Having fun standing here at the end of my driveway watching the lighting, listening to the booming thunder, and seeing torrential rain falling from this bad boy, literally a couple miles to my west. Everything is forming on an axis just west of here, and moving north, for now. Not optimistic. At least it clouded over for a bit, temporarily blocking the searing sun from further burning my grass.

The CAMs are probably going to generally suck on a day like this in pinpointing where storms fire. In such a weakly forced environment, I would think local boundaries(bay breeze) and terrain effects would be the likely mechanisms for triggering the best convection.
-
Going out 10 days- the end of the month- both the GEFS and EPS project this look at h5. Not terrible for here, Probably typical warmth, with the big +temp anomalies further west/northwest. Have to see where the pattern goes from there.
-
Plenty of craft breweries/brewpubs up that way you could stop off at after a long hike to get refreshed.
-
I was livin right the beginning of the month, but not so much lately. 3.05" for the month, but less than a quarter of an inch the last 10 days.

Enjoyed lots of thunder last evening from the slow moving storm that moved just south of here then died. Not a drop of rain though. Today might be a bit more interesting with slightly higher dews and pwats. Looks again like the mode will be pulsers that don't move much in very weak flow, so places that get under one could see flash flooding, while places close by get nothing. My sprinkler got a workout yesterday so I am prepared for the likelihood of again being betwixt and between.

Well we are probably heading into at least a weak Nina for fall/winter, so it kinda fits. If the CFS actually has a clue(which it doesn't at this point), we would see lots of our favorite- cold and dry!
-
Have one shot as a nightcap. Don't do multiple shots to get drunk. That's the trick.
-
Me neither, but I really like this. I like B&B more, but its on the pricey side by comparison.
-
I have this in my freezer. Much better than the original IMO.
-
Jager or B&B. Both are thick,but pretty damn good tasting digestifs imo. And keeps the buzz going!
-
It's summer though. Even there. Better them than us. Big + h5 height anomalies in mid June FTL (for them).
-
Didn't last long here. Total of 0.15" for the day. Looks like hit and miss, pulse type showers in the afternoon and evening over the next few days until whats left of that low finally moves off to the NE.
-
Yes a moderate shower here now. Sprinkler on stand down.
-
Heavy drizzle! Almost up to a tenth here for the day.
-
^Sprinkler at the ready ...
-
Up to 68 here now. Still just mostly on and off drizzle. Probably wont see any appreciable rain until the warm front moves through and the air mass becomes more unstable.
-
I decided to go with the W00T Stout. Super good with the subtle pecan layer in there. The bourbon barrel aged influence is prominent.
-
Its a big ass imperial stout from Sierra Nevada. A bit over 10%. Very good.
-
Man this is a quality 'build your own' 6 pack. Going to be tough to pick which one of these I wanna dig into. Gonna be a stout I think...
-
Had some wind driven drizzle earlier, and then a legit light shower. .05" in the bucket! Temp is 65. Looks and feels more like England in June.
-
This has been a pretty persistent h5 look so far this Spring/early summer. Keep the mean upper ridge out west and prolonged bouts of extreme heat will be hard to come by here.
-
Weekend doesn't look as hot as it did a few days ago on guidance. Probably low to mid 80s and plenty humid though. I would still think many areas manage low 90s early next week before the next front arrives. The easterly flow will be long gone and being right around the solstice, I will definitely take the over on temps.
-
Drove through some actual drizzle on the way to work. Might be some legit light showers later today and tonight. Looks like the transition from easterly flow to south/southwest flow will get underway tomorrow. Should have at least 4 days of warm/hot and humid before the next cold front drops down next Tuesday or so. Hopefully there will be several chances for showers/t-storms over the next few days with the warmer, more unstable air mass in place as the UL lifts NW and opens up.
