Would be a great spot to test various sensors.

Oh I bet. Even from Arkansas I’m not sure if personally I could distinguish an 84 dewpoint from a 94 dewpoint.

I keeping seeing these but do we know anything about these sensors? We know a lot of sensors go wild above a Td of ~80F. For example a lot of bogus AWOS and CWOP dew points in the mid-upper 80s over the mid south the past few days.

Urban corridor from DC to Philly to New York City should be prepared for the flash flood threat to escalate quickly this afternoon. Likely intense rain rates, but also bad timing: just before or during commute.

The NWS HeatRisk product is really highlighting a large part of the central and southeast part of the country late this weekend into early next week with major to extreme threat. This will be a multi day heatwave so people should prepare and make sure vulnerable friends and family will be okay.

Why 6pm? Daily minimum temperatures go in the books by calendar day standard time, so we have til 12:59am CDT to get below 75.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

This was just south of Meridian and Evans road just after the core passed over. Tons of pea to quarter size hail covering the road and fields. Definitely a few quarters
