Can't argue that at all.

Same - especially with this waiting in the wing: (good meteorology lesson here from MU) (1/3) Forecasting 101: How to use the MJO to beat computer models. 4-5 days ago, the models were suggesting an abrupt shift to an unseasonably cold pattern in the East from April 8-18. Some even showed a major, late-season snowstorm in PA on April 9/10! (2/3) At the same time, they were forecasting the MJO to become active in phases 6/7.. and still are. In an ENSO-neutral April, MJO phases 6/7 favor a #JETSTREAM ridge in the East, & the correlation is strong. Thus, I didn’t bite on the cold & snow, & it’s a good thing I didn’t.. (3/3) Fast forward to today, and the models have caught on to the MJO’s influence on the pattern and now show a sprawling ridge in the East next week. So, after a cooldown #EasterWeekend, expect this week’s unseasonable warmth to come roaring back by the middle of next week!

At least down here in Lanco we are consistent - after being left high and dry all winter, the theme continues into spring:

Me either, because I won't talk about sports on here. But yeah...I do have Oneil Cruz on my fantasy team.

True...

@TimB - glad that Bubbler pulled you over here - always enjoy reading your thoughts.

That ridge has been there is some fashion for months.

Ring of fire...

That would be something during the first week of April. And not a good something. LOL

Chilly in the 'Ville! Up to 72.3 here already.

Especially considering both the strength of the tornado and this area not really rehearsed in F3 preparations.

Sunny and 71 just past noon.

Not only will high temperatures be around 20 degrees above average on Wednesday and Thursday, but it's also going to feel quite muggy in southeastern PA. Dewpoints should climb into the low 60s tomorrow and mid-to-upper 60s Thursday, resulting in heat index values around 85°F.

It just so happened that this guy thought it would be a great day to take the fam to Hersheypark - I remember staff running around with radios and announcements being made to take cover. I thought the top of the kissing tower would be a great vantage point but Hershey had other ideas.

Were you living in PA when this hit? https://www.tornadotalk.com/campbelltown-pa-f3-tornado-july-14-2004/

Chamber of Commerce day today - hard to order a day better than what's underway currently.

64 here is the current high for the day. Tornado on Saturday evening in Sussex County DE was confirmed EF3 - strongest twister in DE since 1961.

Drought for @Blizzard of 93 as well!

March data for Lancaster is in: As I’d suspected, temps (as a whole) were not below normal in #March at @millersvilleu but instead finished 2.34°F above avg! The “chilly period” was indeed March 9-20, & the rest of the month was warm-biased. Monthly precip was nearly 1” below avg. The cold/snow hype fell flat.

A warm in the sun, cool in the shade with the breeze 60 here now.

Remarkable how your area just west of South Mountain keeps ending up in the shadow.

Just over a tenth of an inch of rain. Very impressive light show in advance of the storm...I was surprised how much lightning there was.

Nice inflection of some German this morning!
