I'll trade you 2" of rain for a low dew point. I've got extra. I just want a dew point of like 30 or something, really.

The NAM was not that accurate with a lot of precipitation for a long time. But you gotta love the severe weather soundings when it said 3000 J/kg when the GFS said 1500 J/kg.

On October 6, say goodbye to the NAM, HREF, and SREF, and say hello (?) to some or all of these things replaced with RRFS/ensemble RRFS. I don't know what that's going to look like and I don't know how various web sites will deal the new data feed. I would imagine that the SREF was not really preferred for various reasons. However, it is definitely going to feel strange going to the Pivotalweather or College of Dupage web sites, and not see the NAM, at all, ever.

a tornado went over a mountaintop at Kaysville, Utah today

Fort Collins has had 2.78" (roughly 2.50" on CoCoRAHS) vs an average of 3.05" in 60 days

Today seems to be one of the bigger monsoon (southwesterly) rainstorms for Arizona, associated with the trough on the West Coast.

things are so hot in the central USA that it's never cool. My place keeps getting 70 dew points. Go away. We want weather that's cooler. Less sweaty. The +6 degrees F in Amarillo Texas might be like the warmest 90 days ever.

The dew points are now 70 at Toledo, but recently as low as 51 degrees. The 50's dew points are average for this time of year.

a little cloud iridescence or sun dog

Did it feel more humid than normal? It was. The precipitable water was above normal for the last month. On the boundary of the more humid and hotter air, there was plenty of rain

One time I went with a group to do Democrat-Cameron-Lincoln-Bross. It's pretty unique in the sense that you can hit 4 (or 3) 14ers in a pretty class-1 hike that's not insanely long. The only question: Is Mt. Cameron its own peak?

I wonder if that Amazon Prime jet was able to be unloaded and have the packages get to their destinations, eventually. (maybe they're still unloading and dealing with the cargo.)
