This is gross, but at least short-lived. Nothing beats the first week of October 2019.

Was at 88.9 on my weather station at about 3pm. Said the heat index was 96 at the time. WTH!!

My station is showing a feels like of 90. Yuck!

total and complete garbage

Usually when the POPS are 20% or less they leave it off the point and clicks. But they will include it in the SFT. Today had only 10s or 20s on the POPS on the SFT. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=OKX&product=SFT&format=CI&version=4&glossary=0

91 imby

my son had today off he went out around 10:15-perfect day for it. A little shower around 12:30 but nothing they couldn't play through

Damn shame. Hopefully we can sharpen up as we get closer to game time. A month or two from now would be prime for us here. Seasonably chilly day here with plenty of low level moisture.

Took until about 2:30, but sun and clouds now and upper 70s. Happy I golfed yesterday instead of today

Uh oh. October snow. Winter canceled? A little skeptical, but it’s still an area climatologically favored. Euro legacy has it too now. Ensembles don’t really bring it up here though.

Weird that Upton didn't mention-they had mostly sunny here all day

90 here south of ATL. To be honest, it doesn't feel that bad out, Humidity here is super low. I am enjoying the 50's at night, with upper 80's to 90 in the afternoon.

All the models had scattered showers and clouds today. The highs in many areas will probably be in the next hour. Seeing several 80° readings with the clearing in NJ now.

Thurmont, because of the downsloping off the Catoctins, stayed elevated from midnight onwards. Lowest temperature since midnight last night is 75F

This won’t be anything like that winter

Which is insane. I'm sorry, but the American League Championship Series should not be played during the day for any reason. If the weather sucks, postpone. People are paying thousands of dollars for a game that may not happen very often, especially for the two clubs in question. There should never be a scenario in which a chair is without an ass to fill it because work gets in the way.

@ineedsnowand @CoastalWx immediately rushed to see what *exactly* happened in SNE in 2000-01 winter!

The main issue China is having with renewable energy is that the transmission infrastructure hasn’t been able to keep pace. So much of the clean energy has gone unused. This has lead to the continuing reliance on coal. While AI data centers also utilize large amounts of electricity, it would be interesting to see if AI can eventually figure out a way to transition away from fossil fuels. We know that AI hasn’t been getting very good press lately due to the haphazard implementation. It would be ironic if AI could lead to the development of a new exotic clean energy source. Even a more effective way to manage wind and solar would be a welcome AI achievement. https://e360.yale.edu/digest/china-renewable-curtailments China is leading the world on renewable energy, last year installing more wind and solar capacity than every other country put together. But its buildout has unfolded at such a ferocious pace that China is now generating much more electricity than its power grid can handle, meaning that huge amounts of clean power are going unused. When the grid is at capacity, operators must reject electricity from wind and solar plants to prevent overloads and blackouts. In the first six months of this year, China rejected 360 terawatt-hours of clean energy, enough to power Mexico for a year, according to a report from Global Energy Monitor and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. “Had this electricity been absorbed, the additional power supply could have met all demand growth and allowed coal power generation to fall,” analysts said. The problem, analysts say, is that China lacks the transmission infrastructure necessary to ferry its abundant clean energy from where it is generated to where it is needed. Also stymying the consumption of clean energy is a policy that guarantees the purchase of electricity from newly built coal power plants. Despite a pledge to shift away from coal, China continues to permit and construct new generators. “Coal capacity is still growing because of legacy approvals and policy protections, even as plants run fewer hours and large volumes of clean electricity go unused,” said Qi Qin, an analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. The new report finds that China rejected 26.1 percent of its wind and solar output in the first half of this year, far more than official figures would suggest. Other countries with large amounts of renewable energy are also dealing with wasted power. In India, clean power capacity just surpassed fossil fuel capacity for the first time, but transmission infrastructure has yet to catch up. On a single day in March, India wasted 34 gigawatt-hours of clean electricity, enough to power about 5 million homes, according to an analysis from the think tank Ember. The core of the problem, analysts said, “is a growing mismatch between the pace of renewable energy development and the readiness of the transmission infrastructure.”

When we get the ultimate 'cane here, this will be the most popular video by far! @CoastalWx be like, "how can this happen?!"

Game 3 tomorrow was moved up from 6pm to 1pm to try and avoid some of the weather issues.

We just got power back on our street in Navarre. Many in our subdivision (one of the largest in the state) are not as fortunate. Places in the N part of Santa Rosa county will be waiting even longer. .

there was also a huge wreck on 95 in Niantic on the way so I went 82 to 2

yup, that's the one...lights came on, kids always love playing under the lights because it rarely happens, weather was awesome though, and my kid had a great couple games, not the best hitter but definitely one of the best defensive players.

Cimalore Field in Westerly? My backyard literally growing up.

It’s always been the theme…features look monstrous in the extended, only to come back to more normalized ideas as we close in.
