I did not take away shaming from the article vs. the writer's opinion on the changing way people may vacation. Having the carbon footprint be part of the article obviously suggests it is climate changed based as to the opinion.
I said that on purpose so good catch. LOL. But we were talking about this yesterday. A slam dunk 90 has turned in to MDT still sitting below it near 2PM because of clouds. LOL. Every model I saw had mostly all of us steaming in the mid or upper 90's at this time.
I did not mention CNN to cause angst. Just where the article was. Ok, let's go the other way...Foxnews has an article suggesting climate change is not in play as to the reason for the current heat and that heat waves were much worse in the 1940's.
I did not even realize it was windy out until I looked in the yard and saw large branches and such. Windiest it has been in some time. I am finally in a Meso discussion box...a small victory?
Nooners...filtered sun and 85 in ROU. MDT @82 and CXY @88 on their 11:45 readings. All the numbers are a bit low compared to model progs but MDT's is crazy low.
At 11 CXY and MDT are near where there were at this time yesterday. 84 and 81 respectively. Clouds probably do not change the final high but definitely changed the length of time that was originally forecast for 90's as most suites had all of us over 90 at this point.
Opinion piece on CNN says vacations as we know them are coming to an end due to the extreme weather (whether climate change or not) and the need to have less carbon footprint so less travel at all. The heat people seek will find them at home instead of having to travel to it. The article suggests people trend more toward being content and recharging in their home area.
Interesting take...not sure I buy people stop travelling until a recession stops them.
9:45 and still cloudy but seeing some blue/breaks to my west. 78 degrees.
Re: the clouds, The HRRR has dropped the 9AM temps by 2-5 degrees from the 9Z run....showed mid 80's here at 9AM a few runs ago, now upper 70's on the 12Z. Drop closer to 2 degrees in central LSV. Still gets most of the LSV 95-96 eventually.
