Oh I Did. I am still shaking lol. Was standing outside under the overhang and just got my camcorder setup, saw the super bright flash and loudest crack I ever heard. Heard it before the flash was done lol.
Well that explains the difference! Elevation and coastline will 99.9% of the time be cooler. Think of lapse rates. If you have higher elevations (say above 1000’) like ORH pushing 90 or into the lower 90’s…then you’re talking about some extreme heat region wide. For the most part days/nights have been above average. If 925/850 temperatures are above average and well above the the entire region is above…maybe some locations are a bit less but that is more reflective of local climate versus large scale pattern and the large scale pattern holds more weight
Climate change is definitely roaring its head. I mean the last few days down here have been equivalent to probably some of the hottest days we’ve had this summer. The only difference is the super high sun angle…that sun is strong and you can get burned within minutes. But outside right now…it doesn’t feel much different than the warm nights up there
2m temperature anomaly maps are in the fraud 5 of what should never be looked at.
1. snow maps - they are pure garbage
2. supercell composite parameter - stupid
3. significant tornado parameter - stupid
4. the hazard option on the SHARPPy soundings - stupid
5. 2M temperature anomaly maps - stupid
We are off! Boarded the ship around or just after 1 and we set sail just after 3:30! I am blown away on what the ship is like and what’s on it. It’s literally a city on ship. Also, it’s about as hot/humid up there as it is down here lol.
Had a nice thunderstorm last night in Delrae Beach around 11. One thing I noticed though when looking at the radar was all the lightning strikes were right along the coast…no strikes inland or over the water…right on the coastline. Found that interesting
