The mid-state storms are starting to die out. I figure they will collapse before they get to my area. The mid state looks to be getting nice rains today though.

Half an inch leading to more soggy ground.

Wikipedia has the following up on Sinlaku’s article, based on sources like the Red Cross. It sounds bad. ” Sinlaku caused catastrophic destruction across the Northern Mariana Islands, particularly on Saipan and Tinian. With sustained winds reaching 150 mph (240 km/h), the storm demolished numerous wooden and tin-roofed homes and caused significant roof failures in commercial buildings.[36] The entire electrical grid on both islands collapsed, and toppled communication towers left residents without mobile or internet services for an extended period.[37] The storm's slow movement across the archipelago resulted in intense rainfall—exceeding 20 inches (51 cm) in some areas—and severe flash flooding.[38] In residential districts, winds were powerful enough to flip vehicles and stack them on top of one another, while many concrete homes suffered from water seepage through every crevice. Critical facilities, including Northern Marianas College, faced fresh setbacks as buildings still being repaired from previous storms were battered again.[39]”

I was surprised at the rain we had here this evening. Decent little storm with thunder and lightning. Picked up around .20, although I know some areas got more.

It just got crazy windy

Still 78F at 10:10pm in mid April...

My wife refused to turn on the AC. So since he’s in the Virgin Islands I broke into @Itstrainingtime’s place and cranked his AC down to 58.

Finally! Time to enjoy some petrichor! Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

91 yesterday 92 today for the highs. WTH is going on

Just had a thunderstorm roll through here. Pretty heavy rain and some rock salt sized hail. Earlier this afternoon and evening was very nice. Got my first 9 holes of the year in.

Not me. I’ll be in Aruba.

65 days until we start losing daylight. Lets go !

I don't expect it to be as warm as 2023-2024 in the northeast.

Warmest day of the year 87.5 for the high in East Nantmeal

What a field day for the Heat …. Thousands of people in the streets

Looks like CEF hit 90 as well as BDL. Impressive day around here.

I’ve been enjoying the early warm up, but party is over on Sunday. I’m not looking forward to freezing while coaching my daughter’s softball team on Monday evening.

Nothing from last night to my knowledge. The Tuesday night line went all around me with a gap over Sparta. I only recorded a trace. Meanwhile, western PA and up through Buffalo, Finger Lakes and the upstate is having it's third night in row of a pretty solid line of storms. No rain issues there.

It actually looks really nice. Anything but rain.

Got this earlier as a cell crawled down from Clare. not a ton of lightning, but really crisp updrafts all around.
