Use another platform? j/k :). I refuse to create an account. Used to be able to browse and read things, but now its like Instagram and the others where you can't do anything without an account. No thanks.
This is extremely un-scientific but I feel like modelling this summer has been pretty poor, at least in short term resolutions. I was out in Missouri for a week at the beginning of the month. 5 days out the forecast was for multiple days of 100+ and sunny. Ended up raining at some point every day and highs in the mid 80s. There have been weeks here of the same precip/temp issues. Maybe we are on a boundary and its really hard to nail down?
All summer our weather appears to be influenced by a non-stop stream of energy coming across the great lake region. Are we expecting this to shift as we head into fall and winter?
Trying to understand what to look for in terms of pattern change as we get closer to winter.
Little surprised at the lack of action re: Canada fires. I'm guessing most are in really remote areas and difficult to get to? The latest I've been reading is they are just now mobilizing military and other resources? Its also hard to find a lot of news about it with details.
ocmd has been great all week. highs in low to mid 80s until today..hit 90 but there was a stiff breeze so it still felt fine.
ocean temp in the low 70s, feels great and no jellys. i remember growing up having to dodge jellyfish on the regular. Anyone know what happened to them, not that i am missing them.

I used this and it worked really well. Normally I try and limit what I spray in the yard but the clover and chickweed went crazy this year.
I add a surfactant to a 2 gal pump sprayer from harbor freight and spot treat. Its a chore over a half acre but limits the amount of chemical I put down. Took two treatments about 3 weeks apart to knock 95% of it out.
It was a great show! Glad everyone was able to get some seats! I followed Weezer up with the Dave Matthews concert on Saturday. Had great weather which was good since we were on the lawn. Happy to enjoy some live music this season.
I wish we had a transition between cool/dry and hot/humid. Yesterday I was dripping doing yard work.
HoCo force field in full effect. I actually would like these storms to pass on through as I'll be at Merriweather for the Weezer concert. Luckily decided on seats and not lawn!
Looking at the HRRR smoke product, there appears to be some fires down in NC, and the plume is being pushed due north into our area. Nothing like what was coming from Canada, but apparently we are surrounded by fires
