That looks a little toasty…

It’s coming 

[Baroclinic Zone]

What a day!

Got about 1” in last nights rains, couple that with the day before’s 1.5”. Probably won’t do much for drought as it came too fast to soak in and most ended up in storm drains.

"the heat feels less hot later in summer" is something i've never heard a normal person say

That is likely because normal people don't speak with you..???

Coldest of our lifetime according to some

"If the wx is not *exactly* normal, then something is wrong!"  The notion of normal is so messed up these days in public perception and in the field.  Well, how about this to make ppl go ????? - "it's normal NOT to be normal!  Normal all the time would be a problem in reality!"

And ever notice that "not normal" is always associated w/ the negative?  So how does one resolve atypical low tornado years or a quiet hurricane season?  Or a winter than is rather mild in the CONUS, like strong EL Nino typically is?  Heating costs and energy demand reduced alone makes it more beneficial than not.
