I just gotta say, as a tiny-shop, indoor-outdoor hobby woodworker, this weather forecast SUCKS!

I know, Texas, springtime, blah blah.

Just looking at the rain chances pretty much every day for 10+ days has me depressed. Have to roll some tools out onto the driveway to use the shop.

C'mon weather gods, I wanna make sawdust.

I’m loving this weather and my plants are too.

Don’t believe the forecast, it’s regularly wrong to some extent. It’s pretty normal in Dallas for it to not rain at all when the forecast calls for it.

The National Weather Service cuts under this administration have also led to significantly less accurate weather forecasting. I’d take the forecast with a grain of salt!

The last few months have been the worst as far as reliable weather forecasting.

Max Velocity on YouTube has the best and most accurate forecast. He even goes live during storms and stays live with you until the threats have passed. He has never given me bad forecast.

I don't think you understand forecasts.

That’s not specific to Dallas, that’s just weather forecasts

I just planted a new garden, so I am loving this weather. Don't have to water every day, and hopefully things get established by the time it gets stupid hot in the summer.

The people crying about rain now will be the ones complaining the loudest when it gets hot and dry.

I want rain until July if possible. This will produce less 100 degree days.

lost_in_trepidation@reddit

A repeat of last summer where June is pretty moderate and rainy would be nice.

[-]

Dallas2houston120@reddit

yep if that is the trend going forward I will be pretty happy

I know we need rain, but can it please just rain when it's convenient to me? ;-)

ApprehensiveAnswer5@reddit

This is always my whine, so I feel you 🤣

Like WHY DOES IT HAVE TO RAIN DURING SCHOOL PICK UP AND DROP OFF? That’s already a shitshow on its own.

Please rain between like 9am and 2pm on weekdays. Kthxbye

You'll be begging for this in 2 months when we get 3 straight weeks of 100+ degree desert heat.

[-]

Snobolski@reddit (OP)

Having been to deserts on many occasions, I assure you we do not get "desert heat" here.

[-]

Right_Bike_5416@reddit

Ya, it's actually worse. There's a dash of humidity in there, so it's 100 degrees that feels like 115.

[-]

Snobolski@reddit (OP)

"a dash of humidity" LOL I'll remember to call it that in August when I've sweated thru my 3rd set of clothes in one day. "Just a dash of humidity" hahahahahaha

[-]

FlightyTwilighty@reddit

"a dash" as compared to Houston perhaps haha

[-]

I feel ya. Been waiting a few weeks and I have a vintage car that’ll be ready by end of week. If a hailstone touches it, it’s totaled. 😆 we are building a shop very soon but not going to be up for another few weeks.

[-]

mylinuxguy@reddit

and it's just going to be extra humid with these rain chances too.... so hot AND extra humid.

[-]

Snobolski@reddit (OP)

Nice!

I'm with you, worked all my life (especially hard the past 5 years) to purchase my dream vehicle. A 1978 Toyota FJ40. It was a resto half way done and the owner just lost steam, got a good deal on it. I have a storage shop for it and all the parts/tools, but no heat or ac. Kinda hard to work with the door open when its theres a constant threat of rain.
