Congrats on the crumbs

Quietly hitting 82 in DC Sunday

Looks like weather.us …also, wouldn’t this be up there with some of the most powerful strikes ever recorded? At least around here? Average is like 30kA right? I did NOT think there were any unique atmospheric variables at play last night.

Wow what a night (unexpected!) I shall dub the mystery bolt as the “Brunswick Boomer!” Both my weather stations with lightning detection picked it up, somehow with fairly accurate distances too (10mi from my Middleburg station near goose creek, 16mi from my Catharpin station towards Manassas.) Then I was woken up again to lots of lightning and thunder as the training storms eventually aligned with me, and I got that impressive cell for a good 10 minutes (peaked out at just under 1”/hr .3 total, nothing too wild. These were some pretty impactful storms, especially the training action. There wasn’t so much as a single peep about any of this in the forecast discussion from LWX, just the showers earlier with the fropa around the evening commute. What an exactly happened from a meteorological perspective? Aren’t things usually pretty dry and stable hours after a front has passed?

It is a rare occurrence to see a severe hail only event in East TN.

I miss snow. Spring sucks.

Slight risk extended well into Central Pa. There's no written mention in their outlook about what they expect in our area. Nws did update their discussion at 1:45am, but that discussion still said that the Spc was painting a marginal risk ,1 out of 5 through most of central Pa. However, you can clearly see that Spc expanded the slighg risk into cpa in there 1:01am update, so I decided not to post the latest nws forecast discussion. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html

-Phoenix has set new (or tied) daily records highs 28 times during the last 365 days. -94 of the 366 days have record highs there set in 2023-6 due mainly to CC but with UHI also being a factor although UHI is normally more of a factor for warm lows. -There are a mere 3 record lows set since 1980!

AI GFS did a damn good job here with these temps as the high was indeed in the lower 60s for Chicago on the 19th with 70s in Iowa and 50s in Detroit, very impressive given the lead time. And of course, the cold shot ended up being confined to just the 18th, unsurprisingly.

What app did you use to get this information? I would love to be able to look this kind of stuff up.

Finished Friday with .36" of rain

I am up in Altoona for the weekend and saw the Special Weather Statement come in for that one. Looking at radar looks like my house got the east side of it.

Flagstaff is the biggest crushing records in the area. Sedona, AZ is nearly 5000' and look at their forecast! 7-Day Forecast 34.87N 111.77W

thunder and lighting for the last 30 minutes with more to come.

Looks like maybe up to an inch in a few spots Monday AM....back to check-out.

Heavy heavy freezing fog. Yikes.

Not expected to get out of the 40s here tmrw.

Bright lightning and thunder

GWDTLT

Yuma’s hottest on record in March prior to 2026 was 102. Yesterday was 106 and today was 109!! The earliest 109+ prior to today was May 2nd (1947) when it hit 111!!

It's gotta cool off, right? Euro AI: "Hold my beer. The gates of hell open in 10 days."

The new hottest in CA in March as shown above is 112. That’s only 1 short of the April hottest!

Early April looks like it could be insane. Not a forecast, but just a glance at what could happen. This is literally nuts for a 6-day mean.

Yeah. A 401kA positive bolt would certainly do that.
