bakosphere - > Bakosphere -> No more triple digit days this year?
No more triple digit days this year?

Today, meteorologist Miles Muzio from KBAK Channel 29 posted his prediction for "No More 100" days on his blog at BakersfieldNow.com. He cites a trend of "trofiness" (I can't find a definition of this word) and medium- and long-range computer models. He also says his "No More 100" forecasts have never been wrong since he started them in 1990.

Now, summer is nearly over. The first day of fall is on Monday, Sept. 22. However, we all know that the Kern County Fair brings with it a final hurrah — a last blast of heat as if we were sticking our faces in the Twinkie deep fryer.

And, true fall weather likes to wait around here until the end of Daylight Saving Time and the eve of Halloween.

So do you believe Muzio's forecast? Are we over the 100-degree hump? Or is it wishful thinking?

I remember one day in late October of 2005 it was 94 degrees. The heat seemed like it would never go away that year.

How about a nice 74 or 75 degrees with a breeze?

I remember that year well because I was pregnant with my daughter. I thought I'd have it easy since she was due in October. I was wrong. It was still very hot when she was born. Since then, it hasn't been bad. She had an outdoor birthday party last year and will have another one this year. Hopefully we won't see any rain like we did the first birthday. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Folks, the difference between 97 degrees and 100 is miniscule.  I think i'ts more a state of mind than actual temperature.  Ever notice that, even though the temp is the same, it has a different feel to it.  A softer feel.  Maybe it's because we know it's losing it's grip on us, or maybe because it really is a softer feel, but which ever....I'm ready. 

Now if they could just find a way to keep the longer evenings so that I didn't feel the need to go to bed by 8 when the time changes.

100 degees in the first part of october is just shy of a lead pipe cinch.  it has happened 4 times in the last 10 years.....dont get your hopes up

 

however, last october, the first weekend of it, to be exact, we had a low pressure move in, and i was able to leave for Vegas, drive there, stay the weekend, and drive back, without ever having to turn the AC on in the truck...now thats incredible

To find a definition of the word "trofiness," Jennifer, you and Miles would have to know that it's spelled "troughiness." Dictionary refers to a weather-related trough as "an elongated area of low barometric pressure."

I just want to give Miles a thumbs up for being a decent and knowledgeable weatherman, without all the stupidity for stupidity's sake antics of someone like Lloyd Lindsay.
