Bet you a Wendy's bowl of chili that it never makes it here. The new hrrrrrrrrr stalls it just south. Looks pretty good for you!
 
My prediction for the next 2 winters: Winter 2019-20 will be SER to death, then winter 2020-21 will feature a weather pattern that should be money, with the trough in the east, favorable storm track, etc, only for all the cold air will be in Europe/Asia. I've figured out by now that Mother Nature hates us.
 
Discovered lightningmaps.org today, pretty cool. Pinpoint accuracy with lightning strikes plus the radius of thunder, really cool.

I won’t need that app,unless I’m tracking Charlotte lightning!?
 
Weatherbug is fairly good with lightning and will show a red dot where the strike was on a street level. Phone is notified about the same time the thunder roars after the lightning strike.

Good series this weekend, I don't know how much of the story that this tells since Ortega of all people hit a grand slam today, but I was amazed that the bullpen for the Braves bounced back and threw 8.1 innings of 1 run ball after that first game.

**breaking my radio silence here. I got heated at a guy in reddit on Friday.
 
Coverage today is amazing! Good kick off to wetter pattern!?C3A76D4E-927D-4363-A075-B4C5343AF16D.png

I didn't much like it Lol. Basically the Dodgers are already in playoff prep mode (I hope), trying different rotation and especially getting May into a bullpen role... but the Braves look solid.

Big series. They know they belong. You’re right about Ortega going yard but who’s to say Ronald’s no hustle play mid game doesn’t factor in somehow as well. If he hustles out a double the Braves could have posted a lopsided number in that inning. Also if Ronald robs bellinger’s 3 run shot in the first then we might be talking about a Max fried 7 inning shutout. I think it says a lot we can win a big series without Dansby as well. Hechavarria has been clutch early on. Lock down defense and can lay wood on the ball. I expect him to cool off drastically in the next week. Good series. We are every bit as good as LA. Bullpen looked really strong this weekend

There was one out on that HR, it wasn’t “quite” clear that it was going to stay or go to me at first, so you probably had the guy on third halfway, and Acuna fell to boot so a run was going to score anyway there. That play costed 2 runs and the 6th for Fried. I kinda think if he’s a bit taller he hangs on there but that would’ve been ridiculous and all over the media if he had hung on.

I was so aggravated by that 3rd inning. What could’ve been bases loaded nobody out ended up being nothing because of a ball called a strike and Ronald not running and then being antsy to get to 2nd base.

I’m still in a bit of a state of shock. The last thing that I’d have predicted happening on this Sunday over a month ago would’ve been Ortega hitting a GS with McCann, Joyce (a guy picked up at the end of ST), and Adeiny (signed on Friday) on base. It wasn’t Buehler or Kershaw, but from what little I know, Gonsolin and May are very good prospects that have nasty stuff, so it wasn’t like they were chopped liver. They were indeed being tried out for postseason roles, I think.

Agree with most of your points. Also game 1 was a very winnable game until late. It looks to me like Braves/Dodgers is pretty close to a even money bet. If we play a 20 game series, the dodgers win 11

Both today's game and yesterday's were great. I was pleasantly surprised when they scored 4 against Ryu and the bullpen has been great as well. Ortega's slam today was a nice shot in the arm!
 
Also I'm sure most of all already knew this (finding out I'm slow Lol) but if you go to mobile.weather.gov you can convert the NWS to an app. Apparently it's easier with the Iphone but on my Android all I had to do was save it to the home screen (not actually an app I guess) but it's also pretty cool, much more phone friendly version.
 
I wanna see a CAT 5 plow deep into Georgia with major disaster to Atlanta and the mountains literally fall down
 
Someone paint a map. Winds 220 sustained. Hard due west into GA then steep north hook inland. Movement 20 mph then slowing to 5mph once near Americus. Stalls near Riverdale. Dissipates 5 days later deep in the north Georgia mountains. 91” storm total somewhere in north GA. 50” for Atalanta. Winds gusting over 80mph for the whole state.
