Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.

A charley horse in the middle of the night is one of the worst ways to wake up, and stretching it out while half asleep is never fun. Pickle juice has become my go to instead, and it's not just an old wives' tale, researchers have actually studied this one and found it works fast. 😊

David Benavidez might find that moving to heavyweight strips away everything that makes him effective. Stepping through 175 and cruiserweight before chasing the big men could easily backfire on a fighter who relies on physical advantages, high volume, and quick hand speed.
