All Activity

report of brief tornado by Mendota IL a while ago

Lot of energy Mets using last 10-20 years as baseline. 30 yr almost irrelevant. We accelerate warmth.

If I had to guess , I likely had my air conditioners installed for 3 weeks this year. Much prefer window fans if possible. I spend 90% of my waking hours outdoors. Just received my energy update for July. National grid probably thinks I'm tapping someone else's power line.

Just going to be moderate showers here. Northern wake might score

There comes a point until you have to question if trolling is the only source of entertainment for 'em, because it appears as if it were so. Sad, if true.

Another considerable severe thunderstorm warning for N. Illinois away from Chicago

I have window ACs at my apartment and I set them to a temp typically 68-70F. They’ve been off majority of the nights these past few weeks with the cooler temps. Off currently. Just have fans going and windows open.

Outflow wind starting to hit here. I hear the thunder in the distance. I have a bourbon waiting to watch the festivities.

Yes. I've written a peak season forecast annually that covers that period through October 20. I know you know this, but between 8/20 and 10/20 about 2/3 of usual Atlantic activity occurs, and we've had some big dogs in October in the Atlantic. Hoping to get that out tonight or tomorrow.

every year I track.. and every year get disappointed one of these times things will come together and we will get crushed.. anything past 5 days is a crap shoot but I'll always check quick and post the weenie maps if need be

Happy Labor Day

Somehow BTV is only +0.5 but MPV is +2.8. Lack of radiating hurting some sites, but BTV has no radiating anyway so doesn’t seem to matter there. Though the past week has tried to mute the positive departures.

Getting closer!!

Gotta find unique ways to get those clicks until you can start posting 384 hr GFS snowfall maps

BDL is the coolest relative to normal in the region.

Same, I’ll use AC in the car but at home just fans and open windows for the most part.

Well...I guess i can mow tomorrow

Well said. No arguing the baseline.

-2 to 4 last winter was epic cold, but +2 to 4 in summer is nbd. I’ll agree…there hasn’t been any big heat, but it goes to show you where our baseline is right now.

yeah, I've needed AC - but only in the car house hasn't needed it; windows and fans at night, had a fleece vest on this morning (62/61F at 6:30 am) wheeling the cans to the curb for Friday pickup currently 76/65F IMBY
