Despite nearly a week of clouds, no moisture fell from the sky. I ran the sprinkler this morning hoping to keep the new grass blades from browning up. Maybe some rain with the weekend front??
71F/DP 65F
As Kamu noted, looking at yesterday's NAM and HRRR, it didn't look like anything more than a quick overnight shot of rain. I never bothered to look at the qpf forecast. Live & learn!
Sorry to hear about your seed. I thought they came out too early to aerate and seed my yard, but in hindsight it worked out. Sprouts started popping up before the rains returned. Hopefully you can take advantage of the warm Oct and get more seed down.
The bulk of last night's storms missed me. Some thunder & lightning, but just .10" in the bucket. Surprised at some of the rain totals around the region, were we expecting that??
60F/DP60F
Thanks for remembering this. I used to read JB back in the days he was still with AccuWx. His thoughts at the time were that the warming would reverse in the twenty teens (after all, it was nothing more than natural, decadal oscillations that cause warming).
I haven’t read JB in years. I imagine his predicted cooling era is simply a case of delayed but not denied.
Actually, it's not all doom and gloom for us. After a torchy December, he has an overall average winter for us -- average temps, precip, snow. But who really knows anymore??
52F/ DP 50!!
Looks like just over 2" here.
While y'all were enjoying today's storm, Paul Pastelok at Accuwx released his preliminary winter outlook. Hint: MJO loving those 5, 6, 7 phases again this winter
Can we get a rain event around here anymore that DOESN'T trigger flood watches/warnings/advisories??? lol!!
Yes, I was walking around my yard yesterday and parts that I haven't watered were rock solid. Other than 9.5" on 9/1, not much rain here of late.
