Not bad. I would've liked that amount to water the vegetable garden. Hopefully I'll have better luck here tomorrow. As others have pointed out, the coverage of storms should be better tomorrow.

^Switching to more El Nino's in the coming time may not mean colder US Winter's. I've always contended that La Nina is the colder pattern anyway if you take the static of NAO out of the equation.

0.84"

These dews are insane I hope he's happy up there on the mountain. Doesn't really need to be much more than 80 when the dews are this high

Japanese Beetles. Everywhere.

It’s wild how unremarkable 80-degree dews have become in recent years, they’re bout as run-of-the-mill as a highs in the low 90’s at this point.

The 20 most recent warm minus cold CONUS Winter's.. 1993-2025. This is SSTA's Sept-Nov before. east-based El Nino hugging the American coast is the biggest signal July before.. +2c off of Peru there is really strong for most recent 20 years/33.

Well, I picked up 0.00" of rain. Maybe the next couple of days will do something. It's needed here.

In my view, the climate change apocalypse has already arrived. By “apocalypse,” I mean a profound transformation rather than total destruction, while acknowledging that at some point of warming, total destruction would become a viable scenario. The evidence is unmistakable to any objective observer: more frequent and extreme heatwaves, intensified precipitation events, accelerating aridification in the Desert Southwest and parts of Europe, and vast marine heatwaves disrupting ocean ecosystems. Scientists have laid out these findings clearly, coherently, and convincingly. Science has not failed us. Instead, it is many of our leaders, both political and corporate, who have failed. Entrenched in a status quo from which they profit, they are prisoners of tunnel vision, unable or unwilling to see the full picture. They lack the courage to enact the changes needed to prevent this transformation from worsening. Instead, they display staggering creativity in inventing excuses for inaction. They pour vast energy into preserving an unsustainable and increasingly destructive system. They claim that a world that does not burn fossil fuels is impossible. Yet history proves otherwise. Society has achieved far greater transformations within even tighter timelines. It harnessed atomic energy in a desperate race against the Nazis, sent humans to the Moon in less than a decade, and largely phased out CFCs to save the ozone layer in the 1990s. Society could have undertaken a similar transition away from fossil fuels. Moreover, the level of difficulty was less than that for atomic energy or the Apollo Project. This time, society had decades rather than years to act. Ultimately, society chose another path, not because a transition was impossible, but because too many of its leaders lacked the courage to break free from the familiar, comfortable status quo.

It is tropical out

In general, global warming does lend itself to providing more moisture, but certainly every event cannot be blamed on that. Floods have been happening since the beginning of time. A large portion of society have flocked to live in coastal areas. Others inhabit areas below sea level. And our population keeps encroaching on what used to be rural areas, so more and more people are affected by bad weather. I can't believe anybody on this site believes in "Chemtrails"...

It has been that way for many years.

Modest (at best) shear but a lot of cape and some downdraft cape. I guess it’s worth a SLGT, but right now, it’s a low- end SLGT.

But not in Atlanta, where they had a ~4.5” (major) snowstorm in early Jan, the biggest since the 3/1993 blizzard.

I’ve been hanging at the town swimming area for the past hour and the breeze with mostly cloudy conditions is delightful. 84°

^Man what a horrible SSTA map, lol Best thing is northern Indian Ocean isn't that warm.

i see them right here in the local park. they are in all counties in nj now; you can spot them in raritan near the landfills too.

Looks like another temperature Ghost Station with the Coatesville 1E precipitation only station....generating high and low daily temps without the observer doing so! Thought ghost data ended back in 2014....looks like it continued right through the end of 2022....

Crazy fast!

Hmmm I guess that's why there's all those mostly flat, easy to build on FLOODPLAINS along those bigger rivers. I guess that got away from them.

True-any storm will be slow moving...

It's a steambath out there. The right trigger and we could easily see massive flooding

It’s stifling out.
