My 1st PC was a 486-33 (4 on the floor), with (countem) 8 mb of ram.

This event is one of the most woefully modeled events I’ve seen in quite some time.

Records: Highs: EWR: 94 (2017) NYC: 92 (2017) LGA: 97 (2017) JFK: 88 (1977) Lows: EWR: 43 (2003) NYC: 41 (1973) LGA: 44 (2002) JFK: 42 (2023) Historical: 1825 - A tornado (said to have crossed all of the state of Ohio) smashed into the log cabin settlement of Burlington, northeast of Columbus. (David Ludlum) 1883: The massive tornado outbreak on record in Illinois affected the northern and central parts of the state. At least 14 strong to violent tornadoes touched down killing 52 people. The largest death toll from a single tornado was 12, with 50 injuries, from an estimated F4 tornado which moved from near Jacksonville to 5 miles west of Petersburg. This tornado destroyed the town of Literberry. Another tornado, with an estimated F4 intensity, killed 11 people and injured 50 along its path from the south edge of Springfield northeast to near Kenney. This particular tornado reportedly drove 10 inches by 12-inch oak timbers 10 feet into the ground. Another estimated F4 tornado in far northern Illinois touched down near Capron and tracked for 17 miles before lifting in far southern Wisconsin. Lastly, an estimated F4 tornado tracked 20 miles through Kenosha and Racine Counties in Wisconsin. Eight people were killed, and 85 were injured. 1960 - Salt Lake City UT received an inch of snow. It marked their latest measurable snowfall of record. (The Weather Channel) 1980 - Mount Saint Helens (in Washington State) erupted spewing ash and smoke sixty-three thousand feet into the air. Heavy ash covered the ground to the immediate northwest, and small particles were carried to the Atlantic coast. (David Ludlum) 1987 - Thunderstorms in Kansas, developing along a cold front, spawned tornadoes at Emporia and Toledo, produced wind gusts to 65 mph at Fort Scott, and produced golf ball size hail in the Kansas City area. Unseasonably hot weather prevailed ahead of the cold front. Pomona NJ reported a record high of 93 degrees, and Altus, OK, hit 100 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Low pressure anchored over eastern Virginia kept showers and thunderstorms over the Middle Atlantic Coast Region. Flash flooding was reported in Pennsylvania. Up to five inches of rain drenched Franklin County PA in 24 hours.

Thunderstorms deluged Sioux City IA with up to eight inches of rain, resulting in a record flood crest on Perry Creek and at least 4.5 million dollars damage.

Some nasty heat in FL last few days. Interesting HI stat from Miami. All very recent perhaps reflecting the increased moisture in the atmosphere of late. Don't know now anyone could tolerate FL in the Summer. Just not for me. High sun angle, high temperatures and stifling humidity

On the train on the way back from Philly. What a win! #MildlyDrunk

Ok, the rain can stop now..

0.32" today and 2.43" for the month. Coolish more than warm and humid. Good balance of cloudy days and sun. I'll take this any day for May. Goldilocks.

Adding on to the great weather recently trend, enjoyed a beautiful day at Wrigley today watching Cubs pull out a win at the very end

Been pouring now. Near an inch to my east. At least it waited until night.

Not sure. I suspect we all dawn packed in but it will be diurnal inversion cap stratus. The east wind direction will have a modest downslope aspect which then working with the intense solar max insolation we may see breaks opening up first west but then working E

Semt your post along to HR and security.

You having Maine lobster tonight? I still love me a Maine lobster.

That sounds really good, basically what I'm doing tonight. (minus the better lobster) I work for a food company and I'm loaded for high-end stuff, but wouldn't dare spend $$$ out for it. lol

Took my sister out to a steak house for her birthday in Sarasota, I was going to get a nice ribeye and the waitress said they had a special, 8oz filet with a South African lobster tail, its sweeter and more tender than a Maine lobster. My sister lives in Maine and say no way, Maine lobsters are the best. So, I ordered the filet and South African lobster tail, and the waitress was right, it was sweeter and more tender than a Maine lobster, best lobster I ever had.

Hey John... Been looking for you to jump on this, not that it is a heat burst setup, but at least the first heat tease. Given the un- remarkable spring pattern to date, I look forward to trying to pinpoint if and where some 90 high temps might appear. Certainly not a lock, but I'm ready for a summer pattern and some real convection threats. Hope all is well...

Got in the water at foster beach for a bit, brisk baby

How many “tomorrows” do we need to talk?

Amazing!

0.81" here, that's over 2" this week and 4" this month. I'll take it.

It’s currently warmer on the southern coast of the Hudson Bay in northern Ontario than it is here. Please make it stop

Perfect evening along the lake

great night for some IPA's, lobster tails and filet mignon

I'm over 10 for the month... a dry spell sounds nice.

squeezed in a lawn mowing this morning. Spent the rest of the day under a canopy getting hammered. Beer 0.3” here

That is crazy. That storm just trained over the area.
