Describe the sound made when a sheep explodes.

About 1" of rain from the last system. Foliage is at peak here. A super peak! It will all be over by the weekend.

Must say, you have done an exemplary job with your diagnosis of this El Nino. Kudos, and genuinely glad to have you back.

This WWB is record-breaking, much, much stronger and much further east than the massive one we had back in October, 1997. It’s going to spawn another DWKW and cause a big warming burst again in regions 1+2, 3 and 3.4

I’m a little late, but I finally got the chance to check out the CPA Weather Lab site you put together and wanted to say thanks. Really nice interface with a lot of useful info one place for our neck of the woods. Appreciate your efforts! .

Tool bag....always beware of the "forecasting" entities that use gaudy AI visuals...it's a compensation.

Decent QBO analogs.

Another record event was set this week: 13 tornadoes have been confirmed in NC alone making this the single largest tornado outbreak from a tropical system In the states history. Also the Fayetteville tornado was upgraded to EF2 which isn’t surprising given the damage pics. Very fortunate there weren’t more injuries across the state. Isaias will not be forgotten here. One of the tornadoes In louisburg touched down less than 200 yards from my farm and the survey team was out there Monday

Raw raw sis boom bah

Torch!

Sunny and summery

He actually calls his baby Niño.

Guessing the only thing that could save DCA from latest 90 on record is a river wind most of the day? I don’t actually know what the wind direction is supposed to be…

Getting a light rain shower in Fairfax City while only about 40% cloud cover, and a rainbow too!

Cool and raw. 45° 0.63” total. Underwhelming.

Ahhhhh... another beautiful fall morning.... wait a second. WTF!

I think you’re leaning into those NCAR correlation maps too much. Cool season ENSO Nino influence is generally the strongest DJFM. There’s no universe where you can convince me that October or November exhibit better cool season Nino influence than December. Also the QBO has its own influence. Westerly QBO tends to be associated with the buildup of Strong East based Ninos, and if we’re relying on correlations, it tends to interfere with what you’d expect during a Nino early on during the season.

Your viewpoint on renewables is outdated and misinformed. Yes,renewables were not competitive in the past and required subsidies. Now however they are fully competitive in many markets, without considering climate and energy security benefits. Renewable/EV competitiveness vs fossil fuels will only improve in the future as fossil fuels deplete, renewable and battery technology improves and climate impacts compound. The investment in renewables has paid off in spades. Now we have additional low cost energy supply at a time when fossil fuels are struggling to meet increased demand. Per study linked below, Europe saved 100 billion euros due to renewables in 2021-2023 when energy prices spiked due to the Russia/Ukraine war. That cost saving has only increased since. https://www.iea.org/reports/renewable-energy-market-update-june-2023/how-much-money-are-european-consumers-saving-thanks-to-renewables

Dews in 60s. We steamy.
