    Just because you declare a State of Emergency gets you money? What kind of scam is that?
  2. Dark Star
    what a joke!

    So a torndo watch until only 2 PM? I take it any atmospheric support conditions will have exited before any potential heavy downpours arrive closer to 4 PM?

    Hopefully they will be more gracious than their cross town rivals and let the fans know before 3 hours AFTER game time to cancel...

    I remember the tune, but not the artist? OK, I got it, great guitar picker, but never saw the movie...

    I guess there is a slight chance of a severe cell in NE NJ/NYC but it looks like the bulk of the system is even a little farther west. Maybe the only thing that worries me for the greater NYC metro is that strange "remnant" still down around Charleston...

    Is that what those dark patches are?

    My crabgrass is growing nicely...

    Heat does increase evaporation. Hopefully the overall distribution of precipitaton does not change much, but that remains to be seen. It would be great if areas that hardly see any rain receive a little extra help. but I don't think nature always has fairness in mind. What we don't want to see is areas dry up due to global warming...

    I didn't expect this, was only looking for light scattered showers today...

    We haven't had an overwhelming amount of mosquitoes yet, like we usually do. I planted 8, several died, and replanted more, only wound up with 2. I thought if I had about 6-8 plants on and surrounding my deck, it might deter the hellish beasts? Walmart had a large 3 wick citronella candle for less than $5, just in case, but its been too hot this summer to really test it out. Then again, who knows how much active ingredient is actually in the candle? Amazingly, the 5 years I had an RV, we could sit out at any campground, and our sites were usually water front. They must have sprayed like crazy...

    I have 2 lemon grass plants, I am armed and ready...

    Depends what forecast day you were looking at. I believe they revised the temperature upward yesterday (for today)?

    Did it in 90 degree heat with a 99 degree index. Thatched, mowed, seeded ($27 a bag) and covered with topsoil (only $10 a bag). I didn't faint, but I usually melt in heat. Maybe getting used to this inferno?

    I take it the HRRR uses the most recent sounding data? It seems to change by the hour, sometimes quite drastically.

    As global temperatures rise, I guess it's easy just to assume that this will spawn more tropical systems? A novice could just forecast 2 storms above the average...

    Dew 57 here as well, 37% humidity, but still unbearable

    EXACTLY, much like 2 weeks ago...
  19. Dark Star
    Going to be close.

    A repeat of 2 weeks ago Initial forecasts for a wet week, then essentially just a few scattered showers?
  22. Dark Star
    I wasn't too crazy about it. Then again, I feel that way about most entertainment media...
  23. Dark Star
    skeptical, since we saw a similar pattern disappear 2 weeks ago...
  24. Dark Star
    Amazing. Newark usually is one of the "hot spots" but it is east enough for sea breeze effects.
  25. Dark Star
    Is that just do to a cyclical lull, or did the recent Saharn dust play a role?
