What's your weather?

Another hot day.

We had hmaria's weather a few days back. It was hot all day on Tuesday and Wednesday, but without much warning, thunderstorms rolled in after dinner with heavy downpours, thunder, and lightning. After about an hour the weather was back to normal. Sudden thunderstorms are a tropical feature, so this might be another harbinger of climate change.

Our weather 90 miles to the south and west was the same. A bit less steam-bathy this morning, but already 90 and counting.

Hot and smoky. Everyone's favourite.

This should be on the 1st World Problems thread, too.

This morning, it rained (sprinkled) just enough for me to decide to NOT water my lawn, before I left the house. Upon returning home, I realized that it was barely a sprinkle that fell on my lawn, so my dry lawn got scorched for yet another day.

Unusual weather update:

That makes thunder-and-lightning strikes three days in a row despite the morning forecasts calling for sunny days.

Yikes, Langue_doc!! That sounds very frightening, to have it just come up on those folks like that.

We are also having thunder and lightning, but nothing that extreme.  Very rainy, though, and some localized flooding and some evacuations in lower-lying areas.

It drizzled at the end of my walk.

It got drippy-sounding outside as I finished my breakfast.

It thundered briefly when I opened the laptop and started working.

Then a flash-flood-and-tornado warning flashed up on my screen.

The flooding won't start for a few more hours, there's a lot of upstream to fill up first,zand I'm far enough from the stream it won't be a problem.

The tornado (radar spotted rotation) is heading upshore to the north, predicting waterspouts for small craft near the shore.

All that from a little drizzle...

Heavy rain on and off and a region wide tornado watch yesterday

Tornados so close to the coast are WEIRD.

Not s'posd t'happen....

We've had a week of rain almost every day.  Some days it has rained for hours on end.  No destructive storms or flooding, though.

[hmaria1609]

Heavy rain and flooding throughout the region. Lots of down trees and sections of roads under water.

Yesterday, tornados, tomorrow hurricanes.

In between, heat and drizzle.

Never a dull moment!

Bracing for Hurricane Henri which arrives tomorrow.

The National Weather Service's tropical storm warning contains a long list including the one below:

THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 58
to 73 mph

Seeing similar warnings; I did all the necessary errands this AM, but there was not a huge rush in the two stores I went to for supplies, so maybe peope are being more sane about it.

I remember when Hurricane Gloria came, though.

I'd never seen a complete line of shelves (the bread section) empty from one end to the other in a large supermarket before.

And I hadn't even thought about flashlight batteries. Three stores were sold out, I gave up (fortunately we didn't lose electricity).

I saw a news alert about Henri heading towards southern New England earlier today.  For those are in the region, stay safe and dry!
