Joe,
It sure doesn't make sense to me. But then our weather forecasts have always seemed off to me. I saw in the paper this morning that the farmers here are hoping the Federal Govt. will help them out as they are having to pay so much for hay because of the drought they can't sell their cattle for enough to break even as the costs would be passed on to the consumers and they are afraid everyone will quit eating beef and start eating chickens.
Also they had two house fires close to me and things are so bad they had the forestry fire planes dumping retardant on them and the area around them to make sure no fire got to the brush. That is unheard of to call out those planes for a house fire.
