Great advice. Not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand, but great advice nonetheless.

lol. I come quiet or active, sunny or downpours. I like knowing why things the way they are, boring or not. If I were interested in MILFS, COC, and retirement I'd go in the banter thread, shut my mouth, and read on.

Banter thread, then. Talk that stuff all you want there.

When things are quiet, this place turns to MILFs, and that's cool with you. Got it.

Damn, I come looking for weather in the discussion thread and it's milfs and retirement. Jeebus, take it to PM.

That's triple nasty, eyewall. We are under Double Filthy Conditions today, just a notch below your weather. Woke up and found dew on the grass with an air temp of 78F. . Went for a walk in the woods and came back drenched, feeling like I walked in the swamp, under water, uphill both ways, with a sloth on my back.

For Saturday in my neck of the woods, NWS has 95 F, WU has 97 F. Those are very rare forecasted high temps. Yeesh. And I won't even comment on the Heat Index (find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place), but here's this morning's AFD from the NWS: Current heat index values are between 95-104, with a few locations across Addison county likely to exceed these.

0.41 inches of rain. There was maybe 0.05 from yesterday's brief showers, but I didn't remember to read the gauge in the afternoon yesterday to separate out that total from this morning's event.

The Stopped Clock trophy? Or the participation medal?

This map shows how all of New England is suffering from this brutal summer HHH, as far as the eye can see.

Really clever set up.

Well said, moneypitmike. That should end the discussion, but it won't because of goalposts. Speaking of goalposts on an alarmist's other favorite subject, here's a summary of where things stand today, the USDA definition of D0, and a map of the northeast. "Some short-term precipitation shortfalls have popped up across interior southern New England and a few other isolated areas, but D0 introduction was not warranted at this time, and the region remains free of any dryness on the Drought Monitor. " - Richard Tinker, NOAA

Twitter Mets with full credentullz and Duh-greez on wall are serious sources. Especially if they have followers and know how to post charts for easy (but not necessarily accurate) comprehension.

3.23" total. 3rd highest 24-hr total in the 10 years since getting the Stratus.

3+ inches today. A bit wet.

0.83 inches of rain yesterday. As miserable as yesterday was, I'll take this weather over last year's just about any time. For comparison: April 2018, 4.46 inches May 2018: 1.07 inches, BTV temp departure: +5.9F April 2019: 4.71 inches May 2019: 4.90 inches, BTV temp departure: -1.8F The dry and warm 2018 led into an extended drought, with my area receiving only 3 inches of rain in June and again in July, and only 2.66 inches in August. That was rough.

Tough, nasty day for working outdoors. Thoroughly soaked, and the chill landed like punch in the gut. 0.75 inches of rain, now sitting at 47°F. Thankfully, this is short term.

Hard to argue with pictures. And you bear a remarkable and uncanny resemblance to a Soviet stud muffin, so I really wouldn't dare argue with you at all.

Agree. If you have hardcore science to back it up, all the better. But gut feelings count for so much ‘round here, so that’s good, too.

Normally, I bet in favor of AN temps, but not this fall. The AN temps and rain start on Dec 24, too late to affect the period's overall meme.

Thank you. It took a lot of hard work, and I'm proud of not giving up when things were most dire. Here's a bit more explanation: In Depth Temperature Analysis If you look closely, you can see that the mean high temp line goes through each of the boxes differently: The Warming Up Period (AKA Deep Summer/Too Late to Install): About Normal Greatest Chance for HHH Period: Slightly Cooler than Normal. We'll still experience routine calls for Epic HHH, but it ain't happening. Lots of the last H, but very little of the first two. The Cooling Off Period: Below Normal Snow Chances Epoch: Well Below Normal Gonna Be Wet - Get Over It As for precipitation: Wet. Damp. Borderline moldy. Maybe three consecutive days of uninterrupted sunshine in July (the 5th, 6th, and 7th) and definitely sunny and dry the entire week of August 11. But's that all we can expect. Oh, and flood insurance policies should be renewed prior to September 23. Widespread flooding. Coastal erosion. Permanent Mean Sea Level increase of 60 mm.

After consulting various indices, anagrams, the Farmer's Almanac, Twitter, and every predictive animal and insect, this is what I've come up with for the remainder of the year. The r2 value approaches 1, and the 95% CI is very small, so I’m feeling very confident in this.

Beautiful, eyewall. I could only see the green faintly. Was the pink visible to the naked eye?
