Wake Me Up When September Ends..Obs/Diso

I'm fine with boring. I just hope we can maintain 70's (and occasional lower 80's) as long as possible. 

I like that into about mid-October, but I want the step down. A normal fall progression would be fine with me.

I hate fall. If I want to see pretty colors I'll buy a giant bag of skittles.

I’m with @RUNNAWAYICEBERG this morning.

Boring is fine. Fall is the best time of year IMO, and having some days where you can actually be outside and enjoy the “Goldilocks zone” without thinking about wx isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

When the late season homebrew threat for the Gulf or October nor’easter that blasts the Cape comes along I’ll be ready. Until then, we embrace the epic beauty of seasonal transition.

We need a break after the wet and sticky summer. I had to put off my large outdoor project in June because of the humidity. I also got local skin cancer on my neck so I need to be smarter being out in the sun during the summer. Now the sun angle is lower so I have more shade on my property to continue the project and 70/50 sunny days makes it that much more enjoyable.

Not just about foliage, which is spectacular. September has high end tropical in the basin. October has homebrew and a more pronounced step down in temperature. In late September through part of October there’s a period where normal weather is literally perfect—not too hot or cold, not too wet or dry. Then you transition to the occasional coastal storm as the days get shorter late October into November. It’s a fantastic season. 

As I’ve grown to loathe winter (tracking) I love and embrace fall even more.

Yikes...sorry to hear that. Hope all is well.

Probably some road damage in Farmington last evening - 2 hours of blinding rain 6-8 PM, had to go 15 mph while going thru the UMF campus about 6:20 and at 8 waded at 5 mph thru the huge pond in front of Giffords.  Some cocorahs numbers for my site (NS), Temple, and the average of 2 Farmington sites north of town center:

              NS          Temple     Farmington
9/13     0.26"         1.26"         0.48"
9/14     0.33"         1.71"          3.34"

Hope you're good man. Glad it was caught.

I like warm falls these days, but still want a couple cold shots to kill the bugs and remind us winter is getting close. I usually like to see first flakes in late October or early November.

Those frigid Septembers back in the late 1980s/early 1990s were useless. (except seeing snow on the last day of Sept 1992....that actually was pretty awesome)

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Yea, I’m good. Thanks. They got all of it, 12 stitches later, but I like lower sun angles even more now.

[powderfreak]

Dews this morning dropped into upper 40s at sunrise… now as the dew evaporates it’s back up to 54F.

But that was a long stretch of 60+ dews to start September.  Air is clear again finally.

So I ended with 2.41” here yesterday in E Brooklyn, cross Route 6 north here in town and 5-7” with many roads flooded or washed out. Throw in a tornado for good measure (and I am pretty confident it went right over my hood) and that’s one of the best severe threats that Wiz hasn’t hyped!

Curious why, most of the heavy rain and even tornadic events here happened in higher elevations of Windham County, a reason why? Luck of the draw?

Saw debris on Rt12 right before Big Y. That circ was tight overhead. Pretty sure I saw a funnel but it was quickly obscured by rain.

Here is a video from South Foster RI showing yesterday’s possible tornado

Northern Maine had 2-6" on Sept 30, 1991. 
Ironically, on that same date in 1986 a supercell flattened 600 acres 10-12 miles south of Fort Kent.  I've never seen any evaluation from CAR, but the straight-line damage suggested 90-100 mph - perfectly sound sugar maples were snapped off before they could be uprooted.  The swath was 4 miles long and up to 1/2 mile wide, ending as it blew trees into the north end of Square Lake.

12:10pm and 64/48 at MVL.  It feels like it should this time of the year all of the sudden.

One aspect I like about autumn ... particularly going past the Met mid point, is the tracking the first snowfall.  You may even get a couple of shots at it  ... A flurry from a busted virga cu doesn't really count in this - although, that air mass is kind of romantic if someone's wood stove is adding sentiment.  You sometimes get the obvious chance, but you might also get those cold cat paw rains that 'smell' like snow?   All the while, if they fail, you got like 4 months of retries so no sweat.

Although I do start to tune out by mid February if and when the winter's are long and unproductive.

I love that as much as snow.

Glad they caught it. My bro in lawn got melanoma on his forehead a few years ago....just barely caught it in time.

Wow, lucky. I have to get checked every 6mo now and if all good after 3 visits, I have my checkups 1x per year. I’ll go every month if they want though, eff that. Thankfully my kids have my wife’s skin tone but now that they saw my stitches and understand why, they don’t complain when mom puts on sunscreen…in fact, they put it on themselves now lol.

Love how it all goes down in one direction, then flips around and goes the other way.  That’s no straightline wind.

I had a few basal cell carcinoma patches removed in my late 20s.  Haven’t had any since then.  I do try to cover up or use sunscreen but I sometimes forget. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Right now is the thinking that there was one long(ish) track tornado? One that was skipping?  Or 2 or three smaller ones?

That's just across the border from me too. I saw that circulation from work.

That’s what I had removed, a big patch on the back of my neck. Glad you haven’t had any since but I suspect I will have more to remove moving forward. Do you still get checked every year?

You getting treatment? My golfing buddy got it on his ass and has been getting radiation treatment after they cut it out, says it's been wiping him out and can't golf the Tourney Sat. Better than chemo, they think they got it and hopefully he's ok.

When I go for my yearly physical the doctor gives me a look over.  I did recently change doc so I will need to let them know
