Social media I would argue is what influences the population most now, way more than traditional media like TV

yeah, unfortunately; unfortunately because so much of social media is utter trash and out right false

64/64 IMBY, a bit humid but plenty cool, ACs off and widows open tonight and hopefully through the weekend?

WxWiz will buy his tickets 1201am the day they go on sale and make sure he is first in line at his locate AMC! :weenie:  Opens Aug 21.

The trailer is about as cliche and formulaic as you can get. And what does jogging in slow motion have to do w/ storm chasing? Talk about an intro that has been done 1000x over. That's the best they could do for an intro?

And as if storm chasing has not been dramatized and romanticized enough already?  I fear the roads next spring.  We keep thinking, "how can it get worse?" and then witness another year. :angry:

And if this movie does very well?  You can expect a flood of more wx movies, some downright egregious, as everyone tries to cash in on the renewed fad/novelty.  Recall what we saw after "Twister" in 1996? We got "Night of the Twisters" and "Tornado," and it seemed every popular show on TV at the time had to insert a tornado into the plot!

Night of the Twisters was awesome, read the book too. But, wasn't this based on a "true" event? And I say "true" because the specifics/details weren't exactly based on reality but the background of the event was

Yes, it is based on the June 3, 1980 Grand Island NE event (look it up, PT material for sure).

It was awesome?  How did you like the anticyclonic hurricane over Nebraska as what the storm looked like?  And the "chase" scene or the climax is the apex of cheesy silly (tornado "following" the family in their car).

At least "Twister" tried.  It has some issues, but I can forgive for artistic license to a point, as it is for entertainment.  For a wx movie, it was about as good as you make one IMHO w/o going off the rails silly/stupid!

Looks to get hot as a firecracker around the 4th. Thankfully doesn't look sustained.

I'm not too keen on persistent heat in the NEUS.  00Z ECMWF says no go.  The ridge axis is well to the W so that makes NEUS susceptible to BDFs/onshore flow/more clouds/pcpn.  GFS says yes to big heat tho but even that suggests it won't last.  Mean trough position near/along the E Coast has been tough to shake overall.

That was definitely cheesy...and the trailing car getting sucked away...reminded me of when you would get sucked up by that sun in Super Mario 3 :lol:

There’s definitely a weakness there with the ridge axis that far west to sneak some north Atlantic stank our way. 00z euro op is definitely a way to taint the heat in our region…like you said. With that said…the ridging won out in early June so I won’t buy that yet. But we’ll be prone to backdoors or at least late digging s/w’s north of us that at least bring the dews down and moderate the heat. 

I’ve actually been enjoying the last few days. As long as mins are well into the 50s I’m okay with daytime 70s…even for my heat loving plants.

But we’ll be prone to backdoors just cuz we suck, period ...nothing else matters but if we must, or at least late digging s/w’s north of us that at least bring the dews down and moderate the heat.

mm..  I think the 12z GFS is on crack with that west atl cut-off out of now where like that.  00z CMC was an outlier with a sharply back calving trough too, so we'll have to see.

we were slated for a 2 days of significant heat until this run, tho.   Euro's never been on board.   Looks like this trying to miss NE a least excuse imaginable.   Again...while the rest of the world broils to 2nd place i hottest ever. 

Wonder when cold enthusiasts around here will stop getting jerked off
