    Tell that to the Caribbean and the hurricane there about to experience. We've never had a hurricane develop so far East this early in the year. Ever

    I'm a weather nerd so I'd like to read your link to that info. I couldn't find it in google. I did see one hit Tabago in June in the 30's, but it didn't say where it was when it became a hurricane..

    Just finished the yard and it was nice at first, a bit of cloud cover, but then the sun came out and the heat was turned up. Took a 96 degree hot tub and it was pretty nice.

    I think we're getting ahead of ourselves with this thread. July 4th is still 5 days away. Can we at least wait until then before we declare it the hottest day ever??

    Predicting Cat 5 today, although it's currently predicted to hit Janaica as a Cat 4. Not gonna be fun in Jamaica this week.

    Absolutely wild how much the forecast has shifted. A couple days ago it was predicted to be a weak Cat 2 for a day or two at most, and then weaken.

    I always said I should have been a weatherman, the only job in the world where you can be wrong 90% of the time and still keep your job.

    Yeah, I look at the weather.com regularly, but it's gotten ridiculous. Today, started off with 99 percent chance of rain, rain in the morning, heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. Then it was 52 percent with thunderstorms in the afternoon. Eventually 18 percent with maybe a stray shower dropping by.
    It does that about every day.
    Maybe it's just messing with me.
