Sunday looks like shit

Unseasonably chilly weekend on the way with temperatures at least 15 degrees below normal levels for late April. We start the cooling trend today with a backdoor cold front moving in from the northeast today highs should be at least 5 degrees cooler than yesterday. Beneficial rain arrives tomorrow morning and we should see rain a good bit of the time Saturday into Sunday morning with temperatures on Saturday remaining in the chilly 40's for high temperatures. We could see at least an inch of rain in many spots which is great news for our local farmers and green thumbs! We moderate next week but still a few degrees cooler than average with more showers possible by later Tuesday.

I haven't posted much about them this season and haven't this week because I don't want to jinx it. It's been too damned long since they've sniffed success, but a quick personal story. I'm all but back in "Vail," as @candersonhas referred to my location, and my kid is trying (the perils of trying to get toddlers to do anything) T-Ball and seeing all his stupid teammates and their stupid parents in Penguins gear this week has been an absolute treat. Going to order a Vladar sweater and wear it for the entire season if this series doesn't end up being the all-time disaster.

Really, really rare to see this highest level contour on the CSU maps this far out

Better hope the GFS Skynet get rid of that wheel of rhea

East trend? Most of CT is rain free all weekend. Might even have some sun for awhile tomorrow

You're not old enough for this to be a thing lol

East trend gonna screw up my Saturday?

Yeah we’re coming out of this quick. Summer coming soon

0z Euro looked much better for early May

Love the pick hate the cost

So so early

Sweep up that garbage team into the trash as far as I’m concerned.

Wheel of rhea

No idea but i was figuring it would be truly horrendous with the cold shelf water after this winter, but to me at least it hasn't been all that bad. Next 10 days might change that opinion!

What a way to start May

This year seems to have been a bigger and deeper bite

I don’t have the data to support, but it seems to be very cloudy most days. Very few sunny days

Large D4 30% contour for much of IL and parts of WI, IN, IA, MO, AR, TN and KY. Mention of strong tornadoes but not as strong of wording as I'd expect. Regardless, shaping up to be another all hazards possible event especially if things can remain more supercellular. ...DISCUSSION... Latest medium-range model output suggests that a significant short wave perturbation emerging from the Southwest will pivot northeast of the middle/lower Missouri Valley, into the upper Great Lakes region, Monday through Monday night. It appears that the warm sector of an associated sub-1000 mb surface cyclone will become characterized by at least moderately large CAPE, ahead of the dryline/cold front overspreading much of the middle Mississippi Valley during the afternoon into evening. In the presence of strong deep-layer shear, organized severe thunderstorm activity appears probable. It remains a bit unclear the extent to which sustained supercell development will be maintained, as opposed to convection quickly growing upscale into one or more clusters/lines, but there appears at least some potential for a few strong tornadoes, in addition to large hail and potentially widespread strong to severe wind gusts.

Yet the very strong WWBs, DWKW’s, TC’s and very impressive, rapid subsurface and surface (especially in region 1+2) warming continues unabated

I have Sirius but also FM AM and Spotify. I listen to Boomer and Gio in the morning on my way to work and listen to Yankee games on 660 AM. Brooms are out

The comparison doesn't make sense because waters are so much warmer overall now vs 97. You have to consider the anomalies compared to currents sst norms.
