I’m on the sofa. I’m still in pajamas. It’s the 4th of July. It’s a work day.
An email has already gone out to our 4:00 PM producer. She will make the decision, but I said I wouldn’t object to our leading with weather even though it’s partly cloudy and the radar is currently clear.
It’s a critical weather night. Tens of thousands of people will be out (hopefully) watching fireworks. I’m worried about natural fireworks!
So far the day has gone ‘as predicted.’ The rest of today’s forecast calls for scattered late afternoon and evening showers and thunder.
The storms should be done by 9:30 when most towns launch their fireworks. Unfortunately, ‘should’ is not necessarily ‘will.’
I can’t change the weather. My job is to give a heads up. That’s why forecasting from the sofa while in pajamas is what I do.
Geoff – always grateful for the heads ups!!My theory is that it usually has a forecast of thunderstorms July 5th due to the abundance of atmospheric interjections (new weather term) on the 4th. LOL! Hope you are enjoying the holiday anyway!
