Very impressive satellite shots this morning! Lots of room for additional intensification next 12-24 hours before shear kicks in. We'll see how strong it can get but that is one impressive satellite presentation going on both in intensity and size.

Skunked on the rainfall again IMBY. On a brighter note it is really pleasant out there this morning. Temperature of 59, low humidity and a nice breeze. Very refreshing for a change!

Recon flying circles in the eye, pressure in the mid to upper 930s. Back up to around 120 kts

This could have some of the most substantial indirect impacts we've seen. It's already very large and could double by the time it nears Hatteras. Substantial coastal erosion, flooding, even TS impacts along the coast.

An update from yesterday's run for week of 8/25 fwiw.

GEFS ensemble puts SEMA in the picture. Run is pretty west and has jumped big time over the last day. This has trended west almost this entire time. I’d guess it is gonna just keep going west until it runs into NC and then goes north to scrape Cape Cod.

Some records from 1993 have been very difficult to beat. It still remains the only year where the warm spots had 100° heat from June through September. Was the only year with 9 days getting to 100°. But the 2020s are getting close to surpassing the 1990s for total 100° days with 4 years to go. The 2020s only need 3 more 100° days to set the new record.

The forecast track really hasn't shifted all that much over the last few days when taking into consideration that it would have taken a few hundred miles in shift to bring direct impacts to the coast Edit: by direct impacts I mean getting into the core of the storm. The impacts of beach erosion will likely be moderate to severe, which is definitely impacted by any westward shifts)

I was leaving the jersey shore and getting gas in Brick when the storms rolled thru. Lightning struck directly across the street and everyone lost power….after 3 gallons

Didn't get much fanfare but yesterday was the hottest day of the month in Boston.

Not sure about Phoenix as a whole. But the heat island effect looks saturated at the Sky Harbor airport which isn't far from downtown. Actual and adjusted temperatures have warmed at the same rate since 1980. This means that the airport is warming at the same rate as regional sites outside of the Phoenix heat island. Before 1980 there is evidence of heat island warming at the airport (or some other site specific issue).

I just closed a couple.

Westward'ho. The track keeps ticking wnw. It's going to be close for obx i believe,she's making her own way tbh,a total monster of a storm currently.

49.4° 30s up yonder

Had 1.90" in the COCORAHS gauge this morning.

Down to 61F in E CT, only 0.05” here, not nearly enough. The good news is the air is off for most of the week!

45 outside, 50 at the kitchen island- I probably shouldn't have left all the windows open last night

Picked up 0.87" of rain last night. Well done, atmosphere.

Trade winds/EWBs look to strengthen significantly in the coming couple of weeks which will enhance a more La Niña and -AAM regime as we go into met fall

Definitely cool out there and breezy.

Orioles shut out Astros 2 out of 3 games... I never saw that coming! Lol

This is way more intense than Georges was, especially after Georges interacted with land throughout the Caribbean. In fact, if I recall, Georges sort of underperformed in the Gulf of Mexico.

30c water temps working their magic. We see it in the gulf and west pac. Here we go with the Atlantic version.
