Consistent for ring of fire events w/ very high 1000-500 thk.

Fair play, but are the Orioles capable of doing anything positive?

Temp still low 80' so I assuming there is a bit of sbcape to play with along with mlcape

Lightning!!!!

Not very green. What ever happened to "tree-hugging?" LOL. Seriously, just b/c something is/may be popular, does not mean it is right or the best solution. You can't praise being green when you clear-cut trees on a large scale, as one example. Solar relies *only* on the virtue that sunlight is limitless and free, and treats that in a vacuum. It ignores the issues that do not make it effective alternative energy source for mass consumption (to say the least), like the enormous land required and how it destroys the ecology of that land, the amount of raw material needed, including precious metal demand that results in more strip mining, the limited lifespan (~25 years), the solar panel's vulnerability to the elements/wx, their disposal costs, and the simple fact the sun does not shine all the time. Every link the chain has to work effectively and practically for something to be affordable and reliable for a main energy source. This is a fact. "But it is CO2 free!" Yes, it is, but that single item does not make better overall when all things are considered. Everything has a cost/benefit ratio.

We got very little rain, just the light show and a few gusts.

Friday will roast

It’s like the scene in Close Encounters, at the farm house, when “they” take Barry.

There's some gaps in the line further south. I may end up getting split.

even DCA will get 78-79 a few times each summer. 80 once in a blue moon.

it is pretty gross out.

yeah once the bay water temp approaches 90F, we have some Gulf Coast-like micro-climates around here.

Yeah. It’s nuts

Meet tonight was rough. Had a fan, mister, and cooler to keep it tolerable. Despite drinking plenty of fluids still got a nasty headache to deal with for hours after. Morning practice is looking good be annoying with such high dew points and my costume of George Washington to get kids excited for our A-meet Friday.

Currently sitting at 84.3F at 11:45 pm!! LWX. Forecasted temps for next 3 days here in Baltimore county Downright brutal!!!

Severe aspect was not impressive, but it may have been the single greatest light show I’ve ever seen.

Big lightning spike to my west!!

Well lets be honest about this team- there are a lot of uncertainties at this point-unless you believe the Elias gaslighting lol.

I meant that the intent coming into this season was to contend --and signing Helsly was supposed to be THE move to secure our closer. Before the second half of last season he was dominant--so it should have been s good signing. This was just unlucky, imo And tbh...I'm not sure we have any closers in the making among the arms in the bullpen. For a little while I thought Garcia may be, but obviously his start was a fluke. And we are in a worse position now because we don't even know if Bautista will even pitch again...meaning we gotta find another closer.

Same. And wasting time bantering about the Orioles lol. Bring on training camp!

Yes, between the consistent gusty SSW wind and the smoke, it's the most uncomfortable fire weather in the Denver Metro since the Black Forest fire several years back. The Aspen Acres fire has doubled in size in 24 hours, now just shy of 48K acres per Watch Duty (which is an awesome website).

89/74. Temp has been slowly but steadily rising, especially after about 9:30 pm. Was as low as 84 shortly after sunset.

Nice first post. The Orioles signed Alonso with the idea that they would be in contention and he could be a piece to help put them over the top. As it turns out, that doesn't appear to be working out. He would have to be willing to be traded, but lets say he is. Maybe after being a member of the disastrous Mets last year, he now sees a similar situation here at this point. Given how disappointing the Orioles have been for the better part of 2 seasons, the lack of progression of several of their core players, and the likely prospect of losing some of them to FA in the next 2-3 years, why is this so far fetched? Trade a vet to a contender, dump some salary, get a couple good young players in return. Will it happen? Most likely not.
