Ida remnants blew through here as a few thundershowers and some steamy tropical warmth. Humidex 31 F but that is not bad when it's overcast and showery. I believe they got some heavier rain in central NL but still, it's a wee pittance compared to what the eastern US got!

From Ida we got about 10 minutes of heavy wind and blowing rain along with 3/10" of rain. 2 hours west of us Atlanta got more.

However a front has come through with cooler air. It's wonderful to have 80's instead of 90's! It was actually 56 yesterday morning when I woke up. All windows had been opened so it was great sleeping weather. One more day of this before a few more 90's come in. I think summer's back has been broken.

Looks like we're going to be taking a direct hit from Hurricane Larry on Friday night.

67 degrees out there this morning. Fall is in the air. Summer gives up slowly here, but the first retreat has happened.

Got an unexpected 0.8" of rain late yesterday afternoon from one of those popup storms. Today we're getting rain coming through now and then, from moisture coming up from Florida. I just heard that the weather mess headed for Florida's panhandle and Big Bend area now has a name; TS Mindy. She's moving quick at 21 mph and will scoot over north Florida/south Georgia on her way out to sea. Maybe we'll get some sloppy seconds up here as we can use more rain.

The tropical systems that get served up here as seconds are generally.... lovely. A burst of warmth in the cooling days of fall. Wind and rain are nothing unusual but when they're warm it's actually pretty nice. I have very fond memories of deep fall days with warm damp winds.
Direct hits are not as much fun, for sure. But we also get hurricane force winds in winter storms. It's a windy place, generally, or statistically one of the windiest inhabited places on earth. Pretty normal high winds. On the upper end, Cat 1 winds are nasty enough, but we have never faced anything like a cat 4. Most everything here is built to withstand the average high winds, but there will be damage, outages etc at the cat 1 level. So this week is pretty much devoted to getting ready. Hurricane aftermath picnic. :)

Every time I think of Newfoundland, I think of how in the book The Shipping News, their house had to be strapped down with giant cables and eventually blew out to sea anyway. Pretty much 99% of what I know about Newfoundland came from that book, which is a problem since it's a work of fiction.

106F two days this past week. Looking forward to a week with highs “only” in the low 90s.

Finally, a nice day again! Yesterday was super humid, so much, that I kept the AC on, just to keep the humidity out. Today, it dropped with the temp overnight, and was only 64° when I got up, and is still in the 60s - the dew was lifting around 8:30, and it's almost totally gone now.

Sunny day here with a nice breeze, humidex up to 82 F, but pretty much what anyone would consider a lovely summer day, no different from the other hot days this summer. Makes me think about, what on earth would it be like without a weather forecast. You'd never say from the day it is, that a hurricane was about to strike. Or you could say, well breezy and humid weather is the 'tell', but then you'd be battening your hatches half the days this summer. In the days before forecasts, they just wouldn't know.

I'm good, thanks! It was a pretty bad one by local standards with 160 kph winds at landfall, and there are lots of damages and power outages all across the Avalon, but mine was only out for 3 hours while I was 'asleep'. Internet was out but now restored. Not one tree fell here, nothing across my lane that I can see. Only the pea trellises got flattened. :) Glad to be on the northern side.

Good news on Larry not doing too much damage. Better when those storms don’t linger.

Here, it’s clear and 64 F, 18C out there this morning. Doesn’t sound like much to someone in the northern tier, but for September 11th around these parts that’s real nice. Dew point 61.

But, as I understand it the tropics are about to reassert themselves here in a big way, with a tropical storm forecast to form out in the GOM soon and then move up and hug the Texas coast. Some models place 20 inches of rain Monday-Wednesday, 50 cm, somewhere between Corpus and Beaumont. I’m somewhere between those two places and 20 inches of rain in that time frame is bad.
