I know lol it's from LWX

Right. I just think ppl read too much into what is non standardized text from LWX. It's a weekend.. People are out at pools etc. There is a bit more widespread svr than normal. I think that's all they mean.

Waiting for my turn down here. Am I gonna die?

I'm embarrased for the weather community these days. What if everything was treated like we do weather now? None of us would be able to carry on with our lives as we'd be too scared to move.
