Literally came to say I've been jonesing for a nice towahs everywhere around you evening, the cell north of the city looks cool from here, hope more comes through later   

Back end still moving like a sloth on ket

Hoping to reel a storm or two in today or at least a nice show in the vicinity

The low-level clouds turboing by is just absolutely crazy

I'll be happy if we get some thunder later just not loving the late September vibes outside rn

Oh no the bermuda triangle death algae

Severe is one thing as it is, but I'm actually scared of flooding because the Saturday night or whatever storms that rolled through had my exhaust entirely submerged overnight, like the tips were at least two inches underwater as were the bottoms of my doors. Fortunately I still drive the tornado intercept shit box worth roughly the gas in its tank but my understanding is an outbreak miss south might mean more qpf up here, which may not work out great. Like half of my complex's parking lots were underwater because the storm drains were backing up. I saw the hydrological outlook or whatever and it was not too encouraging

This is the banter thread so here's some banter

There are some things in life that are difficult to do yet one must do them. Things that, no matter how painful, no matter how difficult of a decision, yet one must gather up the strength of ones heart and mind and do them. This is my torture, my pain, and my confession that yes, I must root for the Knicks in this series. After decades and decades of absolute hatred of them and especially their fans I must, I cant help it. I would root for the Bull's before the Knicks even though they probably killed us more with MJ than the Knicks ever have...but, it's those damn Knicks fans.  Spike Lee snapping his towel at Reggie, McEnroe "accidently" spilling his drink onto the court during a crucial fast break, Spikes (joking) KKK comment when the Knicks came to Indy in one of the playoff meetings (I laughed right along with him lol), Ben Stiller getting all manly in your face to whatever Pacer was 15 feet from him (how can that guy even think he's intimidating lol?). I was at one Pacer/Knicks playoff game in Indy and KNICKS FAN was sitting next to me. He laughingly told me we weren't bad for an "ABA" team. I told him they weren't bad for a team that could've had Dr. J for FREE (had to educate that young man lol).

Yet I must root for them and as much as I hate to say it, it is because of their fans. They deserve it. As long as it's been, I get it more than most. I know what it's like to have that golden ring of a championship within your reach, only for fate (or the Pacers in their case ) to take it. So I'm here to confess I've been rooting for the Knicks (damn that hurts every time I say it) to take the Western Team (their balls don't count) in 7. Oh and Wu Tang will be the half time show tonight so there's that 

(The Pacers will be back with a huge chip next year, look out!)

Confession off 

They owe you huh

Fuck load of car alarms just fell for it. I did too not gonna lie

 

twice in 45 seconds now dude I thought it was kinda past already

And a third time... and fourth time... can pick out the same two or three car alarms over and over

Fuck load of car alarms just fell for it. I did too not gonna lie

twice in 45 seconds now dude I thought it was kinda past already

Well I got what I wished for tbh can't complain from here

Nice cold wind, pretty epic roll through overhead, let's do it again later

I'm hoping this is one of those times where it balls out just in time for me and not just before cuz it looks okay a county away right now

I am in favor of daylight visibility at the expense of overall wow (to a point) so I enjoy that some models pop a mid-afternoon line for tomorrow now. Obviously don't want that to end up dudding the whole day or shifting the crosshair for later by accident but if we could sneak a good hit in the afternoon and then another at night that would be baller. Not even to speak of getting another even better chance Thursday to my understanding

Enjoyed the gv today lets do it again tomorrow

Drought busted

Good bit of boom with em

"Trolling"

I can just feel my hopes of mid-70+ water temps at Warren Dunes before August slipping away. Makes raging over missing out on snow seem quite pathetic in comparison 

Still holding out hope for at least a GV line moving through before dark

Pretty based that the timing actually looks okay for N IL to get a not nighttime show. Was tempering my expectations based on the SPC maps 

Maybe I'm squinting at it too hard but it looks like the passage of the evening QLCS is bumping earlier instead of later, which I'd love to see it with even half a lux of sunlight left. Also:

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1015 AM CDT Fri Apr 17 2026

There is a trailing boundary extending south from ongoing
convection across the Minneapolis area.  This boundary may be
an initial source for forcing as it spreads towards northern
Illinois in the mid afternoon time frame. The airmass is still
stable per the extensive area of billow clouds across Iowa,
however we have noted a significant uptick in the dewpoints out
ahead of this feature. Instability progs would suggest by the
time this boundary arrives northern Illinois should destabilize,
and thus there at least some concerns for a leading round of
convection, which could be in the form of supercells with an all
hazard threat. Some questions still exists as to whether this
will just graze the local area or continue to push closer to the
Chicago metro area. There is a shortwave across Missouri that
also slide through the area ahead of the cold front which could
be a mechanism to keep convection farther east, so this will be
a mesoanalysis focus in the coming hours. Limiting factors for
this first round convection having a larger footprint would be
that the forcing is a bit more subtle, and we still have a
fairly deep dry layer ahead of this boundary.

Regardless of this, low level flow will reintensify ahead of
the cold front which should help to keep instability up into the
evening hours, where a damaging wind threat would be the
highest concern, along with a QLCS tornado threat. Thoughts from
the morning AFD still tell the story quite well.
