It is created when cool, sinking air from a storm's downdraft spreads out and forces warm, moist air ahead of it to rise, cool, and condense

Big boomers heavy rain

I slept through whatever happened last night. Garden was wet again and the potatoes and garlic are doing well. Hopefully early next week is the last below freezing and I can get more food plants out. Re: the front lawn; if it's green as they drive by @20 mph I'm good with it. I mow often enough, haven't fertilized or watered it in 30 years but I do "harvest" the seeds from the unmowed backyard and spread them, but that's the extent of the maintenance.

Got the lawn's first haircut done this afternoon. Now let's do this.
-
Yet another watch that's just shy of the metro; getting almost comical at this point.
-
These shelf clouds seem like a very common occurrence if that is one…? What makes a shelf cloud, a shelf cloud?
-
Of course they're drying up as they approach.

Possible tornado last night a couple of miles from me. NWS sent a team out to survey. https://www.wcax.com/2026/04/17/nws-surveying-thunderstorm-damage-williamstown-friday/ https://www.mynbc5.com/article/nws-tornado-investigation-williamstown-vermont/71051947

Mini shelf cloud headed towards work in Danielson

The early season lawn flowers are now in bloom !! A few photos for all to enjoy:

77 degrees is August? Am I missing something?
-
Destructive sunshine storms!
-
Muted a bit, but good to see that it did materialize.
-
It's reached the point in leaf-out where the breeze sounds different. With the temps, very summery vibe.
-
Storms really firing up. Skies getting very dark and winds are howling at times.
-
Well I'd attach a low rest screenshot of radar but you can't even do that now.
-
Downpours missing me just a few miles to the west. Too bad because it's so dry out there. However these downpours today are so tiny that they probably wouldn't have helped very much anyway. I'm having to water my broccoli and romaine lettuce plants almost every day with this warm dry pattern. I hope we're not going back into the drought, but it appears that there's a good chance it's going to happen. Not much rain in sight.

Wow what a refreshing afternoon this has turned out to be up here. Currently at 77 with some clouds and a wonderful WNW wind blowing. Had lunch out on the deck as we opened it up early.
- Today
-
Some big boomers scattered about by me.

100%. Folks get silly sometimes. April through mid May is always a crapshoot. Even late May can sometimes SUCK!
-
i'd argue a solid moderate risk area will end up being needed/verifying for wind and qlcs tors. sometimes the spc forgets that their forecasts are coverage based.

not sure what people are expecting...yeah sure this week was great but we're not staying in the 70's and 80's this time of year.

You can see what they're talking about on the SPC meso page in the 700mb and visible sat. I might add there's a very impressive dry line trying to out run the front in W/NW Iowa SW MN. I think any SUPS in IA. IL, WS will seed there as this area tries to race E ahead of the front. It's pretty prominent and has upper level help coming in behind it.
