I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.

Ya supposedly there's torrential rains and flooding across southern New England for the next two days but it's barely been a drizzle at my house in ne ct

Will you stop going crazy in there?

This was supposed to be me today but the part of CT I live in continues to have some kind of weather shield and the rest of the state is drowning under inches of rain while it lightly drizzles outside my window.

It has, however, been absolutely disgustingly humid these past two days. So that's something. Humidity is water.

National Weather Service has Redding at 114 °F Tuesday.

The modeling crisis is real, but day‐ahead forecasts aren’t that bad.

There could be a 120F but unlikely to be Redding. Here are temps of 110+ today.

Redding is about 500' higher than Sacramento, so it'll typically be about 3F cooler.
