There must be some impressive totals under that cell north of Ramsey.

The NAM follows suit with hardly a drop to be found up the HV. Next.

The HRRR has been trending later with precip onset - from early morning to noon or later - and drier, on account of the weaker WAA. 00z is little more than spotty showers through Tuesday. On the upside, it also warms the area to the low 80s, and you guys know I take the streak very seriously

A rare W

Sun is coming out here - there's a shot at keeping the 80+ streak alive (yesterday was a record 49 days at POU). Currently 77 at home.

There will be some spotty convective showers backing in from the north toward the end of the day. Maybe something will actually reach the ground.

The usual caveats about phase diagrams, but I'm pretty sure half of the cold season nor'easters have deeper warm cores than this

The water wars have already started. https://www.reddit.com/r/hudsonvalley/comments/wp347h/if_nyc_people_conserve_water_will_that_help_our/

You guys never appreciate what you have

I'd been hoping to plant a few new spruces this fall to replace my dead ash trees. Maybe that's best put off until spring...

The deer will pay for the wall, not to worry.

The animals are getting desperate for food. This week a deer jumped a 7' fence to eat my sweet corn, and a groundhog chewed through chicken wire to get to my tomatoes. Neither garden has ever been breached before.

Despite the cooler air mass, the 80F+ streak lives on at POU and it's easy to see that we're in the upper echelon of such streaks. Not updated for today, so it's at 46 days now.

48 here. It does the psyche good.

I think the significant synoptic rains next week are real. Jack zone TBD, but that's some impressive blocking for this time of year. I have to mow today for the first time in well over a month. The grass isn't growing, but the ribwort and broadleaf plantains sure are. It's amazing how resilient and adept many naturalized weeds are.

Mornin' Agreed. Some of us are very dedicated to our gardens, but like you say, at the first sign of crop failure, we can run to the store and stock up. The happenings of 2020 made me feel pretty good about the stability of our food supply chain. While avocados or my favorite brand of chicken may have been hard to find at times, there was never any heightened threat of going hungry as far as I'm aware. It was reassuring. We owe a great debt to farmers who live with the risk of disappointing days in the garden becoming existential threats.

Sorry to hear that. Such a bummer, especially after all the hard work earlier in the season. It has definitely been a challenge this year and fortunately (or alas, depending on how one views it) I've been in town all summer and haven't had to skip a day of watering. It's sad to see all the endless acres of desiccated, stunted field corn.

Every day I get a few hundredths of an inch of rain, just enough to raise the humidity another notch and make sure my tomato plants keep spreading blight amongst themselves.

The southern end of the Howell Trail up to North Point is a great walk through the clearing from that fire. You can even still see charring on many of the fallen trees.

Made it to 97 for a high today. Now 77.

I apologize for nothing! In my defense, it was really ripping...

Eh, I oversold it - 0.10". Now it's unbelievably humid at 79/77.

Getting a decent thundershower here.

No rain and a high of 99. Worthless. Bring out the pumpkin spice.
