All these extreme heat forecast are going to go up in smoke today!

Given the nowcast nature of these and the boundary set forth by the initial storms...definitely might want to watch the areas west of where SPC highlights. Just has that look/feel.

Farther south at Central Park, Dec 2015 average temp would've been 2.7° AN - for November. The 50.8° average was 6.2° warmer than any other NYC December since records began in 1869, a stand-alone gap that had to be many SDs ahead of the #2 mark.

Supposed to be quite breezy. Not sure if that will help

Lets level Maine and Stein here per 12z hrrr.

Wildfire season well under way in NA.

Getting tested takes a short amount of time. Around the 4th of July 2025 I was bitten by "something" on the back of my right leg. By pure chance I touched the back of my leg and it felt sore...I had my wife take a look and she told me there was about a 3 inch area of redness. I knew instantly it was cellulitis. I went to a walk in center and I was on antibiotics within 2 hours. I did ask the doctor on the 1-10 scale what was the level of the cellulitis and she said it was a 3...then she added that cellulitis can quickly progress and it is good you came in.. Do yourself a favor...get seen today ASAP by a medical professional..early treatment is always the best treatment..

We've had 10% hatched before but this is the first time with the CIG additions which only became operational some months ago

First of all LOL. I hear you on the bold. I'd also suggest experimentally cutting out all processed sugar and all process carbs. Go abruptly and strictly keto - not intending to keto diet, per se...it's just that you'll coincidentally end up in that area. A bit long. If you are tl;dr types, "go swipe yourselves" I backed into this accidental solution/panacea for a life-long ... seemingly unresolvable Middle-east conflict resolution that raged in my skull for the last 5,000 years of never finding peace. Yes ... it was so bad, that I must have had these before I was born! Lol. anyway, this may not work for everyone. Understood. I had done enough research over the years to submit a legit master's level dissertation in the physiology of cortical abnormalities science... Half of which resulted in female hormonal imbalances - which believe it or not ... males are 100% escaped from consideration despite clickety-clackin' balls, just exceptionally rare. Excluding those, diet and stresses are main correlations in the inter-quartile density of the suffering bell-curve males. Within that window - unfortunately ... - there is no one size fits all. However, "high fructose corn syrup" is, believe it not, specifically isolated in the science of triggers in males and females, regardless. There are others there, too. I'm clearly talking about 3 subjects concurrently in that paragraph so I'm sure I've lost the reader. Short version, I was borderline diabetic 2 years ago and it freak the shit out of me, because my mother ... who sadly was a walking bag of morbidity issues in the last 20 years of life ( so we're lucky we got her to 78 ), died around then in part complications from poorly managed Type-2. My thing was that I was doing an experimental carb loading diet, because was attempting to add power lifting to my normal workout routines ... a range of motion that my shape ( more on the lanky side) isn't very natively responsive too. It didn't help my weight lifting. It only fucked up my blood numbers. I was pretty confident that all I had to do was go back to the other life-style and it would correct... I mean I wasn't redic in the numbers. A1c was the metric that made the Dr. immediately flip his notepad with a lusty gleam in his eyes like a button-nosed moon face lording over a parfait. I'm convinced their getting commish' but in theory, that's supposed to be illegal now... Either way, I don't want to rely on the Industrial Medicine Complex... I told him no. I came home crest fallen and spent the afternoon sulking questions of life decisions. I came to to decide, instead of sulk raging against the reality of it, go the other way. I would OCD the subject and eat like paranoid parsimonious field rabbit nibbling away in puma country - motivated in no part for fearing death from having observed my mother's decline and knowing that gee... I have some genetic lineage there. I guess to be a fair, the extremism of discipline was mostly in the sugars. I research mono vs disaccharides. How they occur in nature... How the liver breaks them down. Glycogen pathways in normal vs abnormal physiological states. Taste, and how Industry fools you into getting their processed version of these sugars, which include refined grains, into you so that you'll addict and come back... Keen conceptual awareness into the pathways that connect all these facets. I did allow small amounts of organic complex carbs after after research and learning had gained confidences. But absolutely 0 anything that falls within that former definition - even if suspiciously. No processed/added sugars, nor processed carbs... No white pasta/rices... White's kind of a "dark" word in dietary-related health. That obviously means no soda ( obviously). No sports drinks. No fruit juices, which are toxic sugar isolation no matter what Tropicana says. Squeezing your own oranges, for example, is very bad for you. All assumptions reviewed and hate say... had to be modulated and/or discarded. Really, the average person has not f clue, man. I did these measures for several months, ...I time in which after a life-lone dependable 3 on average migraine days per month, I had .... none. Not one. But didn't immediately realize this. After a couple of follow-ups out through month 9 ...nearing a year, my A1c was had indeed returned well within the safe range. I had switched Dr.s ( different reason) in the interim, but the new Dr walked in and she said, "..so congratulations; most people at mid life that come in here for this are not going back," as she flipped a page on her clipboard. I reply was, "... anything to not become death-fearing manacled to the assumption of good-will big Pharma". I think it's a lesson in the virtue of just tracking lifestyle changes and being aware of cause-and-effects... You know? I was fine, carb loading, not fine. How about I just not carb load, before flipping open the prescription notepad, huh. Still, no 'graines. Not one. It had finally occurred to me. I did finally get one. But the key here is that A, it was just 1 after 13 or 14 months - not 36. B, because it was 1, it was easier to isolate a possible cause. I was down a meal and in route to a disc golf round, and my buddy had a couple of protein bars... I ate them... and as that extra-double top-secret soup saccharine sweet heroin hit my brain... I was more interested in getting it in because on top of that dopamine hit, I was legit over hungry. About mid way through the 2nd bar, it hit me though. Uh oh. Wait! I read ingredients... it had all these added "sugar syrups"... Next day? BAM.. in fact, I had 3 that week after. Which is also consistent with the H fructose CS literature at PubMed; that man-mad industrial sugar substitute doesn't breakdown in the liver like the other sugars in nature do -those that have gone through the crucible of biological evolution... It doesn't matter how many cycles of testing these Industries claim make their pap safe, nothing holds a candle to 750,000 years of trail and error by Nature. All that... and, maybe you got Lyme. Ha

