I thought Gloria was good relatively speaking. Better than Bob. No power for like 5 days or so. 

Lots of tree damage where I was living (Foxboro) for Gloria.  The smell of broken pines and the constant yellow jackets stands out in my memory.

OT... trying to do a password reset due to loss of data on my phone...  It's asking for my old password, which was lost when data became corrupted... Thoughts?

Can you sign out, and if you sign back in....is there a "forgot password" option?

Do you have a password manager that you can access outside of the phone?  If not, you could probably google the phone type with the question and get pointed in the right direction.

Which phone? I just went thru this with an Apple Iphone and changed my password.

Its a pixel 6... I'm going to try the sign-out deal... should have thought about that first...

Ha that doesn’t even make sense conceptually… what an interesting cat.  Usually if the core of warmth goes over the top to the north… the region under it is an absolute dew bath.  I’m not sure I can remember the humidity/dews going over the top with the heat unless it’s onshore flow… which this time of year will be dewy.

Yup was living in North Attleboro then, only 7 turning 8 but remember vividly. High pine trees were snapping. One huge one went through my neighbors house when they were vacationing in Florida.  The smell was wild.

details TBD but looks like a prolonged above average dewy stretch 

summer as it should be

[Typhoon Tip]

hmm   every 2 days the GFS has an over top +PP doing the Ontario-Quebec transit though.    Those are all BD cautions with that model.  Euro not so much.   So yeah, it's otherwise dog-days of summer tendency in the model runs lately, sure.

There's also a tropical signal based on climatology with pattern analog stuff.  The models don't key in on climate, more so their physical detection is describing how/why the climate analog stuff evolved the way it had.   Either means of prognostic suggest something coming along ...

But Scott's right about the EPS and frankly I'm not seeing very climo friendly look overall for any such system to be an issue here.  You want a  -D(nao) on the western limb, with some sort of establishing S/N steering all the way up.

Just like last Augdewst. It stopped raining and Stein rolled on and then we started burning and creating our own smoke with local fires. No rain in sight thru day 10

Depends on location, of course.  Gloria did a lot of damage between AUG and the midcoast.  At that time, I was commuting weekly from Fort Kent, having just begun my forester position for the state.  I'd drive south Sunday evening and home Friday evening, but Gov. Brennan sent the state workers home at noon before Gloria hit so I got to drive home in daylight.  Up north it was like a garden variety fall storm.

We lived in Gardiner for Bob, and i dropped 6.41", the biggest calendar precip I've recorded.  It brought 60+ gusts and is the only TC I've experienced that had backside wind as strong as front side, though 95% of the RA came before the switch.  It's in a near tie for 4th strongest I've seen, with Doria (Aug. 71) and the 1982 April damage.

In terms of tree damage from wind, Dec 18, 2023 was probably worse than Bob, even with wind ~10 mph less.  Bob's peak wind lasted less than an hour while 12/23 kept roaring for 4.  (Trivia note:  Last night's episode of Maine Cabin Masters was at Cobbossee Lake, a from-scratch build after pines obliterated the original cabin in that storm.)

Dew sitting at 70. Feels awesome
