I think I love summer ...but I also love big synoptic winter storms. I want those, evenly. I don't much care for winter if it is 40/20 every day in a nuclear holocaust setting -

I just said I didn't look lol Edit just looked quick below normal in the long range congrats

As I mentioned a while ago..the majority of people here do not really LOVE winter....many people here like snow but not winter....we are in the minority when it comes to loving winter...

No one uses op runs . No one. How many times have we been over this? Nothing but ridging , Bermuda highs etc

Not here. Light rain now lol Edit: radar has a tiny dot right over central Calvert. I am a rain magnet.

That's probably true

Noticed the dryer air last night before bed and this morning. 82/64 here, should be a great evening for softball.

Did you see the 12z GFS and CMC? Haven't checked the GEFS or GEPS though yet..

Wow…the euro and gfs have canceled winter 25/26 already.

Fixed for you..

Couple more, Some qtr size hail too in a couple of these cells.

We escaped yesterday’s severe here, But Gorham/Falmouth area did not.

There’s zero model evidence of that. Like none

Take your meds, man

Same here. Almost feels "crisp" without the mugginess. Enjoy all!

Went to get the mail and lower dp air is definitely filtering in. Has that late August sound/feel to the air out there. Hoping I can open my windows for a few hours tomorrow morning to get some fresh air inside.

Really? By August 1st? Is this your first summer outside of Alaska?

The Euro weeklies and GEFS extended have broken a several week qp agreement toward August as they have consistently agreed on above normal precip for Virginia. The Euro has now shifted toward drier than normal. They both agree on a 500 mb. heat dome centered on Texas, NM and OKL. But, the Euro is east centered compared to 10 days ago. This eliminates any attached troughiness with a dominate NW flow. A dominate NW flow is usually drier than normal, especially for western areas without an attached trough upstream, because it puts us in the rain shadow of the mts. If this upper heights pattern verifies, I would have to lean in the direction of the Euro for the next 30 days. I have received 4.47" during the first 21 days of July compared to a normal 2.94" thru 21 days. 152% of normal. August may flip if the Euro is correct.

the third sentence is heavily influencing the first

Decaying bow echo dropped a nice .40” this morning. Another 48 hour heat wave incoming on its heals.

Was traveling yesterday but I see that there were spotter reports of a funnel in Belchertown yesterday with serious tree damage in mine and Powderbeard's old neighborhoods on Turkey Hill.

Pretty good model agreement that summer comes to an ignominious end in about a week. We break the backbone! Jeez I hate summer.

My neighbor works at a local Home Depot. He told me this weekend that the Halloween supplies and kits have arrived and they plan to set up displays soon.

Cool and wet. The month had measurable rain on 23 days and the average max was 69.9, our only sub-70 July with only 2021 even close. Thru the 16th, maxima were running -8.4, and for the month -6.4, both incredible departures for a summer month. That was an awful summer but August was salvageable. True, but it was way too late for my garden.

That was 2008
