I think this is a sugar maple, but I am not sure. The silver maples have slightly different leaves.

Dry. Warm. Dry. Sunny. Dry. Colors continue to pick up steam despite the warmer weather. Did I mention dry?

I did hear the east side of the city got a surprise strong storm (with flash flooding) yesterday though, which is something.

Apparently, DET picked up nearly 2" of rain from it.

They did. It was so small and isolated but trained. It probably affected 25% of Detroit city and nowhere else.

Wet stretch coming Sunday

Euro 12z:

GFS 12z:


To add insult to injury however, models are in agreement on a large cutoff low coming by the middle of next week that is expected to be around through the end of the month.

Wet day in the Twin Cities. After a dry stretch this is welcome moisture as the Butternut Squash in my garden gets ready to be harvested.

The day the jet stream forgot

so much of the 500mb is under 20 kt. I think weather forgot how to happen

Picked up 0.15 from a dying cell earlier. Thundered nicely for over a half hour which was nice to hear.

Football game was OK last night. Rain ended, and field was in good condition. It wasn't the homecoming game like I thought, that's in 2 weeks. My bad. But TH won against Pine City 7-0. Awesome defensive battle. THHS is 3-1 for the season so far. Still a wet day with drizzle, and shwrs around. Nearly an inch of rain so far the last couple days.

Yes, looks like our spell of nearly ideal weather is coming to an end.

Managed to get a pretty decent little boomer out here last night. Tiny cell that just happed to go right over me at the right time. Was an absolute downpour for about 10 minutes and some decent c2c lightning with great rolling thunder. That should keep my bitching suppressed for a few days. A nice surprise and a good watering for the grass and plants. I am happy (for now).
