I did some scarifying and overseeding over Labor Day weekend too, and seeing the same here.

The logic used to be a busier hurricane season favors blocking in the winter. Although that was kind of old school thinking, not sure if that is applicable now.

Eh...I see what you're saying, but ENSO doesn't operate in a vacuum. I get the sample size limitation, but we also need to consider that 3/4 Super El Ninos have occurred during the descending portion of the solar cycle, which is pretty hostile towards sustained high latitude blocking. I don't think that connection between descending solar and super El Nino is a coincidence, either.

1.61" overnight. Tropical out there this morning.

Usually the crickets slow down when it's chilly! On warm nights, they are roaring. My low yesterday was 54 (lowest IMBY since June 9) and this morning was 57. Am enjoying the dps in the 50s for a change. Currently 59 with dp 57.

Was Liam at the end of it?

I feel like Allison would rather not find out....

No need to worry, all we need is someone smart in charge

Shocker.... He favors blocking every season if you go back and read through his stuff. He keeps touting super El Nino as being very disruptive to the PV, but neglects the fact that we are 0-4 in triggering a SSW during a super El Nino. He likes to cherry pick data to suit his agenda...what he doesn't mention is that the portion of the solar cycle (descending) that predisposes the Pacific basin to super El Nino is very hostile to the development of sustained high latitude blocking. He harped on the sea ice pattern over the summer as a factor in the argument for blocking this winter, but failed to mention that it only has predictive value during the easterly phase of the QBO. Needless to say, I'm about as much of a fan of his work as he is of objectivity. That said, they do make for interesting reads and he has some cool graphics.

You wonder if these temps last through January.

fine by me, people need to be reminded that bad consequences result from poor decisions

It looks like next week will be another one of those "heavy rain threats". I actually hope it fails. My business has a packed schedule and it all needs to get done by Dec 1.

53 this morning.

Not happening. But I think they made a discord to all fight together on.

euro p wet for many of us as we begin the seasonal transition

56 degrees this morning .

57 upon leaving the house. Some humidity returns for a couple days but all in all not bad. Not much rain to be had.

I did my aerate and overseed on Labor Day weekend. dropped the seed last Monday and patches on Tuesday. already have sprouts about an inch tall.

A powerful 6000+ meter 500 mb ridge over the region will keep conditions hot and humid with no meaningful rain potential. BNA reached a record-setting 100 degrees Tuesday and there is no reason to doubt it will happen again Wednesday as the ridge intensifies directly overhead. Record high temperatures are in jeopardy each day this week.
