Holy moly that overperformed

I finished #6 yesterday. And that's a solid six...it's not like I'm out there mowing nothing. My yard has been going nuts for weeks.

GSP forecast from this morning through Thursday evening below. .37 for all 3 days. My ACTUAL rain just this morning only and just so far: .82 I love me some over performing!

All these offices incurred staffing losses when we made 'merica fuckin' awesome agin'. I'm sure SPC, being under the NOAA umbrella, are in a similar situation where top-down imposed cuts erode their abilities? This facet of the times we are in ...hasn't gone away. Yet we keep having these post where we are surprised this and that. No ... we are not surprised. What we all are is disconnected, in all aspects of the reality we create at a civilization level, from the consequences of our collective actions - apparently..

My parents live about 20 miles south of Ft Myers-while they had some flooding at the Naples Beach the city was largely spared the damage just to the north. Amazing how 20 miles makes all the difference if you're not in the eyewall.

most of that is well to our west.

I have considered this. Perhaps I should, then May's not suck anymore

Where'd the big rainy pattern go-Upton has showers Wed night/Thurs AM and then nothing through the weekend

Well what a surprise we have this morning. Not adding up to much yet in CLT, but thats better than the 0 that was forecasted for this AM. Lets see what happens tomorrow too.

You should start counting down to June 1st because every May is shiat

56 degrees and cloudy.

3 days left

free of frost concerns here but a naso great mid range outlook

Looking ahead we are going to have frost potential as late as May 10th. I'd hold off planting a garden for a good 12+ days. Even if the frost is light/patchy the plants probably wouldn't grow much anyway with these cooler temps.

Oh my god, Ditty, look at that PDS watch, it is sooo big

That event was the biggest tornado outbreak that I can remember. The only other event that even comes close in my mind was April 16-17, 2011. Both events even spun tornadoes up into our area.

Glad we didn't install.

I like big busts and I cannot lie?

Second big bust this year

0.38" at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading! Most since 4/2 when 0.51 fell. Brings monthly up to 1.41", still over 2" below normal. Currently 48.8/47.6 at 8 am with very light rain falling.

I was initially shocked to see the PDS tornado watch, especially given it was south of where the best overlap of ingredients seemed to be and even south of the moderate risk which was for the higher tornado probs. I wonder if the lack of upper-level forcing was a big culprit in this...those situations are always a challenge because too much forcing (or too strong) and you'll have convection developing all over the place making it difficult for convection to become mature enough and utilize the environment fully. Probably should throw in capping too...that EML may have been a bit too strong (coincident with the weaker forcing). This may have been a huge issue even in Missouri...many of those cells were really trying to take off but something was impeding those updrafts from really taking off.

WB 0Z EPS keeps it cool through mid May. Next long range rain chance toward the end of next week.

WB 0Z EPS keeps Saturday system to the south.

WB 9Z NBM for Wed.

I know the guy from Scituate showed those trees, but leaf out processing nicely here. Need to mow.
