The current (29/0100 UTC) NBM probabilistic rainfall forecast for Erie, CO for the next three days has one of the weirdest distributions I can recall seeing, particularly between the 25th and 50th percentiles: 10th %: nothing 25th %: nothing 50th %: 1.22” 75th %: 2.12” 90th %: 4.13” #COwx

My goodness, what an incredible moment. After Justin Verlander secured the final out of his career, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch came out of the dugout...to summon Verlander's daughter out to embrace her dad on the mound.

Just noticed that this week’s Drought Monitor moved portions of the northern Denver metro area into the D4 Exceptional Drought category. It’s exactly where I would’ve expected it - and I’m smack dab in its center. Sigh.

I think just about everyone in the metro area except me is going to get rain today, ensuring that we don’t finally cross the 3” mark since June 1st. It’s almost comical at this point.

Silver lining: the turnover on the final play of the game made FSU’s turnover margin only +3, meaning that stat ESPN showed (teams were 40-1 last year with a +4 TO margin) became irrelevant. If I’m going to start the workweek on low sleep, at least I only have to go into work 4 days this week.

Sam’s post prompted me to look up the track verification stats for Lowell - and sheesh, Google DeepMind (GDMI)…
Left: track forecast errors for Hurricane Lowell, right: track forecast improvement vs. a no-skill baseline for Hurricane Lowell. Both tell the same story: Google DeepMind’s forecast has been vastly superior to those of NOAA’s operational models and the NHC official forecast.
