unclevlad Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 The next 72 hours are going to bring freak weather here. Monday: may set a record high. Tuesday: may set a record high. Tuesday: may see a 50 degree swing from the afternoon high and the overnight (early morning) low. Wednesday: earlier forecasts were called for as much as a 35 degree drop, but that was AccuWeather; their models frequently over-predict changes on the 5-7 day scale and back off from it later. Still, Weather Channel, NWS, and Weather Bug are all calling for upper 60s to low 70s. Wednesday: may see a record low for the date I questioned the forecasts, but the prediction is a massive shift in the jet stream. Instead of the usual west to east, up by the US-Canada border, it's expected to dip insanely. In front of it, that's where the extra heat comes from. Could be worse; Denver's forecast high is 93 for tomorrow; the forecast low is 31. Tuesday high...37, with snow. That's gonna do some hurt to plants; it's WAY too early for this kind of temp, and the change is going to be extremely sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 It was 115°F on the trip home from work today, and that's predicted to be the high tomorrow, too. Low temps will be 82°F. Wednesday should be absolutely gorgeous, with a predicted high of 82° and a low of 63°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want this article joined with my birthday wishes to Bazza. I don't care for this latest forum change where it randomly merges responses. Personally I erase whichever comment I want in the thread the least. Then if I remember a few hours later, I repost whatever I erased to the thread. I remember maybe 20% of the time. tkdguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Djokovic does have a history of some kinda bizarre stuff. This was just thoughtless. I totally believe him, that hitting the linesperson wasn't intentional...but intent there only factors into the second phase of the punishment. The first...DQ, loss of all points and all money won in the event...only checks to see if hitting the ball (or throwing a racket) was intentional. Had THAT been the case, much larger fines and suspensions come onto the table. 20 hours ago, archer said: While you might be correct, I defy you to give me the reading on a thermostat from 101,000 years ago at 2 pm. Sorry, the Wayback Machine purged that info last year; their storage capacity is finite, after all, and no one had checked on that info for 15 years.... But if you look at the national temperature maps over at NWS...wow. You can REALLY see the change moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, modern global temperature recordings only go back to 1850, though you can get temperature recordings from England and parts of Europe as far back as 1657.

If it had gotten that hot in my part of the country, especially during a pandemic, I would probably be dead from heat. I domn't even think I could have survived in my apartment, because it hasnop AC and ould have been like a firepit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt the Bruins Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 At 121°F I'd be dead from the gasoline fumes off the generator I'd be using to power an open refrigerator in my bedroom. Or possibly from the fridge door closing on me while I slept inside. In which case, I'd die happy and eliminate the need for a coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
