@CoastalWx had a similar experience and was like this guy A wicked close strike hit the utility pole just outside when he lived in Dorchester, and he got shocked while he was on his PC (probably browsing AmrWx!). He was quite in shock and awe (couldn't stop talking about it when it came into work). And then the utility pole would not stop arcing!

Dude… every time I bring up an example where it’s getting harder to snow you argue. Then you drop this.

Really? That time it was coming into your basement when you lived in Dorchester, you were not thrilled!

This is more appropriate. Scott can WOO WOO for a big winter! LOL.

Based on radar and some of the wind observations today with the highest gusts being recorded inland from port Arthur, Nederland, to Beaumont, it seems almost likely the storm continued to strengthen for a period after landfall, contrary to NHC estimates

Storm totals so far with the worst falling between Warren and West Livingston. Storm motion is slowing, but the circulation is holding together quite well.

90 mph gust reported earlier in port Arthur: https://x.com/mattdevittwx/status/2094914628283224102?s=46&t=NyKvXvI1o-sJQb-68mmo4g

Seaside ? Wildwood? Point Pleasant ? LBI?

I think seeing our first Aleutian low of the El Nino will be key

Or maybe its right . The next two runs will be key .

Topped out at 95° at ORD and 94° at MDW yesterday. ...2026 90°+ Day Tally... 14 - MDW 13 - ORD 13 - RFD 12 - PWK 12 - ARR 11 - UGN 11 - LOT 9 - DPA

LOT runs high on DP's more often than not on higher DP days.

1:34am thunderstorms are trying to initiate again in West central Pa with still a decent amount of instability leftover in the mid and upper levels.

Decided to leave work a little early this evening in anticipation of some creek and river turbidity.

Yeah I heard the second The fire in my neighborhood turned out to be a shed fire, and the property owner was able to get the fire out before the fire company arrived. I heard sirens heading to another emergency shortly thereafter. The School house Ln fire was probably where they were heading. Hopefully everyone's okay. It wasn't the most strokes that i've ever seen, but man, the groundstrokes meant business.

^It must have an error with surface based warmth then.

0Z UKMET has Edouard’s little sis like the 12Z run sort of had with its 1010 non-TC low, but is notably stronger with it as it has it as a TD: NEW TROPICAL CYCLONE FORECAST TO DEVELOP AFTER 150 HOURS FORECAST POSITION AT T+150 : 28.8N 95.9W LEAD CENTRAL MAXIMUM WIND VERIFYING TIME TIME POSITION PRESSURE (MB) SPEED (KNOTS) -------------- ---- -------- ------------- ------------- 1200UTC 08.09.2026 156 29.5N 96.9W 1003 29 0000UTC 09.09.2026 168 31.1N 99.1W 1007 21

Don't use tropical tidbits for Cansips. Its 2m Temp maps are off bad. Like its not what Cansips really has. Look at the difference in tropical tidbits Jan compared with another site. I am not sure what Cansips forecasted for August but 500mb is not terrible

I'll give it another day or two before I post September forecast numbers for BKViking to submit. Here is the update on Max temps so far this summer. Reminder the error is for every degree off is only 1 point off. Green indicates that it was a record high tied or set that day of the max temp, most of these should remain untouched but will revisit this again in mid October. August results were updated on the bottom of last page.

wow wow wow. ground did get wet today, which was cool to see
