Would you like the 105 F we had yesterday? I'll trade.

I won't move near you, Don! Maine is bad enough these last few summers.dlgoff said:We had a heat index of 117°F yesterday and it was impossible to spend more than 5 minutes before your cloths are soaked. Now at 101°F the index is "only" 106°F.
It has it's advantages. Like just now.turbo-1 said:I won't move near you, Don! Maine is bad enough these last few summers.
Can't trust the weather-reports here because things change so fast. You'd think that the forecasters in KS would be able to see stuff coming...Evo said:We're supposed to have a thunderstorm today and the temp is supposed to drop 20 degrees. of course the storm was goping to be at 1pm, then 2pm, then 3pm, now the storm is still at 3, but no temperature change.
Yesterday they said it was sunny and clear, so I walked outside with the fruit bat and it started pouring.
Good grief.turbo-1 said:Can't trust the weather-reports here because things change so fast. You'd think that the forecasters in KS would be able to see stuff coming...
Last week's microburst cost my neighbor a couple of large maple trees, an ash tree, and the top of his pear tree. It missed my property, but he and his daughter say that straw mulch on the garden and wood-shavings from around the berry-bushes were getting sucked up into the air and strewn all around. I don't want to live in tornado alley, but the alley might be moving here.
Where's that blinking-sun smilie when I need it? Let's move over to chat. Mkay?Evo said:Good grief.
A big tree right in back of my place broke in half during a storm a couple of weeks ago. Now I have a gap where the sun isn't blocked.
NOOO, not the SHOCK!turbo-1 said:Where's that blinking-sun smilie when I need it? Let's move over to chat. Mkay?
Ack! Quick! Make lots of posts now!Evo said:NOOO, not the SHOCK!
Seriously, why do forecasters in KS have such trouble? The terrain is open and flat. You could see trouble coming for 100's of miles with decent radar and satellite imagery.Evo said:Ok, this morning weather.com sid thunderstorms starting at 1pm continuing all afternoon.
Now not until 8pm. Seriously, they can't can't predict today's weather?

At least Maine forecasters have some viable excuses. Arctic highs sweeping in meeting Southern flows sweeping up from the gulf and getting trapped along with moist cool air from over the ocean. Things can get tricky here.Evo said:You'd think!
They are always wrong, it can be pouring down outside and go on their website and it will say sunny and clear. :uhh:
Apparently, mine did too, including the "severe" ones.Evo said:Okay, no problem, the next 12 hours of thunderstorms just disappeared.
We could make better predictions blindfolded and throwing darts turbo. At least we might be right part of the time.turbo-1 said:Apparently, mine did too, including the "severe" ones.
Nasty!dlgoff said:It's only 95°F here this evening but with a heat index of 108°F and the weatherman is saying that the heat wave will be building for the next week. Looks like maybe a real temperature near 110°F.
Exactly. I'm thinking Maine this time of year.turbo-1 said:Nasty!
It gets much hotter where you are, we still haven't gotten above 99 here yet this month, today is only the 2nd day it's gotten to 99, but they say tomorrow it can get to 100.dlgoff said:It's 103°F with a heat index of 108°. Help me. I don't think I can take too much more of this.
