not to be a douche but I warned ya. It said this couple whatever days ago that it's very precarious given both our climatology, but the season's persistence/behavior, to sustain a stationary boundary with +PP running E of Ontario without it collapsing S. It may even go back N... ? sure. I just would be duly impressed if we actually got 5 or 6 days in a row of 70+ weather. Not given our climatology of mid April alone, but then including the way persistence has also been over the last 7 month, heh. That'd be pretty fantastic

Yore!

Yeah, I mean anecdotal and not trying to bait some warming discussion… but I genuinely remember being a lifeguard in high school at some local municipal pools and we’d sit in the office with the one computer hooked up to the Internet and look at Steve LaPoint’s WRGB forecasts for Albany (one of the first Mets with online forecasts in the area)… he’d post those charts and if it went above 60F dews we’d know the pool would be busy. Feels like it used to live in that 55-65F range for vast potions of the summer.

I removed the cover for the a/c compressor. If need be sleeping comfort is a touch screen away. But it’s way too early to expect consistent warmth around here.

This was made by someone in Tolland

SPC now has 30% risk for large hail in Minneapolis tomorrow

“Tropical” wasn’t even a thing.

This is officially the driest year to date at RDU in history

This, is one of my more favorite Gen Z tracks,

Mammoth got 18 inches. Palisades got 24 inches. Snow is still falling. Buda got about 7 inches of MISSED RAIN. The huge line moved northeast and severe drought is assured for Buda. We got missed. Par for the Course per usual. This happens all the time. Dry as a vile popcorn fart and people moving in and the entire Kyle/Buda Metroplex is being constructed up far faster than Dubai in the past 50 years, in only 3 years. We are gonna run out of water. When we do, cost of the water will be extremely high and few will be able to afford it. South Central Texas will have to extensively process Gulf of Mexico water and this will cost everyday people so much that a very good thing will finally happen to Texas: Depopulation! Everyone will move to Redstone in Alabama where all the jobs are and they get a ton of rain. No one ever realized the frightening Magnitude of the Drought of the 21st Century in Texas. You gotta have the water to LIVE and water is going to be extremely expensive. Many folks will end up moving, to literally greener pastures in the Mid South where they get 90 inches of rain a year. I have been weeding mom's flowerbeds and I have never in all my born days, ever seen her rosebushes so short. In a normal year I have to clip 20 foot long branches of the rosebush up front. This year, nothing. We are shit out of luck. It's obvious its gonnabe a prohibitively DRY YEAR. Mid April and we have yet to mow the damn lawn. It's brown as a Thanksgiving turkey. They are gonnabe fining people in BUDA for watering lawns. This is in actuality a multiyear drought and this year we got so little rain its record BAD.

At least Thursday and Saturday. The whole week's trending in the wrong direction.

Good thing you like it.

Looks like another pretty good fire up by the Lehigh Tunnel this morning. I was coming home from the cabin upstate and there were about 20 fire trucks lined up on both sides of the tunnel.

Remember when we used to see those graphics in July and August? Now it’s comfy when the line gets near sticky and humid in July, ha.

12z gfs ruins Thu and Sat for here and ENE.

I know several places in Burlington have been doing controlled burns in the last week. Wanna say it was Wednesday I thought there was a brushfire along 295 but it was just a scheduled controlled burn. Dust pollen and smoke now, my allergies are the worst ever already.

Spring is inching its way N.

Actually next chance of any widespread rain may be a cold front moving through next Sunday/ Monday. WB 12Z globals:

0.42" of rain this morning with an overcast, drizzly morning. Precip started yesterday aftrn as a rn/sl mix before going over to all rain. Cold, damp wx. ISH!

WB 12Z GFS at Day 8....some things don't change

That seems like a road perfect for experiencing a NDE storm chasing Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

If it wasn't for the blooming trees I would think it's Fall...

April 12 1931: July-like temperatures are felt across the area with 90 degrees at Beardsley in west central Minnesota. For Sunday, April 12, 2026 1927 - A tornado wiped out the town of Rock Springs, TX, killing 72 persons and causing 1.2 million dollars damage. The tornado, more than one mile in width, destroyed 235 of 247 buildings, leaving no trace of lumber or contents in many cases. Many survivors were bruised by large hail which fell after the passage of the tornado. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1934 - Winds atop Mount Washington, NH, averaged 186 mph for five minutes, with a peak gust of 231 mph, the highest wind speed ever clocked in the world. (David Ludlum) 1987 - A cold front crossing the central U.S. produced heavy snow in the Central Rockies, and severe thunderstorms over Kansas and Oklahoma. Snowfall totals ranged up to 16 inches at Red Mountain Pass CO. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 87 mph at Ponca City OK. Winds associated with the cold front itself gusted to 69 mph at Tucumcari NM. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Snow blanketed the Southern Appalachians. Totals in North Carolina ranged up to 17 inches at Mitchell. Winds at Flat Top Mountain gusted to 80 mph. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Twenty-two cities in the south central and eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date, including Elkins WV with a low of 15 degrees, and Baton Rouge LA with a reading of 37 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 1990 - Arctic air invaded the central U.S. Lincoln, NE, reported a record low of 17 degrees. Thunderstorms developing along the arctic cold front produced heavy snow in north central Kansas, wind gusts to 61 mph at Midland TX, and wind gusts to 69 mph at Rawlins WY. Warm weather prevailed in the southwestern U.S. Las Vegas NV reported a record high of 91 degrees, and on the 13th, Sacramento CA reported a record high of 95 degrees. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 2010 - One-inch diameter hail falls in Fresno, CA. Two condominiums are destroyed by thunderstorms in California's San Joaquin Valley. Up to three funnel clouds were also seen in the region. Note: That wind speed record was eclipsed on April 10, 1996 with Tropical Cyclone Olivia in AUS with a wind speed of 254 mph. But the Mt Washington record still stands as fastest non cyclonic/tornadic straight line wind. These are anemometer records. The fastest was a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) radar sig with the 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado between Oklahoma City and Moore, Oklahoma, 3 May 1999. Wind speed analysis of 321 mph.
