I havent been over here in years. No wonder why you have such a range of temps, forgot how much the elevation changes in short distances over here. Sorry in advance about your kitchen window, i tend to slice the ball. Lol

LOL! Yeah, I can get quite the range in temps between my house on the top of the hill where the parking lots are. I've driven through the inversion in the middle of the hill many times over the years.

Hows stony ford gc looking? Playing there wed. 

Its all good. You may see some of the trees down along 416 on the left as you come up the hill from 207 if you come through Goshen depending on how quickly that clean up happens. You'll be within raiding range of my beer fridge when you tee off at 16. I'll let the maintenance guys know that you'll be around and if they see you walking through the maintenance yard towards my house to stop you at all costs! That said, It would be cool to set something up one day after you golf there for a couple cold ones on the deck.

.28 yesterday with some gusty winds as it came through, lots of small branch's and leaves down in my yard. A number of trees down close by though. The power flickered but didn't go out thankfully.

 

Took a quick look at some of the damage on the way into work and over the span of 1.5 miles some of the trees were blown down in different directions. Might have been a weak downburst, which Upton mentioned the possibility of in a few of their dicussions. 

While doing some yard clean up yesterday from the storm my grandson saw me raking and said “Fall!”, not yet buddy. So glad I cleaned up in the morning because yesterday afternoons winds blew down the down stuff that was still hung up in the trees…oh well, it doesn’t look as bad it as did.

I zoomed in and see part of NYC included as well.

Watch likely northern area - whether that is extended south is anyones guess mainly because of poor timing

And great for not sweating

If you work hard enough you be surprised at the low temps at which one can still sweat.

It’s not the driving up as much as the driving down, IMO.

That also seems pretty early for the last freeze of the spring. My temperature records aren't as extensive, but my average date for the last freeze is right around the beginning of May.

I still need to plug in all the numbers for my cool seasons stats tab but not including this year my average last freeze date is 4/24. My latest last freeze was 30 on 5/15/23.

That’s a pain in the ass, hopefully no damage, that’s a bigger pain in the ass.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 235
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   205 PM EDT Wed May 20 2026

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Southern Connecticut
     Delaware
     Eastern Maryland
     New Jersey
     Southeast New York
     Eastern Pennsylvania
     Coastal Waters

   * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 205 PM
     until 900 PM EDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
     Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will develop and track eastward
   across the watch area through the afternoon and evening.  Hot and
   unstable conditions will lead to conditions supportive of damaging
   wind gusts in the strongest storms.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55
   statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles northwest of
   Wilmington DE to 25 miles southeast of Groton CT. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.

   &&

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 234...

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few
   cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
   27030.

 Mesoscale Discussion 0804
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1252 PM CDT Wed May 20 2026

   Areas affected...portions of the Mid-Atlantic into southern New
   England

   Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

   Valid 201752Z - 201845Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...Widely scattered thunderstorms will bring a risk for
   damaging wind gusts and isolated large hail through this evening. A
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed soon.

   DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations indicate that surface
   temperatures have warmed into the low 90s F across portion of the
   Mid-Atlantic. Coupled with mid-60s F dewpoints, this is supporting
   500-1000+ J/kg MLCAPE across the area, with further destabilization
   expected through peak heating this afternoon. Expectation is for
   ongoing thunderstorm activity across Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234
   to expand eastward, with additional development also possible along
   an approaching cold front. 20-30 kts of effective shear will support
   multicells, and perhaps marginal supercells. Steep low-level lapse
   rates (8+ C/km per latest objective analysis) and dewpoint
   depressions of 20-25+ F will promote the potential for damaging wind
   gusts, especially with any more well-organized clusters that
   develop. Isolated large hail may also accompany the most robust
   updrafts. A new Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed soon.

Rob within a few minutes of the beginning if my power walk I feel the pollen in my throat. Then clearing the throat and guarded choking begins. It eases as the warm season progresses. Presently it’s 89 in my slice of urban paradise.  The park, 8 miles to my north, is a NWS reported 84, as always …..

Yeah, this is peak tree pollen time, it will start to drop off soon but not soon enough for those of us who feel the symptoms. 89/55 here now with a breeze which on the one hand feels good but on the other is making the pollen worse.
