And it begins....WB 0Z EPS snow totals.

Several models dumping 2-4" of rain over parts of Iowa later today and tonight. Hoping the sloppy seconds from that can deliver a good half inch in this area.

Gas prices jumped again today. Good thing it's almost over. “Oil prices will drop precipitously, like everything else is dropping (but more!), when we WIN the war with Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Three Dollars a gallon, but ultimately, below Two Dollars a gallon. It will all happen quickly, and Iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon.”

plus he will be wrong because that El Nino had a positive PDO this one will more than likely have a negative PDO - this video explains

0.35” at MSP, largest precipitation event since July 30th and nearly our entire August total.

Our chilliest spots like Warwick Township reached the 40's (49.7) for a low this morning. We should rebound to near normal temperatures for Early September with highs not far from 80 degrees with continued low humidity. Tomorrow looks to be our warmest day of the week with 80's for most spots. We turn wetter on Thursday and cooler to close out the work week.

Meanwhile….. .06” in a little over a week

No doubt it screwed up the beginning of the month. But there's a long way to go is really my point and all 3 ensembles are pointing to a change in the pattern. Fortunately, it's September and not DJ or F.

I seen our last female on Sunday, not since. I wish they stayed longer.

If Chicago is 0 the rest of the month, they finish +3. And the Euro is showing a big ridge in the medium range. It's not a good forecast, the model can't even factor in the first 6 days right.

usually he's pulling out the 09-10, 02-03 analogs so interesting he's so bearish.

Next 10 days look warmer than average with perhaps some cooler readings day 11-15.

good looks like a snowy winter around here if he said that

I have a couple of low spots than need filling from stumps that have been rotting away over the decades, have been holding off until we get some rain

Still to see where the ridge forms mid month for a warmer period - 9/14 - 9/18th tendency has been more SW and we ride the periphery, but there have been several runs between and back and forth from the gfs and eur on a more expansive EC ridge. Whatever warmup we realize the period beyond the 18th looks to have a brief but crisp cooldown in the period till the equinox.

how many struggling independent ski resorts is this nino going to put out of business?

I overseeded, but thanks to Stein I need to lug a bunch of sprinklers around for at least 5-7 days

68 / 57 another gorgeous day on tap Warmer the next 48 hours mid - upper 80s maybe a stray 90 in the hot locations inland, ahead of a front that could bring some showers, storms or scattered rain / clouds on thursd. A period of near normal this upcoming weekend before ridge comes east and where it builds will be key in how much warmth can push into the northeast from mid month (next week). Overall warmer in the period beyond Sunday.
