Because it's not near 80 plus in mid April, 60 isn't that far fetched for this time of year. I hope your getting these downpours up on top of Mt Tolland Kevin do you can really enjoy the dews later today Remember the big hairy visitor you had last year? Well they like the same weather you do.

Big boomers now..

Yeah this complex almost looks like a mini meso vortex on the last few loops. Areas just to my south, esp west of Plymouth are getting hit hard right now. Very impressive stuff for mid April!

Not a drop of rain again as expected on the south shore. Needed to be at least 30 miles north of the city for anything tonight. .

Heavy rains and lightning, like a late summer storm out there. Woke both my wife and I from a dead sleep. Surprised this isn't warned.

How is NO One talking about this? Even the NWS is saying nothing, but the Radar looks like a freaking Kansas Supercell, and outside right now LOOKS like a Kansas thunderstorm.

Got to 91 here

Four 9-hole rounds in so far. Last week was a little sketchy, I'm hitting the ball much better this week after summer adjustments. Mon, 40. Tues, 38. Let's see what tomorrow morning brings. Looking to walk 9 holes 4-5x per week. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro XL using Tapatalk

MDT tied its record high.

Took the thruway from Kingston around 9pm tonight and got treated to an awesome light show to the south.

too warm inside, having trouble sleeping. usually not a problem in mid-april

I planted tomatoes today. It will probably frost here early week, but I'm going to cover and cross my fingers. It's the earliest I've ever planted frost sensitive plants.

Midday Monday will probably be a chilly wake up call.

High of 91 for day and season

Another 0.66" this evening brings the total for today to 1.32", and 5.56" for April. Have had 5.97" since the last day of March.

We're not getting the refreshing cold frontal passages, as used to be summer breaks from heat/humidity for a few days. And with fewer of these frontal refreshers seems also fewer thunderstorms/severe weather episodes punctuating their passage.

Summer like night. Temps near 70, dews over 60, storms popping on radar.

Lots of flashes and thunder with the storm rolling through, but absolutely no wind and all the lightning seemed to be cloud to cloud. Odd. Not much rain either.

Here's the verification

Torrential thunderstorm here...lots of lightning

That's crazy It's almost like US Air Force forecasters Fawbush and Miller, who got hit by a tornado at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma on March 20, 1948. Then, in the next days, they looked at the maps. They predicted a tornado on March 25! Then it happened. And then the US Weather Bureau stopped banning the word "tornado" and started to learn how to forecast them, leading to the first establishment of the office that we now call, the SPC.

I could see just west of the city getting clipped. South and east of there not so much .

Play it

Seems like we could be getting rain chances next week starting wednesday through Saturday .
