69 and Mostly Cloudy, and it's already 1:00 PM. The NWS forecast of 77 for our high may be a little generous.

Well, I didn't expect this. Despite increasing signs of El Nino, NOAA revised its season predictions upwards.

We should have Gordon soon.

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS ORGANIZING AROUND THE SURFACE CENTER...AND
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE CONDUCIVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT

HAS A HIGH CHANCE...70 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH.

San Diego, since that's where I was born.
Walking down Michigan Avenue at 4 in the morning or walking down a shifty looking alleyway in the early afternoon?

Nighttime. Better light show.
Would you rather be in the Southern states in the summer time, or the Northern Plains in the winter time?

Live Extra provides archives of all events without any commentary, and it covers a wider variety of countries for all routines. It's really nice.

Ernesto has not strengthened as expected by NHC. I'm sure they are pulling hairs out right now in Miami.

People are nuts. That's all I can really say.
This got me really steamed, though. NASCAR should probably work on getting their fans to shelter more quickly when a storm moves through - or be ready especially when the forecast says thunderstorms likely. Ugh.

It just goes to show how difficult it can be to forecast intensity with these things. Landfall intensity went from a strong tropical storm to a strong Category 1. That's impressive.
