Terribly sad about the flooding. My best friends brother, Bill Huston, is one of the missing people.

Not bad outside at all, looking forward to tomorrow!

The situation in Texas is so sad. I’ve had my own daughter away at a camp in recent weeks and can’t even imagine what those parents are going through

Table of forecasts for July 2025 (not sure what happened to BKViking, I sent them a reminder which they acknowledged, but then no forecast ... anyway, here's what the rest of you predicted ...)

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
