Like a ball park 9-9-9 challenge. 200 tornados 200 inches of snow 200 sunny mid-70s days I dont this this is too much to ask.

I couldn't find my solar eclipse glasses from when I went to Newport VT for the last one.. I was hoping to get a glimpse but pics will have to do

I've received 15.69" of rain since July 4th. Yes, nearly 11" of that has come via two single events on July 5 and August 7, but hey, I'll take it. Fun times.

That's what I did when forecasting Juno and that's when I realized meteorology wasn't for me

When might that be? Ain't seeing it.

I would call that more of a Gulf of Alaska low. Aleutian low typically is further west by the Aleutians.

Totally forgot about that.

MDR is showing signs of life for a brief moment at least. Might get two TCs out of it. Would need to watch if they get shunted toward the U.S.

There’s nothing like totality, but this never gets old.

PDS flash flood warning is one you dont see often.

I desperately need the A.C. on all summer. I'm not comfortable in the heat at all, so my electric bill is high in the summer. I actually do much better in the cold.

Also as bluewave says, summers have been more front loaded as of late. The last seriously hot late summer was back in 2023 with a run of mid 90s the first week of september.

Climo does start fighting back hard. Late august and september are the time of year with the steepest declines in the highs. Yes 90s can happen but it gets significantly harder than in june and july. Also interesting take that anything less than 90s and upper 80s is "cold". Are you a reptilian?

I am not impressed w/ this cntrl Pacific system (now PTC 01C). It is broad and monsoonal, and lots of dry air at mid-levels just to its NW over a large area along w/ stable stratocu present (see WV and VIS attached). A trough develops over HI as the system approaches the Big Island (see 850-200 shear attached at 90 hr), so another negating factor. Being a larger monsoonal-type TC, this prevents it from becoming tight and solid RI phases. Also, long parcel trajectories around the system promote more dry air intrusions into the center. I think it will be no worse than a typical strong Kona low HI gets almost every winter. Significant impact yes, but one has to look beyond the media hype and the fact it has a name. That does not change actual wind, surf, or rain. 50 kt winds and 20" of rain is the same whether it comes from a TC or ET low. Even though direct TC strikes on HI are uncommon, they are used to such conditions (a strong TS) from Kona lows. That makes a big difference for preparations and overall less shock and awe. I like to look at the SHIPS output for TC as you can sum up things fairly quickly as to shear and dry air issues in the fcst. Here is the 12/12z run for 01C: https://hurricanes.ral.ucar.edu/realtime/plots/northcentralpacific/2026/cp932026/stext/26081212CP9326_ships.txt Look at the SHEAR (KT) and SHEAR DIR lines, You see it increases by 72 hr, not high, but look at the direction, out of the W, and w/ the TC moving to the W? That's a problem. And the 700-500 MB RH line. Environmental mid-level RH is key. Anything bellow 60% is not good and you can see it drops below 40% by 84 hr. The are many others items in the SHIPS output, but the shear and RH I find most useful. Now, there are caveats. When you have a large and strong TC, it can fight off modest shear and its inner core can remain isolated from dry air in the surrounding environment., Shear and RH values front he SHIPS did *not* work well at all for HU Ian in Sep 2022 leading up to the FL landfall. Shear was quite strong (over 30kt ) and RH below 60%, and it still intensifies to a Cat 5! But for nascent or weaker TCs, modest shear and dry air at mid-levels are typically a significant hindrance. When these factors are present, it's hard for any TC to get above Cat 2 strength. For 01C, I think 60 kt for a peak is a good fcst. Once it gets well beyond HI near the Dateline, it looks like it could become much stronger.

It is going to be interesting to see if One-C makes landfall in any of the Hawaiian islands. That doesn't happen too often.

suicide wx... haven't crested 70W/m^2 of solar radiation the entire day, and it's just been drizzling for about 10 hours. 0nly 0.63" to show for it...

Skeeters are gonna suck next week, literally

Dew lovers are united and unhappy.

That rain may not survive the mountains this afternoon. They keep shredding any showers with which they interact. Outside is a rather weird filtered sunshine through very high level clouds here in Hickory.

Or pitch against them

Final 90 degrees last year was 8/17.
