Boston has a decent shot of its third below normal August in a row. Now a winter month? augustuary?

Looks like COC is going to win out in the 10 days starting Monday. It does feel like a bit of a seasonal shift with the cP airmasses trying to make more latitudinal gain southward. Days still look warm, but dews will be down again.

 Back has broke

that sucks. the new norm for us

It's as if you never knew what dormant means. Practically every summer we have to explain dormancy.

Same here. That model performs almost dead last with qpf in all seasons 

First Euro is not last, second it performed best with some misses but remember Kevin called for zero rain Monday

Finally a nice, fresh air mass.

Zero smoke.  Deep blues.  Breeze.

Lets do 2 months of this.

So many great photos from yesterday. Most photogenic day of the year? 

 

100%
 

Incredible sunset colors backlighting towering CB with frequent crystal clear lightning, and otherwise clear dark blue sky… amazing I wish I could capture better 

My wife was yelling at me for wasting ice cream as I was frantically taking photos

Another beaut… moonrise at Hampton Beach this weekend:

I didn't realize lawns go dormant in early august

Back isn’t broken. Maybe some spasms. 

[Cyclone-68]

In traction maybe?

Yeah. We’ll be getting warm/AN/hot stretches for a while.   Next week will feel nice but my pool will cool down again. 

[Typhoon Tip]

yeah.. it's interesting following these atmospheric indices as I do.   

Yesterday, an early autumn 'shot across the bow' type pattern was coherent in both the numerical data, but also in the synoptic/spatial layouts, from all three ens sources  GGEM/GEFS/EPS.   I posted about it...  that's normal. If your goal is to not materialize a pattern you want,  all you have to do is mention it.  Boom! wanted pattern summarily breaks heart.  This is why you should never tell a woman how you actually feel... 

No but since then the numerical side of that have pushed a new -PNA/-EPO tandem out there between D10 and 14.   Then, the operational runs overnight sort of half committed; the Euro and GFS proper having some suggestion, which fits that tandem.   We'll see.  

It's harder and harder anyway to determine that particular week any given season, when the season tries to pick up more than it can handle and cracks haha.   Seriously, CC is seriously f*cking that orderly expression ( in time ) from happening as dependably as it did for grand pappy.  We'll get a frost on Sept 10 and then 90 for 3 days on 15th... just sayn'

any concerns with your well?

Not yet.  Our shallow well's reserve is usually ~500 gallons (5 ft deep in the tubs).  In 2001, our driest year here, it was below 300 and dropping, until late fall.

CON is +4.8F on the highs and -1.1F on the mins. 

Yore heat

Similar here:  +5.5 and -0.8

Chronic ones at that. I’m sure it will be 80/60 on Halloween though. 

[dryslot]

it's been forever since I talked about lawncare. I get that, didn't know or forgot was called lawn dormancy tbh  I do realize that most lawns don't "die" so it makes sense.

[dendrite]

Euro is around 90 both days next weekend.
