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.

The one and the same though the CMC has it as well just a different day (Fri instead of Wed). The chance of being ~20 AN is the real headline IMO.

Last season, December was the only winter we had.

Time to roll out the "let's get it out of the way now before winter" speech.

Per the latest GFS, the "Heat Wave" next week would feature a day with MDT getting up to near 90 which would be 20 degrees above normal if it reached that figure. Has parts of Wisconsin getting to 95-100.

The atmosphere is the most fun, thanks. Saturday was really the only "bad day". We drove up to Cape Henlopen/Lewes on Saturday and when the rain stopped for a short bit, we ended up on this small beach named "Johnnie Walker Beach" which was when we saw someone with a handheld wind meter and felt sustained over 50 for about 10 min when we had enough and got back in the car. If the sand were dry, it would have been a sand blasting. I did not see any whiskey though. In all seriousness, the beach is named after a Lewes community member that had a restaurant there at one point.)

We are indeed back to drizzly 'Ville. We got one good beach day in on Thur.

MDT below norm 10 of the last 11 days.

The 0Z HRRR says "Hoist the flood watches LSV"

Was at Cape Henlopen today and someone had a handheld wind gauge. Sustained it was reading 52. Not much for gusts....just sustained, pounding wind. This is as much about the interaction with the high to the north vs. being near the center of the storm.

More rain here in OC today that I was expecting based on Meso's. 2-3" now (storm total)
