Just brutal conditions in Phoenix the past few days. This is the time of year where the peak heat of summer is still lingering, with the monsoon moisture in play too. 
 

Yesterday it was 116/52 at 4pm. That’s a pretty high dew point, given the temperature. At 1am this morning, it was 101/63, and the low temp this morning was 93. Combined with the urban jungle landscape...yuck, yuck, and more yuck.

If this thing had more time over water to organize (even 12 hours) it would've been one of the all-timers for the I-95 corridor.  The forward speed has increased to 40 mph, and that rapid forward speed is a key factor in getting more impactful storms in the mid Atlantic/northeast.  The thing that was lacking was the landfall intensity of cat 1.

They would be so screwed if they had a cat 2/3 charging into the northeast... and it will happen again someday.

I haven't figured out how to do it.  I liked the old design better. 

Just like with everything else that is changed, it then transforms into poo. I can't think of the last time a weather product page was changed and it was actually better than before. Remember Intellicast? Oh wait, its gone too.

Anyone see the updated hurricane season forecast?  Oof.

Maybe we can get into the Greek alphabet again.  

Tryin' not to be a downer, but as August started my hopes for going Greek were dashed. There will be a lot of magical bummers yet to come.

Getting skunked again today. Someone should do a graduate research project detailing what exactly happened to the southern most portion of Kitchener. 

Areas 30 miles north and 30 miles south have gotten hammered this summer. But nothing here. 

There is an incredible amount of new construction happening here. So the air is really dry and dusty. Maybe all the moisture is just getting sucked up? Really grasping at straws.
