Jeeze this rain is apocalyptic. Its crazy downpours everyday some days longer than others. Trees are so full and it looks like Amazon here. Trees are breaking purely due to the weight of the rain on the mammoth leaves. I think we must have had at least a foot of rain over past several weeks. All I can say is I need several dry days as I need to move things to my storage and cannot do so with these unpredictable tropical downpours.

The stream on my property has started rising. It is about 6 inches high and four feet wide. This rain can make it 30 feet wide and five feet deep. Then it runs. About four inches here today. Still raining.

I'll have some new content posted for you all in the morning to hopefully spur some discussion!!

It's a two-parter: First part is a brief and basic overview of some of the meteorology behind what set off our recent rain event, and the second is a discussion on where I think we see pattern head in the coming weeks.

Ok, gang, here are are my latest discussions. Again, Part 1 is a brief, slightly technical discussion of what led to the rainfall yesterday. I intended it to serve as an easy discussion for those not as well-versed with meteorology, but provide some explanation of some of the main technical aspects that helped the event to occur.

Part 2 is a bit more technical and goes over where I think the pattern is headed in coming weeks.

Hope you all enjoy them, and hopefully it sparks some interesting discussion!! Any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to post them, and I'll do my best to respond! Thanks, everybody!!

I'll put my order in for tons of sun, mid 80's, and low humidity week of the 18th - LBI bound, but don't worry Jman, with my luck we will be staring down a Cat 2 that week I'm sure lol!

Shoot, Radz!! What part of the island??? My grandparents live in Beach Haven and I'll be going down the following week (of course -_-) lmao

Beach Haven as well Rb, love that part of the island! Centre St. to be exact... i'm a Chicken or the Egg frequent flier Smile

I'll be in LBI next week as well! Peahala Park near the Acme. Radz, look for me at the Chicken or the Egg. I'll be the guy with the orange Frisbee Pie Company hat Smile If not there, then at the Crust & Crumb. Yum!!!

Let's hope for some better weather next week!

Seriously? That must been one heck of a localized storm cuz there was nada here in yonkers. You sure? Theres no way that couldnt be seen only a few miles from you.

On a side note a huge tree came down and took down a pole and a few cars, power is out and midland ave is closed from yonkers ave to mclean ave, its a mess will likely be closed tomorrow too. the ground is getting so wet and leaves so heavy normal trees with no wind are falling, not good.

CENTRE STREET?!!!! DUDE!!! THAT PRACTICALLY MAKES US NEIGHBORS!! HAHAHA My grandparents are block away from Holyoke, so only about 10-15 blocks from you lmao The fact that you called it by its full name and not the Chegg means you don't fly frequently *ENOUGH* ahahaha As for you, Pete, I know that area too!! I had a girlfriend (female friend - not to be confused with today's definition of girlfriend, so don't be getting any wise ideas lmao) that stayed three blocks north of the Acme haha What a small world!!!

A couple of technical edits: 1. The Niño region I reference is actually 1.2, not 4.2. Any tropical development that might occur during the target period does not necessarily have to come from the trough split I talk about; it could also come from the Tropics. My point is that it would be something that is very innocuous until it reaches the region I highlighted....in closer to the U.S.

Heavy rain yesterday and for a half hour, it came down in sheets with the sun shining all through it. After Fri into Sat rains, I too will start wondering about the stability of trees. I expect today and tomorrow to dry things out a bit but right now my grass is starting feel like walking on a waterbed.
