Yeah I need that 9pm light to still be outside in summer. Coming down from a hike in ambient light at 9-9:30pm is always fun. The extra time outside after work day is key to me.

29.99" here during that time frame... September has been dry up in NW NE, only 2" so far. A meh 4"/month rate after the last 3 months . September rain swath to the S/E of here.

Miss the hurricane now. We didn’t have the reverse, reverse psychs and congrats others, congrats me, I’ll root for you but hope it’s me, etc for rainfall discussions for the past week.

@MaineJayhawk had an incredible photo of a wave exploding up a cliff in Acadia. Sorry if I’m blowing up your spot, but the power of nature is awesome.

Today was definitely a breeze day than normal. Gusts to 40mph at the bottom of Mansfield at work, on the leeward side with ample mixing. I wasn’t expecting it to be breezy this far west. The PWS showed max sustained at 33mph and gust to 44mph.

Sunset was awesome as people have said. Up here in NW NE...

RIP to Litchfield Libations, he was a core contributor for a good stretch of time.

Love how it all goes down in one direction, then flips around and goes the other way. That’s no straightline wind.

12:10pm and 64/48 at MVL. It feels like it should this time of the year all of the sudden.

If only we lived at H85.

Dews this morning dropped into upper 40s at sunrise… now as the dew evaporates it’s back up to 54F. But that was a long stretch of 60+ dews to start September. Air is clear again finally.

It’s displacing a lot of water before it weakens while on approach. The ocean will be responding, even away from the storm.

Yeah I feel like one of the days was ok, you’re right Saturday had some blue sky.

I feel like I’ve seen the sun once in the last week.

Haha, as long as it’s on the ground when it ends, does it really matter how it got there? Get some 10-15mph breezes and pay Ken to drop trees in the backyard for ambiance.

Probably will have a decent gradient in ENE... more stable air as you move inland? Also SNE and up the Maine coastal plain are generally SE of of higher terrain... so the NE to NW wind flow can go from a bit inverted, to full on mixing as soon as that flow downslopes.

Today’s 79/64 afternoon air felt plenty hot in the sun. A lot of gloomy days with summits in clouds lately though.

Weren’t there some October ones around that time? Like 2004 or 2005? Wilma or some hybrid storm?

What tropical event hit SNE with 55-65mph wind in the early 2000s?

It’s been incredible. I think it was some place in the mountains of Maine (not far from Tamarack) that months ago had localized 5-7” rains that washed out everything. I remember thinking that’s wild, don’t see that very often. Then for the next 2-3 months we saw slow moving clusters/convection drop localized 100-200 year rainfall totals. All over New England. Every state, every zone, has experienced high excessive rainfall. You wonder if this has been the most impactful warm season in terms of water damage from flash flooding around New England?

Could be worse, ha.

Can’t spell danger without anger.

Morality Po Po… been doing it on the forum since WWBB, haha.

The worst part is folks post about it like what someone desires has ANY outcome on the final result. Its like nails on a chalkboard. WGAF if you root for it or not… no one is changing the outcome either way.

Good to see you back and bringing the classic hits with you . As long as we get one model a day to keep folks invested, this forum will be entertaining.
