What you guys worried about? AI and advanced robots WILL change our world for the better. That is GOOD news for very young people. It is BAD news for me because this is all gonna happen well past my time. I know everything about what is coming BUT I am just too damned OLD. Maybe if I won a 2.7 billion dollar lottery, took the cash option, set up a directed trust, and got with some of Ray Kurzweil's doctors, maybe I'd see 2045 and have a shot and an incredibly long life. But I won't. The BIG year is 2050. General AI + advanced robots = all work done by robots, Humanity will be able to do whatever it wants. I was excited at first, but once I found out Musk is still trying to source 10000 parts for Optimus Robots, I realized we are looking at a 20 year time horizon at least. Poor Musk. It'll take him to 2038 just to have a workable robot that can do everything a human can do. Musk will amass 200 trillion dollars and will probably live for 10000 years but it will all come just a bit too late for me. It's gonna happen very soon and will be a super good ending for Man - but I was born about 15 years too early. I'll miss out. Darn. Many of you people who are in your 20s, 30s, 40s ---- You are likely going to live at least 500 years. Because all the incredible medical breakthroughs in the next 15-20 years, and you will still be young enough or at least still ALIVE. Now, if we had a Miracle. Musk makes incredible breakthroughs. We develop good gravity control, ACTIVE not passive gravity control, We make unprecedented medical breakthroughs, develop antiaging protocols, turn me back to about 39 when I am 68 in 2032, well I think I'd probably make it after all then I'd hit practical escape velocity along with probably billions of other people, Earth is crowded, I get to train in an off-planet field and have an all-new career, that could span hundreds, if not thousands of years...... It won't be me. But some of you WILL! Some of you, under those parameters, with enough time passing, you will be able to do it. You'll live as long as you want. You'll have children, grandkids, great grandkids, great great grandkids, great great great grandkids, and you will be as old as you want, for as long as you want. Many of you will travel the world then the galaxy in the future when we will have transports that can move at effectively hundreds of times the speed of light! Man I wish this could be me. But if you are young enough now, IT WILL BE YOU. One day the world will change naturally and you will be a part of it! I'll be cheering you guys on from wherever I am lol.

Euro showing cooler weather this weekend but then wants to build another heat dome right over us. The way this summer has gone im inclined to believe it.

Hey folks in the DMV - Big brobdingnagian rain blob is moving inexorably YOUR way! It's gonna RAIN BUT GOOD on you all! Hey could ya please send some of that OUR way please? We got nuthin but a big 'ole Sonoran upper level RIDGE over Texas - and it's supposed to stay put thru early October with upper 90s every day, upper 70s to low 80s every night! Ugh!

AI

Euro

Euro deluge

Probably out of time, but it was a good effort lol.

We don’t look at the GFS, but it’s a damn good hit. AI twin is west too.

0.80" here. Not bad. Good drink for the vegetable garden.

OK, I'll send it Tuesday. What's the postage like for 2" of rain? Got 0.36" with tonight's surprise storm. I'll take it, though Centennial Airport (measuring station 4 miles south) got 1.01".

I'll trade you 2" of rain for a low dew point. I've got extra. I just want a dew point of like 30 or something, really.

.19" on the day here....so spitting.

The Phoon headed towrads SE Janpan is doing nothing,its warning the Yellow Sea and even Sea of Japan SSTS,general speaking there really dont seem like there is break down of the PDO any where soon,these waters shouldnt be warm but cold in a +PDO

Yes, you can clearly see the outflow plume on the N side getting squashed by nrly shear. It is moving steadily S now as well. S movement outside an eye wobble loop usually means not good times ahead as it takes quite strong flow to push a TC bodily S. Most of the time, the LLCC gets exposed in short order. An exception I can think of was Joaquin Oct 2015, but that was much farther S (22-23N) and over the Gulf Stream. Solid, strong banding on the E side of Fay now, but the W side convection is waning.

Yes. Gonna be close. Window has begun to close. If I was to wager I would say Fay does not make it to Hurricane status. Unless there is a Special Update (doubtful) between now and 5am I don’t think it makes it. I highly doubt it would be upgraded at 5am. We’ll see soon enough.

And there full LEAVES on the TREES! One thing @CoastalWxneeds to account for here for the winds.
