anticipated deeply negative PNA at your own peril IMHO.

Well, Halloween is reasonable I would say.

I still remember my kids first time at the beach. Very special. Have fun!

Don't do it. I always tell my family, "heat is a Thanksgiving treat".

While that does look like a season that certainly won't be prohibitvely warm in the mean, that doesn't exactly scream KU snowstorms to me, either....still looks like more of an overrunning and SWFE pardigm to me. I think the window for any big fish will be later in the season.

37.4° this morning. Eyeing the heat setting on the thermostat ominously.

Impressive temp and dewpoint spread across Maryland this morning. Bittinger is 40/39, while Berlin is 69/67.

The Delaware Water Gap area is a beautiful part of NJ. It’s too bad we don’t have a continuous record there going back as long as some of the other Sussex County observing sites. The Sussex airport has continuous records in August online going back to 2001. This August featured the lowest monthly reading of 43°. The old COOP which was nearby stoped posting data a few years ago. So it looks like it may have closed. Both the COOP and airport were operational back in August 2006. The airport had a low of 45° and the COOP 46°. Prior to the airport readings going online back around 2001, the coldest August reading at the Sussex COOP was 34° back in 1965. So if Walpack was 7° colder than the Sussex COOP back in 1965, then it could have fallen to around 27° in that much colder valley area than around the Sussex COOP and airport. Parts of NY and PA were also in the upper 20s during August 1965. That was the worst drought around the region in hundreds of years.

40.7° Coolest so far

Saptleton Airport was decommissioned, demolished, and replaced by Denver Center Park. The environment is quite different from what it was when record-keeping ended in 1995 at Stapleton Airport. The environment for the new ASOS isn't comparable to what it was at Stapleton Airport. The warming summers since 1995 isn't an artifact of Denver International Airport. It is a statewide phenomenon. 12/15 (80%) of Colorado's summers with a mean temperature of 67.0° or above and all nine of its hottest summers have occurred since 2000. Five of the last six summers (2023 being the exception) have had a mean temperature of 67.0° or above. Statewide maximum temperatures have risen somewhat faster than statewide mean temperatures.

Low of 56. Leaving for a little beach trip tomorrow morning. It will be the kids first time at the beach.

Pretty cool around here. I’m enjoying the start of the school year weatherwise. Makes it much easier.

40F Classic September type mornings lately.

Early next week maybe

Stein wins today. Was going for a few showers to wet the seed but he’s back.

Looks quite warm overall next 10+ days outside a potential cutoff low. September could definitely sneak an AN anomaly despite the cool start.

Congrats, WxUSAF! You win. I came in dead last lmao. I hand the Torch to Thee! Excellent Job!

Hey Rhino16, thank you very much! Why haven't they red-tagged you yet?

Now...this angle doesn't show when/how he left the field. Some people (presumably who were there) have said they saw him limp off a bit. Now the question is, then...why didn't Lamar stay on the field and insist on going for it if he wasn't in any real discomfort? From these post-game comments, Lamar obviously wanted to go for it. And Harbs usually listens to him--so what was different this time? This is why I don't think Lamar was lying. Now in that case...a timeout should've been called (probably worth the risk if Lamar could get back out there) P.S. You seem to forget that I'm a musician. We are prone to dramatic outbursts! It's literally in our dna

One factor to keep in mind with DEN is that the airport and primary station data for the city moved locations (further north and east of the city) in the mid 1990s. But the old Stapleton airport location has continued keeping records, and what that data shows is that the new location averages about 1-2 degrees warmer for highs most summers compared to the old one. So yeah, we do see more 90+ days than decades ago, but the "explosion" since the 1990s you reference has been also been enhanced by the airport location change.

Exactly. But not everyone follows that when attributing cause and effect.

lol so dramatic. There are plenty of folks who don't think cramping had anything to do with not going for it on 4th down. Also he got back up after this hit and walked off the field- didn't hobble.

I think going one and done in the playoffs again will do it. Besides...he seems...old. Not even having the energy he once did. He could just retire...

Man I'm telling ya I knew you were gonna come in and say that, lol Now in this case though I'm not defending Harbaugh like I was Rubinstein (before recent weeks). It's time for us to move on from Harbaugh because he's the main obstacle to us getting a ring. But cape just acting like Lamar lied about not being able to be in there and I called cap on that foolishness, lol
