You’d think you would be used to disappointment by now.

Pretty sweet air mass. Not a cloud in the sky.

First day I've noticed the late sunlight becoming golden. Fall is not far off.

Yes and no.

I’ve sweated my ass off piling silage in September as well as dealing with leaves in October.

I’ve also froze my ass off doing both.

One never knows.

Main reason I rely on this place and the people who can give me a “ heads up” on what to expect.

Only 4.5 months until the days start getting longer again.

Ugh. Noticed it here too. There’s a gap in the western woods here on the NW side of my property that lets the sun shine through later during peak solar. Tonight was the first night the sun started setting south of that gap again.

Light never changes. 

Rayleigh Scattering: Air molecules scatter short wavelengths of light (like blue and violet) in all directions. When the sun is low, almost all the blue light is scattered away before it gets to you.

Less blue

Rayleigh Scattering will not be denied.

I can totally see narrow zone or a few towns getting 3-5” but that would be combined with both the morning stuff and if anything fires in the afternoon

Actually the sky is bluest at solar noon on the solstice if perfectly clear. More blue making it to our eyes…less scattered away.

Mostly Mie scattering today though.

At solar noon. What about in the afternoon?

Thought this even looked good last Thursday or maybe it was Friday. Front is actually moving more quickly than I thought but when you're ripping a 40+ knot LLJ ahead of a slow moving front with sfc dews >70 and 850 dews into the 60's, PWATS > 2" and a totally saturated profile...great way to great prolific rain rates and over a large area. 

Yes; for sure...
