A surprisingly warm 77 here. Almost made 80 today. Looks like CXY actually did make 79 or 80.

Each place has its rights to do what it wants. This was a local museum.

I personally like it down there compared to the NJ beaches. Lewes, Rehoboth, Dewey, all pretty neat places. The OC Boardwalk is of course a tourist attraction but outside Florida beaches, OC MD is my favorite Northern beach. But understand your side in not rushing out to get there.

It was mom and pop places. Lots of older employees and volunteers...but caught us by surprise as we had no masks with us.

Surprisingly one place in OC MD (last weekend) was requiring all people to wear masks....I told them my mask was in PA and they gave me a blue one. Ha.

Shutdown seems a given now.

Sorry to hear that. I think you can probably get one at CVS (scheduled).

Uh oh

The high records at MDT for next week are all above the global forecasts....93 for Mon and Fri, 97 for Thur and 88 for Tue and Wed.

Well before the Government shutdowns and turns the lights off on the GFS I thought it was worth a check.... it has still pulled back on its early predict of near 90 next week to now show low to MAYBE mid 80's Mon-Thur of next week for the LSV. CMC is similar though maybe not Monday but extends it through next weekend. This is extrapolated from the 2PM temps shown in the 78-81 area and adding 1-3 degrees on for 2-5PM changes.

Apparently so... Ahmet will be followed by low pressure systems with Arabic, Kurdish and Greek names such as Cemal, Goran, Hakim and Dimitrios. The high pressure systems reaching Germany early this year will be called Bozena, Chana or Dragica, names with Polish, Hebrew and South Slavic roots. In the past, cloudy low systems always had traditionally female names and upbeat highs had male name. The practice changed in 1998. Since then, male and female names switch places each year in the high and low categories. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/siegfried-meet-ahmet-german-weather-systems-get-makeover-german-journalists-name-berlin-ap-b1782586.html

Interesting that it went on to affect Europe for 11 days.

The SLP bashing SNE right now is still sitting off the MA coast on Tue per most models. Not much movement to the pattern. Progs show rain is offshore at the point but quite the slog in moving stuff through. A large part in why it will be dry here...nothing moving.

It is our rain allotment for the next week.

Good way to end the post catchup reading that I missed from overnight...a non-combative post.

My personal opinion, which is worth how much I charge for it, is that places near water are where the focus should (and often is) be set as to possible climate changing events. Many of us may be too old to see it but unless the current/constant water level rises start to subside, I think many of the areas we currently visit for recreation will be ruined in the not-too-distant future. Are there other large-scale catastrophes right around the corner? Maybe...maybe not. But I think we have enough scientific evidence right now to discern that many areas of the coast that have built up (hello Miami) are at risk in the near to mid future.

It is the first step in the progression....showing up on the 10+ days means it is coming some time. That is still first half of October so would not be too shabby,

How about this?

Your keen eye to posts updating is admirable.

Yea, good point on the fronts. I am more in the game now....fronts are more to my liking here. GFS and Euro have a nice front next weekend (would ruin late Fri/early Saturday though.)

My guess is that the grass does not show the strain as quickly this time with less sun/shorter days but if it does not rain tomorrow, by mid-week I expect browning. These big 2" rains and then nothing for 10 days does not work for the grass unfortunately.

Get out the hose again. Veggies needed watered this AM. My grass has grown some so mow #14 is definitely on the docket maybe next week.

Models have really backed down on rain totals. Could be a dry 7-10 days ahead after anything we get tomorrow.

They both backed down a bit to show low to mid 80's next week vs. approaching 90. Euro concurs though the details are a bit different. GFS and Euro head us into a nice fall period after this heat as a trough digs in from the NW. CMC not so much as the ridge hold on well into next weekend.

Totally agree and I have seen all 3 (CMC, EURO and GFS) show greatly anomalous temps that often fail to produce both in cold and warm seasons, but at this stage/based on current data, some 80's do seem likely next week so was surprised our group warminista's had not pointed the higher possibilities out.
