NOAA has a Pacific Ocean heat "blob" Blobtracker Web site. It tracks large areas of heat under the ocean's surface. These areas can affect weather "thousands of miles away." Right now, there is a very large blob of heat stretching from Alaska to California. I found the whole thing...fascinating.

Local station, KEEN, reports .34 inches total. I am about 20 miles away, and that seems right for here, too. We were under a giant hole in the precip most of yesterday. I am happy to see the big totals from parts of New England!

Haven't seen this in the forecast in a while. I like it. NWS KEEN station for Brattleboro: Saturday Night A slight chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 44. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Sunday A chance of showers after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 61. East wind 3 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Sunday Night Showers likely, mainly after 2am. Cloudy, with a low around 46. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Low of 23F here (7am), now 25F. Crisp and clear!

Still green here this morning!

Here, 54/23. Couldn't be nicer!

Oh, sounds like a good time to buy you a drink here in Brattleboro!

Oh...hello! NWS marine forecast for just E of Cape Cod: Sunday E wind 14 to 17 kt increasing to 17 to 20 kt in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 29 kt. A chance of showers. Seas 3 ft building to 5 ft. Sunday Night ENE wind 24 to 28 kt, with gusts as high as 36 kt. Showers likely. Seas 8 ft building to 13 ft. Columbus Day ENE wind 28 to 30 kt, with gusts as high as 40 kt. Showers likely. Seas 14 to 15 ft.

Right now, 35F and 32F dewpoint. Nice!

I posted .29 earlier, but that's KEEN, not Brattleboro. I don't have a rain gauge here. Thanks for the local total!

Grand total here: .29 inches. DIT was right, for my area. Heh. Kudos.

Thanks, I am way down South, and humidity is down to 56 percent (KEEN, across the river). Still, air 79F and dewpoint 62F. Overcast, warm and sticky.

This is odd, because relative humidity now here is 79 percent, dewpoint 60. Yes, it is dry, but Special Weather Statements says low humidity exacerbates the problem today. Maybe drying air as it clears up? But, yeah, a half inch of rain will be very beneficial here. Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Albany NY 229 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 VTZ013>015-072100- Bennington-Western Windham-Eastern Windham- 229 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 ...Fire Weather Concerns Exist Across Southern Vermont Today... Fine fuels remain very dry across Vermont today according to the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. Across southern Vermont, relative humidity values will be as low as 50 percent, while south to southwest winds will gust between 20 and 25 mph. If any fires were to start, the weather and fuel conditions could cause fires to quickly spread and become difficult to contain. For more information about the current fire danger rating, any burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit the Vermont forestry or environmental protection website. $$

The night before full Harvest Moon rising over Mount Wantastiquet. This is my Kindle Fire. The camera doesn't handle low light very well, but otherwise it's a pretty spiffy camera.

Yup. These are my three quick go-to spots when rain or snow is coming: NWS KEEN this morning: Tuesday Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 80. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 7 mph in the morning. Tuesday Night Showers, mainly after 11pm. Low around 54. Southwest wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Wednesday Showers, mainly before 8am. High near 66. North wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Discussion: Clouds will gradually increase on Tuesday as a cold front approaches from the west. Moisture will increase ahead of the front as well with precipitable water values increasing to 1.25 to 1.50 inches (+2 to +3 STDEV). An upper level shortwave passing through the southwesterly flow aloft will increase forcing for ascent and allow for periods of rain, beginning Tuesday afternoon for areas north and west of Albany and areawide during Tuesday night. A rumble of thunder could occur with some of these showers for areas north and west of Albany Tuesday afternoon with weak instability present. Overall, most areas should pick up between 0.50 and 1.00 inches of rain but some higher amounts up to 2 inches could occur if any steadier and heavier periods of rain train over an area. Nonetheless, this will be a beneficial rain for the area which has seen another prolonged stretch of dry weather since our last rain event on September 25. Prior to the arrival of rain, temperatures should still rise into the 70s to around 80 on Tuesday, falling back to the 40s and 50s Tuesday night.
