Unfortunately, we now know we're at peak season... She who must not be named and He who must not be named have the same anniversary date, which is right around this time.
For pro mets: Is there a connection between this intense heat of the last few days and the development of tropical systems later on? You kind of figure something has to give.

FWIW the extended for our area of SE LA calls for increased chance of showers and storms for Friday into Tuesday, in the 60 to 80 percent range. Would that mean there isn't much left of a ridge to spare us from any tropical mischief?
We're trying... but whenever we see something in the tropics in the Caribbean this time of year it starts to trigger our spidey senses... we can't help it... we can only hope for the best
Know what really pisses me off about this already? Wherever this develops and goes, it’s gonna flood a lot of people who refuse to get flood insurance because they don’t live in a “flood zone”. Then we’re all going to have to watch news stories documenting how the victims just don’t know what they’re gonna do now, financially. Happens every single time. Even here in the BR area after all the floods since 2016 we still have people refusing to buy flood insurance then being wowed by how high the water gets. Nobody has any excuse to not have flood insurance unless you live at the tip top of a mountain.
No I will not donate to your trashy godundme page because my money is already spent on my insurance premiums.
End of rant.
Geez, and I was going to beg for money to go to Greece. Thanks a lot.
Kidding, of course. I agree and basically, if you live in south Louisiana, it's foolish not to have flood insurance - we have water fricking everywhere, including the largest River in the country. It's pretty inexpensive especially if you happen to flood and lose your home. Homeowners ain't gonna cover it.
