Morning storms look good

So its pretty funny. Not sure if I told anyone this or not. But my next door neighbor is a photographer and storm chaser. She chases tornadoes all over the midwest. It was destiny to move next door to someone that loves the weather as much as I do. We talk about it all the time. A few pictures from her.

I think I get almost as excited for thunderstorms as lake effect bands. Don't tell tughill that though.

The cloud tops topped 50k feet. Unreal for storms like that around here.

It weakened just a bit as it hit here. Grand island/western portion of Buffalo/along waterfront/tifft park got the hardest hit.

Grand island

best storm ever. I just got like 30 minutes of lightning/shelf cloud/hail video.

Looks to be some big hail. Really rare to see storms like this come from the NW. ...A SPECIAL MARINE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1045 PM EDT... For the following areas... Lake Ontario from and including the Lower Niagara River to Thirty Mile Point... At 1012 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located 10 nm north of Fort Niagara, moving southeast at 45 knots. HAZARD...Wind gusts to 40 knots and large hail.

Just beautiful lightning off my back porch right now.

Buffalo finished: -0.9 for temps in May. -2.5 for April I'm surprised these anomalies weren't greater.

I don't see that? These temps are above average for early June. Thursday Mostly sunny, with a high near 80. Friday Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Sunday Sunny, with a high near 71. Monday Sunny, with a high near 75.

Area in slight risk with 2% tornado chances, 15% hail

Looks like covid is mutating weaker in some strains across the world. https://www.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-losing-potency-top-italian-184358113.html

Mid week we transition to full time summer!

The main reason I don't want it too cold in winter is the lake freezes up quicker. I want to maximize lake eries potential.

I've been here and its beautiful. Pretty close to you guys.

The posters you find on weather forums are the majority of the time going to be ones that like the cold. People that like the heat and sun don't post here, or if they do its rare. I'm similar to a few posters on here that enjoy seasons in seasons. Hot and humid in summer and snowy and relatively cold in winter. There are definitely lakes near you though, they're not a luxury they are everywhere in upstate NY. You have the finger lakes, lake ontario, and several other lakes in and around syracuse, or just hop into a friends pool.

Yeah things won't be normal for a long time. Most likely summer of 2021.

Brazil with 4500 more cases then the USA in the last 24 hours with 120 million less people.

451 PM EDT Fri May 29 2020 The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Warning for... Northeastern Erie County in western New York... Southeastern Niagara County in western New York... * Until 545 PM EDT.. * At 451 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Blasdell, or over Lackawanna, moving northeast at 30 mph. HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees.

Looks like most colleges and most likely schools will start back up in late August/early September for most of the country. Things will finally get back to normal.

If everything goes smoothly we will be at stage 4 by June 30th.

Stage 2 starts tomorrow for most of NY. Stage 2 for Upstate is June 2nd. My Barber is already booked for 2 weeks. Are gyms stage 2 or stage 4? https://www.syracuse.com/coronavirus/2020/05/ny-releases-guidelines-for-offices-retail-shops-real-estate-and-other-phase-2-businesses.html
