Yeah, based on all the solutions I've seen so far, southeastern Iowa is going to only get wave three, whereas northeastern and southwestern Iowa are scheduled to get hit by waves 1 and 2. If that happens and it's a linear threat, that's all well and good, but what happens if a cell develops ahead of that line? That's going to be interesting to watch. We'll need to see more info on this, but I think if there's going to be a strong tornado, based on the models I've seen, areas south of the QCA out to Galesburg and back into the Mt. Pleasant are going to be under the gun. If a cell develops there ahead of that line, I'd be concerned.

That’s exactly how you’d want to be at that age. Once activity stops, the body ages quickly.

Light rail. Brings back memories. I lived right across from what had been designated a boundary of the fairly new Liberty State Park in Jersey City. State used eminent domain to force people out across the street on our block. It was empty for awhile over there and then lo and behold, they put in the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. This is what I saw: The Putt Putt. Serving hundreds of thousands of people yet I was astonished to see it for first time and never stopped being amazed. Just a toy Putt Putt of two cars. Now it has three cars, I think, big deal. Wikipedia says it carries about 50,000 passengers a day. 24 stations. It did come in very handy at times for me but I mostly stuck with PATH train that went into Manhattan. I am all for public transportation but so many of the modern day additions are disasters and jokes more than anything. Why is that? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson–Bergen_Light_Rail So much for the Park. After Light Rail, the tan building went in and so did several other even taller buildings across the street. Park is still there but they definitely sold off land to developers just because they felt like it.

Yeah it’s off now and windows are open. It was borderline but nice to cool it off when home from the after-work hike and dog walk. I’d have all three sliders wide open but the wife is worried about bears following their nose to food sources. Given what the they do around here to get to good smells, a screened door wouldn’t even be an inconvenience to walk into the kitchen. Regarding the bolded, I’d recommend the mini-splits to anyone. Even if you just want to just alter a living space and bedroom, but leave other parts of the home or spare bedrooms out… it is so easy, quiet, convenient to cool or heat a space these days. Also the actual usage costs very little. But there’s a large initial investment. Thats why I have no issue using it for cooling or heating even in short bursts. You don’t spend $8K to avoid using it. Pay the installation and equipment, might as well use it at every opportunity. If it’s hotter than you’d like, you cool. Cold? Then heat it up fast. It’s 2024, there are options so you don’t need window units or more intrusive, time consuming and loud units. Just remote controlled climate. A good alternative to central cooling.

Congratulations and best wishes for your family!

The Thunder Bay volcano means business

it was always going to be this way.

5 of the 16 LIV players (31%) MC per this: https://golfweek.usatoday.com/lists/2024-pga-championship-how-all-16-liv-golf-players-fared-valhalla/ The 31% is actually pretty good considering that 50% of all 156 players MC or WD.

That severe watch was such a bust. I think the dewpoints mixed out south of I-96. The line held together better north of the front. The steep mid-level lapse rates and higher deepoints are way west.

No AC here yet. Open windows and ceiling fans are fine. I can’t install yet anyway since we are having new siding installed and the last of our old windows replaced. Hopefully next year’s project is the mini splits.

A friend of mine opened a place in Sturbridge, all imported Italian foods, he is from RI and every Saturday he has that pizza for a buck a piece, I haven't been there on Saturday, but I've tried his Italian pastas and other things from Providence and it's great.

Can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a special weather statement for a gust front.

He still grades the roads in southern Quebec and did his own addition a couple years ago on his house.. the guy is wild lol

I worry may result posting these, but I find the high plains spring picture so damn fascinating. Any guesses as to why ? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I've seen a few cams fire off some convection well ahead of the main show near the MS river. That would be concerning if that were to happen. Either way it's looking like a serious wind threat with the main show tomorrow evening.

Anyone have any updates on that Lancaster radar? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

It’s a given. Something has changed pattern wise that doesn’t let cP air masses sink down here enough to get low dews with warm days. Its all cT and mT air all the time… and if we do cool off it’s mP air and still elevated moisture levels. Melting the permafrost off/northward and changing the source region dynamics, along with prevailing global circulations lately, seems like it’s a slam dunk going forward for above normal temps and elevated dew points. Hit 85F up here today. We seem to have some high-end heat relative to climo in May over the past 5 years… only to struggle to those temps again for sometimes a couple months. Wonder if we can get near 90F as 850-925mb temps warm a couple degrees.

Haha, tucked away isn't the right word. Still a decent place to raise a kid. And overall this whole area is a little oasis especially taking into account cost of living. Not a day goes by where I am not thankful, even when I'm yelling at the sky over miniscule things. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

@dendrite is there any way to fix the auto populating feature for tweets? The workaround is not working anymore. https://x.com/mark_debruin/status/1792601967438832085?s=46&t=Nn9Cx92_8118fPdhHPdJHw

CAM solutions have varied wildly from model to model and run to run since this event came into range. Still clear as mud how tomorrow might evolve.

Agreed, that’s awesome. Dude could pass for 70 years old compared to some people.

Camp Hill...Jns2183 can hang 'em up local. Not sure tucked away is the right phrase though. Tucked Away In Pennsylvania, This Town Is America's #1 Retirement Haven (yahoo.com)

Yea we torch for a couple days then its back to rain chances for a week.
