There’s a 10” marker in there

I like the DC bullseye on the NAM 3k

0.03” overnight, which doubles my September total.

It seems like there were a couple of issues with the model forecasts for this one. First, at 5+ days out there was uncertainty about where the "landfall" of the low would be, so some of the runs had us getting significant precipitation that was closely associated with the low. However, when we got closer it became obvious that the low was going to be in NC/SC and we would have to hope for the feeder band (the Euro was particularly in on this scenario). The interesting thing that has happened in the last day or so is that the models have caught on to a second low that pops off the coast. That disrupts the moisture flow and likely keeps the rain closer to the low and the coast.

Go Vikes!

Really dry for many of us. I'm at 1.37" over the last month.

Is it ever going to rain again? Science says yes, but I remain skeptical.

They aren’t going to pass the Twins on a race to the bottom

I had ATL/PIT on my multi-screen view. Good lord, TJ Watt was on another level.

Yeah, I have no idea how good the Vikings are because the Giants look awful.

I have this NVR: https://reolink.com/product/rln8-410/ The cameras are always changing, so I'd just pick the ones you like based on the specs.

I have a roof-mounted camera. There are a couple of decisions points. One is whether a system needs to be completely wireless, or if you have the ability to run power or ethernet to the location. Another is if you want the video stored locally (bigger up-front cost for a video recorder), or if it is cloud-only (usually a monthly cost). My setup is a Reolink NVR system, which runs cameras via Power-over-Ethernet. So, I had to go up into the attic and on the roof to run an ethernet cable, which wasn't overly difficult with my house, but could be sketchy for some situations. I like that it runs continuously, I can access the video from everywhere, and I don't have an ongoing cost for data storage. The downside is that it overwrites about every 7 days (I have an 8-camera system) and if the power goes out, oh well. There are multiple camera options. One additional consideration that I figured out after the fact is that it is good if the camera is protected a bit with an overhang. I ended up using a clear anti-squirrel baffle on a pole!

I read all of the doom and gloom in here, and then I see the standings where the Os are the 1 seed in the AL My Twins are stumbling along, probably to the 5 or 6 seed. Unfortunately, due to injuries they have been starting 3 rookies in the rotation after the all-star break, so that doesn't bode well for the playoffs.

You got more in August than I did the entire summer

Looking forward to the pleasant weather starting on Monday. Good riddance, summer.

Cresting the Blue Ridge now. We’ll see exactly how quickly it falls apart. I’ve got 80/71.

Not hard to see why the HRRR kills off any storms as they cross the Blue Ridge this evening.

1.01”. About half and half convection and stratiform. Per CoCoRahs, the top daily rainfall amount in the US was 6.35” just south of Fredericksburg.

Mesos had it

Just a wild radar today. Love the two areas colliding just south of Manassas.

Home is on the eastern edge. 0.30” so far. Im at the office and I can hear Yoda’s cell, though.

Yes, let’s have these storms just sit on 66 for the next 5 or so hours.

Disgusting out again. The mid 70s dews can go away at any time now.
