That link doesn't mention incorrect positive tests.  It says that there are negative test results that haven't been reported.  That is two different things.  Not reporting all of the negative tests would affect the positive test percentage but not the raw number of positive cases.   

of course a group of people online have taken this as sign of a massive conspiracy.  This reminds me of early on when Oklahoma was reporting only a tiny amount of tests and a very high positive rate because all private labs were only reporting positives.  It made Oklahoma look like it was testing an order of magnitude people less than every other state

ETA:  confirmation of our theory

Never in my life would I have thought that someday people could be made to believe that breathing their own CO2 on an extended basis would be considered healthy and safe. Just incredible. 

Crazy, just like watching the doctors slowly kill themselves in the operating room day after day.  Not to mention the mass deaths in Asian countries from mask wearing.  Not a time to trust the "experts."

Mr. Covid’s Wild Ride never ends

Gonna be very close to our normal July rain total already with rain only falling on 2 days this month 

So much lightning with these storms.   Gonna get a hefty rain total as well 

Madison tagged 90 again today.  5 days in a row now 

Saturday looking potentially interesting in Wisconsin on the NAM and 3km NAM.

we're going to have outflow boundaries galore over southern Wisconsin so that might be able to elevate some storms from an average t-storm day.

Have not looked at it at all but there's a slight risk from Lake Michigan westward tomorrow.

looks like another MCV/shortwave rolling along the Minnesota Iowa border through the afternoon and reaching Illinois/Wisconsin just after peak heating.

89'd for the 3rd time this month.  Humidity is gonna take our 90s away this summer

looks humid, corn is gonna be chest high by the 4th

patterns like this make the CAMs look so foolish

madison area about to post some big rain numbers

yeah the airport might not get the super high amounts but the west side of town already has 2.5" plus

dewpoints cranking up to 75 here.  really liking our odds of getting multiple days of dews over 80 later this summer

Even when the severe is mediocre we still do rain very well.  1.03” on the day and 4.82” on the month. Our new June climate average for 1991-2020 is going to be a crazy high value of around 5.3”

Flat out pathetic thunderstorm season.  First enhanced risk in awhile and we were socked in with clouds, and Chicago gets hit with the better stuff again.

Yeah I’d kill for even a late night  MCS with vivid lightning.  The pattern has been really wonky this year  

65 mph wind gusts with the severe warned cell

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the cell right on the nose of the MCV along the MN/IA border

Prairie Du Chien already up to 76/70

Is it me or is MKX radar down now for the last 20-ish minutes?

it was down for about 10 mins but it's back up now.  at least on radarscope

Not liking all these showers in the late morning.

these are elevated WAA showers so they aren't generating a cold pool.  Surface warming already occurring in SW Wisconsin

Pros:  MCV barrelling down the Iowa/Minnesota border, should reach here during the afternoon, ample moisture return

Cons:  All that convection between here and the MCV

As long as there is no festering convection in eastern Iowa in the mid morning I’m feeling prettay prettay good

There's even some local backing of winds through late afternoon

The morning models have sped up the front and are now firing the storms farther south.  The UK and Euro now have nothing here.  The CAMs fire the storms just barely in time.

the HRRR has been trending slower all day and its been the quickest model.  Hoping the trend continues so storms erupt in our area

day 2 of some fiesty thunderstorms about to hit MSN.  Looking like some small hail and 40 mph winds expected with these.  can hear the thunder get louder as it approaches
