It is sooooo depressing when you see big CAPE building into the upper-Midwest and Great Lakes region then watch it just get destroyed and shunted to our southwest when you loop it. Very depressing

Yeah not a fan of it at all. Who knows, maybe this will be bought up during the next CBA meetings which will be shortly (they've already been addressing some topics).

I would have been on fire had the Bruins advanced too, setting up a B's/Canadiens second round matchup. What sucks about the current playoff format is the Bruins/Canadiens will never face each other in the conference finals...unless the league goes back to 1-8 formatting which doesn't sound like will be happening anytime soon.

Awful last night, can't count how many times the heat kept kicking in. Was literally like February with how much the heat kept consistently coming on. At least its warmed up out but that wind negates it a bit. Quite the snowstorm about to unfold for Denver too lol...bufkit spitting out a foot of snow on NAM/GFS for Denver lol.

yes but beer is added in as well

It's here everyone

we prepare to start tracking convective threats.

Finally some signals we may turn the tables a bit after the first week.

Down to the final day!

give it another several weeks

Yeah looks like a quiet period upcoming but some signals things may get a bit more active...probably around the time too many are heading out to the Plains to chase. But def can't sleep on next week, have to see what moisture return is like but that is going to be an anomalously strong jet traversing the deep South again

I think the worst outdoor event I've endured was my high school graduation. Having to wear a suit under our gown that day and it was in the mid 90's under full sun...the ceremony I think was late afternoon but it was brutal. Thankfully they were very stocked and prepared with waters for everyone. Second would have to be this event which hosted a ton of various sports mascots from around the region. It was when I worked part time with the Town of West Hartford and at the skating rink and our mascot went (and my brother was the mascot and I was the guide). It was in the 90's that day...I felt absolutely horrible for those in the costumes but they had a ton of tents with AC/fans and plenty of water. Some of the costumes even had built in fans.

It was awful. All of a sudden I started hearing a noise and said to my girlfriend, "Do I have a flat?" so I pulled over and the tire was toast. It was around 10:00 PM and we had been driving for over 3 hours. Not too mention it was chilly. The guy who came almost seemed hesitant to even want to change the tire, he said a lot of people get killed in that area. That is scary stuff too...I've seen quite a people walking along sides of highways, most because their car broke down but I'd be petrified.

Very much so, they're both meteorologists too But they were willing to take the gamble. Gotta live dangerously sometimes lol

I recall being happy about the prospects last week but I totally forgot about the wedding. Its an outside wedding too I believe so I don't want their ceremony to be ruined from rain. Just hoping its one of those quick ceremonies then we can get to the reception then I can settle in and get the Bruins game loaded on my phone

Really happy actually this end of the week rain isn't panning out. Have to drive to New Jersey tomorrow evening for another wedding Friday night. I just hope this journey is better than our trip to Long Island two weeks ago. My rear passenger tire decided to go flat on the Long Island Expressway about 10 minutes from our hotel. That was incredibly scary having to stand in this divider area between guardrails where the highway split off waiting for All State to come and change out the tire (I have to invest in a tool to do this myself).

2 days left...exciting stuff

WOW! Been some monster hailers these past few days. I wonder if we can pull off a 4.50-5.00" in Texas today.

Good point. There might not have been that much of a recovery time, despite the evolving environment.

I have considered this. Perhaps I should, then May's not suck anymore

3 days left

I was initially shocked to see the PDS tornado watch, especially given it was south of where the best overlap of ingredients seemed to be and even south of the moderate risk which was for the higher tornado probs. I wonder if the lack of upper-level forcing was a big culprit in this...those situations are always a challenge because too much forcing (or too strong) and you'll have convection developing all over the place making it difficult for convection to become mature enough and utilize the environment fully. Probably should throw in capping too...that EML may have been a bit too strong (coincident with the weaker forcing). This may have been a huge issue even in Missouri...many of those cells were really trying to take off but something was impeding those updrafts from really taking off.

2 tornado warnings for STL in like 90 minutes

pretty crazy...went from a chill with the heat kicking on a few hours ago to about ready to open windows

4 days to go Equal to the number of goals the Bruins allowed in the first period in game 4
