Well your first mistake is saying that my area is SW CT…anybody who knows my area knows this is not even close to SW CT. SW of you For sure…but not SW CT. WOR Central CT is the accurate location. It was raining everywhere west of the river by Saturday morning. So your call was way off in that regard. East and Northeast areas, where you are managed to stay dry. But for the majority of CT it was a wet Saturday.

Heat kicked on this morning

Ya we gotta be over 2” here…a big soaker for sure.

Temps evened out after the heat prior, imagine that. Some are too slow to understand. .15" additional rain, 1.80" total

But again the facts remain - either way we look at the data both raw and altered still shows a widening gap since 1970 - no reason to think that gap will not continue to widen.

mm what stands out to me is that all these operational runs are wildly colder than their respective ensemble clusters at 850 mb by several degrees. Just a-priori on operational model guidance in meridian/slope flow types, they tend to carry an amplitude bias in the mid range to a significant correlation frequency. I'll concede if by hour 72 the means have deepened, otherwise for this type of synoptic hemisphere we've seen this kind of cold sell before.

Visiting my wife's sister near Liberty, NC. I do not envy you piedmonters your red clay. They are doing a lot of construction on their property and there is a ton of bare ground, which is currently a gelatinous quagmire.

Close to 3 inches here-what an awful holiday weekend at least we salvage this PM to some extent.

back edge coming through here finally-that dropped another .75

More on the BoM warm bias: We remember how bad it was in 2023. But also: only 2 weeks ago, it had ~+1.15C for May (see image below) vs the latest’s only ~+0.55C in the image I posted in the previous post! It’s been doing this for 2 months and that’s the kind of thing it kept doing in 2023. We’re still likely headed for a super-Nino, but very likely not as warm as the RONI based ~+3.0C 3 month average super-super Nino the BoM is showing. It could easily be 0.5C too warm based on April/May and based on it being ~0.75 too warm around this point in 2023:

Just emptied the rain gauge. 2.04 inches since last Wednesday night.

Yes. They don't need to start completely over in terms of the players. That is why I think this can be turned around in a much shorter timeframe than before, and that another fire sale isn't necessary (not too many sellable veterans left anyway, lol).

What a deluge this morning. 49° R+

Saturday was dry until late day for most people. There in SW CT you were unlucky. This afternoon should slowly improve

2.37” in Syosset & raining currently.

Nino gonna Nino. I wouldn't say Summer cancel just yet, but if you're hoping for a pattern more accommodating to severe weather and persistent 80s/90s, it might be rough...

speak for yourself!! we snow!!!

I have hypothermia in the house this morning

Heck yeah!

2.02 total so far at my station

.22 rain today so far in Marysville.

Beautiful weekend to me
