It's just a total shame that a lot of people still don't heed flash flood warnings like tornado warnings. Especially when in a low-lying area or near a river as both were the case with the Kerrville area flooding. And it's not like this has never happened before in recent years. I honestly thought that after what happened in Wimberley area back in spring 2015, and 2017's Hurricane Harvey remnant Low stalled for days in SETX, people around the state would've at least learned to be a bit more mindful of what flooding and 'excessive rainfall' actually is. Especially anything that's tropical as the culprit of the Kerrville area flooding was also a remnant Low of what was TS Barry that made landfall in Mex from the SW Gulf last weekend (NWS Austin/San Antonio office mentioned this in AFD last week). Even an Accuweather meteorologist pointed out twice on air that FF warnings were issued by NWS, several hours before the flood waters even escalated in the county. So I definitely think more than 50% of whatever the death toll ultimately is in the coming days could have easily been prevented.

Ratio of “thunderstorm chances” in the forecast to anything of note actually happening has been abysmal for a long time now here. Desperately need a Wisconsin MCS charging across the lake. Any time now. This afternoon popup garbage avoids GRR every single time. Trash climatology getting worse.

They need to just replace the mt holly radar at this point

OK folks. We actually sighted the Sun today. We ALMOST hit 90. Hardly any rain, getting all excited about Monday, SUN WITH EGYPT-LIKE SUMMER CONDITIONS! Man I'll go out and jebwalk, pretend to be looking for hieroglyphic inscriptions at Amarna! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOKED! Then my heart was shattered by the latest from NWS.

This, is definitely NOT enjoyable. We are stuck in this nightmarish RUT, with no way out. ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME? The radar returns are evaporating! Drier air is advecting in right now at the mid levels! I was all excited about pretending to be Indiana Jones' Dad looking for the Holy Grail in old Egypt! This weather system is like a damned BROKEN RECORD! It just keeps on going, and going, and going! I can't BELIEVE this shoosh! The moisture is GONE! There is NO MORE LIFT! Someone at the National Weather Service is obsessed with this damned storm! GET OVER THIS ALREADY! It's high time to forecast 900dm upper ridge over Buda, for the next nine months, La Nina in place with highs in the lower to middle 110s, NO RAIN AT ALL and blistering Egypt-like sun blasting Amarna Buda with fiery heat! I'll be out there dusting off relics and pretending I am archeologisting in the hot countryside at Amarna!

You do realize that NOAA/NWS has always had geographic differences for criteria of advisories, watches and warnings of all different types? There are differing criteria for cold temperatures, frost/freeze, snow, etc as well. Here you are 100% correct in stating facts about temps in those other locations yet 100% wrong in your assessment as to why they did not receive advisories and we did... EDIT: Looks like several others have also brought up this point.

I play there when I'm up in York, I like the course. It is hard.

It's the worst weather disaster we've had in MANY years, flooding can be really deadly. Sometimes I wish that they would just dam up rivers that are prone to this kind of flooding.

Looks like Tuesday might be our next shot at widespread 90 degrees, Tony??

wow that sounds much like our March 2010 noreaster when we had 80 mph winds!!

Do you think it will be like last Thursday was??

They’ll also have snow advisories when we don’t.

Newark an outlier. However it is in the hottest part of our region.

Thank you!

Per NWS Each National Weather Service Forecast Office issues some or all of the following heat-related products as conditions warrant. NWS local offices often collaborate with local partners to determine when an alert should be issued for a local area. For instance, residents of Florida are much more prepared for 90°F+ weather than residents in Alaska.

Some places west of Raleigh have seen nearly 1 foot of rain! Forecast was for amounts of 1-4” with isolated totals of 6”. Per RadarScope I’m seeing widespread 5+” totals with several areas more than double that.

Considering what it’s doing to the polar Arctic region up there… I don’t think it’s a hell of a lot better

Highs: EWR: 95 TEB: 91 LGA: 90 New Brnswck: 90 PHL: 90 TTN: 88 NYC: 87 JFK: 86 BLM: 86 ACY: 86 ISP: 85

I think they actually base it off anomalies. Average temperature in Indianapolis is higher than Boston hence...

More misleading nonsense. Regarding the Tokyo data, you know something’s up when there’s a graph from Tony Heller’s wife limited to 1994-2021. You can pull up the raw data for Tokyo from JMA. There is, in fact, an inhomogeneity flagged in December 2014, consistent with the inflection point in this small subset of data. So the bias correction appears to be correct. Moreover, the long-term trend is actually greatly reduced by the UHI correction. That’s why nothing before 1994 is shown there. Further, the two warmest years in the raw data are the last two years (even without correcting for the change that occurred in 2014). 2025 appears well on its way to approaching those highs.
