Weather

[GCoyote]

I've only had 4 "clear" nights. Two coincided with a full moon and all suffered from smoke haze/humidity.
We were getting regular rain until the first part of August followed by three dry weeks with temps in the 90s that burned up a lot of the vegetation. Two days of rain now.

Rainfall total for the past 48 hours: 1.5"

Final tornado count from Thursday. Nothing major, but still quite a few. Sunny and hot now, but more storms forecast to hit tonight.

I will assume that is the same line that slammed into us. We had three small tornados that day. But get this, by the evening everything cleared out and we had the clearest and most stable skies that we have had all year. I am still kicking myself for not getting the 16 inch out that night.

Over the next ten days we're looking at low-90 temps dropping to mid-70s, partly cloudy throughout, down to mid-50s overnight.
Unusually cool for September.

Heavy rain yesterday, got about an inch here, cleared overnight. About 53°F now, going up to the 70s hopefully.

We got rain today, first time in ages. My marrows are well pleased. It's been hot for over a week and mostly clear but very humid. I'm imaging most nights but I shut her down when the relative humidity reaches 90%. Last night that was 00:30.

Lovely late summer day here, we spent some time by the beach, high about 84F.

The top figure is a typical 10-day forecast for my area, so regular that you might set your watch to it.

But can you really? I decided to give it a try; of course all you need is the sun, but this regularity in temperature, cloud cover, and wind speed was intriguing. So I set out to try a multivariate linear fit to the three, versus time of day.

Unfortunately the hourly data at VisualCrossing does not include cloud cover, and giving this a second thought, each of the variables follow the same pattern, so combining them in a predictive fit probably wouldn’t be too useful. But a quick fit of the hourly temperatures for August gave a not-so-surprising answer: a period of 22 hours 46 min.

One and done.

By the way, look at that cloud cover every night!

Storms overnight, humidity is finally predicted to fall leaving just a stubborn jet stream messing up my transparency.
Rainfall total past 24 hours: 2.8"

We had a sprinkle yesterday (Saturday) as part of a cloudy weekend in the low-60s.
Ten-day outlook calls for temps to rise into low-90s by next weekend, then drop to mid-80s, mix of sun and clouds.

That "hurricane" has finally left the Mid-Atlantic coast after almost 2 weeks!

We now have beautiful weather for the next week, it's scope time

[GCoyote]

Forecast dry and mild for the next few days.

Supposed to 84°F today and clear. Summer's last hurrah? But I'll take it. I'm loathing Chicago winters more and more.

Tell me about it, we just moved from NC to NJ, not looking forward to winter at all.

I plan on growing my nails long and claw at the drywall all winter

Wild wild weather today....branches bowing, leaves horizontal....

Everything is better after a warm hug from a cup of espresso.....

Yeah, my sister-in-law lives in Charlotte. I could handle that. And I love the airport.

Well, yesterday was a wild old day......winds gusting to 100km/hr and torrential rain. Interesting to see the little rivulets that form and run down my sloping block and around the house.

Need to get the blower out and move some pooled water off decks.

Then, predictions which are usually accurate, are saying that I should have almost a full week of clear skies.

I believe that's the predicted cold front on the way. Looks to be nice and clear behind it though.

Daytime highs in the 80s, overnight in the 50s over the next ten days, some days clear, some not.

Frost warning last night, but things were only wet with dew shortly before sunrise. Hopefully clear tomorrow before dawn since I'm working remotely and can go back to bed for awhile after observing.

[helicon]

Rains, somewhat heavy with power outages it was predicted - but pretty much just showers. Three days of clear weather followed by more rain after that...
