Absolute Steining . Unreal

Nope. Homogenization is accepted science. Thoroughly tested over decades. Proven to obtain the correct climate information from raw temperature when station changes have occurred. The raw temperature data in Chester County is contaminated by myriad station moves and changes. Assuming that Coatesville and other Chesco COOPs stayed in exactly the same spot with zero equipment and method changes over decades will give you the wrong climate answer every time. The cooling of Coatesville between 1945 and 1949 relative to other stable regional stations between 1945 and 1949 is well documented in this thread. The regional raw temperature data is 100% conclusive on this point. Comparison of Coatesville to Phoenixville over the period 1941-75, is immaterial; because, as the bottom chart shows, Phoenixville had a station break in 1948. The Phoenixville and Coatesville station breaks occurred at different times proving that they are not weather-related. Mike's analysis and the NCEI bias adjustments are completely independent, derived from 2 different sources of information. Mike uses the station records. Bias adjustments use raw temperature data. The fact that they agree so well shows how powerful and accurate homogenization is. The fact that bias adjustments capture the Chester County station breaks accurately is very well documented in this thread. The fact that you cannot accept what the raw data and station records show is on you.

Impressive light show last night and still more heavy rain. I have to mow every three days at the rate the grass is growing, which is stupid in August.

Had some light showers.

Lots of damage in the Milford/Orange area. 5k power outages all in one small area.

guidance craps the iowa mcs out as it heads east but the remnant boundary lights up later over cyclone

Beast of a storm over Montauk.

No I was literally still half conscious in bed. Thankfully still no in my REM sleep.

Nah it was the webbed hand of his sleep demon knocking on the door. Dual-pol instantaneous rates are consistently pushing 6-8"/hr with that thing though.

67 degrees this morning. Appears the smoke is back.

Surprised you thought construction... "Nearby thunder? Can't be. It's more likely the sound of Stein crushing my hopes and dreams. Back to bed." Hoping it makes it to the coast. I'd take .25" at this point, as I've got 1.43" MTD but that was all back on 8/3.

Plenty of examples of Niño, Niña and Nada storms at this link. https://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/

10.87”/hr rain rate. Pretty much lined that one up perfectly. 1.12” going back to last night (0.14” + 0.98” this morn) I was half conscious hearing distant booms. I thought it was construction at first. This lightning had an extra vigor to it. 59°

Great. Now everyone's going to start whining.

Took one look at radar and first thing I said was 'damn, dendrite about to get smoked!'

Sounded like some peas outside hitting the stove pipe and roof, but wasn’t going out in these CGs to check. Had a couple flash booms.

He is also 5 posted. He reminds me of DT. Can dish it but cant take it. Snowman19 is also like this on Twitter.

Damn what a lightning show. Pounding right now

That cell woke me at 4:30. good rain and thunder with that one

Tremendous thunder and lightning overnight, it's been quite the thunderstorm season. .49" getting me to 3.00" for the month. Not much wind here thankfully but I know the NWS is looking for any damage reports just east of me as radar indicated possible straight line winds. @hudsonvalley21, how did to make out?

@dendrite the chickens look to get a nice drink
