I have kind of checked out of Dorian mode but this track looks bad for Halifax. Strong south wind if the center moves just west. Hopefully it weakens but you have to add in some forward speed I guess with the winds. Good luck to you and Nova Scotia.

We were a little too far north for the beautiful sunset tonight. I remember reading a book once and it said the hurricanes produce beautiful sunsets. It also said that sailors warned that the sunsets in the tropics meant a hurricane was coming your way. I guess it's unusual in the tropics to have huge cirrus overcast skies so this would make sense on the outskirts of a large circulation.

Hum, thr granite theory. I just don't know. I posted a picture on this thread back on Aug 22nd of the clear cut area we did that is now lawn. All granite a couple inches under the top and the grass/weed mix that I keep mowed is fine. So Im stumped

Why don't you do it now? Every day you wait is one less day grass has to establish. Young grass is more susceptible to frost and you start all over again each spring. Just my 2 cents. Oh, when we moved the house 6 years ago I did try some seeding in Sept. Didn't work just the winter wheat that I threw on steep slopes came up. Then hydroseeded the next May and with lots of watering that took

Noon 80% Watch coming for much of New England. I'm a bit surprised in their meso analysis they have C/NNE in the possible watch area. Very cool and thick overcast up here. 65/63 doesn't exactly say severe to me but I know there are other parameters than surface heating Edit. It's been 3 hours since I posted the above and not one post this PM with NE in a slight risk and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Not much happening. I received a few brief showers today with a whopping .07". Everything is now east of me. Severe season winding down. Only thing to watch is Dorian which will stay SE of me and probably SNE too unless there can be some phasing with the trough.

Hi Lava, I only skim this thread from time to time. Just my opinion but if you are going to overseed you should do it ASAP. Everything slows way down, wasn't it last fall they hydroseeded too late? If I were going to plant grass I would have done it a week or two ago. Longer night and less sun angle starts cooling the soil. Yesterday was the first day I mowed down to 3.5". Normally I mow at 4" all summer. Nights in the 40's will be common soon Good luck

Ha, everyone calls them Massholes up here. I wasn't going to say that and insult 3/4 of the boards. Peach tree and apple trees are loaded, come on by!

70/60 Perfect. The sound of silence. All the tourists are gone and the roads are empty. No one even at the one traffic signal down in Bristol 6 miles south. Just the cidadas loudy protesting the comings of fall and a couple of deer in the pasture eating apples. Just the way I like it

I don't know he had psychological issues. Thanks for setting me straight.

I'm a friend of Josh and that was a really stupid comment. A lot of people are worried

1.28" soak yesterday. Still no word from Josh on Great Abaco. Only met him once at the BWI AMWX conference but we frequently message on facebook since we have similar world views. I know he knew what he was doing but this was his most challenging chase with a stalled Cat 5 overhead. Now that Dorian is starting to move I would guess they will start getting helicopters in late today and we will start seeing the total extent of the damage.

59F Light rain, heavy drizzle continues About 1.10"

58.8F Light to moderate rain .87"

58.8" Light rain .74" stratus and .67" VP2. Got to adjust the rain gauge in the VP2 or see if something is blocking the hole. Seems like a switch was pulled here in NNE and we went from summer to fall.

56 Moderate rain .67" in the tipper. No I am not going to turn on the heat but the house is cold

Josh is on great Abaco. Looks like the eye is going 2 Go right over him this afternoon. Some awesome stadium effect videos incoming I bet. Hope he has lots of food and water he may be on that island for some time to come.

Looks like Dorian may miss Florida. I had not paid any attention to the storm for us New Englanders but just looked at the Euro and it has Dorian as a 950mb cane just barely off Cape Hatteras to SE of the benchmark to about Eastport Maine. Just close enough for James to honk a little. Should be some nice surf on south facing beaches next week

Speaking of tropical systems a real nail biter if the 12Z Euro Dorian solution ever comes to fruition. Takes Dorian due west towards MIA/FLL. Then just as the eye comes ashore it veers north all the way up the Florida coast either just onshore or just offshore. The trend is your friend so perhaps Dorian will round the Bermuda high before landfall. Many days to watch this.

1.15" Nice soak, didn't expect that much

62F Moderate rain. About 1".

Heavy rain continues .82"

63/62 Heavy rain .37" Pleasantly surprised. Although the Euro was bullish I just had the feeling I would be shafted in between CF and tropical moisture.

The interaction between CF and tropical moisture will really be interesting to see how it works out. New GFS gives me less than .10", maybe nothing. Congrats on all who get a nice soak, Brian and I look to me in the dry slot between systems

Looks like I might be in no man's land. Heavy to the left, dealers to the right, stuck in the middle with you...

Looks like the shear is decreasing over TD6 to some degree. All afternoon the LLC has been getting closer and closer to the deep convection. Almost there now.
