It’s finally slowing down here but it’s nice to get a full day soaking for the first time in months. Sometimes a rainy Sunday just feels right! Looking at just around 1.7” since yesterday evening.

It gives you an excuse to sit inside and watch football all day.

41.7⁰ this morning....if all goes right, first 30s here tomorrow morning? Euro looks pretty wet in the long range, need the rain but that looks like a miserable stretch if it were to happen that way. 

I’ll sell that stretch.

A bit over 1" from Saturday's event, including some Sunday leftovers.  Raised the Sandy River by 0.15 feet, still under the 25th percentile and headed back down.

First fire in the stove in nearly 3 months this morning - low of 41 after yesterday's cloudy drippy high of 59.

% normal precip…last 30 days and 90 days

Water pouring out of hills in Tolland while grass spontaneously ignites here. The foliage looks like it’s 3-4 weeks ahead.

It is like Ireland here. Every single storm and rain event hit hard. Should be best foliage season in many many DJT years locally. Had the lawn aerated and overseeded this morning.

Lake Winni nearing it’s lowest level in 40+ years for this time of year.

Interesting. The much larger Great Lakes have dropped some but not to that extent. Obviously takes a lot more time for levels to change due to the total mass and large drainage basin.

Looking at Huron-Michigan (technically a single lake system), the current value is the lowest for September since 2014, although from 1999 through 2014, every September was lower than the present. Conversely from 1967 through 1998, every September had a higher lake level than present with the exception of September 1990, which was 0.04 meters lower than this year.  It looks like the well-known 1988 drought likely led to that brief period of low waters during an otherwise pluvial period.

The Great Lakes almost always drop this time of the year, with annual minimum heights typically occurring in late winter and maximum heights in late summer. If it stays dry, that'll likely occur even quicker than climo averages. So I suspect the final value for September will be as low or lower than that reading from 1990 as the lake should continue dropping [especially if the current forecasts hold]. But it would probably take another year of lower precipitation to start reaching the lows of the early 2000s.

Yeah, there’s been a weird corridor from Northern Connecticut. Northern Rhode Island to my area. Can’t really complain this summer. Stein tried to brown my grass for a few weeks, but if you don’t water that can happen. 
 

I can’t recall in all my life seeing complete desert like conditions at the lakes region versus things staying green here.
