Got a decent dose of rain while attending the fair today.

I was just downtown and the water level seemed so low compared to normal. I saw rocks uncovered along the beach there that I've never seen. Thanks for the link, quite surprised at the data.

Walking along the waterfront over the weekend I noticed Lake Erie is running well below normal water level wise. Any good websites to check that data?

We usually start our winter thread in Mid/late November in Upstate. Has to be the latest on the forum.

Looks like central/eastern New York really made out with the rain. Got some rain this morning here but nothing compared to what they got. The eastern seaboard from the Carolinas up north through Maine have had incredible rainfall amounts the last month. 20-30" in some spots.

Should be entering a better pattern for rain in the next 10 days. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/day1-7.shtml

Some nice slow moving pop up storms near you Nash. Any ground reports?

We basically have 3 summer months here, if that. 80+ average highs. I think we have a fairly good blend of seasons. Northern Michigan rarely gets out of the 60s/70s in summer, the same for northern Maine. Those locations also have brutally cold winters with high temps in the teens and average lows below zero. I wouldn't enjoy that.

Have you ever seen a CPC temp forecast that looks like this?

It's been an incredible summer so far. I know it's boring on the weather front but I enjoy my hot/humid summers quite a bit. I have been boating, fishing, swimming, beaching, jet ski, pretty much the entire summer. The best part of summer is humid walks at night under the moon, nothing beats that! Cold summers are the absolute worse. The seasons we experience in Upstate are the best IMO, if only summer would last a little longer it would be the perfect spot to live.

That's awesome we're planning on also doing a few of the shorter hikes as we're bringing the dog with us. It looks like it's going to be quite hot. We are staying at fish creek so there is some nice places to swim there.

Looks wet across Eastern New York. I'll be in Lake Placid, hopefully don't get too much rain need to climb some peaks!

A couple more weeks and the air will be cooler than the water. Hard to believe it's August already tomorrow.
