As for SA, they are young and talented, and will probably win a few championships. Wemby is very good, but needs to bulk up a bit, and MUST develop a game in the low post with his size. Hate seeing him shooting threes all the time.

He doesnt look like the quintessential NBA superstar- not flashy, but the dude just gets it done. Humble and a class act too. I hate seeing any NY team win, but just can't root against that guy.

So drought is ok because you loathe mowing, but you miss the rain because the grass is brown. I think this is a 'you cant have it both ways' deal.

High of 95 here. Currently 92.

The broken line died just to the west of me, but had a nice outflow with some wind to dry things up a bit more.

Yep.

Yet south of there- eastern MD and DE- have done very well with snowfall wrt to avg since 2017. Rehoboth has had 3 or 4 blizzards between 2017 and last year. Pretty anomalous.

The PDO has been negative for years and we have still managed to snow. Most of those years have been Ninas(correlates to -PDO) so we shall see how it goes with a strong Nino. I would expect it to trend positive as we head into Fall.

SA is very talented, but young. They aren't going anywhere. If the Knicks blow this their window to win a championship is probably closed. Now or never.

lol Knicks

0.43" Not bad. Need a lot more.

49 this morning

Microclimates due to terrain effects, mostly in the western areas(orographic lift/rain shadow) largely determine winners and losers. In areas at lower elevations it is random in a lot of cases, but there are localized boundaries that can help trigger storms due to bay/sea breezes enhancing lift in some cases. When a legit cold front runs into a warm, unstable airmass the chances for more widespread coverage of storms is increased, but there will still be locales that maximize more than others. Again over time, that seems to even out. A linear/elongated line of storms(QLCS) probably gives the best chance for all in the affected area to be impacted in a similar way.

Yeah there was another downpour here around midnight. Ended up with 0.15" for the day. Was expecting nothing ofc.
