The Weather is Crazy

We're setting up for flash floods in Flag the next two days.

The hurricane remnants that were supposed to drench Tucson the last 18 hours with another 3 inches of rain didn't pan out. Got maybe another quarter inch only.

Mt Lemmon has received 37 inches of rain since June 15th, that's more than the average annual total for Seattle.

Ida’s remnants are fucking up the mid-Atlantic.

What’s going on in the Northeast right now is unprecedented.

Looks like New Yorkers don't know what a flash flood is and don't know to not drive in deep water.

It doesn’t flood like that in New York. The last time their weather was like this was Superstorm Sandy.

We had a Tornado warning here in CT.

It has been so wet all summer I have yet to water my lawn.

8 dead in NY/NJ.

Guess this is the new normal.

Absolutely beautiful, never seen the Catalina's that green. One very large elephant in the room....what happens late spring and early next Summer(or possibly the following Spring/Summer?). Very reminiscent of what happened a couple of winters ago with the big rains and massive desert weed blooms. Unfortunately some of those blooms turned into the Bush, Woodbury and Telegraph fires among many others. Me and a buddy even talked about the area around Superior 2 springs ago and said a massive fire would result. Well unfortunately forward thinking is apparently not a strong suit of us humans.
Hopefully some of those recent funds that were appropriated to wildfire prevention find their way into clearing at least some of these weeds out before disaster arises. Sorry to shit on such an awesome sight.

Yea as wonderful as this monsoon has been with so much needed rain...unless we have proper fire management and another 5-10 monsoons and winters with this much rain and snow...

If summer 2022 is like summer 2020 then we're in for a world of hurt with fires everywhere.

I don't think I posted it here, but I read an article about a recent study showing how in the west today's catastrophic fires blow right through managed areas because the drought is so bad that fuel reduction utterly fails to mitigate the firestorm. Thinned areas, old fire scars, prescribed burns ..... none of it matters if the fuels are super dry. Nothing slows down the fire.

The Forest Service recommended focusing on hardening buildings and saving lives because the rest is virtually hopeless.

Sorry, not a new study, just a rethink.

Yeah but what if we rake our forests and deserts?

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Fri Sep 03, 2021 11:34 am

My wettest dream is Trump on a work release program from prison raking the forests.

This is the coolest summer I can remember. Mostly 70-72 up here. My Plumeria plants have not bloomed yet and probably won't this year.

Are we done with the 100s?

Mid to low 90s the next 10 days.

30% chance of rain this weekend. Hopefully Tuesday night was not the end of the down pours. So many rain gauges in Tucson close to 20" in just 2 months time

I’d be down with that.

very mild, which generally means a hot september and october...

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Fri Sep 03, 2021 4:43 pm

If we are done with the hundreds that would be amazing. Would also be on track for one of the lowest totals of 100+ days in the last 40 years. Like bottom 5 or so. And the best majority came all in June. There's been almost as many days of highs in the 70-80s this summer in Tucson as 105+.

Jefe · Post by **Jefe** » Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:18 pm

I was wondering how many 100° days we've had. Maybe . . . 36? I could be way off haha

Last year we had 108

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:41 pm

I personally counted 42, 24 of which were in June.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:50 pm

Well its forecast to be 92-99 every day through September 17th in Tucson, so the 100s could be done. Still a good 4 weeks after that where they are still possible but less likely every day. So there might be another dozen days in the next 6 weeks where it gets in the upper 90s but 100s miiighttt be done.

Absolutely been dumping across most of town now for 40 minutes. Glad we're getting one last good storm since the forecast is for like 0-10% chance of rain for the next 2 weeks after today.

Yeah they completely changed the Forecast in like 2 days. Went from high 90's and rain chances this weekend to 105 and dry in the matter of 2 days(live up near CG). Bullshit.

The first 2 tailgates are always stupid hot

And yeah that Saturday storm was intense. Just finished golfing at Forty Niners and it started to hail chickpeas. Tanque Verde got shut down for about an hour.

Well that explains it, 71 during the day, 50s and rainy at night.

The world is back to normal.

I don't understand. I thought they live for like 2 days max. Where is there any standing water for their eggs to hatch from now.

Last hurrah of the monsoon I guess. Poured rain at my house for 20 mins starting at about 430.

U.P. Zona Fan · Post by **U.P. Zona Fan** » Mon Sep 20, 2021 5:48 pm

First hurrah of fall, poured for 20 min at about 4:30 here, well, where I was, my house didn't get any.

Supposed to drop 20 degrees and rain all day tomorrow.

I think that actually means the weather isn't crazy.?

And that airport total is less than what most of town got. At my house by the TMC I got probably 15 to 16 inches of rain and up by La encantada they got around 20 inches of rain

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:21 pm

Yea if it was measured almost anywhere besides the airport it'd be the wettest.
