  3. Happy birthday Dave and Raunshine
    And tom Brady

    And there may be a new addition to that birthday list by end of day. Daughter on her way to hospital 🙂

    4. So exciting!! Happy birthday to Dave and Rainshine, sending prayers, comforting, pain-free thoughts to Vicki’s daughter! What an exciting day, and weatherwise, such a perfect day to bring a baby into the world!

      2. Thank you, Flowergirl75! By the way – love your name. Whenever I see it I think of pretty flowers – all year round!

  4. Thanks TK !

    Clear and calm last night and it was chilly !!

    47F at 3am in Sydney, Canada.

    Warming nicely this morning.

  6. Vicki, best wishes to your daughter!

    Tom, 47F sounds great.

    TK, thank you once again for all the work you do.

    Fernando Abad, you’re living up to your name’s reputation. That was `a bad’ outing. So much for my saying he was a good pitcher. Funny how when they put on different laundry, this can go south in a hurry.

    1. South in a hurry? I should say so! VERY FIRST batter he faced in a Red Sox
      uniform! Way to go!! Typical, very very typical!

  7. I forgot to include birthday wishes for our most enthusiastic poster – JPDave. And also birthday greetings to Rainshine.

    1. Thanks Joshua. I “think” I still maintain being the “oldest” poster on the blog. 😀

  8. Thanks TK
    Happy Birthday JPDave and Rainshine.
    Vicki best wishes to your daughter and family.

  9. Good morning and thank you TK.

    re: Saturday

    GFS continues to slowly back off some.
    NAM now has more robust parameters, yet shows practically ZILCH on the radar
    Sims.

    We shall see.

  10. Thanks, everyone, for your well wishes for my daughter 🙂

    I have four friends with a birthday today…..may I consider Brady a friend 😉

  11. 6z GFS keeps best instability south of SNE. NAM as usual robust and over done.
    From NWS Taunton for Saturday
    the accompanying shortwave lags the front by
    about 6 to 12 hours. If this timing holds, it will limit how
    intense the storms are able to get

    1. Isn’t it always the case? I don’t care about severe, as long as we get some
      RAIN out of it. TK says isolated to widely scattered. Doesn’t sound promising, does it?

  12. I would have loved to sent some of the rain we got your way. There were some places here in CT that got over two inches of rain over the weekend.

  16. I just was reading an article oceanography I believe that said all across the board the next 3 months couid be the warmest on record for the fall. Tk couid you chime in on this please .

            1. Perfect. I don’t buy anything straight out until I check the source. Thanks in advance!

  20. Its enough there for thunderstorm development. Now we wait for EURO. The way we been going probably going to be isolated at best.

    1. Interesting, as there are areas of cooler than normal water as well. Maybe he thinks that doesn’t count. 😉

        1. Fits the current AMO phase, coming out of the southern cooler spike. About what I expected to see based on previous projections.

  22. And a very happy birthday to JpDave, rainshine, and possibly a new addition to Vicki’s family?? 🙂

  23. It is an absolutely perfect August day. We even have some really interesting clouds thrown into what was clear blue sky. Love it

  24. Happy birthday to all the birthday people.

    JPDave….might have you beat as the oldest here.
    I am 75, but don’t look a day older than 74.

  28. 18z GFS came in more robust on the Saturday convection. I’m not optimistic for anything much though.

    In a guarded fashion, I’m hopeful for wetter times by late next week based on a few signals I’m seeing. It’ll be more needed than ever after the next 7 days. The CPC has nudged us into slightly enhanced probabilities of above normal precip over days 8-14. Hardly a reason for confidence, as TK has said they’ve done that before this season, but maybe this time will be different, have to wait and see.

    Finally, Earl, now a hurricane, will make landfall in Belize tonight, with quiet times to follow in the Atlantic once he’s out of the way.

    1. Also, as a final note, the West Pacific will enter into an active typhoon regime over the next two weeks after a very slow start to the season there. Any strong recurving typhoons will have to be watched for downstream impacts, we’ve seen in the past how those can sometimes throw a wrench into our weather, distant as they may seem.

  30. I also noticed that with 18z GFS. Enough there for thunderstorm development and possible strong to severe storms.

  31. Vicki, Congratulation on the new addition to your family: Rilyn Mac!

    Dave, that’s a great spot for fishing. I used to live in Needham as kid, fairly close to the Dover line, and my father and I would bike to Medfield.

  34. Thank you again everyone. She is lovely…but then all babies are lovely

    Dave that is a lovely area to fish. And on a perfect day. How’d you do?

  36. Severe parameters have been fluctuating from run to run and model to model
    for Saturday.

    Simulated radars are NOT looking impressive. We shall see. Getting closer
    now. Let’s see what 12Z runs show.

  38. Belated happy birthday to all those who celebrated one yesterday!
    Congrats Vicki!

    Today would have been my dad’s 93rd. This is the first birthday without him. Mom and I are taking fresh flowers to his grave today.

    New post available. Have a great day!
