Sort of hard to believe that we don't have confidence at least in "trends" of temperature more than 10 days out in the year 2025. Then again, I'm surprised at a lot of things in 2025...

That would be me, whoops, I just did...

My guess is that the models don't account for surface friction and that most of the time, the mixing down gets "stuck" at the lowest levels? Winds are the hardest thing to predict. It used to be how much snow was going to fall from any one particular system. Of course, if you ask me, it has been unusually windy over the last 10 years or so?

They almost ALWAYS are.

Most "summertimne" activities begin Memorial Day. Sometimes its, hot, sometimes its not. Forget the ocean temperature. People still go to the beach to get a tan and do whatever else. June is historically warm. By the 4th of July, if you blink, summertime is over. And you are allowed to start wearing white clothes after Memorial Day. So yes, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, especially since it is so close to June 01, the beginning of meteorological summer...

While I realize tornados are spawned as a result of multiple synoptic features coming together at the same area, I still am amazed that there are so many of them at night. Probably because here in the east, we see so many thunderstorms losing their intensity as they approach our area in the evening, as the sun's energy is removed, thus eliminating some of the lift to produce the higher cloud heights. Sort of seems counter intuitive. Not to say we don't see severe thunderstorms at night in the summertime...

I would first like to train the birds not to crap on my car after eating berries...

Did you see the hail accumulation? It was half a foot deep?

They first said that there were no natural enemies, but I think I heard after the fact that indeed they did have new natural enemies here in the US.

With the nature of tornadoes, I don't think we can save many more lives. If you warn someone of it coming, and it never materializes, people become numb to the warnings. And in hurricanes, many people have to be pulled out of their homes to get them out. The whole idea of blanket cutbacks is to see what is really needed and to find ways to become more efficient. Everyone will rationalize that their department, their specific area is the most important. The only way to find out what is most essential is to make cuts across the board and restore the areas that become obvious at a later date (hopefully sooner than later). Also, many of the proposed cuts do not occur, or are negotiated down. The government is too big to be able to surgically remove what is true waste. Pharmaceutical companies are a good example. There used to be people going to work at was once called "country club" environments, read a newspaper, and fall asleep.

Isn't the priority of a major airport to move people? Why haven't they redirected or reduced cargo planes at Newark if there is such a problem there? It shouldn't matter if Fedex or UPS have major contracts. In a state of emergency as it seems Newark Airport is in, shouldn't the FAA step in and at least try to relieve some of the air traffic? Oh boo hoo, we get our packages a day or two later because Fedex flights are redirected to JFK, LaGuardia or Philly...

Thunder and a light rain starting to fall in Tremley Point section of Linden, NJ

If they can outlaw gas stoves, they can outlaw energy-wasteful air conditioning?

Alaska rivals Hawaii as the most beautiful states, so not too shabby there...

I guess I will continue the unrelated banter by stating I wish there was a way to respond to the banter, but linking it to a more general "thread", so as not to continue to clog up the topic?

It really doesn't matter. We use all historical data for the minimum/maximum records for any specific date, but only use the previous 20-30 year average for the day's average temperatures? When people hear heat index temperatures, or wind chill, they think that is the actual temperature, so, it really doesn't matter,because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk cause they've got all the money!

Perhaps local major media "meteorologists" should climb aboard and not use Central Park temps? I know, wishful thinking...

Union wage, etc.,closer to a billion. NYC building costs are astronomical compared to the rest of the country. I forget the difference of the cost of Citifield being built with a dome vs. no dome, but it was quite large. It would cost $800 million to put one on now...

They don't have to tell anybody. Perhaps a group of us can go in there, with a ladder, with nobody suspecting anything?

It's NYC.

Maybe not a true dry slot that we seem to see all too often; maybe a "weak" slot?
-
Right about where we should be.

I wonder if this was it?
