Not improving in the near future. Just so glad this did not happen during the warmer months. Would have been hellish for those with ag interests not to mention home gardeners. Also not to mention what it would have done to elevate temperatures.

Currently 44 here with a gusty wind and lots of strato cu. Looks and feels like November!
-
Received .26". Just enough to dampen the fire fuel for a couple of days. Did nothing other than that and we look to be back into a drier pattern again. At least we have lost the record and near record high temperatures!

If I get 1/4" I will call it a win.

Summary on the dry September / October from State Climatology office at Rutgers: https://www.njweather.org/content/bone-dry-october-2024-recap

Expansive dryness and drought continues to affect and is expanding over majority of the lower 48.
-
Just way too warm out there today. I like nice weather as much as anyone but this is unpleasant at this time of year. Sorry.
-
That soil looks mighty dry! Terrible.

Interesting blog post from Mt. Washington Observatory site. Was kind of surprised at precipitation departures over last 365 days. Darn close to normal. Would have expected more significant positive departures. Certainly dry over the last 2 months over a large area. https://mountwashington.org/wildfires-in-new-england/

Same here! Anything.

I am hoping for this. If whatever this becomes can get linked up with an eastward moving front / upper trof we might get some needed rainfall. Timing might me good. The fact that this development has been delayed might end up being a good thing. We'll see. Thanks Walt!

Just a few sprinkles earlier. Slightly dampened the ground. Not even a drop in the gauge. I was giddy this morning just to wake up and see a heavily overcast sky. It actually looked like a November morning. It felt like an early September morning with temperatures in the 60's with humidity. Clouds will be exiting soon with more bright sun and above normal temperatures to follow. Wonderful!

Their high so far today is 85.2. They are currently sitting at 85.
-
Sorry, my error. I was referencing the 85 at Duke Farms, not the Airport.
-
Until we get a meaningful pattern change dry is going to beget dry (and warm)
-
They just hit 85.
-
Sorry, this is just nasty for this time of year.
-
No rain here. Still sitting at a trace for the month.
-
Unbelievable. Came so far and had to have it screwed up for .01".
-
All the parks and recreation spots around my area and up into Sussex county have Extreme Fire Danger signs posted. I live across the street from Berkshire Valley Wildlife Preserve, took a walk there yesterday and it is just bone dry and dusty. No improvement for at least a week and maybe 10 days. Terrible. I'm honestly surprised fires have not been more numerous across the state.

Rule of thumb is when Alaska is BN we are AN. Working so far!
-
When we do squeeze out a BN monthly temperature departure it is by tenths of a degree. The warmer than normal months are solidly above normal usually by 1-2 degrees+, or so it seems. I have not gone back to check it out but it certainly seems that way. One dry month I remember was November 1976, but that month was colder than normal from what I remember. I recall walking to school and freezing my young arse off in frequent Arctic outbreaks. Nov. 1976 may still stand as the driest November on record. Again, I did not go back to check. December 76 and January 77 of course were frigid but I believe both months remained on the dry side.
-
Just a nasty look all around.
-
Ugly looking!

Radar showed a few small blobs racing through my area between 4:30 and 5:00 this morning. Ground was slightly damp at 6am but rain gauge did not have even a single drop. Entered a "trace". Third "T" of the month and that is it so far.
