That is funny... this Afternoon Showers and thunderstorms likely before 3pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 3pm and 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm.

LOL Jr. I thought the sane thing, wrh are they saying?' Covering all the bases I guess.

Oh gosh VERY hot, humid and sunny. Yuck

Why do the weather people say it's beautiful? It's not beautiful!

Haha JR. Yeah, the NWS forecasts are interesting at times when they get down to that hourly crap. Just say there's a X% chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Deeper southwesterly flow today pushed everything through fairly quick. I had a brief burst of heavier rain for a spell before it moved out. About 1/3rd of an inch in the gauge. A nice overcast with extremely light sprinkles and much cooler temps in the 70's have been in place for the past couple hours.

The even funnier thing about those forecasts is some folks believe it like Gospel. They could have a thunderstorm 1/4 mile away at 2pm moving their direction at a steady clip but the "forecast" says it's not going to rain until 3pm. Next thing you know it's raining buckets on them and they're surprised. Ummm, stick your head out the window or check a radar!

John ive been noticing the tv weather each afternoon is mentioning rain by Zepherhills each day now..congrats up there ok..hope some finds my area LOL.

well almost 8am and outside i can hear distant rumbling thunder to my north with some thick overcast clouds and i must be on its extreme south side because guess what?..i got about 10 drops of rain LOL

JR it seems the TS is up in your neck of the woods right now..good luck getting some rain!!

LargoFL wrote:well almost 8am and outside i can hear distant rumbling thunder to my north with some thick overcast clouds and i must be on its extreme south side because guess what?..i got about 10 drops of rain LOL

RAIN!!!    Looks like about half an inch this morning.

This looks much better then all of the 20-30% chances we've been seeing.



And yes, I don't like the specific hour forecasts from the TV.  Once they say it is gonna rain at 3pm today, they're already wrong; but folks hang their hat on that schedule regardless of what actually happens. One work buddy thinks that the 'future-casts' on his phone is exactly what's going to happen. How can 1 continue to believe that, day after day after day?!?!?

Terribly hot today- not only no rain, no clouds.
