Oh f***! You're lucky you caught that early. Lyme is unpleasant, analplasmosis will floor you.

You are number 1005. You should feel special. When I caught it there were only 300 cases in Massachusetts. I was one of the first off the cape.

I'm dumbfounded as to when and how I got this. But fuck it...time to nuke everything with every chemical out there.

The weekend definitely had more potential for heat a few days ago. Erin is mucking it up a bit…especially in SNE. It’ll be warm up here, but nothing to write home about.

COC has definitely won out this month. But with the abundant sunshine it’s been a beaut. 

Through yesterday, August has offered 75% of available sunshine.  Tops for a full month came in July 2019 with 69%.  Some overnight downpours would make this month nearly perfect.

68/44 yesterday and 38 this morning, first sub-40 in August since 2020.

When I caught that in November of 2022, my wife was convinced I was having a stroke.  It messed up my vision as well.  Fortunately, it was quickly diagnosed (Doc seeing another tick stuck to my back at the ER helped) and doxycycline knocked out the worst symptoms in 24 hours.

Looks to be a flash flood threat CT RI and cape to Central Jersey Wednesday … HRRR adamant on a stripe of 10-16” in Jersey where they have had a ton of rain this summer 

I am back and forth on potential for any flash flooding. I am not sure if we will really see heavy enough rainfall rates. Doesn't look like there will be much in the way of convective rainfall. Thinking mostly just a steady enough rainfall to where drainage systems aren't being overfilled and the ground should absorb.

Badly needed around here.   And that would be perfect as heavy rain just runs off

I can see what he means though for down into NJ (especially southern NJ). It will be more unstable down that way and better chance for convection. There certainly could be some localized significant flash flooding in those parts tomorrow, especially if any cells train over a specific area. 

For us though I think flooding potential is very low.

Looks like a coastal front/strong low level fronto there for the flash flooding. Think last year in SW CT where humid SE winds met up with low level NE flow where the flooding occurred. That's where I think the real FF will be. Seems like one of those deals here where a narrow area here could get 2-3"+ of rain like NAM 3K and HRRR show.

yeah, things are really dry despite some localized flooding last week. I think we are under half an inch this month here and the Pomperaug river is really low right now, lowest I have see it in quite some time. Trees locally have browning leaves, with the chilly morning it almost looked and felt like late September/early October

Yeah a nice swath from within NJ across Long Island. Maybe even potential for a brief tornado across southern NJ and some waterspouts off the coast.

I'd like to see less than 3/4ths of the mid latitude continent actually below 90F before I'd declare summer's "back broken" - whatever that purely subjective expression really means..  We had a cool week back in July, too - just bear that in mind.

We'll remeber the weenie back broken calls when it's 65 on 2/19. Will happily declare back broken then.

Yeah, that’ll teach those fukkers to mess with you. Welcome to the new norm. Diseases coming at you in every direction 24/7 365 days a year. Can’t escape it.
