With 60s in the forecast for the next 10 days…. We uninstalled. 

We are uninstalling today.  Cool week ahead and then we are on vacation the following week.  I’ve never needed a/c in October and doubt I will this year

Turned it off here this morning.  Hopefully for the last time this season but you never know.

60/39

The house is a little chilly all the sudden, ha.  Crazy how it can go from stuffy the other day to wearing a hoodie inside.

Yeah it's weird. Always seems to happen around this time of year too.

Thankfully I don't live anywhere near Newark. I have been out on my boat just about every day this week and the long Island sound water temps are still mid 70's.

The middle of the sound out to the race is still 75-77 degrees..

Yeah it's the diminishing sun angle. Reverse happens in Morch, from car interiors to whole buildings

Yeah. Some really warm water still in the sound. 

We saw 2 pods of bottle nose dolphins this morning

 Bottlenose dolphins are increasingly spotted in the Long Island Sound as they follow schools of fish into the warming waters.

Recent Sightings and Encounters:

Branford and Stony Creek: On September 4, 2026, a pod of more than 20 bottlenose dolphins surrounded a boat piloted by a wildlife refuge worker traveling from Falkner Island toward Stony Creek.

Norwalk and Western Sound: Multiple pods have been documented by local boaters and fishermen off the coast of Norwalk and neighboring towns.

General Distribution: Sightings occur with regularity near Milford, Bridgeport, Stamford, Greenwich, and the Connecticut River

ACATT wanted to end the relentless torch we’ve been in. So you’re now left with a week + straight of rain and mild temps starting  Sunday .  Preparing us for a whole winter of the same thing with little to no snow 

When did  you become such a debbie downer?

ORH and BOs are both at +0.6F   AN, but not really torchy... prob around where the month finishes

Above average.  Still normal.

Definitely chilly this aftn. Maybe some rain tomorrow and then more boredom. Not sure how much if any impact from that coastal.

Biggest storm potential probably since March.

 

The coastal surface reflection forms in the subtropics and phases with a mid level disturbance.

 

We’ll have to see if we can get a named system out of this before reaches the mid latitudes. That will be the difference between run of the mill or something more unique, as advertised on the WPC output.

Ok so best to expect a nice sunny day now

Around 81-82.  Yeah it's been a really crazy summer on the sound with all kinds of tropical fish being caught and pods of dolphins. 

Even some hammer heads are coming up..
