I didn’t think your area could even reach 90 on March 22. There are no guardrails anymore lol

AC definitely on. Not opening the windows. High of 90 at 4:43pm.

I refreshed my live stream link above . Its just rain and frogs on my pool cover . Would someone be kind enough to let me know the link, video, and sound is working on here? I don't have a working computer at the moment to look at my stream.

Just some snizzle out now,31/31F

We had the blizzard one month ago on this date

We had the blizzard one month ago on this date.

Went out to Annapolis today and it was amazing. 15 deg cooler along the water. Hancock low of 35 and High of 90 is crazy. We never get a diurnal of 55 degrees. I'm gonna have to take a look back and see when that last happened in the state.

So what would this mean asked google Gemini not really taking verbatim as to what they said with the photo I sent it .

Probably a good idea

Made it to 82 imby. Back to 72 now.

Snow 6 days ago, 88 degrees today.

Yep. Leaf out beginning in earnest up here on the high ridges of Silver Spring, for the earlier species. Like my black cherry. Redbuds are primed to pop. Cherries ready to go. Maples red and juicy.

Seems to be garden variety stuff here, but was kind of expected. Supposedly there were 10 strikes near my station, but I've not heard one rumble of thunder.

Don your view that what is happening now has never occurred before as always remains your blind spot!

It does. But it's worth noting that the Dust Bowl was not a solely natural pattern-driven or cyclical event. Human factors helped create the conditions that made the Dust Bowl possible. The underlying drought was real and it was likely sparked by internal variability. However, poor land management made it far worse than it would otherwise have been. Extensive plowing of native grasslands and exposed topsoil left the land highly vulnerable to wind erosion once rainfall diminished turning a dry period into a catastrophe. Overall, the Dust Bowl is a powerful analog for a climate-change-driven aridification scenario because it shows how prolonged drought, extreme heat, and depleted soil moisture can combine into a self-reinforcing phenomenon. One is already witnessing drought-heat feedback in the Southwest, which is likely in the early stages of aridification, as forecast on the climate models.

I was joking too btw… except the 30,000 days message was legit. Definitely not using a location-based screen name anymore though.

I finally got myself in good position and everything working. And everybody was gone. I'm under an overhang down the down the road at the moment I'll probably fire back up in case I catch any hail.

Good storms here.

https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/ is absolutely amazing but a maize. I turned all my notes and such into a detailed thorough guide which will show you how to use everything available on that site. First draft but enjoy!!!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M59tszF8on7NCKx5jDxjthuXuQ25QnML/view?usp=drivesdk Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Heavy rain with thunder & lightning in Marysville now.

Beautiful storm Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Another new link Definitely having a lot of bugs

I agree about the longevity of the current SW heat being very notable. Related to that, Phoenix has had a high today of at least 102 meaning 5 days in a row of 102+ after not having a single high >100 on record! But regarding longevity, doesn’t that bring the very long lasting 1930s dust bowl heat into the conversation?

Yes. This is a far more prolonged and more severe heatwave. Indeed, the five-day average high in Phoenix (103.8°) is above the April record five-day average of 103.0° from April 26-30, 1992. Nothing comes close to comparing to this March heatwave in the Southwest.

86.5 today was quite hot honestly. Not humid though. Watching the storms/rain progress slowly south.
