Oh man. There's been a bird singing, almost hysterically, all day long, every day, very close to my house. It's a tiny house so it's inescapable. People hear it on work calls if a window is open lol. I'm not super versed in bird calls but know many common ones and have been having a tough time. Closest thing sometimes is a cardinal. I also thought I had more than one Close Loud Bird. But, as some of you have already guessed...the culprit is....a mockingbird! All day, every day. Going strong right now. This one is a legit opera singer. So many sounds and songs, it is wild. I'm impressed. And I'm slowly going insane.

Definite coffee on porch morning today. Low 54. Soon it will be soup in the morning..

Nice fall day up here, deep overcast

Nice! You've had a string of great sky shots.

Appears to be a little iridescence in some of these high clouds

more on that in the 9:59 a.m. update .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... No major changes to the previous forecast. Have worked with SPC to see if a Slight Risk is warranted for portions of the area east of I-95. Will continue to evaluate the 12Z guidance to collaborate any risk updates with the 1630Z outlook. Previous discussion follows...
