Hopefully not a bad wildfire summer in the US. With all these fires going on everywhere the ozone layer is going to get depleted and we'll have to live underground as we will be attacked by UVA rays and turn to lobsters

I was wondering if perhaps overdone, but there seems to be support. PWATS are quite high. I can't recall a scenario where we've seen PWATS increase from the north. Its over the top moisture advection.

Pretty decent QPF signal along the boundary pushing southwards. Not a lot of shear around so anything that pops will be fairly slow moving.

More 30's over the past few weeks then we'll see all winter?

It's coming

There is the track space! There was a screen in the garage which I was hopeful would fit bit it was too small. I’ll measure to see what’s right. I was hoping the price was less then that but oh well

Good night for beer pong although it’s a bit chilly out

I’m going to repaint on my vacation

Just a new screen. A screen that would fit into this so the glass door could be opened

How expensive are sliding door screens?

A friend coming up today. Thank God, he can help me install the AC's. It's amazing how how the house gets. Super hot when its warm and frigid in the winter.

Long-range GFS is EML city

What I would really like is to chase stuff or setups like they’ve had the past few days in eastern New Mexico/western Texas. Or when they get them in Montana/Wyoming/northern Plains. Everyone wants the high risk days but the structures with some of the storms the last few days have been amazing

Nah we stay local. We have always talked about going out West but I don’t even think it’s worth it anymore with all the chaser convergence and idiots that are out there.

This is ridiculous. My friend and I even pushed back our two weeks this year until the first and second week of June. We always did last week of May/first week of June and had success each year from 2009 when we started through like 2018. I think one year sucked. Then we didn’t in 2019 but didn’t the covid years and started back last year. Last year sucked so we pushed ahead. This is bullshit. Sick of this crap

We may not get any severe threats this year...horrible.

The best way to avoid worrying about plants with freezing temperatures is by not planting

Here we are through 05/23

It is nice to see what the sky looks like again without smoke.

Springfield is really weird with prices. I know it depends on station/area but some stations in Springfield are rather cheap (relatively speaking) and some stations are sky high. There is a Citgo and a Shell maybe a mile apart and the Citgo is like $.15 to $.20 cheaper. That just seems absurd to me.

It's like as soon as you get used to the lower price...boom its back up I think I paid $3.77 in Windsor Locks yesterday and I was just about on empty so just over $40 to fill up. I feel terrible for those that take double that to fill up.

And there's nothing to really prevent it from happening :/ Oh for sure...but this cycle has seen to be going on for at least a few months I've noticed. Now my sample size is small (basing on a few gas stations in Springfield then down in CT but the past 3-4 months it seems like we'll get a drop in gas prices (closing in on $3 at times and even a bit below) and then within 2 days its up $.30 again...then in a few weeks it will drop into the 3.10's then within 3-4 days be into the 3.40's...and each drop is higher then the previous drop and each max higher then the last.

I like to think of spring in two ways 1. Get us to consistent hot/humid weather 2. Then get active with convection I can tolerate boring April/May so long its a great transition to warm weather...but I'm really storm starved right now. I hate seeing the signal moving into the second week of June, but I'm placing little confidence in that range at this point. I'm hoping a lot of these inconsistences we're seeing is a signal of a pattern change, though I'm also fearing it's due to just anomalous departures within the pattern.

Thanks...figured moving into summer blend had something to do with it...which I always found to be a bunch of crap and just a reason to drive prices up but what do I know. It's just so frustrating...there is absolutely zero reason for prices to be this high...absolutely none whatsoever.

Anyone who follows gas/oil WTF has been going on. Gas will drop like $.15 in a few week span and then all of a sudden jump up $.30 in two days.
