Pardon my ignorance:
Is the magnitude of an El Nino determined by the absolute extent of warming temp or is it tied to the temp relative to the waters beyond the zone of warmth?
The lawn at Pit2 is a burned out disaster. Except for the patch of crabgrass that took root underneath where my boat was until Memorial Day. That is green and flourishing.
Woke up to 53* here in Mattapoisett.
Progged hights for Pit2 this week:
Today 80
Tues 76
Wed 79 with showers.
Thurs 80
Fri 71
Sat 72
Sun 73
All in all, I'd call that that COC.
Lots of thunder last night though none of it particularly close. Ended up with some solid rains. Looks like a beaut shaping up for today.
Moving into the rapid-shortening of days with sunlight losses hitting 2-minutes plus per day at Pit2 this week.
It appears any lingering questions some may have had of where the the heavy rain would set up has been answered.. Looks like we've got ourselves at CT/RI/coastal SE Mass deluge situation.
I think I was east of most of the storms last night, though had some good flashes and distant thunder while going to bed.
Based on the puddles outside, we managed at least a decent drink.
