Already up 41 notches to 56 with a projected high of 70 today in good 'ole Mackay.

Man…we are so overdue for a derecho around here. Wonder what happens first? An EF3 tornado, or a hurricane

Is this the future? Stay .. oh well .. as always …

You are insane. 60s are ideal, but 70s are a win in the summer. Ring of fire is an added bonus.

Wow, that is impressive. And then there were our friends in Mackay, ID, who bottomed out at 15.

Some low 40s out in West Jersey this morning. I'll resist kicking the heat back on for now.

Low of 60. Beautiful morning. Currently at 12:30 it is 75/49.

There was still random CG and pockets of heavier rain at 10 am. I'm surprised there was even an MCS today with last evenings storms. STX looks undisturbed, and I see an outflow boundary. And low clouds burning off.

Yesterday featured a hail storm around parts of Denver and a tornado in Midland, TX. I extended the thread through June 4th, as the active pattern looks to continue for a few more days, before a ridge builds in the West. That will probably mean a relative lull in severe action for a while, aside from local mesoscale events.

Late nooners...65 and windows open.

All your posts about what you're wearing are creepy dude Pot meet kettle

Lmao

Numerous cities in Texas and Florida are en route to their warmest May on record. The May temperatures will likely exceed the warmest June temperatures on record in both Brownsville and Fort Lauderdale. In fact, May 2024 will be so warm in Fort Lauderdale that May 2024 will likely rank as the third warmest July there.

I hold my finger down in the box and it says paste or paste as plain text

Just read in the MA thread that Canaan Valley WV got down to the low to mid 20s last night. Seems impressive.

Anyone with critical thinking skills would agree with you. I guess somewhere I missed how Tonga throwing a massive amount of water vapor into the atmosphere can’t possibly have any impact. It seems like the timing would make sense too with how long it takes for the effects from volcanic eruptions to be felt globally.

In the eyes of Tip, the Hadley Cell is responsible for everything...from climate change to sperm subsidnce (joke, John....not doubting CC)

Afternoon Delight? Skyrockets in Flight?

Where is the plain text option since it doesn’t seem to show up for me?

With the number of kids @40/70 Benchmarkhas popped over a pretty short span, he must be micro plastic free.

20 mins from noon and it’s 69 and oh so fine.

Green haze in the air today from pine tree pollen around here today.

The swing from Nina to Nino leads to warming but not normally as early as the timing of the sudden sharp GW in 2023, which started about now. Why would AGW by itself cause such sharp GW? Its warming has been much more gradual. Thus I remain suspicious of other factors contributing, including Tonga. Perhaps El Nino had an earlier than normal influence. If so, why? RONI was still only neutral then though it had warmed from ~-1C in NDJ. But if it was, why hasn't it cooled back any yet? Maybe it really was mainly from AGW. I'm open minded.

The swing from La Niña to El Nino doesn’t fully explain the timing and magnitude of the record global temperatures since 2023. So something different happened during this El Nino. Some climatologists are afraid to publicly discuss the uncertainty with aerosol and cloud modeling for fear that some people will use it as an excuse not believe the science on climate change. It’s actually healthy to have these scientific debates. https://x.com/MakikoSato6 https://x.com/LeonSimons8/status/1796475637210739129 https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/4115/2023/ Atmospheric aerosols and their impact on cloud properties remain the largest uncertainty in the human forcing of the climate system.
