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 .

Some distant lightning visible here from storms in CT. Too bad not a chance in hell any reach me.

With today's 90° high in Central Park, 2026 became only the third year on record with a high of 80° or above in March and a high of 90° or above in April. The only prior years were 1977 and 1990.

A couple of bird fart tors may have dropped southwest of the QC over the past half hour.

I don't "use it to forecast". It's just something I have noticed about the strongest of events. I love how 1983 and 2016 are qualified as BS when in fact they were officially designated as La Niña....that is BS. 1966-1967 sure as hell seems cool-neutral to me........1957 and 1991, sure....I'll grant that. Must be a sample size issue I don't think I used any offensive language in my response to Chuck.....if he feels as though I did, by all means, let me know. At least to me, employing sarcasm is different than using incendiary terms like "idiot".

I'm not offended. I'm proud of my work over the last decade plus...learned a ton. I'm just tired of your loathsome, vile persona acting as though you're superior to everyone and always spewing venom. When in the hell did I run to the mods? I know as a byproduct of your incredibly meager existence you repeatedly made baseless claims of me plagiarizing your work....I called that out, but I don't recall ever getting mods involved. That accusation is every bit as accurate is your idiotic claim about the "smiley" snowfall pattern leading to another shitty east coast winter. Of course, you never acknowledged that. Okay, cool...you found a couple of exceptions ....of course, within this context the sample size is no longer an issue, and those examples can be used to completely debunks my assertion because it's convenient. "The sample size" crap is so fraudulent when you aren't consistent with it. Like I said, put your money where your keyboard is and take the bet, if I'm such an idiot.

Mid 80's still in NYC at this hour, in mid-april, is nuts. Hoping those storms in PA make it here. Had a nice downpour last night.

The entire summer is probably gonna go full-on aggro.

Playoff hockey! Nothing like it

Dale City hit 91 degrees today! You guys are 25 degrees above normal! Normal high is 66, normal low is 45.

Lot of moving parts trying to spin one up over Rockford

My lawn is a disaster. I give up.

Third tornado warning in as many days here

You are an idiot. The fact that it offends you just means you believe it. Presumably if I called you an pedophile you wouldn't be offended because you're not a pedophile. You spend these threads trashing ideas hiding behind idiotic premises of "bull busting" so no one can call your behavior. Its an excuse to criticize what you don't like and then when someone dares criticize you you hiss and moan like a little baby and run to the mods. You dish and refuse to take. You never actually learn anything. Here are all the Super that don't "self destruct" which has been the entire premise of your theory this entire thread out of the left side of your mouth, while on the right side you hem and haw about how it won't be a super event anyway. Literally half of the ENSOs at/over +2.0C haven't self-destructed, so yes it is an idiotic idea that could be disprove with five seconds of thinking, which you don't do. Anything that has a 50/50 tendency is not a tendency. 1957-58 became 1958-59 after hitting +2.0C. 1965-66 became 1966-67, 1991-92 became 1992-93 - none of those are La Ninas. 1997-98, 1982-83, 1972-73, 2015-2016 arguably became La Nina but even those are kind of bullshit La Nina since 1983-84 and 2016-17 were extremely warm by South America and below the surface. So the entire premise...is at best 50/50 which is again...stupid as a baseline for forecasting.

Seems like most of the sub has seen as much or more precipitation in April then I have all year. (5.20” since January 1)

Our area might get lucky with something later on tonight. Further east chances less. Picked up .24” from lasts nights stuff. I did sprinkle the grass seed earlier so I am not overly confident we get anything later.
