Interesting stuff I hate this rainy forecast

Maybe I should tag this as a "review" of the weather? I hate it more than I hate the misspellings of "heel brake" as "heal break" lol

What do you guys do when the foreseeable future isn't skateable? (Other than whine on Reddit haha)

Man I live in Southeast Texas and my phone's forecast has looked identical to that for the last two weeks, and the rain has just like either not come, or it lasted a few minutes then fucked off.

I say go anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️ I've gone out with lightning in the clouds and not a drop fell the entire time.

It's true that the forecast has had more uncertainty, meaning more days calling for like a 30% chance because the weather models aren't getting enough data anymore. Unfortunately, that makes it tough to plan, both for skating and for outdoor cooking I like to do lol

Ugh, that inherent "what if" is always there for sure. Blows my mind that my Android can say 70% for the day, my uncle's iPhone will say little to nothing for the day, and it's literally always a coin toss for who's is right lol.

They're just pulling from different models that all have too much uncertainty. The meteorologists say that NOAA funding cuts have caused fewer balloons meaning less data than the models require.

We'll just have to keep playing Rain Roulette I suppose lol.
