But it seems the forecast is turning to more wideapread storms tomorrow so maybe not? Sitting at 89 here, feels like 94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a damn shame People will come out if it's 30% chance of late afternoon to evening shower/tstorm. But when the forecast shows threat of rain all day from morning, it scare them away. Even if the chances aren't that high. Plus when it's clear there smoke days too smh The NWS point and click for me leads with "Heavy Rain." When you look close it shows 30 - 40% chance of rain all day long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