There are currently 17 wildfires in the BWCA. Was closed, and is being evac'd. Major fires to the N in CAN. Smoke will be moving through here tomorrow.

Has there been any other occasion with a 10% hatched for tornadoes in New England?

12z HRRR keeping severe weather going in the GYX CWA until 08-09z tomorrow

Think so.

Clouds and smoke during peak heating today… take the under on temps?

Don't eff around. I went to urgent care to get it looked at. Why feel like shit and/or have it escalate?

Another launch this morning at the right time for the jellyfish effect. It was delayed until the optimal window and the clouds broke enough just in time.

Point now says 97 today with a SW wind again, but then smoke arrives Wed. Just a matter of time for that to happen again.

I’ve been keeping track. 47 ticks on me and 11 that were lodged in. Mostly deer ticks and the embedded ones were mostly nymphs. Haven’t had a ring rash…just the regular redness with local irritation and itchiness for a few weeks. But the last few weeks have been rough energy wise and now my eyes and head.

Walk in centers are a good choice too

That cell has been holding together quite nicely. Those 70+ dbz colors aren't very common around here. And there's another one farther NW for our evening entertainment.

Sea level anomalies vs 1997….wow Sea level heights…this is a monster:

I got Lyme disease last summer. I didn’t even know it. I had that classic circle on my leg and my wife freaked out. Wanted me to get it tested. Sure enough I had like two tick born illnesses. But I didn’t really feel any different.

taking the under

Not ready to say it will never reverse. Maybe 10 more years of -PDO and I’ll start having those thoughts. The only thing that’s certain is the that the planet will be warmer. When it comes to everything else, weather can always feel like it’s in a permanent state until one day it isn’t anymore.
