Hope remains alive

Holy shit

Nothing like watching hockey outside

I’m always curious on that myself…especially with these higher magnitude numbers. I’d also be really curious to know how many times per event you see a hail size/wind gust near what’s projected

Now this is a severe thunderstorm watch. Hopefully we can muster up something similar in a few weeks

Severe threat possible Monday!!!

Didn't some kid actually pick him to win? Agreed there. I don't do much betting on DraftKings but when I do I usually go for long-ish hit stuff. I always bet $60 though haha and look for payouts that are $500+ but I don't do this very often. But there are certainly plenty of bets you can do which are low cost high reward if you look hard/close.

Someone in Iowa placed $1,000 on the Reds to win the NL Central the other day Payout would be $750,000

The best way to get rich quick is by going to DraftKings and placing $1,000 on some obscure insanely low probability.

Eh it really wasn’t bad. My girlfriend and a few others kept telling me I was dumb for doing 5 teeth at once and it was going to be brutal but it really wasn’t. The whole procedure only took 35-40 minutes and they had me on nitrous oxide. For take home they gave me oxycodone for if the pain was really intense. I only took 3. One Friday evening, Sunday, and then tonight b/c I ate a lot of chewy foods. I’ve been taking one 600mg ibuprofen each morning but I’d say the pain I’ve had was probably never more than a 2. And two amoxicillin to prevent infection. Just a bit uncomfortable at times with soreness. Ohhh good call on the anti-oxidant vitamins they mentioned that and I completely forgot. I can’t stand black coffee…I’m a cream and super sweet coffee person.

I’ve tried to do some of this before but it’s something I definitely should do…especially if there’s potential tornadoes involved. Thanks for the link! Will check it out now

I can’t wait to be able to have my morning coffee again and now that we’re getting into deep summer, ice’d coffee. I had five teeth extracted Friday and I guess I can’t drink with a straw (so no ice’d coffee. The best park of Dunkin ice’d coffee is drinking it from the straw) and I can’t have coffee because I guess it could increase risk of infection. not sure how long I have to wait but ughhh I miss it

100-105+ with dewpoints in the 70's. What a welcoming that would be.

I'm hoping for an active pattern as we move into the end of May/early June. Geared up to go chasing this year and even into the West...although I've had reservations about going into the Plains. It's always been a goal to go storm chasing out in the Plains but given the downhill spiral the hobby has become I don't think it's worth it. You have people who think they're above the law and blowing stop signs, red lights, making illegal turns - virtually making their own rules. Last thing I need is to get destroyed by some idiot. As much as it sucks chasing around the Northeast my friend and I don't mind it. Technically though I guess you could say we don't "chase". We aren't driving around trying to get to storms. Typically we'll pick a location where everything looks favorable and go to that spot...and once initiation happens we'll make some movement but our goal is to get to an open lot or field and good 30-45 minutes before the storms hit and enjoy it that way. Not racing 90 mph to catch storms.

We're also heading away from synoptically driven precipitation events and more convectively favored precipitation events so those long-range QPF maps don't really mean much.

It's starting to get real

So taunting....so taunting. Just loop

Once the heat comes the dews aren't too far behind.

yes good catch

I had a dream that NBM was showing a high of 98 for BDL Wednesday and 101 Thursday. I don't recall if it was specifically referencing this week but the jest of it is it's great knowing something like that isn't too far around the corner.

This is what we like to see!!!!!!!!

4 years ago today there was a Tornado Watch across parts of upstate New York into Vermont.

The pattern has potential to get very CAPE'y!!!!

I actually vaguely remember this event. This did occur right around the time of the upgrade if I'm recalling correctly...it was this event and a few others across the country which I think highlighted the super cold bias the model then had.

It does appear there is some hope for such a scenario to occur (if we indeed see a cut-off that aggressive). We'll see what happens...both Euro/GFS in general agreement for this cut-off scenario but GFS is just way more intense. I wonder too if there is a great deal of "feedback" here just because of all the convection that is likely to occur within the Plains this week. Much of this shortwave energy which ends up responsible for the cut-off stems from convection in the Plains.
