All Activity

Looking back 115 years ago tomorrow, 4/25/1910, Atlanta had an absolutely amazing event: 1.5” of snow!!! The high on 4/25/1910 was only 39! After March 26th (going back to 1879), they have had highs below 40 only three times: 39 on 4/3/1987, 36 on 4/5/1891, and 39 on 4/25/1910. So, the 4/25/1910 very cold high really stands out in the record books for how late it is. This accumulating snow so late in April could easily be a once in several hundred year event and could even be a once in a thousand year event. The old Atlanta newspapers that I read (on microfiche at the public library) and copied forecasted rain and warmer temperatures on April 25th, not snow and colder. April 24th was 18 BN (high of 56 and low of 38) and they thought that that was to be the coldest day of the cold snap. So, this was a big surprise even to the meteorologists!

I'm over-performing by a lot, up to 24C/75F - warmest day so far of 2025. The clouds stuck around a bit longer than I'd like til 2:30 now mostly sunny. First I've felt very warm doing activities out there too.

up to 72.5 here now

It’s kind of weirdly calm right now. I’m sitting in the backyard and it’s pretty toasty. Having grown up here, on warm spring days we are usually ripping 30 knots watching low clouds race by overhead by 4pm.

there's nothing better than no wind during allergy season! no allergies at all for me today!

This might be one of those years

The best type of days… 72F off low of 30F. A 42 degree diurnal range.

I’m af Sapwood if any Columbians are around.

Was 74, now 70

Even up here it's dead calm

I’m in south wantagh right now a few blocks from the bay and no sign of the Ambrose jet. Sometimes it just doesn’t happen.

Affirmative.

I appreciate your apology.

But we have air conditioning to cool down lol. Nothing better than the rush of hitting triple digits outside though.

I peaked at 76 degrees and now down to around 72.

The seabreeze is a beautiful thing when inland they are broiling.

Wind here is now SSE and now 70 off a high of 73.

Textbook example right now. Harbor seabreeze from Quincy to 128/90 and NNW to almost Lowell.

80F high, great weather Nothing going on with the space weather

Only added .15 the last 30 hours or so. Hoping we finally get a good soaker soon.

Detroit city temps are absolute fake garbage. I have told you many times, many non-first order stations have calibration issues that are left unattended. They arent the importance of a first order station (like DTW). The Detroit city thermometer has ran a little warm for a while, but it went bonkers in a week or two ago, running some 5-6F too high. DTX finally had the thermometer fixed a few ago per the coop leader.

There’s nothing better then walking out of your apartment and being on the beach. If I were wealthy I would have a lb condo, and a mountain house at 2,500’ in the southern greens.

The avg temp, which obviously is the main metric, ranks as a 2-way tie for 40th warmest year to date (Jan 1-Apr 24), so 39 years were warmer and 111 colder. The avg high temp ranks as a 3-way tie for 25th warmest, and the avg low ranks as a 4-way tie for 58th warmest. Obviously, this is entirely due to March/April (mostly March). I am not a fan of doing random rankings on a given day, its better to let each month play out. Jan-Feb ranked as a 2-way tie for 54th coldest at Detroit, meaning 53 years were colder & 97 years were warmer. The highs were a tie for 58th coldest & lows a tie for 53rd coldest.

screen-20250424-152946~2.mp4 Got a bit smokey here in past hour. Not sure if it's that plume coming from Bourne. Could be base related edit: it's a controlled burn on the base..how kind of them

Looking at the positive side if this is the case... I'm looking forward to us getting Cedar Rapided with 100-140+ mph wind gusts.
