71/45 under blue skies with tufts of wispy cirrus. A breeze keeps the sun from getting too warm on the face, and carries a smattering of red leaves to the ground with every gust. Songs will be sung of this day.
The woods around North-South Lake are pretty close to peak today. KHP and Hunter have that slightly-past-peak, monotone orange cast, but beautiful all the same.
This has really become evident in my hood over the last 24 hours. Some spots look the nicest in quite a while.
Foliage will do whatever it wants, apparently.
From all the pictures I've seen, it looks like a great year for foliage in upstate NY and NNE. Their comparatively wetter summer really helped things along.
A good start, but still lots of work to be done. It's worth noting that the drought monitor is valid as of 12z on the 6th, so most of Tuesday's rain (and beyond) wasn't factored-in.
Thirded. Heaviest showers of the daylight hours. That circulation south of BGM is really helping to wring out the remaining low-level moisture in the HV.
Currently sitting at around 4.70"... wonder if I can touch 5".
Nifty little mesolow taking shape over me but the heavier echoes are pulling away now. Can also see radar rapidly filling in across PA as the second wave enters the lifting regime. It's a fun night of radar watching for the first time in a while.
