Thurdsay, July 19, Partly Cloudy, Hi 82, Lo 72.......Friday July 20....clear....Hi 82, Lo 72.....ZERO percent chance of precipitation AT THIS POINT.

[mountain mama]

that sounds awesome, jimbo!!

Whether the weather be mild or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

[jimbo02816]

Very well put:

[kenbud]

Well I know it's gonna rain Wednesday, almost always rains on my bday(18th) so that'll be a fun drive. As long as it's not 95+ out I'm cool with what ever mother natures throws at us.

[jimbo02816]

Still too early to tell but looks like no significant rain, just a few thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday...Hi temps low 80s, Lo temps upper 60s-low70s.....NO HEAT WAVE....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[tyedyedee]

i only trust noaa and they are saying we are having typical summer weather so far (they have through thursday up)
wicked hot and a chance of thunderbobby
i coulda told ya that!

i am bringing my full gore-tex outfit and LOTS of shorts and skirts
it may not be uber-schwetty vibes like last year, but it sure is gonna be hot

[gdradio]

after LAST year

this year will be a cakewalk

[Occifer Boland]

latest model guidance is still showing a delicious forecast

[capt_morgan]

weather.com isnt showing any 90 degree days at all...

in fact it doesnt get over 83.

[Occifer Boland]

I don't usually trust weather.com.: especially more than 3 days out... But they are close to consistent with other sites, as well as the forecasting data..... I still feel temps are closer to upper 80's.:: possibly 90

That forecast sounds fine, engrave it in granite and we will have nice weather. Maybe a slight change....65 degrees during my sleeping hours of 4-6am until 9-noon, 75 until sunset, a free shower (rain) lasting only 20 minutes.....blah blah blah.....it's a good so long as none of that 105 degree stuff or a weekend full of storms.

[tyedyedee]

i ONLY trust NOAA
but i a frustrated by them today cuz i want fridays forecast and they still only have thursday up and it has changed three times since i checked it about 2 hours ago
once, it said mid 80s, once it said 80 and now it says 86
but living in new england, i am familiar with the weather changing by the minute...
when i get home from work, i am hoping the forecast through friday is still low to mid 80s with a slight chance of passing showers

[TakeAStepBack]

The weather this morning on the boob tube indicated another heat wave. 90s and humid.


I say we fire all weath reporters and the like. They aren't ever correct until the last minute. SO what is the point of a ten day forcast? There isnt one. It seems to just be for people who want to talk about the weather and then talk about how the forcast changed.

[Occifer Boland]

I don't see a heat wave for next weekend

[TakeAStepBack]

Which place ou lookin? NOAA has us at the 90s on Tues. and the boob tube dood said it was gonna last all week next week.
I see weather.com is holding onto their 80s all week prediction.

Im so confused!

Low 80's as a high works fine for me!

[TakeAStepBack]

Yeah, now look at NOAA coming intot he week. It's talking much wamrer as of Tuesday. Time will tell I suppose.

[In A Silent Way]

A massive sunspot region facing Earth - known as 1520 - has unleashed a large solar flare. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center says the flare is rated an X1.4. This type of flare is considered “strong” and can cause a blackout of high frequency radio communication on the sunlit side of Earth for one to two hours.
It is not yet known whether the flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME) - an outburst of particles that can trigger a geomagnetic storm on Earth and damage the electrical grid.

WE'RE SO FUCKED!

a coronal mass ejection

[Occifer Boland]

as i posted in another thread... any rain.. should hopefully be outta here before midday thursday.. with the higher hopes of earlier.. My suggestion is to set up your chill zones.(ez-ups, coolers, tables, etc..).. then wait till later in the afternoon when the ground dries a bit to set up tents

[jimbo02816]

Whatever...I have tarps and large air mattress...no worries mate

[tyedyedee]

[tyedyedee]

[Occifer Boland]

A little rain is ok.. Especially early... Then no heat wave

[gdradio]

A little rain is ok.. Especially early... Then no heat wave

yes! and the amounts are so small ...

I'M READY!!! thanks for the NOAA updates, Occifer Boland!

[Ketel1]

looks like a winner :-)

[HappieKamper]

Looks good to me.

[The Gator]

NOAA has it as 87 on thurs with 30% chance of showers overnight
81 on fri w/ 10% chance of showers
82 on sat w/ 0% chance of showers
84 on Sun w/ 0% chance of showers

[jimbo02816]

NWS latest 6pm Tuesday......A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...WITH A THREAT FOR TORRENTIAL
RAIN...DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES. ANY
TRAINING CONVECTION WILL POSE A THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

If they activating spotters, then some serious weather is headed to Bridgeport on Wednesday. Let's pray the cold front moves through quickly so we can have a dry and cooler air mass in place.

[Occifer Boland]

unfortunately, it will not move as quickly as i would like.. i mean, most of the heaviest rainfall and storms will be wednesday night... and it's the kind of thing where bridgeport may not get it bad.. but danbury will get hit hard.. the storms of the low pressure system don't form until the low pressure center is in place...so it could be a difference of 15 miles that get storms worst than the other.. still looking like mid morning thursday it starts to clear up... with the potential for a quick shower here or there...but those are good to cool things off

[jimbo02816]

Weather underground says 40% chance of rain Saturday, 1 site agrees, others say mostly sunny 82 degrees.....wtf? Now I'm more confused than ever.
