Top ten day Arctic blue sky

Few showers moving through....

Give him a pass. Those early morning garbage trains stacking up nearby can really do a number on a guy!

Actually had some good storms up here along the front after the late afternoon clearing. Some transient supercell structures, lots of lightning and some gusty winds

must have been the 0z GFS-the 6z is way south and OTS

Scott would rather have this! As In bring out the BIG GUNS!

Too much AM convection likely the culprit. That can be overcome though it conditions are ideal, like April 27, 2011, but so often is mucks up the low-levels,

You know as well as I do that calling my posts ludicrous was a political statement by itself. It is cowardly to then turn your tail and run when confronted by making an accusation. Either stay silent or be prepared to answer for your remarks - I am not the one who brought "political stuff" up... unless you think the claim that curiosity and engaging with others is inherently "woke"

Yeah I've got an inch already this morning.

A really nice steady rainfall after the storms moved through.

Painful watching that line disintegrate moving into central NC but models all called for it to happen

From Uptons discussion: .KEY MESSAGE 3... The next chance for unsettled weather could come this weekend with a passing offshore low. The GFS and ICON are more aggressive showing phasing of the northern and southern stream with a surface low deepening off the Mid-Atlantic coast. This would bring better chances for seeing wet weather and windy conditions. Both the ECMWF and GDPS are either offshore or weaker with this system, so there is plenty of uncertainty. Stuck with NBM slight chance PoPs for now, since even the more aggressive scenarios bring the low a little too far offshore.

Nice to see more typical products popping up in NC, but also in big portions of the SE. Of course, lighter rains would be more beneficial.

I picked up 2” overnight which was a bit of a surprise. This on top of the 0.19” rain from earlier in the afternoon.

What the hell is that RAMBLING BS in the prior post? Holy smokes what utter nonsense.

Low of 43, glad I turned the heat back on.

55 / 38 clear (for now) Clouds arriving by noon / early afternoon. Still think we'll push rain totals 0.50 - 1.50 in places but most between 05 and 1.00 inches Wed into Thu. Thu / Fri kind of a repeat of Mon/Tue in reverse Overall cooler pattern - clouds Saturday and still watch for unsettled progression. Trough into the east now to persist towards the first week of May. Moderation towards mid May. Could be looking at a 2008 style May.

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? That'd be my high confidence guess, considering there's been articles written about how staffing cuts lent to poorer hurricane this and that, too... It's a pervasive problem that we the mouth breathers, in order to form a more perfect union, had the audacity to believe would get us anywhere closer to that description. 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.. This can be easily proven. Well, by this shit above... But it can be proven by the predicament of anthropomorphic -induce CC and the enabled, unabashed denialism ... which really is so detached from objective reality - well, put it this way, that same compos mentis voted a convicted felon to be president. 'Nough said. It can be proven by everything in between. This is also part of the most probable Fermi Paradox explanation, "where is everyone" ( meaning civilizations in the cosmos). Probably every advancing civilization in the universe hits this dilemma eventually. Most fail the test. The rest of the missing likely related to the fact that a single light year's worth of physical distance is so vast it too greatly exceeds human capacity to dimensionalize just how far that is - viable worlds are separated by too many 10s to definitely too many thousands of them. Civilizations innovate the ability to survive in this seemingly, universally constructed isolation...("agency" tongue-in-cheek), and that innovation then exceeds the background trials and tribulations of the pure biological-Darwinian requirement, -----> resting in relative affluence is unavoidable as Nature, including all life, abide the universal physical Law of Least Action. Such that the Law of Lessening Returns kicks in. Apathy and sloth take over. This creates a nonchalance to morality and virtuosity, too. This enabling to flout advice and act sort of recalcitrant to the objective reality and truth that our grand kids are less likely to survive ( ironically...), than we are, due to ecological breakdowns that apparently have to fuckin' happen before the 90th percentile dipshits admit it... won't be obvious until we all see them dropping dead. Basically ... culminating in a veritable carelessness with dad's species gun scenario. That'd be a cool scene in a sci fi cinema, whence interstellar aliens happen by our solar neighborhood and detect a world with bio-markers... so, they come check it out. What they find makes Shelley's "Ozymandia" the best metaphor to describe.

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
