1. Thanks TK. What a fine day.

2. Thank you, TK. This is one of those days when you walk out the door first thing and thing…..hmm, going to be a hot one. Then you wonder if it will be a heat wave and then realize it is late September and summers fairwell smile

   1. We’ll get a bonus day out of this stretch tomorrow for sure, and maybe even Tuesday.

      Once we get to October that summer feel is definitely gone even if we get the anomalous warmth. That’s when it just becomes a warm autumn day.

      1. 🙂

3. In foxboro at Pats game sitting in the sun. Holy crap is it hot. We are drenched.

   Aside from the first rush they are looking like sh!t so far.

   1. A bit of a struggle isn’t it but they will fix it. Enjoy the game wow being in the sun.

4. Asking for my niece: Her stepson is getting married this Thursday–a destination wedding, on the Outer Banks. What are your thoughts about Maria? (She’s not invited, but is she going to show up anyway?)

   1. I think it is going to be very gusty and currently I’m 50/50 for some rain reaching them.

      1. Thanks!

5. Thank you. What a day.

6. At least the Pats game was low stress today.

   1. RIGHT. About as low as it gets. 😀

   2. Lol, that defense needs to get better

   3. What an exciting finish, but yes, defense has serious issues. Shouldn’t have been that hard.

      1. Red Sox came back to win as well. 🙂

      2. If i was butler i would be so mad as gilmore has done nothing, yet he is getting the big bucks

   4. Hahahaha. My post on FB was that I’m far too old for these type games. A win is a win but darn that had some ugly moments. I enjoyed watching Wilson…

7. I’ve been a season ticket holder for about 20 years and I’ve never been so hot and sweaty at a regular season game as I was today. By the end of the game the breeze had died down and it was just a sticky, uncomfortable mass of humanity. Got home at 6pm to see it was 77 out with a DP of 72. Crazy stuff.

8. Expected a close game. Got a close game. Got a win. Bottom line. On to the next game.

   What we lacked all summer is set-up right now. Part of the reason: MJO is coming out of a very weak state into a slightly less weak phase 2 to 3. MJO spent a lot of time in the “inner circle” on the chart which means it was not a huge factor and didn’t help set up a ridge in places I thought it would. There are other players too but this was one of them.

   1. In terms of a ridge…were you originally thinking persistent Burmuda High for much of the summer?

      1. I thought we’d see a stronger one in August. We did not. It was much much weaker and further east for a while then extended west somewhat but never really built.

         Now we have one of the “right on top of us” ridges with a jet stream way north. This is actually not uncommon for late summer and even early autumn given our current set-up. It just seems more pronounced since we lacked it. This is still nothing like the ridge of September 1983. Oh boy. That was a ridge…

         1. Lived in Southie back in the early to mid 80s and had a loft apartment with a roof deck. I remember spending many evenings up on that deck in Sept of 83!!!

            1. I love the picture that paints in my minds eye

         2. This seems quite normal for me now

   2. If you have that written down, turn it into 93.7. This team has not scored a lot of points and a rookie came close to beating Brady at home for first time so they are asking for proof of anyone who expected 33 points. That said…Sure was a close game. I think the focus was a bit lost for reasons not typical and Brady had his sulky face on for a bit which is never good but he snapped out of it. I do not say this as an insult but with absolute understanding that is part of mind games greats play with themselves…part of the reason they are greats.

9. NWS San Juan recently tweeted a picture of their Doppler radar, the dome literally ripped off it with heavy damage to underlying components as well after Maria. That’s pretty insane. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a WSR-88D take that kind of damage from a storm. It’s literally ruined. They’re designed to withstand ~135mph wind with no problem. Apparently the San Juan radar is elevated, so it probably got into winds well above that threshold, maybe in the 150-180mph range. That certainly presents a safety hazard going forward… can’t exactly replace one of those radars overnight. Hopefully no more hurricanes for them this season.

   1. That is sad news. I was hoping they shut it down to protect it. Guess not.
      Very sorry to hear this.

10. Good morning all!

    Here is SAK’s latest.

    My update will be posted a bit later…

11. Thanks TK !

12. Thanks, TK.

13. Matt, I haven’t been on computer past few days. So sorry to hear of your loss. As I said on FB – I know the feeling to lose a pet. It really hurts.

    1. Thanks 🙂

14. This really isn’t fun school weather …….

    1. I should say NOT!!

       1. Back in my day, these HHH temps would have been long gone by now and I would have been wearing a light jacket to school.

          1. I remember plenty of very warm to hot days in September as a kid, and so do my older brothers. We were just more tolerant of it when we were younger. 🙂

15. For those who haven’t noticed, today is exactly 3 months until Christmas. 😉

    1. You had to do it, didn’t you? 😀

       1. 14 days until the earliest recorded BOSTON occurrence of
          SNOW!

          1. This one, JPD??? It formed on my mom’s birthday.

             1. Amount of money due to damage is interesting.

    2. I noticed 🙂 And I have already purchased my first Christmas gift.

       Halloween decorations are 3/4 complete and as I put them up, I’m planning ahead for my Christmas decorations !!!

       1. And I’m planning for my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! (of course there will be turkey, stuffing, gravy – all my comfort foods) Can hardly wait for that! 🙂

          1. Really? I was a bit afraid to say I’ve already started planning that. Good work, rainshine! Hallmark’s Christmas is coming up also!

16. Speaking of snow I can’t wait till we start tracking snow threats.
    TK does the almighty Almanac have any shot of being right with their cold and snowy winter along with their red flag dates of big snow potentials Jan 20-23rd Feb 4th – 7th Feb 16-19 Mar 1-3 Mar 20-23rd. I trust your crystal ball more than I do there’s.

    1. Are we talking about The Farmer’s Almanac or The Old Farmer’s Almanac? I haven’t seen either one yet.

17. Updating…

18. Very short update posted!
