Good for you!..I am almost retired, They should give retired another name because it means something else .....lol as in death:)
So its almost as if where you worked writes you off as dead....
he retired forget him!

getting old bites!

I now only work on my wife's days off so I don't have to work for free!

Cooler morning today. A quick sprinkle at my house yesterday, but it didn't measure in the gauge. Well the NWS finally got around to upgrading the drought status in FL. I am now officially in D1, moderate drought. Looks like a small chunk of D2 severe drought around the Big Lake. I expect this drought will last into June and maybe July if the rainy season struggles getting going.

well that's good news Billsfan,sure could use rain here by me but supposedly its going to be a nice hot and dry weekend coming up.

Good afternoon. You did well Billsfan. Struggling for rain here but the temps have been nice. 60's yesterday and upper 70's for the weekend before the 80's return. AC will be working OT soon (like me!)

I think I am the youngest poster here (unless Scott returns) at age 45. 20 more years until retirement. Sorta one of those things you want to come but don't because it means the years are creeping up.

Good Saturday Morning folks...nice around my area this morning,I just looked at my 7-day..low 80's all week long this coming week..spring has arrived here lol...now where..are those april showers? lol...have a great day everyone!

Good Morning all!   So glad the weekend is here  

What a game last night between FL and WI.  A heartbreaker loss for WI at the buzzer in OT..

Good morning. Wow, what a devastating loss. The SEC has surprised - 3 teams in the Elite 8.

7 day for my locale.

Feel free to share gomey.

5 day QPF.

Tightly wound low pressure exiting OK with another system departing CA which will set the stage for severe weather in the southern plains tomorrow.



First system has gomey under the slight risk today.



Then attention shifts west tomorrow to OK/TX

Good morning everyone!

BOO Gators.. lol

good at least you have a chance for showers end of the coming week.

Very breezy down here today. It's sunny, then it clouds up and looks like it wants to rain, then turns sunny again. At least it's cool .

Afternoon windy here with rain shower
Temp 74
Humidity 91%
winds S at 17mph
dew point 68
barometer 29.96 digital, 30.00 analog...falling trend

Forecast:100% chance of Rain with a chance of thunderstorms some possibly severe this afternoon into this evening. Then a 20% chance of rain later tonight ,clearing on Sunday.
High today 75
Low near 60

Inbound rains are approaching an acre somewhere on the gulf coast, lol.

Static loop:

classic set-up...with land heating faster than water as the showers move north there is more lift due to the sun being out all day with clouds rolling by..

but now our cap is broke so thunder is rumbling closer as these showers develop in to storms and zoom off North East

it might get nasty.....lol

well it is now going boom! trapped in the man cave. so will ride it out here...LOL

now my next addition to my weather stations will be a lightning detector. I can't count em..lol

at .80 inches of rain so far..and it's pouring so well over an inch will happen,,

I didn't Bills. I was in a rush to get out the door this morning. I saw Ed, posted here, then forgot to go back there! Appreciate you giving him the heads up.

I'm glad you saw it Aug. I probably wouldn't have been back there to look.

Way to go, Gators.  Good run.  Feelings for the Badgers and Jayhawks.  Go Gamecocks!

Nice game South Carolina. Their defense is awesome.
I don't know if I've ever seen Kansas be manhandled like they were last night.

Go Tarheels!
