70/60 Perfect. The sound of silence. All the tourists are gone and the roads are empty. No one even at the one traffic signal down in Bristol 6 miles south. Just the cidadas loudy protesting the comings of fall and a couple of deer in the pasture eating apples. Just the way I like it
1.28" soak yesterday.
Still no word from Josh on Great Abaco. Only met him once at the BWI AMWX conference but we frequently message on facebook since we have similar world views. I know he knew what he was doing but this was his most challenging chase with a stalled Cat 5 overhead. Now that Dorian is starting to move I would guess they will start getting helicopters in late today and we will start seeing the total extent of the damage.
58.8" Light rain .74" stratus and .67" VP2. Got to adjust the rain gauge in the VP2 or see if something is blocking the hole.
Seems like a switch was pulled here in NNE and we went from summer to fall.
Josh is on great Abaco. Looks like the eye is going 2 Go right over him this afternoon. Some awesome stadium effect videos incoming I bet. Hope he has lots of food and water he may be on that island for some time to come.
Looks like Dorian may miss Florida. I had not paid any attention to the storm for us New Englanders but just looked at the Euro and it has Dorian as a 950mb cane just barely off Cape Hatteras to SE of the benchmark to about Eastport Maine. Just close enough for James to honk a little. Should be some nice surf on south facing beaches next week
Speaking of tropical systems a real nail biter if the 12Z Euro Dorian solution ever comes to fruition. Takes Dorian due west towards MIA/FLL. Then just as the eye comes ashore it veers north all the way up the Florida coast either just onshore or just offshore. The trend is your friend so perhaps Dorian will round the Bermuda high before landfall. Many days to watch this.
63/62 Heavy rain .37" Pleasantly surprised. Although the Euro was bullish I just had the feeling I would be shafted in between CF and tropical moisture.
The interaction between CF and tropical moisture will really be interesting to see how it works out. New GFS gives me less than .10", maybe nothing. Congrats on all who get a nice soak, Brian and I look to me in the dry slot between systems
Looks like the shear is decreasing over TD6 to some degree. All afternoon the LLC has been getting closer and closer to the deep convection. Almost there now.
Nope, the Ash Borer is not up here yet. We have several beautiful Ash trees on our property. Lots of them around. I know it's coming. The forest will not look the same for a long time. Really sad
