Dube! Bears win their 14th conjecture OT game.

The official report said 56.6, so it’s a tie for warmest.

Not seeing much heat the next 30 days. Wish we had this pattern in 6 months ago! Cool and wet for at least the next 3 weeks by the looks of it...

Not tonight. This may have been the first wishcast of the 2024 season. Just we need the rain so bad around here in Tampa Bay. Sometimes a tropical system will just "pop" up in a few hours surprising everybody in the Gulf. But not tonight.

Agreed…he nailed it!

This is amazing…I added it to my favorites. Time to root for low dew points & occasional breaks in the heat!

Very well done Sir! Great thread starter post!

Anyone have thoughts on cloud cover in litchfield ct tonight? I want to go out and take pictures but not sure if the clouds out to the west will dry up. It looks like they are on satellite. Just don’t want to lug all the gear out if it’s not gonna be worth it.

84 today at home. beautiful afternoon for the Mets game. Nice ceremony for strawberry

@mahantango#1 probably the best introduction to a new thread. Well done!

Yep. My saying is 'a day above 80 is a waste', NO WAY I'd live in a place like that. It is bad enough here 6-7 months of the year. EDIT- the 77.4 high today makes 5 straight 'good' days

High today was 82. Starting to see a few brown areas around the area.

First day of met summer and I just saw my first lightning bug of the season. Topped out at 84F today.

Snow whitened the ground in Cleveland OH and Rochester NY. (David Ludlum) 1903 - A strong tornado just 50 to 75 yards in width killed many persons around the Gainesville GA Cotton Mill. The tornado strengthened and widened near the end of its four mile path, killing 40 persons at New Holland GA. A total of 104 persons were killed in the tornado.

(Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1999: A tornado with an intermittent damage path destroyed 200 homes, businesses, and other buildings in the southern portion of St. James, Missouri. Of these, 33 homes were destroyed along with the St. James Golf Course clubhouse and two Missouri Department of Transportation buildings. The tornado then moved east, south of the downtown St. James area and intensified. F2 to F3 damage occurred with a 200 to 300-yard damage path. Several homes and farm buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. Further north, severe thunderstorms produced many tornadoes around central Illinois.

The Mattoon area also reported flooding from these storms, producing $3 million dollars in damage.

Today we were at Arlington National Cemetery burying my wife’s grandmother. I won’t dox myself but our grandparents and great grandparent are about 30 yards from Abner in Section 1 so it’s always nice saying hi to him.

Nice near 80 day here today (and yesterday and probably tomorrow). Heading to my grandson’s graduation midweek-should be 100+ 50 miles east of SFO. Quick trip to be able to get back in time to teach my class Friday afternoon.

84 for the high here.

After spending the week in AZ for work where it was 105, this weather feels amazing. I honestly don’t know how anyone can live out there. Dry heat, my ass. It’s still hot. I basically went through a tube of chap stick and drank 500 gallons of water a day.
