Hoth

Good. Could use the rain.

This heat wave has been pretty meh in my opinion. Temps never got as high as projected, and breeze kept up the heat flux off the skin. I don't even have a/c on in the house today and I'm fine.

Hoping for some big surf a la Bill when I'm back at Fishers in a few weeks.

Plenty of tropical modeling porn to add to the spank bank this summer.

Pounding rain and constant thunder. Finally some decent sleeping weather!

Could be fun. We'll see.

Epic. The homeowner in me wishes to never see wind like that, but my inner weenie would give anything.

Waiting for the melt to commence.

Maybe Bob in '91? I'm not sure what category it was officially at landfall, but Block Island gusted to like 110 or 115.

Nice downpour early this morning. Still cloudy. Hopefully they'll stick around and tamp down the heat.

July '11 is the last heatwave I really remember as being brutal.

A MAJOR SWASS OUTBREAK IS FORECAST FOR TODAY/TONIGHT The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center, in conjunction with its partners at the National Weather Service and the National Strategic TP Reserve, have issued a HIGH RISK for swamp ass this afternoon and evening. This is a Particularly Dangerous Situation. Soaring temperatures and humidity, combined with ongoing toilet paper shortages, will result in dangerous conditions from the gluteus medius to the maximus as well as a high likelihood of life threatening acid rain and flooding of the perinial gorge and taint plain. Damaging heat bursts may originate from the high risk area as well. The NSTPR has petitioned the White House to release precious reserves, but no action is forthcoming at this juncture. Spotter activation is requested in the hatched region.

Yes.

This might be the pick of the summer. Just spectacular out. Enjoy!

Flawless morning on the island. Sunny with a light breeze and temp in the 50s. Beautiful.

It was looking promising earlier, but we fizzle as usual.

Fox Chapel is a beautiful suburb. If you like golf, Pittsburgh also has a ton to offer.

I've been watching those storms bubble from the beach all afternoon. Some nice boomers for you inland folks.

I am unconvinced that this will come within a furlong of 2018 in the dews department. That was a freak show.

I had a one inch diameter branch down in my yard this morning. To whom do I appeal to have Fay's name retired?

I too follow that approach, but you will be measuring in feet a lot more than I will be.

While this will surely end up meh, there is a certain appeal to it here. Beyond the tropical dews, the clouds are dark and heavy and racing towards the northwest. We get occasional burst of those small droplet showers that are so typical of tropical systems. I dunno. I'm enjoying it for the minor novelty it is.

Yeah, the fact that the highlight of my winter was some flakes in mid May says it all. The title of this thread would work well to describe last winter with one minor amendment: "Drought ending rains and severe dejection."

Amen to that!
