@MattHoenigWx @weatheraub SPC has 60% watch issuance in a recent MD. What about coverage? It’s cooler up there too, but I also don’t like to poo-poo these kind of risks. I tend to be a bit more conservative.

@MattHoenigWx @weatheraub I don’t want to get into this too deep. While the indices look dang good with moderate instability (whether ML or surface based), the smoke and cloud cover have done a number on heating. NBM for me is forecasting a high of 97 today. My home station hasn’t been above 89F.
