CAPE

You couldn't pay me enough to be in those crowds, covid or not. The Cure? New Order? I love the Killers and Strokes, who were largely inspired by New Wave/post punk.

Jake Tapper on CNN has scolded them several times today for not distancing. Just did it again in the last 5 minutes. That being said, Biden needs to say something tonight.

Looks like a couple of transient troughs the week of the 16th and maybe the week of the 23rd. We should probably get used to brief cool periods between extended periods of ridging and mild temps.

High of 72 here. 65 currently.

Drinking an Imperial Cannoli Pastry Stout from 1623 Brewing. Good stuff.

Speaking of beer, is it too early? I mean, Founders calls it an All Day IPA for a reason.

Yeah not many opportunities lately. It's almost like I have moved my house to SC or something lol.

There are sources for objective, basic news, without leanings or sensationalism. Most people seem to crave integrated opinion and commentary components that support a particular narrative though.

lol I have an extension ladder. That step ladder has been leaning against that tree for a month. Might put it away today.

Yeah that's my reference for the weather station lol. It needs a good cleaning too. Algae and other green junk been having a good time here lately. No rush to get everything done, since we are in for an extended period of Sept-Oct weather. Eventually we may even see some November weather.

Been out removing leaves. Still very foggy. I revealed the grass under all the leaves, and its nice and green. So is much of my deck lol, after months of above normal rain.

More like stagnant, under a massive upper ridge lol. Not dry here, even though it hasn't rained for a week. Long nights, low sun.

Mid 70s is kinda gross for this time of year. I will probably sweat and get bit by a random mosquito while blowing/mulching leaves.

How's the FD The Fear clone coming along?

Had a glass of wine with dinner and an All Day IPA. Light night for me lol.

True. But banter can be non weather discussion. Beer and stuff.

So quiet in here lately.

Not a fan at all but I wish him the best.

From Mount Holly on the potential for next week- A deep upper trough in place across the southwestern CONUS is forecast to eject northeastward late Monday into Tuesday while TC Eta churns across south Florida or the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The ejecting trough will send a surge of deep tropical moisture associated with Eta poleward by the middle of the week. Eta itself is forecast to remain over the Gulf of Mexico and will presumably dissipate there via strong wind shear by the middle to end of the week. The dynamics and forcing from the trough will arrive across our area into Wednesday as the tropical moisture arrives and, long story short, it looks quite wet. Precipitable water values could surge well above 2", which would shatter November records at IAD and OKX. A first guess at rainfall amounts would be widespread values in the 1-2" range during the Wednesday time frame, however a lot can and will change with regard to the timing and placement of heaviest rain over the coming days.

Mid and late next week still looks potentially active/juicy.

Looking beyond our mild/warm and boring stretch of weather, mid next week looks to become active with possible tropical connection.

36 here this morning with some scattered frost.

It is a well known predictor of HL blocking.

I am late too. Didn't get home until 4. I just know that today the HH rules were changed to "whenever you want". Surely someone here must be 3 sheets to the wind by now.

Drinking the last of the KBS Expresso Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Coffee stouts. Woo, what a mouth full. It is a legit HG beast too at 12%. Need to get more of this one.
