1.19” so far! .

Yup! I loved my 2014, so I wanted my next car to be an Accord too.

OT but heard this on AM radio today. banger with the sax. minor hit

Checking in with a beer. We've got our bases covered in here tonight.

There are flash flood warnings just west of Bertha's position right now, for 3-5 inches of life-giving rain! Maybe Bertha will get just east of Buda and gift me with 5 inches of flood-provoking rain!! The El Nino is getting so monstrous that I am really looking forward to this autumn and winter with incredible amounts of rain!!!! That subtropical jet is gonnabe LOADED with quintillions of tons of tropical moisture! The title to the Nino on the main sub on this board should be changed to 2026-2017 Brobdingnagian El Nino. We have never seen a Nino like this since this globe cooled. This is NOT a Super Nino. It's well beyond that now, this thing is an all-time historic monster.

There have been a few but it does seem to be noticeably quieter.

And leave out conditions have improved in the last week in SNE. And in the large pix, I find it hard to believe that srn RI and SE MA are still svr drought conditions given the 8-11" of rain in the past 3 weeks (the way the drought conditions are calculated I have long have issues w/ despite how it isn't just about rainfall). Although the cut off day of 7/21 at 8am missed the big rains the following 24 hr, the post could have said how it has improved just in the last 48 hr which the map did not account for. Omission of facts to promote a particular narrative or prevent deflating hype! And really, how much of daily routine life has been impacted for the general public b/c we have had drought conditions for awhile? Yes, there are some impacts but nothing that we can't handle/absorb and have done so for a very long time. The way the MSM pushes drought often you'd think it is debilitating issue and our water supply is running out!

Ah yes, "Heavy Snow Threat" in Orlando. Thanks, AI slop.

Flash flood warning for Asheville.

Keep those troughs coming!

Let's not forget....I LOVE Fall. So as much as I love winter, not yearning yet. However, July 5th starts my annual "bring on Fall" attitude.

Cigar on the porch, what a night. My Tropo precip gauge came today so that should usher in the next phase of drought.

I believe that was Billy Martin's 1st day as manager of the Yankees.

As if what happened last August has *any* relevance or influence on what this August will be like? Useless filler statement in the context of forecasting. This would be like saying, "recall last winter CoastalWx has two 20"+ snowstorms in Weymouth..." for this upcoming winter fcst. And not to leave out Wxwiz, for July 10 any year that has a tor risk on this day, "recall on July 10, 1989 we had 17 tors in the NEUS for its biggest outbreak on record!"

How much did it set you back to fill up your truck with freedom fuel today?

Sunset from Nicky’s on the bay in bay shore. Top ten day weather wise.

Longtime inside joke here

Enter August 2, 1975!

Odd statements like this that you would say, "no one ever says that!" or "says it that way!" are a red flag for AI-generated content. I've seen it many times in wx posts already on various social media platforms. One was talking about tornadoes and it said, "F5-class." First, not using the EF-scale is a red flag, and second, no one ever says "F5-class" for a pre-2007 tornado rating. We say, "F5-rated" or "rated F5"! In narration, it can sound great and getting all its facts correct, but you get thrown off whenever you hear a mispronounced word from AI not knowing usage context. Like "lead" or "wound." It stands out so much and it takes you out of the listening/learning part, and you immediately go, "AI SLOP!"

Ive never been a fan of using 30 years "blocks" for determining " normal". I'd much prefer the entire dataset for a site be used.

ACATT will stop at nothing to prove their agendas . And I’m as far right as it gets

The door swings both ways, and neither far end is good! If one is going to cover wx for a big audience, state things objectively and try not to let personal bias sway you. Sadly, this position is harder and harder to find these days. And the most devious things about it is that some know better, are on the level, yet are well-aware that instigating conflict and divide w/ endless speculation, conjecture, and hedging is an easy way to get attention and monetize, so they disingenuously take this route. Some are more subtle than others. Look at the rhetoric and most importantly, how things are over time.

There’s posters here ( ACATT) as an example .. that think this is chilly and below normal and that the month of July is and will finish BN. It’s hard to understand or fathom , but just look at their posts

Definitely not the monsoon that was hyped coming into the week. Hopefully next week is better
