    The NHC also isn’t biting on the quick escape east track for Melissa. Right now, if Melissa misses it appears consensus is because of a poor phasing; and not the GFS scenario.

    The 6z GEFS was a pretty sizable shift towards the EPS with higher mid level heights over the western Atlantic .

    Great drink here today. 1” in view…

    Lawns and shrubs looking best they have all year. Another recurring theme…will see this through thanksgiving.

    Warm/wet cool/dry Familiar….

    On the cross sound ferry into New London. Don’t even need a sweatshirt on the top deck. Awesome out.

    Something else that’s often lost on these hybrids is that the magnitude of impacts are often dictated by the strength of the surface high; not the min SLP. The surface high has been very gradually strengthening with time on guidance.

    The current display off the coast of Florida is impressive. Really wouldn’t think this amounts to a 1000mb low over OBX. I think it doesn’t fit the calendar wrt hurricane season. It’s not the bet to make—that this ends up much stronger than guidance consensus—but it’s something to watch closely.

    Like clockwork our early fall frost in line with climo only to see the +20 anoms return in second half of fall.

    I’m also at a local max elevation in the downtown area so that may be playing an important role as well. Top of a “hill” as subtle as it may be. Important on mornings like this…

    This is a really fake cold. I’m not seeing much at all evidence of frost but on the cars. The air feels frost worthy however. It’s almost as though it only registered freezing because of a complete stillness of the air. Even slightest mixing, and we would be well above. The immediate ground surfaces and shrubs appear to have too much residual heat from the recent rain and 80 degree temps to affect.

    There is also an interaction with TC Jerry to watch. Very dynamic setup overall. Nice break from the boredom.

    GFS is warm core. With origins in northern Bahamas in the 7th inning of hurricane season—not a surprise. Baseline expectation should be sub tropical type system forming.

    70/60 Just walked the dog with t-shirt shorts and sandals.

    This is an overall odd distribution on a line CON on north. No clouds anywhere in the region. I mean, not only are the + anomalies the greatest but the temps are also warmest… Makes me think that leaf drop and/or completely dead leaves still on the trees on points north vs points south maximized the atmospheric potential by getting the most out of ISR through both less shade and evapotranspiration affects.

    My climo average temps are off by about -5. I know that whimsical “assumption” gonna take a bunch of scrutiny but it’s a simple enough exercise to work through… If I made that change for the year, the distribution of normal, AN, and BN days and the magnitude of the anomalies I believe would better fit today’s climo.

    Coastal storm showing up across guidance next weekend.

    Turns out that I don’t think chipmunks/raccoons are the problem I thought they were. They were actually helping my new grass. They were digging small holes in my lawn, yes, but to go after a more serious new-lawn pest: slugs. Didn’t make this connection until yesterday when I noticed a few slugs in my grass….

    Hit 84 today. +19 No problem.

    Same. My min is 37. The lawn and flowers looks great despite the drought
  21. jbenedet
    If it wasn’t obvious yet, those early hard frosts suck when we rebound to weekends like this for another 6 weeks.
  22. jbenedet
    Any effective recommendations for a repeat chipmunk digging holes in my front lawn other than my 22 magnum? After this third offense, beginning to feel like maniscalco’s father.

    I’m seeing a bunch outside. Found a large one hanging out in the wheel well of my car in the driveway. I moved him to a place in the garden. I love spiders as long as they’re outside. They keep all the flying pest populations in check. To me, the signs outside are that our ++AN temp fall persistence is just now kicking off.

    Anything that didn’t get shocked from the drought is a rich green or flowering.

    About 1.5” here.
