It’s a bumper year for ants Blackhole!
We have a 2nd day of 60% chance of rain. That means it won’t rain. Not sure why they even make these statements.
High of 83. Sunny.
Low(er) dewpoints/nighttime lows kept the anomalies in check out here. Airmass advection was straight out of the west that summer (as opposed to the typical south/southwest) so moisture was limited.
Probably why the 1988 severe season was so lackluster. Ring of fire convection stayed north most of the summer, and downsloping westerly flow likely killed most home-brewed activity.
I had washed a bunch of ants out of my weather station (they made it their home for some reason) 3 different times. I took a different approach yesterday and opened the top up and it got so cooking hot in there that they voluntarily left. Problem solved lol
In other news, it looks like scattered showers and storms every day for the next week. Friday looks like the day with the most potential for a lot of rain. Severe weather may be maximized Mon-Tue with the big CAPE in place.
