  1. 39.1 yesterday at 5:40 am for a low. 40.7 this morning at 7:20. First 30's of the season here too. Total rain for the month so far: 0.03".
  2. Just barely saw the pinkish hue in the sky last night. Couldn't get my old Nikon to power up, otherwise would have taken a few shots. 43.5 this morning at 7:40. Trying to keep the HVAC off as long as possible! I think I can do it with the right windows open/closed schedule.
  3. I mentioned the radar gap for the Charlotte, NC area during the Helene floods, and I believe there's a significant radar gap in the Ft. Myers/Cape Coral area. With the huge population increase in the past decades it could use one.
  4. May have just seen a Tornado cross Pine Island Road over Matlacha. Local news had it on their stream.
  5. I've been calling it Toxic Positivity and Confirmation Bias. Seen it for decades everywhere from CA to FL to NY.
  6. Until Charley in 2004, I heard a lot of "we're protected on the West Coast" and "they can't get that strong in the Gulf". Didn't hear it so much after that and the 2005 season.
  7. With friends in the Ft. Myers area, my thought on the main Milton thread:
  8. This guy is usually drag racing and doing donuts on his racetrack in Florida. Some aerial shots to show how bad it is and what's required to get supplies to people.
  9. Looking ahead, some of you in the high country may see lows in the upper 30s next week. I'm used to seeing heat advisories after a hurricane. Stay warm.
  10. T for today on the rain gauge. 77.7 at 2pm. I watched the remnant low of that b**** spin eastward over RDU on the radar today and I say be gone.
  11. Thank you for posting. The Mt. Mitchell data is amazing. Was watching their website till it went down early Friday.
  12. 3.58" from Helene - most of which came down today.
  13. NC FIMAN, great bookmark: https://fiman.nc.gov/
  14. The Charlotte area radar gap may (continue to) be a problem. I was in the CLT area last week - coming from the immediate Raleigh area, it was sad to see how the storms appeared on RadarScope.
  15. Even better for the Fort Myers area, nearly nonexistent. If I still lived there, I wouldn't be partying yet.
  16. 1.58" overnight. Ground is saturated, seeing seepage onto roads and parking lots everywhere. Won't take much to bring trees down if we get any significant winds in the area.
  17. Feels like a late July night. Hook shaped cell west of Sanford:
  18. Was caught in the I-85 rain band driving between Raleigh and Charlotte this week. 5.39" for the month so far.
  19. 1.69" total. Light sprinkles coming down now.
