Take it away for working class consumers while they give it to big corporations and big banks instead? Socialism for the rich, individualism for everyone else…

was going to comment on this... yup 

All major ens-derived, sweeping numerical index changes. Well represented in the spatial depictions, too.   A significant overhaul of the hemispheric foot pattern mode.  Not sure if that represents the end of summer but ...considering D10 enters the last week of August... modulate for climatology accordingly.

Some of us knew while a select few prayed it wouldn’t be true.

Looks like it warms uo to the 90s again the weekend after when Erin passes. What a summer.

That’s what a few were discussing. Erin actually pumps the ridge . Tropics bring heat north and ridge pumping

Well not really...it just helps rip a piece of warmth off from the Midwest. Now if Erin went into the Gulf then maybe it would pump up east coast ridging.

2.75" since July 1st. Nothing since 7/31.

Beats my 1.53" for the same period.

Had some sprinkles in Farmington last evening, not enough to wet the ground, but not a drop at home.

There are signs more ridging tries to build in from the south very late in the month. But we will have a couple of cool downs....which is supposed to happen in Summer. I don't see anything brisk or Fall like.

You mean no hoodies and campfires and grabbing extra blankets and uninstalls and men in suits ? We’re surely see the men in their firefighting suits from the smoke

Rode this NNE heat wave out in the Allagash, just returned this evening but was on the river since last Thursday. Holy shit what a bizarre yet amazing trip - this was my tenth and truly one of a kind. Never put a rain fly on the tent and basically lived in the river when not paddling. Truly a unique experience for a northern river trip. Water was scary warm in the main stem but we still managed to find and eat some brookies from the feeder streams. 
 

 

Sounds great.  Sometimes trout will find a hole in the river just downstream from where the cool tributaries enter, also the pool below the falls.  My only trip there (May 1981) began at Henderson Brook Bridge and ended with a night at the falls, as I had a family trip planned and had stashed my vehicle near Michaud Farm.  The rest continued to St. Francis.  Parks had asked Seven Islands to check whether the freaky February (CAR had +15 for the month, which also included their 7 mildest days in Feb) that sent the ice bridge downriver had left aspen logs blocking the critical take-out above the falls.  All was clear.

Don’t worry the trough will be there whenever tropical reaches the SW Atlantic.

Maybe just my own false perception but it seems August has been particularly bad for severe the last several years? Growing up in the 70’s/80’s it didn’t seem like that? I vividly remember some spectacular events in those days

We had a good event two years ago late month. Of course I missed it, but we had wind damage here. Overall though I feel like it's been quiet.

2020 had that supercell that ripped across southwester/southern CT (think august 26th or 27th). Outside of some very localized damage it's been a bore since the 2018 event. Was it two summers ago (maybe three) where we had a decent stretch I think in July with storms...nothing crazy but it was active.

This.  And govt. money (i.e., taxes) is currently flowing 10 times faster to petroleum than it does to renewables.

Look at that ridge pumping on the N/NE flow around Erin…

If anything we need to wait for it to get out of the way to allow the return flow back in.

At least for my part of the state, July seems to be our only Tstorm month going back several years.
