Default Ready for rain?

After tomorrow, the gurus are predicting eleven straight days of showers and thunderstorms.

I welcome it. Sounds great for plants and grass. Will make staying home easier.

The weather forecasters are usually wrong about their predictions a larger percentage than not; I believe them as much as I do the Chinese government about Covid 19.

But, with that said, I do hope they’re right in their rain forecast.

Yes, we are entering a wetter period after what seems like an eternity of virtually no precipitation. For many of the days, the forecast of "showers" means that the coverage will be spotty. I would not hesitate to play golf but do bring an umbrella if you walk. Currently, Thursday looks to be the wettest day but that is on the edge of what can be reliably predicted.

30% chance of rain forecast tomorrow morning at 5,6 and 7am. That means a 70% chance that it will NOT rain. Weather forecasters can never be wrong!

Criticism of weather forecasting is silly and factually inaccurate in 2020. Forecasts are amazingly accurate. Case in point: NOAA predicted life threatening winds and tornado warnings for Mississippi and Alabama 5 days ago. What happened last night? Exactly that! And up north I’ve seen snow start within 15 minutes of the forecasted start time. Today’s weather forecasting is not what it was 30 years ago.

I'll give you another possibility the person could have a connection to WESH 2 News ( Orlando ) they claim to have " The Most Accurate Forecast " in Florida. Ahem " Claim " to have.

As for me ? Happy Hour begins today 5:30 pm sharp. Ice Cold Mic Ultra.

Solution: " Preen & Roundup " . Weeds be gone forever, they don't dare sprout at our home.
