Several days ago I just couldn’t believe the QPF that the euro was showing. It looks like it largely nailed it…but having only scored about 3” up here, I am indeed rather jealous.

Crazy amounts for sure, but the trend does seem to be pretty strong directionally for good moisture over the next 10-14 days.

I picked up about 1.5" yesterday, with most coming in the evening. Not much, but I'll take it...with an eye on early next week to add.

I think we may need a cold season thread starting on Tuesday.

It was very visible to the naked eye. Yesterday it was at mag 1.5, and I believe this evening it will be 2.5. For sure a bit dimmer this evening and there is a lot of smoke up here, so I don’t have my hopes up too much for a spectacular encore.

Another crisp evening, with a celestial bonus.

It appears that I will land at 2.97" for August. For my location, it was a productive and nearly perfect monsoon with almost daily rains coming in roughly .1" increments with a couple of of .5" days. More broadly, it did seem to be a mixed bag for August with KDEN logging just under an inch for the month.

Sweet!!!

Yeah, and all of this monsoonal moisture is coming just in time:

Yeah, totally socked in up here all day long in the fog. A very fall-like 55 currently.

We picked up .6” of rain today here on the western edge of the Alexander fire. It was a steady and gentle soaking too.

I am currently in evacuation on the Alexander fire, marking the second time in four years. Come on Monsoon…

Icky and smoky up here. The consolation is that it is not local smoke…yet.

Same here, where it is a bit frustrating to see decent QPF all around me. Meanwhile I have been clocking a steady .05"/day for quite some time. But even that I will take.

We have done a little better up here. It was dry until a week ago, and over the past week we have had daily .05” rains or so. The past two days have logged a quarter inch each. Not a ton, but better than it could have been. Temps have been quite seasonally average up here, likely tempered by 2pm’ish daily rains and cloud cover.
