National Coffee Day, & an Update on Rain/Storms Late Thu / Early Fri
Boring Weather…Until Thursday/Friday
We got this tweet this afternoon:
I’m hoping these dry-weather aided spiderwebs will catch the irritable wasp population we wrote about earlier this week.
Our last measureable (not a “trace”) rain occurred on September 11 (0.02″). For the month, we’ve seen 0.21″, which is 2.84″ less than a normal September. However, we’re still 0.31″ above normal for the year.
Very Little Rain Today
Three days ago, the major global weather models (and later, some of the regional models) predicted torrential rain for us today. We were, they said,
Regular readers of this website will notice that between then and now, the models have been taking that system that was “meant” for us, and sending it southeastward. Notice the frustration in the tone of this morning’s NWS forecast discussion, which I quote (Note: the NWS writes in ALL CAPS all the time, don’t read anything into that.

Today – Warming But Pleasant – High 81°

(3) Decide: “people might care about this,” then tweet:
