If I end up high and dry up here this winter I'll lose it. Blizzards or bust. 3 years of trying to hype 1 inch snows is enough. Loser. |

Disappointing. After all the buildup about how much rain we were supposed to get starting last Saturday I got enough to settle the dust. Got enough to wet the pavement today. You guys just can't win out that way...STC has been a void with several of these rainfall events. We've gotten well over an inch total since Saturday here. |

.74" yesterday at KFAM, 1.02" past 72 hours. It's been weird here. One day last week, we barely got enough rain to settle the dust at home (Knob Lick) and at my workplace 10 miles south, we had enough to fill the ditch in front of the building and the wind blew so hard that it blew rain under a seam in our metal roofing and caused leaks in a couple of offices. |

Thanks for posting this coverage! We are going to Bellerive on Wednesday for the last practice day and seems we will be in the middle of the transition from iffy to great weather for the actual tournament. Keeping our fingers crossed. |

Glad I held to my guns and carried spot thundershowers for today. Have had them in since Monday...
I am also adding spot storms to Sunday. Models show a trackable shortwave moving through the ridge.. should be enough to get things moving.

I wasn't home when it "rained". If in fact it did. My gauge shows zip. It poured for about 5 minutes in Rock Hill along with some lightning and thunder.

A potentially interesting period on tap for the tropical Central/Eastern Pacific basin. First, the GFS really wants to plow Hurricane Hector into Hawaii. And then further east it develops (somehow!?) a midget hurricane on the periphery of a monster hurricane that eventually gets absorbed into the latter.

FYI, the COD satellite site just added some GOES-16 derived product overlays (PW, CAPE, rain rate, smoke, etc.). And in case you hadn't already seen GOES-16 GLM (Global Lightning Mapper) flashes has been an overlay for a little while now already. Be sure to check that stuff out; it's pretty cool.

Good Lord. This is crazy. An Ef-3 Firenado. NWS Sacramento Verified account @nwssacramento 9h9 hours ago More The NWS & @cal_FIRE Serious Accident Review Team (SART) are conducting a storm damage survey regarding the large fire whirl that occurred Thursday evening in Redding. Preliminary indicators placed max wind speeds achieved by the fire whirl in excess of 143 mph. #cawx #CarrFire Attachment Deleted |

Another quick hit of rain that was enough to wet the street but not enough to make a puddle. A couple of rumbles of thunder quoting Shakespeare “signifying nothing.“ |

I'm probably looking right at it but can't find the GLM display. In other words I give up! |

Click the little globe icon in the upper left corner of the image pane (below the ? icon). Then select the GOES-16 Derived tab of the selection pane that pops up at the bottom of the image pane. There you can find GLM flashes and other GOES-16 overlay types.

Thanks!

Looks like some decent rain chances Monday through early Wed. Then a massive ridge builds into the northern plains. Hopefully it never translates east. At least its August...I'm already craving those cool autumn mornings.

At least its August...I'm already craving those cool autumn mornings. Another pretty good signal for the ridge to retrograde and expand into the Great Basin later next week allowing the NW flow to take hold around here again...albeit not as amplified or cool looking. The GFS actually has a weak upper low drifting through somewhat similar to what happened this past week. So there's really no oppressive heat in sight, although mid-90s is hot enough to be miserable by my standards. I'm ready for fall too... |
