Every time we drive down to the beach, someone comments about how, in Florida, the easements and medians all along I-10 and I-75 are manicured and there is NO LITTER in sight. The interchanges have actual landscaping and trees (lots of palm trees). The rest stops are clean, modern and maintained. The welcome center is a landmark on its own. I’ve made the comment several times “In Florida, you see actual evidence of the tax dollars doing something. Something tangible. In Texas, everything just turned to trash”

Look at our freeways folks. There’s debris and trash everywhere. The easements are hardly ever mowed - they’re always overgrown with weeds and plastic bags. On the rare occasion they plant trees, half of them die off because they don’t water them. Somebody’s pockets are lined and there isn’t much to show for it, that’s for sure. It’s sad that we have so much growth and wealth in this state, and our public spaces, especially along the freeways, look so embarrassing.

Yeah, A. Texas = Bootstraps.

B. Florida receives rain in the summer.

I'm just sayin':











Kelvin wave?

DoctorMu looks like the CPC has bought in as well, fall is coming !

Possible bonus - a little EPAC moisture streaming post FROPA? Euro says maybe.

CMC is usually 10-15° too cold.

[Stratton20]

Cpv17 and the GFS and Euro tend to be too warm, i think the front will come in stronger than current model runs, happens almost every time

I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

Cpv17 na that front is coming, highs in the 80’s and lows in the 60’s is pretty much near guaranteed, setup is good, + PNA building over the western US should allow for some of that fresh cool air to make it down here

60’s and 80’s for sure will happen. Maybe upper 50’s to mid to upper 70’s for highs. But that’s not anything too unusual for the time of year.
