We’ve had some maple leaf drop during the past few days. A bunch yesterday.  
 

not sure it is really unusual, but maybe a little early due to the lack of rain. 

Probably a little stressed, yeah.

[CoastalWx]

At least it’s sunny here.

1.67” Let’s get deep summer back 

[HoarfrostHubb]

I don’t see any deep summer incoming.   I wouldn’t rule it out though in a week or so.

Yeah, I’m not far from that either.  And we had a very, very wet July locally here too. So we’ve been decent in the water department aside from a few Stein stretches.

Yeah decent summer of water down that way.  We locally had some good July water of 6” (very localized thanks to a random pixel storm of 2.5”) but been very dry in August.

It'll be 83 to 85 with dps ~ 62 tomorrow Saturday and Sunday in the interior away from weakening marine contamination.  That actually edges above climo at this time.

what do we mean by "deep" ?

[dryslot]

41°F was the low this morning, brrrr.

Wait wtf.  We badgered you for years as you begged someone to hook you up. Not the Davis?

1-2" here seems possible, but I'll go with .75 based on how the last month has gone. 

1.08" final

What? You’re thinking when I just had temp sensor years ago

90/70 at ASOS like mid-summer is what “deep” is to me.

[weatherwiz]

I'm super pumped for this severe weather class. Skew T's, Log P's (don't know much about those though), thermodynamic review (prob screwed there). shear, hodographs, soundings, and so much more and final project is a case study

heh... great.  more subjective word maze popsicle headache.

Yeah I dunno.   'for me' I'm okay with deep summer being 83/62.   It's not winter. It's not autumn nor spring.   It's summer, and above climo for August 20.  

But again, it's a semantic waste of time.  90/70 is just hot; deep summer needs to be in place, first.

Haha yeah, it’s all subjective on here.  Maybe “deep” needs a departure from normal?

Or I do like your method better.  It’s not spring, fall or winter weather… so summer.  Just lose the “deep” nomenclature.

In most years, our white birches start dropping leaves in mid-late August.  Drought (1.82" July 1 on) has brought some leaves from other species.

Our driest August is 0.88" in 2002 and we're 0.60" behind that.  GYX discussions have .25-.50 Sunday/Monday then some dry days.  Could be close.

The other thing that's irked me about this recent 3 or 4 day cool down is that it's lying? 

Talk about a faux autumn con -job.   I say that because the hydrostatic heights ( thickness) have never fallen below 566 dm along the BUF-BOS latitude.  Actually it was true over BTV, too.   "deep" in the toposphere.  The cool air has been a narrow layer on the bottom - completely belying the true deep layer, positive anomaly ongoing thermodynamic nature of the thing.

Fake cold?   
We're good at that here.

80/45 is a bit too dry summer

80/53 is still too dry for summer

85/62 is perfect summer

87/73 is great beach weather summer

93/77 is way too hot 

 

[HoarfrostHubb]

I guess what I meant by deep summer is high 80s-90s.  There will def be warm stretches.  
Dews seem more manageable as well.

Our summers are more deep than our winter snow packs now

Gee ...any marine taint today ?

A low of 41F in August is absolutely insane to me, as I lived in the south for three decades. But I love it. By August I'm mentally checked out of summer and thinking only of autumn (yes, it was that way when I lived in the south. It's a bad time to be checked out of summer when it's still hitting the upper 90s and 100s everyday).

It didn't get down to 41F where I live in CT, but it was an amazing day yesterday. The temps dropped into the mid 50s for most of the day. I got to sleep under all of my covers last night, the first time in a long time. I'm so ready for that to be an every night thing.
