The atmosphere is warming up nicely...could get interesting in a couple hours.

Keep up posted Delta...Severe storm right on your doorstep.

An antibody test wouldn't be as effective so close to the actual illness. I've seen recommendations taking it 2 weeks after symptoms disappear.

Where can one get an antibody test for COVID?

Regarding grounding, here's a cool 'grounded' mouse pad. Simple way to get some free electrons while on the computer.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNG6MRK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3M23BJZDZS43T&psc=1

If this were happening to a significant amount of relatively healthy people, I'd be more concerned.

I do. Very nice on those cooler summer nights. Used a grill cover on it for the winter...put the grill in the garage.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378297/ I think there's another I posted a couple pages ago...didn't read through them all, but there is some interesting data. We know that inflammation is a significant contributor to may health issues.

Breastfeeding is such a good thing for infants - this being one of those! We've experienced the same with multiple kid and the Croup & RSV. Babies had minimal symptoms and quick recoveries.

Yup, BIG difference between CBD and THC. Not molecular, but the way it binds to our CB1 receptors causing the psychoactive effects. I'm all for medical use of CBD oil, but there's no medical need for THC.

Promise to keep posting model runs here in the winter.

"There have been no new cases of the novel coronavirus among the hundreds who flouted social distancing guidelines and attended pool parties at Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks over Memorial Day weekend, a state health official said this week." Could be something to the whole outside, pool, beach thing...

They issued a warning for that cell.

Anyone have a link to the damage reports from the NWS?

They fizzled out right before hitting. Looks like the south end of this MCS is hitting PA quite hard.

Delta, you might get clipped by that new cell. Warning just posted.

Warning with half dollar sized hail. Yikes.

Can you see any sprites above?

I stand corrected...didn't realize the first one was so close to form. Thanks Delta. Some lightning starting to show up to the NW and SW of ROC.

Potential MCS, 2 of them apparently. The first is now forming in MN, the second is progged to form in the AM and pass through mid-morning. Buf AFD explains it quite well: There will potentially be two MCS (or remnants of) which will impact the region tonight through Wednesday morning. Convective waves are always challenging to forecast, with forecast confidence increasing once the convection starts to develop. This is happening with the first wave this afternoon, with this wave forecast to move across Western NY tonight between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. SPC highlights a slight risk of severe weather with this wave, with strong to damaging winds the primary threat and large hail a possibility. Wind shear is forecast to increase, enhanced by winds generated from the MCS which is forecast to develop. Timing is a bit late for severe weather, but Western NY should be in the warm sector by then with SB CAPE increasing to 500 - 1000 J/Kg this evening. Some storms may produce locally heavy rains, but our region will be on the southern flank of the circulation with cellular storms expected to develop rather than a large area of rain. After this moves through there will be a break in the action late tonight, with only scattered showers. However, there is good agreement among mesoscale guidance that a second MCS will move across far Western NY around daybreak Wednesday. Unlike the first wave, our region will be in the northern sector of this wave, which will limit the severe weather potential but increase the risk for heavy rain. Precipitable water values will increase to around 1.75 inches, which supports the risk for heavy rain. If this complex materializes, rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches are likely. One factor which will help mitigate flood risk is that the system will move through quickly, but depending on the extent of the system it could pose a small risk for flooding. Most likely timing is between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m.

If this mutation is real, I think we all can hope it's happening everywhere...

Good. I'd really like an extended Spring, since Summer tend to come in at full force too quickly.

Not too much of a shadow going on with this wind direction.

On one hand, I like being protected from severe weather by the lakes, but on the other, would like to experience some big ones sometimes.
