I did realize it was that hot on Sunday. I thought Saturday was worse. Here's a screen shot of Monday's afternoon high.

Those temps are from Mon. At the office by 21st & Rock.
I think we had a little heat burst as the storms that tried to pop up died out and for 15-20 mins it got windy hotter, and the air got drier. Then the wind died and it started getting sticky again. Curious what they measured at Jabara.
99*F was the daily hi on my home weather station out west by 119th.

We had some storms roll in on Wednesday night and last night. Worse on Wednesday night, but not over the top. Nice to see some sun today. And more seasonal temps.

Things to keep in mind when you think about the track uncertainty of Dorian:

There's a 30% or greater chance of at least tropical storm force winds from the Keys all the way up to the Carolinas... I've seen models say eye landfall as far south as West Palm Beach and as far north as Palm Coast

The track error for day 3 forecast is ~100mi, day 4 ~150mi, day 5 ~200mi

Assuming recurving back to the Atlantic is not going to happen, when Dorian turns west will be determined by how strongly the subtropical ridge builds.

When Dorian turns north after its track across the state will be determined by how strong a trough is and when it will be arriving. This trough is now around the Pacific Northwest....on the other side of the country.

Special balloon launches start tomorrow as far West as Mobile, AL and as far north as Norman, OK. Normally, weather balloons are launched at 00Z and 12Z and get a vertical profile of the atmosphere. The data from all these balloons is used as initial conditions for weather models. When there's severe weather, special balloon launches are authorized for 06Z and 18Z on top of the normal 00z 12z. They're trying to get more frequent input data to better forecast when that trough will arrive.

Everyone on the east coast from the Keys all the way up to South Carolina needs to keep an eye on this thing, and people from West Palm north to Jax need to start thinking about preparations.

The track error for day 5 forecast is ~175-200nm

I’ve seen a few putting it in the gulf and ramping up again. West coast is far game at that point.

And then a second landfall anywhere from Saint Marks to Mobile, AL is possible.

I'm in school at FSU with my sister in town (two houses to worry about), my girlfriend and parents live in Tampa area (two houses to worry about), my uncle lives in PCB (one house to worry about), and an Aunt in Boynton Beach (but I don't have to worry about her place). So I've got 5 houses that I might have to prep for the same hurricane that are 400 miles apart....

Keep an eye on www.tropicaltidbits.com. Levi makes his video updates nightly between 1900-2100

thankfully I still have all my cut plywood from 2017, we've got 900 gallons of ethanol free gasoline arriving at work tomorrow for the generators. We've got a crew of 4-5 guys that can run around and board up all our houses in a couple hours. I went ahead and cleaned my one section of gutter and cleaned out the back yard and patio.

Im more upset it might be screwing me up on getting to my step sisters wedding and back than Im worried about the storm.

good luck with all that ground to cover @BOOGIE MAN

Well, my Rainwise MKIII LR took a dump on me. Decided to replace it with a WeatherFlow complete weather station. Got it up and running today, like it a lot, significantly more tech friendly than the Rainwise. I don't like how it measures rain compared to Rainwise, but you can't always get what you want. The Air part of it is mounted on the same pole as my old one, so nice and unobstructed.
