[40/70 Benchmark]

Only .38" yesterday....thought I had gotten porked again, but I was stunned to see another .87" in the gage today for a 1.25" event total. Seems to have been kind of mesoscale because some surrounding sites had much less.

Around 2.3" the past couple of days and now over 5" for the month. Garden starting to take off now.

Yeah the hubbub over a "ruined" weekend fell apart, looks okay.  A few sprinkles/light showers possible but otw no complaints, normal stuff.

Why are you so upset about next weekend?

Only Vort95 is calling for cold and snow now. Even Ineedsnow gave up 

It's going to be that type of event where we may not know until it actually happens, if it does.  The fact that the GFS/ECMWF/GDPS/UKMET has shifted the heaviest QPF into NNE, that makes it more likely.  Look at the cold 850 temps NW of the 850 low.

It's never going to look like a lock, even close to it, for snowfall this time of year.  Fun 'n games watching noodles and cats paws on the car windshield.  Scott may just travel to NNE for one last look at winter 25-26!   LOL.

The 00z ECMWF for after the weekend event?  Omega "Supreme" does not want to go away.  Not 1, not 2, but 3 more cold 500 lows NEUS!  And another weekend potential ruined June 6-8 w/ back-to-back coastals.

Misleading.  Measurable rain overall entire weekend says nothing about the sensible wx overall.  Case in point, if Wxwiz got honkin' tstms every weekend in the summer amidst HHH conditions?  Heck, even CoastalWx would welcome that!

And Logan is just one point.  They act like when it rains it is synoptic coverage by default!

50s and 60s over the weekend. Another deep summer stretch. Only hope is to time any rain maybe sat night. I’ll take 60s if we can get sun.

Just looked at the evolution for next weekend. That’s a new way to try to ruin a summer weekend…. a LP diving south out of Hudson Bay. 
 

Side Note: never appreciated that Hudson Bay was relatively shallow (average depth of 300m). Suppose that makes sense given it’s position as basically on the North American continent.

Thankfully we stay dry this weekend . NNE looks rough though

It can't be. It was from AI and Reddit.

Yep true.
