April Fools Anyone know the storm ?

80 was the high yesterday. Rainfall yesterday and over night .25”

80° warmth could make it onto Long Island to start April with the downsloping flow behind the front this afternoon.

Not looking good for the growers the middle of next week

Newark just missed the all-time March warmest minimum temperature by 1° yesterday.

April is always tricky with its swings between warm and cooler periods. After an initial warm spell, it’s common to see a few more chilly fronts or unsettled weather before temperatures stabilize. Keeping an eye on forecasts and seasonal trends can give a better sense of whether the month will end mild or remain unpredictable.

Don't forget - Artemis II launches this evening! First time mankind has been beyond Earth's orbit since 1974. Where to watch: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/where-to-watch-artemis-ii-launch/ (in addition to NASA channel of course)

Hope you all don't me me starting a thread on this. As a layman weather enthusiast, and a "visual person", one of my go-to things for getting a good feel for the weather coming was a "radar forecast" loop that was created from the NAM, and posted here: http://hp5-dev.wright-weather.com/nam-conus-radar-loop_1hour.gif As of February it stopped being updated though - the last one was Feb 24th. That website doesn't even exist as a site anymore - my guess is the creation and posting of that gif had been automated many years ago and it just wasn't being maintained, and something along the chain of automation was taken offline or broke on that day. Anyone know if such a thing is created and posted anywhere? (I'm sure the pros on here view that as an amateurish thing, but it actually seemed to be fairly accurate from what I could tell; certainly more useful than not having anything, and more useful to me at least than static maps)

I guess I should add York. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

30 days to go That is not an April Fools joke, we're into the final month before May.

You say that now, but just wait till we get locked in the 50's half of May. On the years ahead of us from work they finish a plus 1.7 and exactly normal for April and May. Although they did have April's with mean in 40s and may mean In 50's Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

If you ever asked the question "I wonder what the local ASOS Stations at KCXY, KMDT, KTHV, KLNS record for wind when they have an kind of Snow" I have the fun answers below. Local terrain and microclimates making themselves known. Especially the wind tunnel that is the Susquehanna River Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

63 when I left the house with no rain. We’ll see what today brings. The train is a callin’.

Nice snowstorm coming up for Minnesota. Enjoy.

70 degrees at 5am is gross!

Why does Jackass hate my posts ?

In case you haven't gotten it by now, winter is over: https://x.com/epawawx/status/2038305484810092870

Torch is back baby. Nice warm morning.

2015? We had a ice storm that winter,severe was literally non-existent which that year proceeded into a strong NINO later in 2015. Who knows,snowstorm in Jan 2016?That was the most snow we got here in decades.Seems like the potential flooding of Pac air this winter upcoming,AN temps should be the main course

Miserable morning, rain and 41F. Snowpack at 1,500ft down to 18”.

I occasionally read lazy forecast discussions, from time to time, but this one really stands out, especially in it's extended. Full discussion is in the link below. 211 FXUS61 KCTP 010817 AFDCTP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 417 AM EDT Wed Apr 1 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... * Severe thunderstorm watch #83 has been cancelled && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Big temperature swings and periods of rain/thunderstorms continue through Easter weekend into the first full week of April && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1: Big temperature swings and periods of rain/thunderstorms continue through Easter weekend into the first full week of April At the surface, a quasi-stationary front will be located from southern Indiana east-northeastward into southern Pennsylvania by the afternoon. Surface dewpoints in the upper 50s and lower 60s F to the south of the front will contribute to weak instability. Increasing low-level convergence near the front and warming surface temperatures into the 70s should trigger scattered thunderstorms. 0-6 km shear in the 25 to 35 knot range and steep low-level lapse rates will support isolated strong to severe storms with potential for damaging wind gusts focused within west-east corridor to the south of I-80 to MD line. Periods of rain/showers continue tonight into Thursday morning. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=CTP&issuedby=CTP&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off

I only included discussion specifically regarding localized threats. The full discussion is in the link below. No science to it, just a roll of the dice and some twisted intuition. I sense a convactive over achiever coming on today. Not that it will translate to today, but cpa had some decently, elevated parameters that went the waste yesterday . The cap fully eroded over most of the area by mid-afternoon, but a lack of forcing and meager mid-level's hindered any convective development. Although simple details, I think frontal timing and orientation are conducive to localize overachievement, especially if the sun can get that surface baked for us cpa southernish. SPC AC 010548 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1248 AM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ...Ohio Valley/Mid-Atlantic... West-southwesterly mid-level flow will be in place over much of the eastern U.S. today. At the surface, a quasi-stationary front will be located in the Ohio Valley from southern Indiana east-northeastward into far southern Pennsylvania. Surface dewpoints in the upper 50s and lower 60s F to the south of the front will contribute to weak instability by early afternoon. Increasing low-level convergence near the front and warming surface temperatures will result in scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon. Several short line segments are expected to form and move eastward across the Ohio Valley into the central Appalachians. 0-6 km shear in the 25 to 35 knot range and steep low-level lapse rates will support isolated severe storms with potential for damaging wind gusts. A low-end tornado threat will also be possible. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html

Here we go folks. I told everyone that winter isnt over yet.
