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.

Wow, nice rain events within days of each other, feel like we won the lottery

2009 was the last average temperature summer in Philly against the 1951-2000 mean. This was the first slightly cooler winter in Philly since 2015-2016. So it’s pretty representative of the wider trends across the region and nation.

Wow impressive #5!

The map I posted above updated- I guess its linked. It looks less impressive for tomorrow than when I posted it.

Back from Sanibel. Meh to mass lol. Went to Fort Myers beach before our flight home last evening to kill time. They are definitely slower to recover vs Sanibel. There were a lot of lots that you could tell were wiped clean and not rebuilt. A few dilapidated structures still remaining as well. Sad to see on such a nice beach. Real estate is still really high priced as well which surprised me. I thought it would be a little cheaper, but I guess not.

lol at the LIV golf debacle, love to see it. Reports are they are now postponing a tournament in Louisiana in June.

30.9 at KFOK and 45 here in Lynbrook. Same island extreme differences in radiational cooling. .
