Will - Rutgers

Boys.  Tell me.  Let me hear it.  Lay it on.  Don't hold back.  It's coming and you are all so ready.  Who's getting geared?  Who's got their seatbelts on?  Whose parachute is packed?  You know what it is.

• FIREPLACE BURNIN'
• PUMPKIN PICKIN'
• HOT CHOCOLATIN'
• HAND-HOLDIN'

We are talking about MAJOR relationship goals boys.  For the next two months, there will be exactly 0 weather events anyone with a life cares about, while the special someone picks house scents.  You're out measuring 0.14" while she has decided it's autumn spice in the diffuser for the long haul.  You're online debating MJO values and you come back to a lawn full of scarecrows you didn't even know you bought.

But what I want to know is, who here is actually up for it?  Who is ready for fall potpourri?  Who's ready for the bathroom towels to change over?

Cooler air moving in now...checked radar awhile ago...was nothing  nearby to me, was surprised to see it raining now with 0.16" in the bucket.

Same here, no radar returns, raining light-moderate.

Even when you prove by Trump's very own actions and statements how irresponsible and dangerous he is, some people go with this ridiculous "it's just weather" bullshit or any other lame excuse for the hundreds of other examples of inappropriate actions/behavior. Yeah, you can go right the **** off with all of that. I'm done dealing with you. There is no overcoming this lemming mentality and cult insanity anymore with a narcissist megalomaniac. I've thrown in the towel.

 

I pray for the day politics is boring again and matters of public safety are not denigrated into spectacle, misinformation and outright lies. I really am tired of this timeline. Perhaps some day we'll have a government again that isn't undermined all the way to the top with heads of the executive cabinet and congressional branches who actually do their damn jobs. For now it is a three-ring sideshow circus. Actually I shouldn't disrespect circus performers. They actually have value / worth and a place in our society.

Monsieur, before you throw in your napkin, can I not beg you to have one little mint?

If you're not full, don't worry, looks like this is a 30-course meal.  Even after this invalid is rolled into the asylum he'll be exclaiming through drool about how Senator Little Marco Rubio of Alabahama is sad, weak, and failing for letting Daffy Dorian destroy his island.  Some of the words in the tweet will be capitalized, but no one can say for sure which.

This is just very sad to see. Trump seems to be Bahgdad Bob with unlimited power.

At what point do people (who haven't yet done so) have an epiphany that this guy is not well in the head, and that he is a danger as long as he is in power?

He's got NOAA compromising its integrity in service of his unlimited ego and stupidity.  How the f is that acceptable to people?  I cannot grasp that.  And how do you function as a rational, viable person if you are incapable of a "my bad"?

I can't wait to see how long this stupid shit goes on.  Weeks?  How is that possible?

President Shitpost.  This is bonkers.

Imagine  if there was a bulls ass that could talk, and screamed  "Hey everyone look at me" every 2 minutes. You think people would catch on and stop falling for it after 70+ years but apparently sometimes they don't.

that bull's ass tells it like it is

lol

No. Compartmentalizing this stuff is what allows trump to thrive. People who support him should be forced to make ridiculous posts that all of us can read and mock. 

Yeah maybe make less excuses for grown men who say stupid things and attempt to cover themselves with vain, petty theatrics that debase our hobby and its science in the bargain.  Maybe cut that.

Can we cut the politics? There is a forum for that (Political Roundtable)

Nah

Watching Ryan Maue defend this sharpie bullshit is actually more entertaining than the sharpie bullshit itself.  He has a PhD.

Ok, but...

Can someone PLEASE explain this?

It's what happens when you give a child a shitload of money and no discipline, and then he grows up, gets a brain tumor, and becomes president

Whenever I think about global warming and get despondent I am cheered by the fact GOES-16 exists and will be bringing us HD footage of our short and brutal lives over the next couple decades.

Can you see a food riot from space?  Excited to find out.

We do this in the MIDATL... What's everyone drinking/munching on while binge watching TWC and refreshing sat shots?  For me it's Paulaner Oktoberfest and peanut butter filled pretzel bites

cheap wine like paul masson

getting absolutely blasted and i'm still not drunk enough to question the judgment of professional meteorologists re: whether the devastating hurricane is "extraordinarily devastating" or "historically devastating"

MUUUUWAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH the freeeeeeenchhhhhchampagnehasalwaysbeencelevbratedforitsssexcellence

It's more than nice out.  It's niiiiice.  I checked weather.gov and tonight's forecast is "100% chance of feeling like you're out on the deck with a cold adult beverage and the crickets are singing.  Winds light and variable."  This AI stuff is getting scarily human.

Storms popping already and a strong line in New England.

This is the most active summer I can ever remember.  Just relentless.

Question is, with blue skies to the west of the developing line, and plenty of sunshine left in the day, will storms develop on the outflow boundary?

Towers popping all around.

That line looks insane.

days like today make me love climate change

It seems like it won't be long until we're regularly clipping 80 F dews.

That sucks, no way to save it?

It sounds like there's no dam way it can be saved.

Storms firing north and west, nearly stationary cells.  Several SVR in upstate NY and in MA.

Nice distant CTG bolt with this errant storm descending on us.

Don, just wanted to say you are a great and very valuable poster.  Thanks for your thoughts and research as always.

EDIT: But also everything in your post is driving me to drink so if I continue posting please excuse the deteriorating spelling and grammar.

The record European heatwave made it to the edge of the Arctic circle today. 

https://mobile.twitter.com/mikarantane/status/1154824807365664768

Hot in Sweden: 34.8°C (95°F) today in Markusvinsa (66.7°N), just north of the Arctic circle!

 

Hey if anyone would like to give me a reason not to be panicking about the environment, that'd be hugely appreciated, thanks.
