Yeah warm next week and then cooler post 10th.

That was hilarious.

97-98 does show up as an analog for me but it’s vastly overwhelmed by more positive ones. 2010,11,12 had a lot of similarities to 2026 summer and spring. I’ve got about 5 more also but gotta find my notes

78F/DP 65F Almost below 50...

Pretty sure it’s the Teletubby Sunstein image

What did you do to be stuck in his beast of a man shed?

I’ve been working storm over here (Cook Co. Will Co. Lake Co. and DuPage Co.) since Monday night. Lots of damage. Will upload some pics soon.

Euro also trying for something.. but heads ots which is expected

Qpf wise seems like it does favor those same general areas that have had it all month . Might be like a Philly to W CT up to ORH special . Just hoping at least it’s with convection. I know you need the rain , but these boring rain events just provide no excitement

You can almost imagine solar panel daily power generation charts showing 0kW because they’re underwater.

Hopefully another 4-8” for SW CT.

Hopefully Monday at least offers storm threat and not another boring 1-4” inch rainer . Doesn’t even have to be severe. Just give some thunder chances

I mean it was just a dinky potential shower, but literally nothing reached the ground. Blue sky moving in. I’m about to take the emoji down.

At this point I almost have to check myself that you running some AI prompt “Remove radar echoes on this image when they get near the chicken.”

That Twins game is probably one of the most amazing finishes i've ever witnessed in baseball. Win Twins

Most Super El Nino's in history had a +AO/+NAO. It's not actually as correlated as that, so the sample is biased a little warm.

Indeed - not an expert on the subject but that's almost certainly the case. Not just better firefighting equipment so much, but better detection and tracking methods (primarily satellite). Of note is that, in the US at least, there are essentially no more manned fire towers - they're all just obsolete and for tourists these days. That plus there are more people living in areas that used to be remote, thus it's less likely that given fire will grow to unmanageable size before it gets noticed. To the subject at hand though - in general it's completely invalid to point to localized (time or region) flare-ups of wildfire activity and blame them on climate change, since the overall trend is downward. MMGW deniers will point to this and assume / assert that the data cherry-picking is done for all data. As such - my advice to anyone trying to use data to prove MMGW - don't use wildfire data, because it's not a valid indicator.

Up to 9.4 for the month at my station.

An EF0 and an EF1 Posted the survey results in the Severe weather thread

I left my car windows cracked thinking the worst was over My drive home will be slightly moist.

Severe storms moved into the region during the afternoon of July 28. One of the storms that progressed through Talbot County Maryland produced two distinct tornadoes in Trappe, Maryland. Multiple witnesses reported the tornado that affected the Backtown Road fully dissipated before the storm crossed over Highway 50. The storm then produced another tornado on the east side of Highway 50 near Tarbutton Mill Road. The NWS would like to thank Talbot County Emergency Management and area residents for their assistance in this survey. .Backtown Road Tornado...

The highest estimated wind speeds were from roof damage to one of the large metal buildings in the industrial park. The metal roof covering was blown off and some of the roof trusses were damaged. Next to the industrial park large branches were broken on trees in the yard of a residence. The last damage noted was a distinct convergent damage path through part of a corn field on the north side of Backtown Road. Beginning and end points of this path are estimated due to lack of access. .Tarbutton Mill Road Tornado... Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 70-80 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.34 miles Path Width /maximum/: 30 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: July 28 2026 Start Time: 6:18 PM EDT Start Location: 1.4 NNE Trappe / Talbot County / MD Start Lat/Lon: 38.6786 / -76.0519 End Date: July 28 2026 End Time: 6:19 PM EDT End Location: 1.6 NE Trappe / Talbot County / MD End Lat/Lon: 38.6792 / -76.0456 Survey Summary: The first damage at this location noted was a large branch broken from a tree.
