Your Canadian ain’t good either.

Tornadoes and not even a MRGL from SPC.

Yeah and my expectations of a another dud is looking more like the usual reality... Will see later 2nght if any legit rain occurs...

Just mowed for the second time (before tomorrow's misery mist) and I can confirm: lawn does not look as good as it did after the first mow

Interesting little short term battle between the this new 18z GFS vs everything else for SNE for tomorrow. GFS is gray but dry...probably a little milder by virtue of being so. Perhaps a little drizzle on the immediate shore points. Maybe some breaks in ceiling out CT and western MA. everything else squares the day into the dumpster with steady light rain shut in weather.

EPS has nothing of the sort . Ease back

My palm survived. NWS reporting just one tornado, near Cypress, preliminary EF-1. Cypress is where the big transmission lines (the reason 600,000 in the county are still in the dark are), I would have though EF-2 damage to take down transmission towers. https://x.com/TexasMoran/status/1791588419132617007

Yes. Name me one sane person who wants two rainers like the euro depicts...

Some of our recent weather reminds me of Summer in UK. I was there for two weeks in early August last year and I loved it. There was quite a bit of sun mixed in with cloudy damp days, but the warmest was a few days in the mid 70s. Best part is I was able to delete 2 weeks of experiencing protracted heat and humidity by not being here lol. It was gross returning to Philly and sweating on the shuttle from the Airport to the parking spot.

We have relatives coming in from south FL tomorrow. They are gonna feel like they've landed in Scotland LOL Can't believe tomorrow, MAY 18, will be the fourth straight Saturday of rain and highs in the 50s

Pittsburgh 3 confirmed tornadoes Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

A partly to mostly cloudy weekend lies ahead. Sunshine will likely increase on Sunday. A few scattered showers are still possible during the weekend. Temperatures should reach the upper 60s to lower 70s tomorrow and lower to middle 70s across the region on Sunday. No significant early-season heat is likely through at least the first three weeks of May. However, it will likely turn warmer next week as sunshine returns. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.3°C for the week centered around May 8. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.08°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.73°C. Neutral conditions are now developing. The SOI was -1.67 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.023 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 62% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.7° (0.5° above normal).

Low to mid 70s after that. .

And the summer before

Everyone is praying the gfs is right with a full coc MDW.

When the Watch was issued this morning, I flashed it in my newsletter with an advisory that the blend had diminished overnight from 1.02" down to .86" thru 00z 11-20. Who is correct at this hour, the models or the mets. at Sterling???? No contest.......... But 2 am has not arrived.............

A few days checking out the buffet, then a week or so of casual dining (the current situation here) followed by a week plus of diving in teeth first - no wandering around looking for a soft spot, just eat and run. Sugar maple leaves about 3/4 grown, red oak halfway, ash and basswood lagging behind as always.

Using central park as your argument... lmaooo
