Chinook

I have never seen this type of real-time analysis map be +1.0 degrees C

I suggest we rename this part of the country, The Mid StormLantic

40 kt gusting to 49 kt at Sabine Pass (buoy system)- on the beach

My friends once told me that the Maroon Bells are crumbly and dangerous.

This is why you hike starting early, particularly with high mountains of 13000-14000, and particularly when you know it's not going to be perfectly sunny. You try to get off the peak before lightning, which might even start going at 12:00-1:00. The earliest storms happen with the mid-day radiation. Thankfully I had many sunny days of hiking mountains, as I tried to plan it out that way.

peak 38kt gusts at Port Arthur Texas. Now that could blow my hat off my head.

gusts of 27 kt at Port Arthur, Texas

looks like a hurricane landfall,but measured wind gusts in the 20kt-30kt range makes it... breezy for those areas

The tar spots are just ugly. I feel like a lot of trees last year were not able to be brilliant orange, red, or yellow last fall, because there was so much black coloring on each leaf. I believe the red maple (sugar maple?) small trees in my neighborhood have almost none of this problem.

small feature that looks like an eye, but of course a true eye should come with a hurricane

wind gust up to 39kt near Edouard's east side

Do you guys see a lot of the maple trees with black or brown spots on the leaves? For my area, the last 2-3 years, there have been a lot of the black spots on silver maple and Norway maple leaves towards the end of the year. I think it's mold. I don't know how widespread it is. Some maples are losing leaves now, but, of course, not with color.

what are these wet things coming from the sky?

oops, I missed that somehow!
