I woke up around 3:00 to thunder and was psyched. Looked at radar and went back to bed. Thank you Mr. Steiner. When you hit, you hit hard

Max here yesterday was 90.1 at 1:09 pm. 68⁰ now with a noisy thunderstorm in progress. 0.40" in the guage so far. Nice!

Quick heavy burst-hoping we get more Lots of lightning to north

My June total rain fall was 2.95 Eric Finkenbinder Ssodtpeorn9201th15agtm456l1iu194u6u50tfu73811fi9m3th867i28t9 · While extreme heat takes headlines this week, I'm increasingly concerned about our growing rain deficit. Storm chances return this weekend, but storm coverage appears limited.

Solid storm out here

WxWiz AM PT?

Western conn is just getting hammered right now from that complex heading south. Why do they keep stealing all of the fun out towards the western frontier? It’s not fair, damnit!

Ten Hottest Days in Washington, D.C. History https://knoji.com/article/10-hottest-days-in-washington-dc-history/

It be thundering, yo...

Clouds a sig problem today w/ AM convection and dirty ridge clouds, so temps held back despite 1000-500 thk getting to 580 by 00z. GFS has 98-102 across SNE Thu-Fri. That appears reasonable. The MCS is of concern. CAPE up to 4600 in VT late in the day, and still near 3000 in SNE 2-3am Thu just ahead of it, which is outstanding for this area at this time of day (WxWiz EML!). HRRR shows the MCS quite strong. RRFS/NAM/ECMWF oddly do not have it, but the GFS does.

Best light show in years and I had to go to Saranac Lake for it.

Great production. It took me like 28 days of bluebird August 2025 to hit 2MWh in a month. How much does the pool filter add to your consumption?

You have to wonder if something is keeping the arctic artificially cool in the Summer since record low levels in 2012. It makes sense - it will take 1 million years to create 1 million year old ice again. Probably not at least directly, but it is a thought that crossed my mind fwiw.

My total rainfall in June was ~5.35”.

I am not a blind defender, man. In another social media outlet, people got on me for being too negative when I said the season was likely over after the Blue Jays series last month and them losing 4 in row after appearing to gain momentum. I think some mistook my vigorous back-and-forth with @Chris78 a couple years ago as me being a kool-aide drinker...whereas that debate was over the culpability of ownership that was just getting settled in. And for the record now this IS their responsibility...they may have made a mistake not firing Elias & Sig and starting completely fresh in the FO. But DEFINITELY this year...they HAVE to fire him, or else they would be choosing even more mediocrity. On Albernaz: I think we should reserve judgement for now. The problems we see were here before he got here...and I'm starting to wonder even if a Bocci-type grizzled veteran would've been able to fix the issues in a year. And again, with the Elias problem...even less so. So I'm not sure about Alby yet, tbh On selling: Other than Ward, Rogers, maybe Cowser, Kittridge...I don't think selling is the answer. The core we have I am almost certain will play well elsewhere--especially Gunnar. It's something deeper going on in the org that is messing them up right now. If they show Elias the door, the more system-wide problems could improve, and this same group finally plays to their potential. And besides...they know fans do NOT want to see another full-scale rebuild with more 100-loss seasons to come. Sell the young core and that's almost a guarantee. And from a talent standpoint--that drastic of a step is may not be necessary right now. And besides...we literally had a firesale last year. In summary: I'd much rather they clean out the front office first and keep the young core intact...that would address the issues that got us here better.

We’re weenies-extremes are where it’s at-bring it!

I've wanted to use torrid, but it implies dry or parched, so that matches desert-type heat better.

Idiot AI. 1.3 mi from the summit as if that is a fair comparison when dealing w/ sharp elevation. I've played w/ AI query for historical wx, and it messes up a lot. Conflates events and overlooks obvious details that make all the difference.

June finished at 71.4 here. Last June was 71.1. Pretty close

It’s official. The DMI daily mean Arctic temp N of 80N, with the help of a +AO, never made it up to freezing in June! The previous latest to first get to freezing was June 20th, set in 2013. The June 30th # was -0.25C. Let’s see whether it gets above 0C on July 1st: @Stormchaserchuck1
