Rain mixed with hail. Came and went in less than 5 minutes. .

Thanks!

A chilly late April day across the sub. Still in the low-30's here with full sun at 1 pm... a northeast breeze to boot. Low this morning was 25 as clouds held on longer than expected. Coldest temp I could find was Ironwood at 17. Point tonight is 21, I see N lower could reach mid-teens.

You knew he was coming. He’s been wet too long. They redid half my lawn and will need daily water maintenance now. Thanks a lot Stein

I was in Springfield and East Longmeadow, everyone has already cut their lawn once and the lawns looked great. I guess they're a week or two ahead of my area.

It’s ready in spots. Probably will this weekend.

A 360hr blizzard is 100 times more likely to verify.

In honor of John Sterling, the GFS is a Steintonian run!

I’m going to go post up in sterling tomorrow and try to catch a landspout. Will leave the main outbreak sequence to the Kadens and Jadens and halls of the world.

I was in thick clouds all day until just before dark when the sun poked through for 30 mins, then I got a regular t-storm with the smallest sized hail briefly by 9pm. This is the 3rd hailer in 2 weeks; wasn't expecting any last night. Quality thunder but only 15 strikes detected.

Looks like we got steined. $60 wasted fert.

yeah was supposed to be mostly cloudy and 65 instead it's partly sunny and 68 so far probably get to 70

The cold is more of a problem than lack of rainfall for those-- we already have way too much rain. I grow those myself-- peppers need hot weather to grow well.

When you find some tomato and pepper plants that are drought resistant let me know.

Snowing at 1500ft now. All flakes. Flowers have to be stoked.

I like the label "drought resistant"

ok. I will send away for some mail order cactus.

SPC has introduced a Day 4 15% across IA/IL/WI all the way to the UP Border.

Clearing here as well had the downpour now the sun is starting to shine.

Any significant rain chances are probably a week away(which would be May 1st), when HP along the east coast breaks down and a front associated with LP tracking across the GLs gets closer.

The pseudo dryline greatly narrowed the risk zone on this side of the lake. Plus the core of 500 mb cold pool lagged enough to limit lapse rates and destabilization east of the dryline. Only had low-mid 60s temps with near/around 50 Td over northeast IL and far NW IN, which yielded 200-300 j/kg MLCAPE. Needed the 500 mb cold pool to lag less and/or temps around 70 to boost MLCAPE and get it done, as the instability we had wasn't enough to balance out the 40-45 kts of effective bulk shear.

Turning into a sneaky nice day here.

I think we had three rain drops here at around 7:45 and clearing since. Thirty-two minutes past Nooners: Sixty and partly sunny. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
