Steve Rudin said 0.5" to 1" tomorrow on the WJLA radio weather forecast...you can take that to the bank.

CON was just 50/3

Idk what came through here, but dews have absolutely crashed and it feels frigid with the breeze. 49/13 wtf is this

He’s got snow coming he said

Models are really drying up for central NC tomorrow. Keep in mind this area missed the rain this morning and generally had just 1/2” last weekend

This is what we get for a warm March.

His buds already have that leathery look.

72F today off a low of 33F. Just missed another 40 diurnal swing. Felt great wearing shorts past couple days.

Exactly. This year last freeze/frost is not that much different than in the past. If so, only by a little. No need to think fruit crops are in serious jeopardy. RedSky is turning into drought guy thinking the world will end if we're off by a little from average. Calm down and have some wine. Oh wait, you can't, the grape vines are destroyed from the freeze! May God help us....

Maybe by the end of May you'll start greening up.

radar from over an hour ago at Mineral Wells, TX

They say this is Mineral Wells TX

2.75" and 4.5" hail reports with this storm west of Cleburne

large tornado possibly on the ground

Grapefruit size hail reported from the fairly massive HP supercell ongoing just northwest of Cleburne. Already lots of hail reports today in NTX.

I was in St Charles. Based on the track of the storm, we were probably 3 miles or so from actual storm track. And we were clueless. We weren't watching a local channel on cable TV, so no storm warnings were popping up. Wasn't until my girlfriend called and ask if we were OK, and told me a tornado went through La Plata that we had a clue. I drove down to La Plata the next weekend when I went to visit my Dad that I saw the obvious track of the tornado. The utter destruction at 301 & Rt 6... A fast food restaurant with nothing left but a slab and about a foot of plumbing pipes sticking out of the concrete.

EPS has first half of May -6.5F

Last freeze and last frost are not the same. Just had a frost at 37F

Freeze killed my Japanese maple and redbud never seen that before.

I already posted it was the latest 24 and 25F for many area. The lower the temp the more it kills.

I have found a site that allows you to trade future monthly US Temperature IBKR ForecastTrader May is currently going for 62F. Over or under? +NAO March, which you pointed out as a huge anomaly rolled forward to this May pattern When something is counter-intuitive like that (instead of warm begetting warm), I take note of it as something going on in the evolution of pattern

They have been overly bullish the last few events. They were calling for up to 1.5 inches of rain. Now it's only .25 to .50 here. I think closer to .25 unless the a heavy cell or thunderstorm moves close by.

I saw wild things in La Plata. I talked to the father of some poor teenage girl that worked at the Taco Bell that got obliterated. She was standing next to him in shock still. He brought her back there so she could understand what happened. Her friend that worked there was still missing if I remember correctly. I have no idea how she survived unhurt. The only thing left was the stools that were bolted to the foundation. The tornado ripped the blacktop off 301 where it crossed. It was an EF5. I'll fight anyone that says different lol

This crap cold weather couldn't come at a worse time. The rubber band is going to snap back to mega heat just in time for the hottest part of the year. It's gonna be 110F DPs and derechos all the way down.

30-day SOI is below -10 for the first time since Feb 2024. It will need to average -10 for the next 2 days to hold that value for Apr - which is indicative of a healthy developing El Nino. Big switch from anomaly in March, where it was +7 and developing Nino's (>1.2 RONI peak) since 1950 had never been above +2
