Also curious - where does this summer rank for you guys? We’re mid way through July and if next weeks temperatures verify, I’m getting close to crowning this as the worst and hottest summer I’ve seen.
Had a little over a half an inch on Sunday - the most since mid-May. It’s not nearly enough when we’re pushing 100 every single day of the week. My yard dying out sucks but I really feel for the farmers. I don’t think I’ve seen a corn crop look as pitiful as what I’ve seen the past few days in my life.
Plenty of time for this storm. It’s easy to forget it went from PTC to Hurricane in 24 hrs. It’s working with absolute jet fuel ocean water and it looks like it’s becoming stacked again and resisting the surge of dry air. Odds are a cat 1/2 but we’ve seen the RI in the gulf episodes too often to think it doesn’t have a shot at something higher. Hope folks in East Texas are paying attention.
Storms fell apart again. I’ll continue my 4+ week streak of no appreciable rain for another day. Hoping the weather can warm up a bit and maybe we get higher dew points so we can overcome this severe lack of storm fuel.
Beryl could be an entirely different beast in the GOM if it continues its trajectory. It’s looking less and less likely that this thing hits the widest part of the Yucatán. If I’m in Texas, I’m getting a little sweaty this morning.
.04 here and nothing in sight for a while. Did the tug test on several dormant areas of grass today and it’s finally giving in. Suppose I’ll punt until fall.
I’m crushed as well that Josh isn’t chasing this. I get it,this core won’t be easy to nail but his documentation of this event stood the chance to be an all timer. Not to mention the scientific data he gets.
