Bit of rain this AM.

I'm pretty sure when I checked yesterday there wasn't a chance for showers or thunderstorms today yet there's a storm coming right for me lmao these forecasts are actual trash now

Thankfully in terms of ranking we don't rank with tornado alley in intensity. Anything over EF3 is usually pretty rare in most of the state and slightly less rare in the western half. Still very impressive. We might be able to beat 2021 but 1998 might be hard to beat unless the fall season is very active

Climatology always finds a way to break free even from the most hostile conditions. I'm sure we'll see at least one long tracking hurricane in the next 1 1/2 months. We had Joaquin in 2015 and that one was originally forecast to pull another hurricane Sandy into the east coast but that eventually didn't pan out. Joaquin was able to find the perfect spot to turn into a high end category 4 and hang around for a while.

Glad the drought is getting chipped away little by little.

Looks like July 1936 was finally dethroned as the hottest month ever recorded in the US. July 2026 holds the record now. I'm impressed it took that long to break 1936. Almost 100 years

Second severe thunderstorm warning of the day so far

Was just about to come in here and say that too

Wasn't expecting a severe thunderstorm warning at 8 am

The 2015-2016 winter was absurdly unremarkable except for that monster blizzard. I almost got my entire seasons worth of snow just from that one storm alone. Otherwise it barely snowed at all.

It's been great. Really nice vibe for over an hour. We really needed this rain too

Forecast high for today is 82 and it's already 84 degrees at 2 PM. Genuinely what is going on. This has been multiple days in a row now the temp forecast has been off by multiple degrees. If it's 84 now it'll probably get to 85 or 86 by 5 PM.

Forecast high was supposed to be a couple degrees cooler than what it is now at 85 degrees. This has been happening so much lately lol

Might have broken the record low tonight. If not it's tied here. Pretty impressive.

So is there an exact reason why weather forecasting has been so inaccurate the past year or two? High today was supposed to be 79 and it's already up to 83. This has been happening a lot more lately not just with temps but inaccurate predictions when it comes to rain and storms as well.
