Just because this is funny to me and I'm not really hurting yet for rain and being surrounded by good totals helps I guess.... this looks like an @SD precip map (last 14 days btw)

Maybe the outflows will cool it down.

Me too! My planning skills have gotten better as I’ve aged. I’ve already got a cabin booked for December in Gatlinburg and Polar Express tickets in Bryson City. Also going to the Braves game in a couple weeks. Booked that in March ???‍♂️

Flying all the way out to Rocky Mountain National Park for Christmas. My four year old has never experienced much as far as snow but I'm hoping to atleast show her what its supposed to look like. Would of done NC mountains but can't count on it in December. I'll try around early February hopefully. Where do you guys tend to look?

That's not the Braves/Dodgers series is it? Sorry I'm a Dodgers fan and was going to get tix to one of those games but couldn't get the wife on board, plus I didn't plan well and the "cheap seats" were all gone. Lol

Got lots of lightening and thunder and rain here. Under a warning, but nothing severe. Nice to get a night time storm!

I heard some thunder last night, but wasn't close enough to get the good stuff with this one.

But when did this storm happen? When we were not under a watch. Predicting who gets what and when with the thunder storms around here has been just as hard to forecast as the winter storms.

If your luck is like mine, the Rockies would be having the warmest week in December, ever recorded!

We’re going to the White Sox game. We got some great seats right in front of the Chophouse. They are going for almost double the price they were when I got them back in March. Hotels are also much more expensive now compared to when I booked. We are also going to Six Flags the next day

If I’m staying a night or 2 in NC I’ll usually go to Maggie Valley or Harrahs Cherokee because those two places are “relatively” close to me and I can usually get a free room in Cherokee. If i know high elevation mountain snow is on the way I’ll drive a little bit further and go stay in Banner Elk
 
I think the euro is broken with its 2m temps its got 100 Tuesday and 98 Wednesday while the mean is 92 both days. Maybe it'll be right and the mean will rise but that's a big difference

Back in the big heatwave of late May, the Euro runs from 5+ days out ended up verifying much too hot. I mean several runs had absolutely all-time record highs of a ridiculous 108-111 in some areas! They, as expected, ended up 6-10 degrees too hot. OTOH, the old GFS was very close.
I realize that the FV3 is generally cooler than the old GFS. However, if the Euro is much hotter than the FV3, I'd go in between but probably a little closer to the FV3.

I'd go with thank God (oops ... wrong thread) that May is so far behind us ... now if by the grace of ... (oops) we can just get through October 15 without a landfall ...
 
The wife and I go into Lowe's last night to pick up some paint, a few 2x4's and a handful of lag screws & flat washers. In the section with the screws/washers they have those plastic bags, you write the item number and the number of washers you have....I had 12 flat washers. At checkout I had 5 2x4's in my hand, so I went on out to the truck while my wife pays. We get home and I asked her how much it cost (I should've asked sooner) and she says $122!! For 1 gal of paint, 5 2x4's, 12 lag screws and 12 flat washers....what?!?!? I look at the receipt and admittedly I wrote down the incorrect item number for the washers and it rung up as 12 boxes of 25 washers (almost $6 a box). My wife was like, I knew it seemed high (seriously *face palm* lol) and she's going back this morning to get it corrected hopefully. But you would think the cashier would also know that $62 for 12 flat washers is wrong or when the register clearly showed 12 boxes of 25 she would've noticed. Not knocking the cashier but I learned my lesson.

I never let my wife pay at Lowes or any other home improvement store. I realized early in life that women do not know to look for those types of mistakes unless it's at the grocery store or shopping malls. Don't come down too hard on her.

When I first saw the receipt last night, without thinking, I immediately said "I knew I shouldn't have left you alo......" and felt those eyes and immediately recanted my unfinished comment. Lol
