Around 0.1” out here. Puddles are exciting

Some light rain here in N ORH county

Hoping for some rains just to knock some of this moisture out of the air. No wind and manky out

The plovers are getting pummeled in Deluxbury

As Tip (and Scott) alluded to, the areas getting Steined today might do better tomorrow Maybe some convection helps out?

This is one way to end the drought:

I found this: Shortly after 4pm today Car 2, Truck 4, Engine 1 and Engine 3 responded to a residence on Adams Road for a reported brush fire. On arrival, firefighters found approximately an acre and a half burning with the fire burning up to 6 inches deep into the ground in some spots. A mutual aid tanker from Westminster, MA Fire Department assisted on scene. Firefighters worked for 4 hours in the 90 degree heat to extinguish the fire. The cause was found to be an illegal unattended outside fire. We urge everyone to use extreme caution with any open flame during this ongoing drought as fires can spread extremely quickly and take long periods of time to extinguish.

Scooter knows ?

Maybe DIT is setting brush fires in the area

If that was this morning there was a structure fire near Wymans Pond in Westminster

Good pool day setting up although our temp has dropped quite a bit. 75F now in the pool

Yeah. The first half of summer featured a lot of comfortable dew days. There were some really gross ones in late July and early Aug but overall I’m guessing near normal?

Although the chart I posted is really apples to oranges

I would think so… I know they just wrapped up their warmest 30 day stretch since records started in 1872

Decent fog earlier this morning but it has already burned off. That term always bugs me but I don’t have a better replacement Could get a half inch of needed rain Monday

Was out of town down in RI for most of the day. From ORH until we got close to the beach car thermo was over 90. The area around Auburn and ORH got a decent storm so that cooled them off a bit in the evening. No such luck here. continues

Wow. Even a MPM approved 90F here (89.9). I knew it would be warm but didn’t expect that Beach was great. If you ever happen to be in Wickford RI, try out Gardner’s Seafood. Fresh off the dock into my belly

From yesterday’s Boston Glob The US Department of Energy on Thursday night sent letters to each of the six New England governors urging them to begin shoring up their oil supplies in advance of the coming winter and the peak of hurricane season. As it stands, the region’s oil stockpile is low — not low enough to prompt emergency action — but at a level the US governmentbelieves could lead to disruptions during a New England winter storm or extreme weather in the Gulf of Mexico, where the region imports much of its oil and fuel from. Stockpiling now, the Energy Departmentsays, will prevent strain on the system during extreme weather.

It might drop a little but like Ginx said lots of signs of things going up for fuels in New England. Maybe not gasoline but heating oil and nat gas. I would think similar for propane

Nasty cell in N RI right now

Yup. It kinda blows. We will get some dinner in Wickford or someplace on the ride back.

Yeah. I don’t go to the NE Mass and SNH beaches very often due to that.

I do hate the 2 hour drive to the beach. And the drive home

SRI beaches for me today Lots of seaweed though.

Not sure if one can truly prepare for a Cat 3 in SNE. You can get a generator and some canned food. Unless you want to go totally doomsday. It would suck for weeks or longer if a ‘38 Redux hit
