CAPE

FFS just replace the whole damn system.. DOX RADAR IS INOPERATIVE. TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. RETURN TO SERVICE IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

0.32" here over the last 12 hours, most of which fell in the initial cell last evening.

Yeah I mentioned it in the other thread. Euro is always on the weenie side with winds, but still. Not a fan, being completely surrounded by large trees.

Perpetual thunder here all night. Lots of low rolling, and also some booming thunder,, but only a few brief heavy downpours.

Well that was quite a deluge. Huge raindrops. Very tropical like. A bit of a preview I suppose. 0.21" in less than 10 mins.

Instant downpour here with this tiny localized cell moving through. Some thunder too.

I think I predicted they would win 5 of their first 20 games, and 14 total.

Your attachments folder is full. Delete stuff.

This is pretty weird..

Your area is due for a jackpot. I am going to play the law of averages. 3"+ for you.

Drinking a Palate Jack from American Solera. One of those "zero IBU" IPAs. Pretty juicy and refreshing, but there is definitely something missing.

The heat and humidity today is because the region is in the warm sector of the low that moved from the OV last night, heading up to S Canada today. There is actually a weak cold front that will move through later today and it should temporarily lower the dew points tonight into early tomorrow, especially for northern and western parts of the area.

The soil on the upper eastern shore is highly variable. Lots of heavy clay in certain areas around here, and it doesn't drain. Not like the red clay over in the Piedmont. Most of my property is sand and silt.

84/78 here. Gross.

Sounds like you need some artificial drainage there. It literally cannot rain enough here in the summer. Soil is super well drained on the "upland" part of my property where the house/lawn is.

Not expecting much of anything over here tonight, unless some of this localized/isolated stuff passes over.. The main show with the OV energy should pass well to the NW.

Pretty nice evening. 81 and quite comfortable. View of a thin line of northward moving convection to the ESE along the MD/DE border.

It appears DOX has replaced the hard drive and executed a successful reboot. Radar back online!

It's early, and the thread is really just casual tracking/discussion of some of the indices that tend to influence the character of winter, along with some general speculation at this point. If the 'chat' makes you laugh, you may need to 'filter' a bit.

Dude. Read for context. The NBA assessed their situation, made significant adjustments, thought outside the box, and "figured out" a process that gives them a reasonable chance to complete their season. These sports leagues literally have any and all resources available to them, especially the NFL. We will see how it works out.

Seasonable would be tolerable, and the best we could hope for. Long range means suggest that is possible. But yeah hopefully it doesn't go dry. Doesn't look like that will be a problem for the next week or so anyway.

Yeah he really is, but I thought it may have been a tad harsh to start off a fresh banter thread.

I didn't think this would go well. Sources: MLB commissioner warns of shutdown if coronavirus isn't better managed https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29572885/sources-mlb-commissioner-warns-shutdown-players-do-better-job-managing-coronavirus I still don't think the NFL has a clue what they are doing, and imo there is zero chance the season is completed- if it even gets started. There is a reason players are opting out. The NFL "plan" is destined to fail. It was always going to be difficult to pull off given the large rosters and nature of the sport, but they had plenty of time to figure this out, unlimited funds to really get creative, and it appears they have done the minimum. Hope I am wrong. Only sport I enjoy watching.

We defo need to increase the beer talk in here.

One more month of Summer. I am ready for Fall. Ofc it never actually feels like Fall around here until early October- sometimes. Finished July with 6.30" of rain.
