It really has been interesting to follow more closely over the last 5 years how things have progressed. Im not ready to say the ITCZ is further north permanently or to be so going forward due to the warmer subtropics, as we had discussed about last season. It is noticeable of a change in overall TC behavior and numbers have changed a lot over the basins over the last half century or more. Colorado State keeps a pretty solid track of key things over each basin. https://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northwestpacific The bolded has pretty been the most notable change we have seen associated with the changing of climate. I would like to make a similar timeframe for ENSO and PDO to each basin to see how years were effected more so than others.

Rooftops are usually like driveways, much hotter than the grass surfaces.

It is clearing up and the radar is dissolving into nothingness! We are in the clear! I want 90s and sunshine tomorrow! Should be perfectly dry and hot into Hallowe'en! Gotta WUB south central Texas!!!!!!!!!!! We do NOT have rain in Texas in summer. We get treated to 106 degrees, Egypt-like sunshine and heat indices near 120! Not one cloud! Rain be GONE! It's SUMMER now!

High of 79F up here today. Dews in the 50s for the most part but rising throughout the day to 60F this evening. A perfect summer day.

The next 10 days sure did go downhill. I'm so ready for the drought to return. Steamy, cloudy and swampy with rain and storms every day. Ugh

Sweatshirt weather in July

True. Here's the burl

That one was very straight for a black locust.

Kind of a leaner though anyway. I'll sleep well thinking about trying to mill that tension wood.

That's why I asked, hate to see a beautiful locust like that go for firewood

Firewood. Kind of a waste. Gave a big burl to a guy the other day though. Can't wait to see what he does with it.

Johnsered is a good saw.

Are you selling these to a mill? Or what?

No words to describe the horrific flooding. My thoughts for all those who have lost loved ones.

Boy that coming along real nice! Nice work!

Yup, bigger saw then my old 14" Johnsered saw lol, you are a pro!

It just got noticeably more humid here in the last hour or so. Was there some kind of invisible boundary that just passed through? Crazy how quickly things can change with a sudden wind shift. Those damn flies are popping up everywhere too!

I am hearing the death toll might be north of 200 in Texas. The river rose 30 feet in less than an hour - rising 1” every six seconds for a period of time.

My lawn that gets the most sun is burned, won't have to cut that area for a while.

I was 15 feet up painting a shutter one day and two bats flew out, I almost fell off the ladder. No stings just a heart attack.

Yup

Historic for the most mysterious wx curio! Lasts so long and the extreme brightness it gives off to the ground below it, wow!! I was befuddled as to why there were no good ball lightning videos in existence even with all the phones, security cams, ring doorbells, etc.

As expected the Iowa stuff is breaking up as it moves into IL. The outflow has cooled it off nicely though.

I ripped out a rotted window sill once that had a yellow jacket nest in it. I was like 25ft up on a ladder and took a half dozen stings to my face. My face swelled up so much I could barely see for a day or 2.
