A cooling trend is getting underway and it will culminate in a sharp cold shot early next week. tomorrow will see temperatures top out in the upper 60s. Sunday will be even cooler with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. A sharp cold shot is likely early next week. Highw will reach the middle 50s, while low temperatures fall into the upper 30s and lower 40s. Generally dry conditions will also persist through at least tomorrow. Some showers or thundershowers are possible Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. No significant rainfall appears likely through the foreseeable future. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.2°C for the week centered around April 8. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.30°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.07°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring. The SOI was +14.78 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.178 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 90% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 56.3° (2.6° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 3.3° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Huge nado in Wisconsin

Great news on today’s EW for short term drought relief 4/27-5/3: Yesterday’s run: Today’s run is even wetter:

This year has been a refreshing change from the chilly, wet Aprils we often get. The sunshine and low humidity is reminding me of 1985, the most pleasant April in my memory.

Another resident in town mPinged 1" hail near the shoreline EDIT: 0.75" hail

Or winter equivalent "DIAMOND DUST AT 30,000 FT!"

Update to the warm lows: we are now at 8 days with lows in the 60s. No other year in the entire period of record, KPIT or not, has had more than 5 through today’s date. Lastly, today is the 15th day of this year with a high of 75 or above, which is the most through today’s date, pulling ahead of 1945 which had 14. No other year had more than 9. The median number of 75 degree days through today’s date is 2.

Scott needs another 6/1/11 wicked CG supercell show like he had when living in Dorchester. Right, biggest svr wx day in years and he still has a Bruins playoff party at his house, and of course he loses power! I know, another "PC jolt" he got from the +CG strike some years ago!

Also with the window for measurable snow this month likely closed, the 0.2” we’ve received combined over the past 4 Aprils is the second lowest total April snowfall over a 4 year span (1945-1948 had just a trace in each year).

One benefit of the warm weather is that my plan to wake up and take pictures of the sunrise is a lot less chilly for tomorrow. Otherwise, its been a dry heat which is better than a humid one... though, any temperatures above 80 this time of year aren't ideal.

Raining here

Pea hail with hvy rain

northwest Illnois

St Joseph Missouri (next to Kansas)- hi-res radar is seeing this rotation

Good soaking rain falling. Link to the shelf cloud that was rolling south.

14 tornado warnings right now

Got up to 82 after first showers cleared. Than a nice line developed with a great looking shelf cloud. Getting gusty winds, lots of thunder and some rain. Very light compared to what I saw falling to my north.

2" on the ground here and still dumping. Pretty chilly for mid April.

Way ahead of here. The grass has been up a few days and there’s some clover growing in the pawpaw patch. But that about it. The forsythia is just starting to bloom.

Popped a quick 81 earlier with the offshore wind shift but clouds now and 77. That’s four days in the 80s

Oh it was brutal here trying to drive this morning,i thought something happened on I-65 but it was because of traffic lights being down from debris knocking them out,that was seemingly a nice microburst we saw here in Brentwood
