Never been a fan of that metric. How long have we tracked that figure?

Decades.  Generally back into the 1940s or 1950s.  There is some element of striking it at the right time since the upper air soundings are typically only taken twice a day.

Yeah it is a useful index for measuring moisture as it is a measure of the entire atmospheric column.

Storm total so far 1.38 with another .25-.50 before it's done. Temp was 47 at 9pm last night and has been rising since... Currently 62.  It's warm, but autumn like anyway with the dark clouds, gusty wind, and vivid color. Not minding the warmth at all right now, but in a few weeks when climo says snow can start sticking around, I might not be as understanding.

0.91" here the last two days... not what we initially expected, but ok.  The weekly total is 1.61".  The grass is greening up again.

We gusted over 40 mph earlier behind just behind the front.

2 day total here is close to 0.75"

Nate is hauling (26 mph on latest advisory). Some indication of some slowdown later tonight but my guess would be the faster it moves, the more likely it would be to see a westward nudge in the track after it's inland.

Motion has indeed slowed a bit, now 20 mph.

It's looking pretty good for more soaking rainfall across the dry western part of the subforum over the next week... first on Tuesday, then again this weekend.  The grass has already sprung back to life, big time.

Tuesday is going to be the coldest of the season so far around here.... 50s, rainy, windy.
