(The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Thunderstorms produced large hail and high winds in central Texas. Baseball size hail was reported at Nixon, and wind gusts to 70 mph were reported at Cotulla. Heavy rain in Maine caused flooding along the Pemigewassett and Ammonoosuc Rivers. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in Arkansas, Louisiana and eastern Texas, with more than 70 reports of large hail and damaging winds. Softball size hail was reported at Palestine TX. Hail as large as tennis balls caused ten million dollars damage around Pine Bluff AR. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - A storm system crossing northern New Mexico blanketed parts of the Rocky Mountain Region and the Northern High Plains with heavy snow, and produced blizzard conditions in central Montana. Much of southern Colorado was buried under one to three feet of snow. Pueblo tied an April record with 16.8 inches of snow in 24 hours. Strong canyon winds in New Mexico, enhanced by local showers, gusted to 65 mph at Albuquerque.

That heavy band delivered. .60 of rain total today in Marysville.

Flyers advance!

Thank god

Solid supercell literally moving right over Del Rio right now. Hailstones could be even bigger than the 5 in. diameter report in Camp Wood a few hours ago. Definitely over 60 Kft tops. But could be very close to 70 !

Hmm while im not as familiar with east coast climate, that seems pretty much impossible to get a total shutout in new England. Shitty compard to climo, yes, but shutout or even close, never. Im in SE Michigan, i turn 43 next week and the least snowy winter Detroit has recorded during my lifetime was 23.4" in 1997-98. 2023-24 was right there at 23.5". Go north in Michigan and snow towns were calling 2023-24 with its 60, 80, 100" a "non-winter". So all of this worry about the worst case scenarios is STILL relative to one's climo. Even IF its a strong or super nino, many other factors come into play too. So I can say with 100% confidence that any area north of NYC will not be shutout.

Pouring rain here now and windswept near RDU. This is great as we need it

.65 nw Cecil County :)

.54” rain today

YES!!!

Yep. 5 in. diameter happened today with the DRT - SAT lone supercell. And still have some potential tomorrow (Thursday).

0.49", dzl at obs

Nice little line of storms in north Orange and Guilford counties tonight. Saw the lightning when i left work tonight at RDU.

We need a good 3+ day streak of 70+ temps region wide. 46 and misery mist just ain’t cutting it. This orange glow must be maintained at all costs!

Nice steady to almost heavy rain in Gainesville.

Up to 3.5 in. hailstones reported so far this evening from ongoing supercell between Del Rio - San Antonio, in Camp Wood. More severe-warned cells are coming up further west in SWTX. Which likely means next ML shortwave is entering the state in WTX.

We have a Nostradamus among us…. Or should I say Tipstradamus?

Love talking Stein! Drought !!

It will be rainy tonight into tomorrow morning. A general 0.50"-1.00" rainfall appears likely. Following the rainfall, temperatures will top out in the lower to perhaps middle 60s through Saturday. May will likely open with cooler than normal conditions. Sunday could be especially cool with highs only in the upper 50s despite partly sunny skies. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.7°C for the week centered around April 22. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.47°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.27°C. El Niño conditions will likely develop during late spring or early summer. The SOI was -5.41 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.224 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 55.2° (1.5° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.2° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Next week there’s 2-3 days of low -mid 70’s at least. One day has 75+ potential

Snow showers this evening. Chilly day.

He’s got an itchy trigger finger . I think he senses the dry summer coming https://x.com/growingwisdom/status/2049636199933858274?s=46&t=dhcbvkjmRcyBVQtDxJ3lRg

Hard to believe my area has only been 'abnormally dry'. With the update tomorrow I expect to be in moderate drought category.

73 at CEF today. Could be the last 70+ here for a bit from what i read in these spaces

Yeah looks like a nothing burger again. Maybe a tenth, which is what I expected.
