Hard to believe it's been 20 years. One of the most intense weather events in SNE in my lifetime...12/9/05

Cold Moon

Couple of quick moving flurries in spots with the arctic front and then the cold pours in. Already in the 10s and 20s off to our NW...we should be in the 15-20F range by morning. Pretty good cold shot for early December #capecod #weather

The sun just set in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, for the season (71.29°N). It will rise again in 66 days (January 23rd). Good night. 🥱 @alaskawx.bsky.social

A lot of wind to contend with today and again tomorrow. Strong low pressure anchored to our northeast creating a tight pressure gradient across New England. Still breezy Tuesday but quieter mid-week as high pressure builds east

Cape Cod sure is beautiful this time of year. (Mayflower Beach in Dennis, Cold Storage Beach in North Truro, Nauset Marsh in Eastham, Nauset Light in Eastham)

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

One more because awesome. View from the Bay

Could watch this all night. #northernlights

This is great

Two years in a row

2.12” #rain in five hours in Centerville, #CapeCod #MA today. It was torrential! @1degreeoutside.com @capecodweather.net @efisherwx.bsky.social @metmike.bsky.social @wx1box.bsky.social

Downpours and some thunderstorms crossing the area. Some very heavy rain about to impact the Outer Cape

Good to have a competitive football team again

Rain overspreading the area...some downpours embedded in there and even some flashes of lightning / rumbles of thunder

Mild out there today...and we squeeze in another one tomorrow (though wet)... but much colder weather expected for the week ahead. Multiple days stuck in the 40s Tue-Sat

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!! Data provided by doi.org/10.24381/cds....

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Windy night coming up. Gusty from the SW this evening, then post-frontal NW winds after midnight. Atmosphere becomes well mixed overnight...tapping winds in the 950-900 mb layer (45-55 knots)... add in a good pressure rise...likely to be some 50 - 60 mph gusts. Particularly on the Outer Cape

Active weather pattern with a lot of wind. Next round comes tomorrow night / Thursday morning behind a rapidly deepening storm in the Gulf of Maine. Gusts 50-60+ mph likely... probably some tree/limb damage and scattered power outages to deal with

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Two big rain events in October...good drought-denting-month. CoCoRaHS observer totals for the period:

A friendly reminder that tonight we "fall back" one hour. While setting clocks that don't do it on their own, change your smoke detector & NOAA Weather Radio batteries too!

@capecodweather.net In #Pocasset, 1.97" of rain. Wind consistently around 20 MPH, gusts to 30. Mostly sunny right now.

1.7” in the rain gauge this morning in Eastham, MA. Sunny with a light breeze. #mawx @wx1box.bsky.social @capecodweather.net

While Hurricane Melissa will pass waaay out to sea to our SE, some of the system's tropical moisture will get dragged northward ahead of an approaching cold front Thursday and Thursday night, giving the rain a little extra boost. Some hefty downpours likely Thursday evening/night.

Hurricanes feed off of warm water. Watch how quickly the eye of #Melissa collapsed as it moved onto land and over the mountainous terrain of Jamaica, and how quickly it is reforming now that it has moved back over water! I will be adding this radar loop to my earth science lectures.

Wow. This is easily the most ridiculous dropsonde I’ve ever seen. 188 knot mean winds in the low-levels with gusts over 250 mph Absolutely scary and historic hurricane headed into SW Jamaica this morning

One of the most intense landfalling hurricanes anywhere in the world, ever. In mountainous terrain, on a populated island. I've had this feeling a handful of times in my career. As bad as it gets.

Cat 5 (175 mph peak winds) Hurricane Melissa is just a few hours from making landfall in Jamaica as its strongest storm on record. Storm is stronger than Katrina (at peak) and the strongest ever recorded in Atlantic so late in the season. More info: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Last month observed well above average temperatures around Hudson Bay (Canada). The last few seasons have observed a much longer ice-free season, so we'll have to keep an eye on this area as we approach this year's climatological freeze-up. Data from doi.org/10.24381/cds...

Yesterday’s sunny 65° prompted me to wade into the ocean #capecod #longbch despite 20mph wind gusts & take water temp: 62° near shoreline. Stayed til my toes were numb! @capecodweather.net @petermarteka.bsky.social @jimcantore.bsky.social @whoi.edu @capeproducer.bsky.social @capecodcom.bsky.social

Was pretty mild today (mid 60s) but a stretch of chilly weather coming up this weekend into early next week

"Preservationists' objections". We have to live in a simulation...the architects of which are working diligently hour-by-hour to see if they can just make the human brain explode.

I mean I hear you… but *nothing* captures attention. It’s over.

Few showers / downpours approaching the area from the south...damp first half of the day...better in the afternoon.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but… It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’ It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’ It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

@capecodweather.net @wbztv.bsky.social Early sunsets can also be Great. #Pocasset

Well, we hit the 5” mark in Eastham and went a bit over. I just emptied out the gauge so we can measure what is yet to come. #mawx Spotter #21-241 @wx1box.bsky.social @capecodweather.net

@capecodweather.net #Pocasset 4.37 inches of rain since Sunday morning. We needed the rain badly. Our annual rain total now 33.24 inches of rain. Noreaster is 13% of our 2025 total.

Latest rain gauge update: about 4.5” and pouring rain. Some thunder and lightning. #mawx Spotter #21-241 @wx1box.bsky.social @capecodweather.net

Now we’re up to about 2.70” in my Eastham rain gauge. Windy and drizzling aggressively. Spotter #21-241 #mawx @wx1box.bsky.social @capecodweather.net
