Might have been some breaks in the clouds to the west, but just dark, dreary and damp wall to wall here today.  MaxT was 73° which is the lowest daily maxT since July 7 (max that day was 68°).  I've no problem with a few days with the wx like this, but the mosquitoes are beyond ridiculous this month.  Little buggers are pissing me off.  It's bad when you go backpacking to get away from them.

 

I'm not sure about down on The Island but, there has been a mass die-off of bats in the Hudson Valley, over 95% of one species and I think high 70s for another. Bats eat LOTS of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes seem to love not having those predators in their world  It's called white nose syndrome and it's taking out bats all over Upstate.

Nice little storm just dropped a quick 3/4". 

I have a new spring in my driveway. Over the last year or so some of these crazy heavy rains pushed out a strip of asphalt about 3" deep and the water gushes out during downpours. 

Holy lightning and thunder Batkids! Wow...

Wow the lightning and thunder was intense with the cell that just abused us here. It only dropped .4 but it was all at once. Our dog is traumatized

Good storm. Lotsa boomers, good light show, a quick inch of rain without much wind. The dog shook herself to sleep under the bed

So, pretty much like being out in my garden. It's icky, that's for sure.

3.65

3.5

Up to 3.5 now. 

1.1 in 2 downpours. Some of the heaviest rain so far this year. 

1.1 already this morning.

Wasn’t totally cloudy yesterday or today thankfully. Patches of blue sky both days 

 

how much rain are we expecting? Torn on watering the tomatoes 

I didn't.

I was hoping it was done, but no... It's been a thick, heavy mist for a while now and it looks like another slug of rain incoming. 

Another .2 here. Looks like parts of the Danbury area got thoroughly soaked early this morning with 2+" in about an hour.

^^ Yeah so now it's soaking everything upstream from the Capitol District. 

2.4

2.4-2.8 around my area. Local mesonets are 3.09 just S and 1.75 a few miles N. 

2.1

It was quite a dump of CP air. It feels great but I dunno about autumnal, although if I had a hoodie with me this morning I might have put it on.

I didn't think it rained that hard but I'm at .6 (so far). 

AQI still ~130-160 and the fog is making it more irritating. Yuck

The big question is are those readings in WNY going to make it into the area or no? 

There are 190 -218 readings near me now. 

AQI 104-120 Yuck

AQI in the high 70s to mid 80s, about 15 points higher than yesterday.
