            The forecast dropped the temperature, but the local report ignores this; it’s up to 97 degrees on the most accurate station (KSCGREEN289) and we’re showing 98 degrees at KSCGREEN250, 100 degrees at KSCGREEN373, and 99 degrees at KSCGREEN380, plus it’s showing 94 at the Downtown Greenville Airport on a slightly older reading from Weatherbug.com, 97 degrees from Yahoo Weather, Accuweather is also showing 97 degrees; I conclude that the forecast was wrong!

            The only places in the state where it’s much cooler than what we have are right at the seacoast; otherwise the rest of the state is current at or over 95 degrees today.

                Despite the low to moderate chance of rain we did have an early evening storm and we have the possibilities of seeing several more over the next week.

                  Yeah, it was a “slight chance” yesterday too, and we got a
                  doozie of a storm for a while, but the heat evaporated quite
                  a bit of it before we went to bed later in the evening.

                      @rokytnji some of these “general purpose” weather forecast tools are just that, “general purpose”. It’s really necessary to have good, local “meteorologists”, weather forecasters that can interpret the weather.
                      TWO days in a row we’ve had less than a 50% chance of rain, yet two days in a row we’ve had some short, but fairly intense rain storms, so that’s why I suggest that qualified people have to review this data.

                      Oh boy! I was looking for the letters and numbers that good forecasters can interpret; instead, I found stuff about REAL meteors supposedly spotted!

                      https://www.wyff4.com/article/fiery-ball-south-carolina-video-meteorite/65210072

                      Wrong spelling; this is it:
                      “METAR (METeorological Aviation Report) reports weather information for an airport.”

                      “TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) reports weather forecast information. They are valid for 30 hours and are generally issued every 6 hours.”

                      So there you go! The Plymouth State Weather Center at Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire, about 40 minutes from the area I once lived in, has a program of study in this area; I’ve been reading their forecasts since the 1990s. https://vortex.plymouth.edu/

                      So I’m going to do more checking of WYFF, Channel 4, Greenville, SC to get better weather forecasts because these people, #1, have degrees in both Weather Science and in Communications, because they intended to be radio and/or television weather personalities. Chris Justice is one of our local weather experts. His extended family owns an apple orchard on the North/South Carolina border, so they also watch and know weather as farmers of the land; Chris took that interest, got degrees in broadcast communications and weather; that’s how you get the best forecasts.

                      So with that: https://www.wyff4.com/news-team/e93d66eb-b60d-49dd-a201-5c4045116318

                      73 ° F – BIG drop in temp since the rain!
                      Today
                      Some passing clouds. A stray afternoon thunderstorm is possible. Low near 70F. Winds light and variable.
                      Tonight
                      Some passing clouds. A stray afternoon thunderstorm is possible. Low near 70F. Winds light and variable.
                      Tomorrow
                      Generally sunny despite a few afternoon clouds. A stray afternoon thunderstorm is possible. High 91F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

                          It’s cooling down now, and these weather forecasts, EVEN with a low “probability” of precipitation, DO continue to state that “A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible” tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night.

                          Despite the “low probability”, based on what I’ve seen, I think it’s more likely, for the next several days, that we DO get periods of showers and thunderstorms!

                            Well. They have had the rain forecast right enough for me.

                            Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.
                            I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
