5-days to go!!!

Correct, and this is the May discussion thread

Well we are just under a week from May which means two things 1) Start of severe season 2) Consistently nicer weather with warmer temperatures Obviously given the hemispheric configuration, we're looking a bit unsettled and on the chilly side at times, especially overnight. However, there could be a pretty significant warmup perhaps moving through the second week of May towards mid-month as there are some signals for troughing to return to the west with ridging building east. May can be a fun month with drastic differences between the start of the month and end of the month. May can also surprise with some decent severe events and a few of our biggest have come in May

Practice for us with severe season under a week away

6-days to go!!!

meh sun angle (whips stick back and forth)

Heat turns on in the West second half of the week. They've been below-average temperatures it seems for 3 months straight California Mountain snow melt going to be wild this week.

Pretty impressive for around here. Yes, there has been a definite drop in violent tornadoes over the past decade (though maybe up a bit this year?). What's really interesting too is aren't tornado related deaths up a bit?

wow just saw there was an EF-2 tornado in New York (Sullivan County) Saturday. I think I saw something that we are off to a historic start in terms of confirmed tornadoes to start the year (even ahead of 2011, but remember it was pretty quiet that year until late April and May). Already an Ef3 in Delaware and an EF2 in New York and were not even into severe season yet.

7-days to go!!!

Great day to just watch the Bruins, Celtics, and Red Sox.

8-days to go!!!

Drive back to Springfield going to suck

Thunder in Groton!!!

At a wedding in Groton. Well at the reception. Lightning off the coast and not the Tampa bay lightning either. Might have to go outside and see if I can see the lightning soon

9-days to go!!!

I do

Top 5 day today

10-day countdown! 10-days to go

Same thing with 84 in Southington...it's puzzling

Saw Kevin Hart at Mass Mutual Center last night...what a show

That's pretty close to how it goes

And as quickly as it became cloudy it became sunny lol

It is quite tedious making so many different composites. I only did those breakdowns for those variables mentioned. When it came to temperatures and 500mb height anomalies I just focused on DJFM. I think though for composites I'm only going to focus on 500mb height anomalies, temperature anomalies, OLR anomalies, SLP anomalies, and precipitation anomalies. I already have pretty much all these done (except for precipitation). I'm highly debating creating a website too where I can post these composites (especially the GIFs) so it will be easier to assess.
