The swamp animals are going nuts outside @Prospero it’s the ultimate cacophony. They know a hurricane is brewing near by. 
 

Also saw the full moon rising through outflow cirrus, it’s really cool

Is weather folklore an under graduate or graduate class?

Then for God's sake, why post it? Just, why? For all the reasons x10000000, why post the bloody damn NAM, take it seriously and comment about it? Why do people continue to do this?

Oh I am, I just will never understand. I can get people who simply do not know better. But to basically disclaimer it and then post? Grrr...

That’s why it was disclaimed. It’s a simple post…you can choose to ignore and move on. We have people talking about absolute unrelated nonsense on here….at least it was related to the storm.

No, it is 100% misleading and unwarranted if you understand that model's purpose and use. Yet you still posted it. This is on you. Period.

Should just name this storm Hurricane Lebron with the amount of hype it’s getting. The models and setup are very alarming but still I cannot recall the alarm bells being rang quite like this while still in the TD/low TS stage

We skipped over the usual one full week of a slowly developing storm wandering around the islands.  Landfall is expected within three days in a sensitive area so they are cranking up the media quickly.  Also there seems to be quite good agreement that this storm is definitely going to landfall in along the mid gulf coast.

Let’s start using the storm banter thread for these cute quips.

I'm afraid what happened in Tennessee today may be even worse than what we dealt with. Just crazy weather 

Almost everyday we hear of extreme weather events. It could just be my old memory but they seem to be happening much more frequently and with more severity than in times past.

Let me give you one heads up about the south. When Michelle says to you, “bless your heart” that is not a good thing. Welcome.

12" totals? I bet there will be lolis to 18", We can always adjust higher if needed................

Lol. Be careful what you joke about. Here are some totals from tropical depression Fred as it moved through Western North Carolina earlier this week.

I've been too busy figuring out if I need to leave     The tornado in Mauldin was a couple of miles away and the one in Fountain Inn was less than 1/4 mile from me. Fun times    

In case one gets you make sure you remember all you have to do is click your heels together three times and say, “there’s no place like AmWx”.  You’ll be back home in a jiffy.

Europe is going to eliminate short haul continental airplane trips with super high speed trains- we should be doing this too.  Limit airplanes to overseas (literally overseas) travel.  Maglev, hyperloop, etc. can use existing rail technology and are zero emission!

 

We won’t do shit about climate change. Oh, the government might try to implement some changes but I have zero faith that a population that can not even agree to wear a mask during a pandemic will make major changes in their way of life to save the planet.

I got 2.52 inches of rain early this morning. Quite a surprise.

Haha A+ for effort. Maybe it's a bit Midwest of me here, but growing up in Ohio we regularly saw severe storms. But a derecho was always a whole different ball game and think they need something to differentiate between your usual severe storm, and the ones where you legit need get in a building. I'll say this, 65 mph is pretty wild stuff but anyone who's seen 90+ can attest that is a hell of an experience.

I agree. Been there and done that.

Good call by the NWS! Any storm with winds 65 knots and higher or extremely large hail is something the public needs to be alerted of immediately. To be honest why not look at potentially having a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, and a Destructive/Extreme Thunderstorm Warning? 

Don’t give them ideas.  They will come up with something like this.

Marginally Severe

Slightly Severe

Enhanced Severe

Moderately Severe

Real Severe

High Severe

Even Higher Severe

Almost Severest

Severest

Extreme Severest

Even Severester

Off the Charts Severester

Been raining all afternoon today and it's been heavy at times. Currently up to 1.22" for the day. Let my husky out front so he could do his thing and the old fart decided to take off, had to chase after him in slip-ons splashing thru the water. Caught him but not after both of us getting soaked. 

I’m betting he enjoyed getting soaked a whole lot more than you did.

More action that us, no rain here. Have had some nice cooling outflow breezes

I’m sure but look at my location under that storm. I mean, come-on.

I didn’t get rocked. I didn’t get swayed. I barely got wet.  0.12”, no thunder, no wind. I have to quit predicting weather.  I am currently in that clear spot just behind the main storm. Unreal.

I am about to get rocked. Let’s see what I get.

He got all butthurt when I told him to read more and post less and resorted to vulgar, misogynistic name calling    I'm pretty sure it was a sock for someone who has been banned several times, and he'll go running back to where he came from whining about how mean I am 

Ah.  All I had was what was in the thread.  

BTW……You must be hell on wheels.

He made too easy 

I was trying to give hi an easy way out. I didn’t delete the comment in the thread so it could look like he had the last word. That shit doesn’t mean much to me. I did tell him he would be gone for a week if he continued.

Gotta keep the poofing skills sharp before the winter weenies arrive  

I warned him last night but didn’t suspend him. I was waiting to see if he would let it go or make another comment. 

Hottest day here as well. 95.4º.

You probably should let this go now.

I suggest you temper your comments. I’m pretty sure your satire post wasn’t weather related. Think before you p[ost.

Ive been wearing my mask anyway , even after fully Vaccinated. I just didnt trust the others out there who were or werent vaccinated.  It sucks we are going backwards again but if I have to wear my mask then Im good with it.  

My friends I mentioned before are on Day 15 for him.  She is much better now. He has a helluva nasty cough still and his abs hurt from all the coughing.   No fevers though.

My other friend near Charleston, SC also fully vaccinated picked up the virus with a stuffy nose then got tested 3 days later and it was positive.  She had a fever and a cough yesterday.  Today she said the fever broke and the coughing is just occasional now.  Will see how she feels the next few days. 

 

My nephew’s 3 year old has been running a 101 fever and head congestion for two days.  His wife is better except for the loss of taste. Interestingly my nephew’s test came back negative. That surprised me.
