All Activity

Ray would be in his glory if this were winter getting a solid reach around on the way out.

Interesting link I found on reddit [r/minnesota]. It's a report from the Minnesota DNR about the state of the climate, which was just released a few days. This is a Google Drive link to a powerpoint presentation made by the DNR, which is not available elsewhere. Link: State of Climate_MN_May24.pdf - Google Drive

Upper 20's-mid 30's this morning across NE MN. Should be the last significant run of chilly mornings. Lake breeze yesterday kept temps around 60, with 50's right on the shoreline. Should be the same today.

If this was the NBA, she would be back within 2 strokes in 5-10 min.

This same paper was put out in Aug of 2023 as per my 8/9/23 post quoted above. It appears the same one was just re-released on 5/27/24 and that's what Ryan is referring to. So, although Ryan refers to this as new, he doesn't realize it was first released 8 months ago. It is an interesting paper as it suggests that the significant effects may last til 2030 as Ryan says. Looking ahead to the possible effects on US winters 2025-6 through 2028-9 from the January of 2022 Tonga volcano, the chance of a multiyear El Niño MAY be enhanced while the volcano still has influence. Note how the DJF temperature anomaly pattern over the US comes rather close to a typical El Niño, including the cool SE and warm NW. Also, note especially figure 11d (see my link to August 2023 paper), which shows an El Ninolike Pacific SSTa pattern. From the paper: "Thus, it is possible that the SWV forcing from the eruption would favor a positive phase of ENSO on a multi-year timescale, but further work is required to confirm this, in particular with a model including fully interactive ocean and cloud feedbacks."

One of our daughters is volunteering in the hospitality area. I'm getting the low down on who's friendly and who is sort of not so much.

She's 11 strokes back a little over halfway through her first round. A 10 on a par 3 will do that.

PBZ (Pittsburgh) and RLX (Charleston WV) issued frost advisories for tonight in their mountainous zones

Yep not main street in a development.

Near Jubilee (not on the main street, just West side)

The Lancaster Country Club brought the best women’s golfer in the world to her knees. She shot a 10!!! on 12 (her 3rd hole of the day) Great weather for the US Open. Pretty windy, though.

BTW, very impressive-looking MCV tied with this activity.

Newest GFS is now as well. Same with CMC

Yep West side 2 minutes from Dauphin County.

i think you mean 2021

First round is sub-severe, but has turned into a heavy rain threat for the NE. DFW suburbs, with a flash flood warning in effect for portions of Collin / Denton County. Will have to watch the evolution of that 2nd line of storms to the SW of Wichita Fallas for this afternoon though, for severe activity. EDIT: And now a Flood Warning as well for Dallas County.

You must live in West Myra. The last time I was there I made it over the shopping center on the East side of town and it took me a good 20 min to get back to Hershey...traffic.

100%. 2011 was absolutely terrible in early June with three records at DCA, but this time period has otherwise consistently been one of the nicest times of the year.

Mrs. HR is a big time lover of Troegs - and as the owners of 6 rescue animals this is especially wonderful to hear that they're doing this. Great stuff.

Nice article below on the rationale and then highlight the "problem" with these post obs adjustments. https://climatecenter.fsu.edu/does-noaa-adjust-historical-climate-data

More like 5 minutes.

Nam is afternoon unfortunately

Double thumbs up for this one...Triple! And a triple IPA! @paweather just a 15 min drive!

As long as it is the morning and doesn't ruin the day, I'm ok with that.
