Had to mow my grass for the 2nd time in a week. Never want to complain about rain though and it has held the temps down. Mosquitos are at plague level. Looks like we may hit 90 next weekend. Good news is after next Saturday it gets darker earlier everyday until Christmas.

Congrats—was that in Westborough too? I hope it goes quickly—I dont want to mow 3 lawns.

Yeah, that’s what the Euro is hinting at around 10+ days out. Once these heat domes begin to flex the MCS train gets going over the Upper Midwest and race eastward. They seem to have been finding a way to go north or south of us in recent years. But eventually we’ll probably see another big one again.

Terrible. Couldn’t get the upstairs below 75 last night.

Next shot at any interesting thunder/severe looks like the 19th

I prefer His Holiness but I’ll let it slide this one time.

Thank you Jesus.

Honestly, AI is probably the future for forecasting. AI in its current form is just an advanced pattern recognition program. It is already able to flag cancer years before it would ever be caught by doctors, so being able to accurately predict storms ahead of time seems like a good fit. And this in conjunction with actual human meteorologists will simply improve the accuracy that much more.

Yeah, the 90° day count rises pretty quickly here in CT once we move inland from the shore. But not as extreme as NJ has been recently. I get a few more 90° days than Islip. for January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

I think that weekend rain patterns break after next week.

I don't mind the rain, but for phucks sake, can it rain on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and let us have the weekend

I hate sleet this past October

We are on NYC this weekend so of course it will rain.

We also need a respectable 500 mb pattern. Looks like the "best" climo is one that features a ridge flexing NW -> SE from Kentucky to Bermuda. Kinda of laying the train tracks for us.

yeah we had the same issue last week for our upstairs unit....was fixed Sat but then it cooled off lol

Anyone heading to OC MD this weekend for the Air Show? I'll be there and am hoping to squeak out decent weather for later Saturday and Sunday, sounds like chance of showers and cloudy right now.

May that day, to the disappointment of some, never come. As always ….

My AC broke yesterday, at least it will be a cool weekend!

While I was waiting to undergo pre-op tests, I watched nurses helping a surgery patient practicing on stairs, almost certainly on the day after his operation. I anticipate going thru the same, as there's 8 steps to enter our place - fortunately has rails on both sides. Hazy sun here, will be cooler than yesterday's 74. Fantastic evening. Warm, slight breeze. A few birds still calling and fireflies starting to come out. First firefly sighting here was June 3 and by the 5th (high was 86 that day) we had lots.

That might be a good pattern to get MCS or derechos to track through from the Midwest. Looks like a ring of fire type pattern.

Dewpoints are currently at nice levels, we take

It's all good. The winter lovers have been shortchanged the past few years. Guess it's my turn.

About 5 years ago during this period, I ken 5 or more days of clear sunny skies in a row; unheard of even during summer months here. Not even 2012 had that kind of streak I'm aware of. We had a couple good days, now back to grunge.

A pretty nice day on tap across the area before shower chances begin to increase late tonight. Of course, the weekend looks have some rain at times. Although, not a complete wash out with the best chances of rain late tonight through Sunday morning. Rain chances to lessen by Monday night but ramp up again by midweek. Does anyone remember those drought concerns?
