@FloridaTropics1 That is true. The GFS, even though it’s a mainstream model, doesn’t perform well and lags behind the rest of the models. The EURO is really the king of models, though ICON/CMC/UKMET have had their wins. Hurricane models like HWRF and HMON are not bad either
Good analysis. Sept-Oct Gulf Hurricane would be my only concern in an El Niño season like this. I want to say Imelda was in 2023 which was an El Niño. But in terms of Dolly, IF it survives the wall of shear, maybe at best a tropical storm for the Bahamas or FL. And that’s a big IF
In a study of 31,044 U.S. adults aged 40 and older, eating the first meal later in the day was associated with higher mortality; compared with eating between 7–8 a.m., eating after noon was associated with 29% higher all-cause and 46% higher cardiovascular mortality.
In 2019, a budget of $15,000 to $20,000 bought a 3.4 year-old vehicle with about 42,000 miles.
Today, that exact same dollar amount gets you a car that’s nearly 2x as old: averaging 6 years old with 71,000 miles.
Every American understands how much home prices have jumped. But it’s a similar story in the auto market…
Good piece from @SingletaryM on just how cut throat the used car market has become

The Season 4 finale of ‘BREAKING BAD’ will be shown in select theaters on September 7.
Attendees will get a goodie bag that includes a Heisenberg hat, blue rock candy, a call bell & a Gus Fring half-face mask.

People keep saying:
"At least your mortgage payment is fixed."
Not really.
Insurance goes up.
Taxes go up.
HOA dues go up.
Repairs go up.
The interest rate may be fixed. Homeownership costs aren't.
@WeatherProf Are we still looking at a transition next summer into La Niña? I know in the past, a strong El Niño usually brings La Niña the following year. And I still think 1998 is a good analog year
@PC_WeatherBoy Doesn’t terribly surprise me. With a very strong El Niño and super hot Pacific Ocean temps, I knew the Atlantic would be below average. I actually will be surprised if we get more than 8 named storms this year. It does concern me though about severe weather between Dec-Feb

@WeatherProf Lower hurricane chances and cool crisp days in during the winter? What’s not to love about El Niño in Florida! *Quickly remembers 1998 and the tornado outbreak* …..welp, no weather pattern is perfect. But we will take the good!
@MuneerUMC@rawchronicles The sad part is there is no contribution towards a retirement account. You don’t think about that kind of stuff at $20 an hour
