Today throws us for another loop
It is now late afternoon. The thunderstorms are no longer heading our way or growing. So, it may rain, but this frustrating day continues.
Sunday still looks hot, but the weather pattern has changed. I think we can now say it is official. The old pattern is falling apart NOW and the craziness begins next week with something completely new. It all starts Sunday night with a stronger cold front with potential for thunderstorms. I am working Sunday night, so maybe it will be exciting. And, then the cooler airmass will flow in on Monday. It is still a summer cold front so only expect a little cooling but it should feel great.
With the pattern completely changing, the rain patterns along cold fronts and warm fronts will act differently. Let's see if we notice this next week.
Today has been draining. At least some rain is moving in and the pattern is changing, but since it is still August we will be susceptable to one more heat wave.

Hi gary,
Exactly how has the pattern changed? I'm not doubting you, just curious. It is frustrating today, the heavy rain is again, south of the metro, as opposed to north of the metro. :(

Dave,
It is changing now, and completely gone by next week. I am talking about the old pattern. I will blog about it Friday and show you some maps to make my case.

Ahhh...this must be how it is for your team most everyday, Gary... I called the GRC death several days in advance. I finally read the models right and used my gut feeling to fill in the rest. The GRC died when I thought it would, and I am STILL saying 92 on Sunday. I see your official forecast has come down from 100 to 97. I think you still have a few more degrees to go. 92. Hang in there gang...this is a fun part of the transition
-------------------------
Scott,
You are the hot forecaster right now, but be careful. As soon as you get cocky then this is when you blow the forecast. The NAM still insists on 100 degrees, but with the pattern change I am going more with the GFS. I think 97 will be closer than your 92. However, remember the pattern is changing right now. So, it may look completely different by Sunday and your hot streak could continue, but maybe for the wrong reason. Good luck. It may look differently by Sunday.

Gary,
How come I can't register for the 3 degree warranty? Did you remove it.
Would like to see on your weather here in the computer a Calendar for the whole month with the high and low temps for each day of the month. Could you do that please. Make it historical also so we can go back and see previous months.
Thanks Gary, You and Brett in the morning are really the Greatest.
Take care, give the puppies a hug (all 3 of them) for me. I have 2 Cockers, I'm a dog lover also.
Love you guys,
Rod

Rod,
We are just waiting for another sponsor for our 3-degree Warranty. So, another couple of weeks probably.
I will work on getting these features on our site.
