dewpoints starting to drop but will be tomorrow before it's really drier.

Looks like 4 days in a row with dewpoints well down into the 50s at least. Great stretch coming up.

Not as much severe here-but lots of flooding events.   7/4 was our big severe day in CT

Looks like the OKX forecast zones moved up to 8th place so far for annual flash flood warnings while the PHI zones are in 1st place.

It feels great outside to me.  Nice breeze and since it is just 80, the dews don't feel bad at all.  Looking forward to logging off work in an hour to enjoy the long weekend.  

Yep today was great right from 9 am onwards.

The most annoying thing is the FCC over regulation requiring local TV stations to keep broadcasting weather while a tornado warning is ongoing. There was one here that lasted for 3 hours and the TV mets ran out of things to say.

This FCC over regulation needs to come to an end. Instead they should regulate the amount of commercial time allowed to TV stations to 5 minutes per 30 minute period.

I understand a 5 minute update and a crawling scroll at the bottom of the screen with a radar inset, But 3 hours for a tornado warning that probably didn't even contain a real tornado? HELL NO

How many of these tornado warnings contain real tornados? Not doppler funnel clouds? I propose we limit tornado warnings to only real verified on the ground tornados and doppler funnel clouds can be given tornado advisories or funnel cloud warnings or whatever. 

And if you think this is a trivial issue, an Atlanta TV station was given death threats for interrupting the Masters because of tornados that day. 5 minutes of coverage every hour is enough and a scrolling crawl at the bottom of the screen with a radar inset.  Or maybe allow each state to handle it separately tornados are much more of a danger in other parts of the country.
