So sorry to hear. sending lots of positive vibes your way

0.36" of rain yesterday with a general 1/2" around the head of the Lake. N WI really needed it with a D3-4 ongoing.

57 and cloudy; quite the turnaround from yesterday.

Yeah it seems like in SoMD pretty much everything is better in a nina other than drought. I still miss a good noreaster even if it if mostly white rain. But not this never ending gloom shit.

So sorry to hear that @RickinBaltimore. My condolences to you and your family

I knew the worst drought areas around the triad were trending down in precipitation but literally to get 0.00” over a large area after a forecast of a widespread 1”+ totals just a couple days out stinks. We have had some rain here but likely ending up <0.40” for the weekend

Hi everyone. If you can, please think some good thoughts for me and my family right now. Dad passed away yesterday afternoon after a series of back and forth trips to the hospital. His lungs just finally stopped working. He fought like hell that is for sure to keep going, but his body was finished. It's an odd feeling right now, after Ravens games I'd give him a call to talk about the game. Today, I'm going to the funeral home to plan his viewing and service. Rest well Dad. And give Mom all my love.

Whatever develops (or doesn’t) in the gulf late week will be the last chance at a hurricane this season

Chilly morning, low of 54

Miller Ass Miller BS Just give me a bunch of nice safe SWFEs where I don’t have to worry about deform bands, screw zones, downsloping, etc.

Talking about Southern New England, though not the mid Atlantic. Don’t care about MEHSIS

Soaker in the southeast / Gulf this week othwise the sw deserts dry out and the rest of the nation dries out, should start seeing wetter weather into California after their record heat this weekend and coming week.

Not sure if it was just this morning drizzle or also the rain yesterday and Friday. They also don’t try too hard for fall baseball I’ve learned.

WxDoctor) 2013: While western South Dakota was dealing with a crippling blizzard, the tri-state region of Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa saw several tornadoes, including an EF-4. This violent tornado started 2 miles southwest of Climbing Hill, Iowa, flattening corn crops and snapping tree trunks. As the tornado moved northeast, it intensified and struck a farmstead approximately 5 miles west-northwest of Correctionville, Iowa. Sheds and other buildings were severely damaged or destroyed, with the residence being severely damaged. The tornado continued to increase in both size and magnitude as it continued on its trek northeast. The tornado reached its maximum intensity 2.5 miles south of Pierson, Iowa, when this mile-wide tornado struck two farmsteads. Numerous outbuildings and barns were destroyed, with farm equipment being tossed over 400 yards. It was here that the tornado was rated EF-4. The tornado stayed southeast of Pierson, Iowa, and to the west of Washta, Iowa. Before lifting, the tornado produced more tree damage and downed power poles and lines 2 miles west of Washta, Iowa.

62 / 53 mostly cloudy. Scattered showers upper 60s to low 70s not too much rain today or over the next 5 days. 10/5 - 10/8 overall near to below normal first 40s since may in the coastal/city areas perhaps a few 30s inland coolest since later sep and / or late May. 10/8 - 10/12 overall above normal and chance of 80 in the warmer spots 1 or 2 days in there. Beyond there we'll see if we turn wetter and deal with a more southerly flow and any late season tropical remnants of the gulf.

Is there a good radar that picks up drizzle. How can fields be closed from mist?

the garage is not wide enough, so it needs to be super orderly to fit 2 cars. I built shelving and hanging points for stuff so 2 cars (barely) fit. keeping a bunch of next to worthless junk occupying a garage space when a 20 or $30K vehicle sits in the driveway getting pummeled by the weather is a mindset I don't understand currently 50/50F, off a morning low of 47

Got 32F here. Third frost of the season.

Also-I’ve been reading the ENSO discussions about super El Niño and wondering how this is going to affect our winter….
