The Euro precip forecast is a little wetter than the GFS forecast for next week but I will take either of them!

Got the leaves off the yard…
Bring the rain.

FYI… this tree in the yard has three types of leaves, some flowers with attracts several species of bees and wasps, and some seeds. It really is a pita that does its giving starting in May and doesn’t end until October. Oh…and it’s a gutter and downspout clogger if not proactive.

Sassafras?

Sassafras?

Yeah “three types of leaves” has me stumped.
Cottonwoods can have different leaf shapes, but not usually on the same plant, more that the young ones do some weird stuff.
Other than that kinda sounds like my neighbor’s river birches.

Only tree I know around these parts that has all those 'attributes'...there's probably others.

I like 'em myself, good fall color, roots...root beer and syrups....but I don't have one.

Raining here in the Central Penna. mountain valleys. Wish there was a,way to reverse this and send it back out to you guys.

Some extraordinary monsoons in southern Utah and northern Arizona. Massive flooding of Bright Angel Creek (2 dead and 15 missing) in Grand Canyon National Park and around Zion National Park. Monsoon flash floods are normal in that area, but these seem atypical. I wonder if that's the super El Nino kicking in?

Per Wikipedia, the five most powerful El Niño events in recorded history are the warming cycles of 1877–1878, 2015–2016, 1997–1998, 1982–1983, and 2023–2024 (referenced in the video). The 2023–2024 El Niño was regarded as the fifth-most powerful El Niño.
2026-2027 is going to be a RONI Very Strong El Niño event .

A little over 1in of rain expected in Roseburg tomorrow. Been a really long dry spell here.

Hope some (not the part that kills people) of that gets to New Mexico soon. My mom says Santa Fe is still pretty dry.

Meanwhile, round here, Fall starts tomorrow. Western WA has weathered this El Nino relatively unscathed so far. Doesn't mean the ocean isn't all kinds of screwed up, and we will likely see the effects here next year and beyond, but this fall is shaping up to be a good salmon season. Make the most of it!

The big wet spell might bring in the SRC to the coastal streams. Might have to plan a trip.
