Laaz or Millet, anybody else too but you two make the most sense to me usually.....I am looking at AccuWeather predictions and I am getting strange predictions that don't make sense to me for night time lows. On one night with predicted 8mph winds actual temp est. might be 24* F with a real feel est. of 28* F. Then on another night the act. Temp est. might be 28*F with low winds and a predicted real feel at night of 21*F. Very counter intuitive to me. I can't imagine real feel being higher than actual temp at night with no sun especially with a higher wind speed.

I guess I need to use predicted real feel for my warning to attempt my protection strategy . I have some big Sats and Meyers now and I don't want to get smashed. My frost cloth is not great in high winds and rain. I may have to step up to a green house like Atlas. Aren't they the best ? Thanks, Tom

I typed all this but it maybe terrible place for it, not sure where or how to move it, too old but glad to be here !

I personaly stopped using accu weather and stick to weather.com though not 100% accurate I have found local is more accurate than accu weather.. Checked accu weather and it said no parcipitation but would get snow next day.. (not to mention how off the temps are) I went outside and it was snowing.... *_* next day.. nothing.. I said that's it!! no more accu weather!! can't get temps right etc..
as for the feels like vs actual temps. I think it goes that if the plants are provided a wind block the feels like are not as big of a deal.. Part of feels like is the wind.. other part of feels like is the humidity in the air.. combined to create wind chill/ feels like.. These are also factors for heat index.. I hope Someone jumps in if I'm wrong..

Well the lower temp would be wind chill. I still don't get the actual temp of 28 but feels like 32...
