Storms are approaching, but hopefully
warm enough to be rain rather than sleet or snow.
The precipitation won't get here before tomorrow.

Storm season here, as it is every spring/summer.

We had really good rain in November after a few dry months. The month was set to go out with a bang, storms, thunder, lightning, heavy rain, hail....the lot. What happened yesterday was a lot of sound and fury and very very little rain; in fact, the precipitation which fell could be counted in drops, never mind in mls or inches.

Meanwhile, down on the south coast they have had so much rain that it's flooding.

The waves at the shore sound
like slow breathing of the Earth.
The scent of the sea hints of fish
but the land near freezing is sleeping.

The trees and green have closed their eyes
The sky is becoming a rainbow of shades of grey
Winter grows cold while the sun is brief and old
Cuddling for warmth we're awake while half the world sleeps

Well, last Friday, when the road to our village was closed off due to works by Openreach and Anglian Water, we all had to take a long detour through Fustyweed and Elsing, which involved negotiating huge puddles and floods. It was a nightmare, because large, wide vehicles were taking this 'rat run' too and the little country lanes are winding. One edged round a bend only to meet head-on a cattle-feed truck or an oil tanker. We finally arrived at our bungalow in what Norfolk people call 'a roit stairt'!
But yesterday (Sunday) the sun shone, there was only a tiny breeze and NO RAIN!!! Hooray!!! And all the roads had dried off, plus no more Fustyweed - our village road was open again. Phew!

After our first snowfall, which melted quickly,
temperatures are into the 50's for a few more days
before they plunge back to the 40's.
One has to wear layers and adjust throughout the day/evening.

Well I don't know what you mean by "severe polar vortex." The biggest threat of severe cold in North America and Europe comes with a weaker stratospheric polar vortex. Incursions of warmer air from further south can disrupt the vortex and send large masses of arctic air plunging south to give very cold weather. If the vortex is strong it will maintain its circular flow around the pole and keep the cold arctic air confined, giving us mild winters. As I've said before, beware of rambling popular science articles. Not sure how far ahead these sudden stratospheric warming events, giving us very cold weather, can confidently be predicted.

Massachusetts had an odd experience during the last storm system.
On Saturday, the northern East Coast had heavy rains,
including the westernmost county, Berkshire county.
But to the east,
Boston got virtually no rain at all.

It's just lovely -- not hot and humid the way August usually is.

We're set for an Indian summer here too, sunshiny days until at least the early part of next week with temperatures in the mid-seventies in American money. Strictly speaking there should have been the first frost first, but we have to ignore that ruling here in Cornwall as our first frost is typically well into November or even as late as January. A warm spell around 18 October is sometimes called St Luke's summer, and, if around 11 November, St Martin's summer, after the respective feast days of those saints. But Indian summer cuts it for any nice weather after the equinox. Quiet weather in mid-October with a hint of air frost gives us our best autumn colours, not too frequent an occurrence round here these days.

Well so much for Storm Agnes. Down yer in Cornwall we were promised severe gales gusting to 70 mph, possible floods, trees down, the works. Yellow warning, wind and rain. It was dry, breezy and bright this morning and I had a nice trot round Bude Canal. The wind picked up to about force 7, definitely not a gale, and it rained quite hard for ten minutes at quarter past three. And now, at 3.40, the sun is beaming out and it's warm and breezy. Very nice.

We'll be looking at the sky today (with carefully chosen safety glasses) for the annular solar eclipse. We get about 80% coverage in this part of North Texas and the weather is cooperating. It peaks in about an hour.

The Texas State Meteorologist was just interviewed about upcoming weather, and it seems that there is a robust El Niño forming that will give late October through March more rain that is usual. Let's hope it is spread out enough to soak in and to fill the reservoirs, not fall so fast that it washes away down our rivers to the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf doesn't need repeated gushes of topsoil.

We're in the hottest September on record, following the hottest August on record. Today's high is forecast at 95, and the 10-day outlook has every day in the mid-90s. Don't be surprised if October is also a record-breaker.
