All Activity

Still, given how much the map was lit up with warnings, and all the places that were seemingly slammed per radar, I would have expected to see at least a bit more than 5 reports on the SPC pags. But I'm sure more (delayed) reports will gradually trickle in throughout the morning.

Eh everyone’s asleep. Heck my whole family is snoring right now

Not a drop, but watched a good light show to the north. Palatable bust.

69 MPH wind gust reported at DTW... Somewhat surprisingly (even for it being nighttime), the MI storm reports are quite sparse for now...

Oh boy there’s definitely something on the ground in Taylor. Not great

Chased the tornado warning here locally, it tried to produce one, had a very brief funnel cloud just outside of reading but in the time to open my camera app it petered out in between lightning strikes.

I was just awaken by another good cell at the front end of the LLJ convection. We got some small hail, wind, and very heavy rain, but nothing severe.

Today's HIghs: TEB: 89 EWR: 89 ACY: 88 BLM: 88 New Brnswck: 88 PHL: 88 NYC: 87 LGA: 86 HPN: 84 TTN: 84 JCK: 80 ISP: 78

Terrible flooding on the far NW side of the city

We don't need a flood, just a steady and soaking rain that totals about 1.5" regionwide. You could parse it out about 0.1" - 0.2" per hour over several hours.

Nice back build and mini train Cranking

You might be able to get another monster despite a very warm winter a la 2016

.04” rain tonight

Everything is training just north of me. Looks like a barrage. Nonstop lighting. Barely a drop here. Best atmosphere to chill outside or take a walk

13.6" is the daily record which still stands for April, but stm total does go to the 2018 event.

point and click is 94 tomorrow in D.C. Plenty of july 4ths have been cooler than that!

Spoke too soon for the north side...

Kind of reminds me of the tornado that crossed I-96 near Weberville on Aug 24, 2023. The bowing line segment swallowed a supercell that had formed out ahead, and it immediately produced a tornado.

Hugely lucky to have those two rounds of storms hit the farm in Fallston pretty flush. Really needed that bolt of fortune for the kinds of reasons EJ noted....

tornado warnings last 2-3 days

Chuck is right, the tendencies you base your ideas on are so small that its not even likely to be causal - its just noise. You literally can't even compare 30 El Ninos in 100 years to 30 La Ninas with reliable outputs because the groups are so small, one of 30 event behaving differently changes the outcome by 3% - that's massive. Saying the events are self destructive is kind of idiotic when the Neutrals are behaviorally very similar to very weak La Ninas. In that sense, the 2/3 scenario is..."Not El Nino", not 'self destruction'. Most La Ninas are actually not followed by El Ninos. Just look at the past 30 years: 1998 - no, 1999 - no, 2000 - no, 2007 - no, 2010 - no, 2011 - no, 2016 - no, 2020 - no, 2021 - no, 2024 - no. Only 2005, 2008, 2017, 2022, 2025 are. Its 2:1 against "self-destruction". If it favored self-destruction it'd be 2:1 the other way. El Ninos are similar too - 2002, 2003, 2014, 2018 were all followed by El Nino/near El Nino, only 2006, 2009, 2015, 2019, 2023 were not. That's basically dead even for 25 years not exactly assuring "self destruction" like you're implying. You're just fixated on noise

There is a tornado in Michigan

Airport reporting 80 mph gusts, also nasty looking tornado on the ground near Carson City

Tornado sirens here. Whatever it is, the circulation passed over, maybe a hair south of me. QLCS protrusion. Got a brief 60 mph gust. Just heavy rain and a few peas now.
