Thunder up 2025!




Well of course you're bored. It's late June, for crying out loud! The jet stream
has retreated to the north (for the most part), it's hot and humid, and we have
3 (HAHAHA!!) I mean 5 more months of this to go before we get snow and ice on
Halloween. Hey, the map above says it all.

That's it. End of Ticker.

Well, no, we do have to say more. It's in our contract, along with CHERRY Pop-
Tarts, the ability to move freely between universes, and a necessary non-compete
clause with somebody named Fred Matheson for the title MINISTER OF FUNK-TOWN.

More immediately, before we go into hysterics over what's gonna happen in July
and beyond, how about the rest of this week? Just normal June-y type of stuff
with some storms here and there, maybe some wind to go with 'em, heavy rain for
a bit if you're under a storm, and continued hot and humid.









Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud!



This map continues to be static, which is to be expected after all that rain
keeping the soils moist. For now.



Even when the sun beats down on us, it's working to evaporate the soil moisture,
which is a cooling process. If that soil moisture goes away, then more of the
sun's energy will go to heating the soil, turning us into a gigantic Easy-Bake
Oven. It does give us a bit of a heat index, however.

Not too bad, like yesterday.



Give it a month.
