About 0300 this morning we had a small thunderstorm pass through. I was at the camp, and looking forward to some good fireworks, but it didn't amount to much. It did lead a cool front in though. Much nicer today. At 1955 it's clear, 80F with 56% humidity. Low of 64F with no chance of rain tonight.

80s early, then hail in the afternoon.
Tuesday when I was driving Sister in from the airport, I was telling her about the hail in your neck of the woods.

It was in the low 50's when she got on the plane in Denver, low 90's when she landed in Panama City. Both her and the grand niece are suffering. They've spent most of their time in the river so far.

The problem with your neck of the woods is that rain doesn't seem to cool things down much.

thank you, I just learned a bit about wind shear. Tornadoes are strengthened by speed wind shear, where the higher you go, the stronger the wind in the same direction. But it seems wind shear protects against hurricanes. Interesting.
Sheer pulls away some of the power. Several days before Micheal made landfall, the talking heads at wunderground were saying this storm is not acting normal. The sheer is not reducing wind speed like it should. So I had thought it might turn to be a bad one. {not as bad as it actually was}

Turns out there are two types of wind shear. Directional shear and "speed shear". I think a good example of directional shear is when we see the anvil top of a thunderhead sheared off by high upper level winds.

It does for a while, but then it just increases the steam effect.
You have to start with low humidity for evaporative cooling to be effective lol

Florida is the only place I know where I can step out of the swimming pool and not get chilled because of evaporative cooling lol
