I’m not sure how they do things in Russia, but we don’t do that here. Kucherov is dead to me. Deport his ass.

Latest FL forecast vid - just a few bits on our winds and how the sausage is made. As always - hit me up with any feedback or any questions you might want me to address in future vids. I am here to serve you - so I welcome all questions/comments.

Order has been restored and the GFS is now looking more realistic for early next week. If you want to learn why, check out the vid.

And just like that, the 18z gfs trending away from previous forecast. I suspect we will see this smooth out further in subsequent runs.

Place your bets. Euro on the left, GFS on the right. Both have been consistent in their respective forecasts. There are times the GFS has done better. End of the day, ratings for some FL spots Monday may be too high.

WHOA!! Now this would be something. If something like this were to occur, South FL would be epic.

I've been trying to come up with a descriptive term for this cloud pattern. it's not quite fish (maybe if image is rotated?) and not quite honeycomb. I'm thinking 'Coral sky' might be a good descriptor - anyone know of any other descriptive terms for this?

We are in for quite a change starting this weekend. Latest vid forecast breaks it all down.

Some fun surf in the cards this week. Space/Treasure coasts are key areas with widespread good conditions. North of the Cape - need to watch location of the front.

I am sure Todd Bowles is a wonderful human. But he's gotta go. It's inexcusable the play of this o-line week after week. Mistakes galore - that's on the coaching. Time for a change - now.

Apparently bestiality no longer disqualifies one from becoming an FBI agent. Yeah - that's where we are at as a country.

Baker Mayfield past 3 years: 8th rtg 6th comp % 2nd yds 6th yds/game 2nd TD's Improve - sack # but that's misleading (shit line last year). And secure the ball. He's literally been well within the top 10. I don't get any Bucs fan saying he's not 'out guy'.
