Patchy Frost this AM. Beautiful spring day on tap

Yep, and if that marine layer ramps up it can take days to scour out.

Praying for continued recovery...

While it certainly won’t be the rain we were hoping for the cool steady rain is making for quite a pleasant morning here. It pushed just far enough west for Raleigh and the farm in Louisburg to get into the rain shield

.02” rain here. Day of garden work ahead.

85 shift dance.

Gulfport Tornadoes 4-25-26 As @jaxjagman pointed out, there was a tornado that came within the vicinity of the JAN area on the 24th of this month, but I was out of town and was in no danger of being hit. However, that did not last very long as the QLCS pushed southward through the overnight hours into the early morning hours on the 25th of April, I had three different tornadoes that nearly hit me while I was out of town. Below are the radar images time stamped of the circulation along with my location as it went over my head. In addition, I am adding the NOAA/NWS Damage Toolkit to give context on how close the tornadoes came to hitting my hotel. There was damage with tree branches being snapped and even fences being damaged along HWY 90. I was not aware or saw any evidence of a tornado that touched down near HWY 49 earlier as there was little to know damage at my location outside of some power outages at some of the intersections with very minor tree damage. I was unable to get any pictures of any of the tornadoes as they were brief and heavily rain wrapped and could not be done safely. Disclaimer: The red star on the map is a rough estimate of where I was at in reference to the three tornadoes that had occurred the morning of April 25th, 2026. The radar imagery does contain the GPS location from RadarScope for supporting evidence as well.

Low of 44 with .03” of rain. An epic sports lineup on tap today.

.40 rain last night, 35 degrees at 6 am. Low 30s tonight.

Radar looks to currently be showing some May snow showers at this hour in northwest PA.

Last El Niño we had fuckin sucked. So who knows if it even matters anymore.

After all of those days in the mid 80s…spring has returned. LR ext models nailed this pattern change. On AppleWx, temps are forecast to only get above 70 during 3/10 days. 4/10 days don’t get over 64. I am back to having to wear a jacket when I run in the mornings. It was so hot last weekend that I couldn’t sit on the clay ground for more than a minute or two without feeling like being on a hot stove. Ground temps have cooled off big time since then. This temp swing has been pretty massive.

Plenty of speculation, but its too early to know the character and strength of the event. Latest ENSO update from CPC indicates equal chances for very strong, strong or moderate El Nino for the upcoming winter.

Wow scary stuff man. Hope she gets better and home soon

isn't that the truth. Of course nothing will ever come close to the pain of that dry slot.

Daughter just had her 2nd surgery in a little over a month. 1st was a cholecystectomy. Ended up showing it was partially nectoetized. Scary. 2nd surgery was scheduled. Spinal surgery for tethered cord. This should alleviate many if here strength and pain issues. Sad it took us close to 8yrs to get this diagnosed. 1st day post surgery she had to remain prone. Yesterday was 1st day to attempt to sit up. Was rough. Went dizzy, lost vision and hearing and had to lie back down. Also got a spinal induced migraine. See what today brings. Optimistic she’ll be able to come home tomorrow or Monday depending on how physical therapy session show her progressing back to some level of basic activities.

Lots of coastals being modeled.

Not too bad of a start though. Breaks of sun before overcast rolled in. Line looks broken so maybe we salvage a not so bad a day.

Ya' a little over .20" definitely was a surprise.

A freeze here this morning with 31.

I am all good. I am sorry for being MIA this season. Work has gotten in the way and plus with a slow season, I tend not to be as active also.

My guess is that the ultimate peak we see in the fall will probably be influenced by how much WWB follow up we get. The recent models back off a bit for early May. They now forecast the next larger one by mid to late May. Could make the difference between a peak in the 2.0 to 2.4 range vs 2.5+. New run Old run

Interesting to note the cool temps have backed off somewhat for the month and the coolest anomalies shifted west to the Lakes and Midwest. East of Apps not really that cool anymore we get closer . A sign for the summer most likely

Another Steiner for most . .03 that barely wet the pavement. Looks like some clearing moving in soon from W CT
