Friend in Arkansas in a tornado warning. Sent me a video with sirens going off. It’s going to pass extremely close to him

Anyone familiar with GIS? One of my two courses in the Fall is Principles of GIS. GIS looks sick and really cool...I just am absolutely, abysmal and not equipped for coding so I'm a little nervous I've tried a million times to try and learn/understand python and get nowhere.

Our perceptions have become so extremely skewed. I mean think about how much talk there has been about heat/humidity (and the lack of). I mean its freaking May, especially when it comes to humidity. It seemed like in the 90's and 2000's (only using this period because well it's what I am old enough to remember) we really wouldn't get "humid" until like later June or early July and it was generally 60's dewpoints. We wouldn't sniff 70 until late July or August. But its freaking May 19 lol. I'd say this has been about as "normal" as a Spring can be for this region. We've had a share of shit days and a share of great days. The warmest days have seen many spots get well into the 80's.

Pretty much a lock. At minimum Marchand just needs to play in 2 games against the Canes.

7 in a row. Them and the Avs both hold that current streak.

Pretty nice morning... unless you're a Toronto Maple Leafs fan

68 isn't bad by itself...but its a different feel when you have thick overcast and a breeze. 68 as a room temperature is comfortable, but sit in the room with a fan blowing on you and that 68 isn't going to be as comfortable anymore (though I get some people enjoy that).

Avg doesn’t mean it can’t be cool nor does it mean it can’t be hot. if the average temp is 23 and it’s 23 outside, it might be average, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s cold. if the average temp is 99 and it’s 99 out, it might be average, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s hot.

And that's a scary thought.

Not looking likely. Continues to look like the Arctic/PNA domains are going to play a heavy influence at least into the first week of June. Maybe not so much the NAO or AO but I would have think some of the daily PNA values have to be nearing top 5 for the upcoming period. Going to be tough to get a really hot summer here, if for any reason we don't even look to be building any sustained or early heat in the southwest. There's been fluxes of some big early season heat in the Southwest into Texas but not sustaining.

doesn't feel like it with thick overcast and a stiff breeze.

It’s so chilly out this blows

I wouldn’t be fretting about temperatures this far out. If we end up with more clouds/precip the most extreme of the cool anomalies will verify, if we end up with less precip and sneak in sun then we end up probably within a few degrees of average (solely talking daytime temps here)

Nice view of the storms to the north

Are you going to the game in Dallas?

58 knots KDTO

Range folding going on. That’s a tough spot though for rotation from the radar sites

Eh I broke the rule of not animating…looks more like straight line wind signal

Have to watch that, some decent rotation

Yup that will probably be the best/only cell really this far east.

Nasty cell east of pittsfield

Nice looking hook near Schenectady

From the temperature profile (which this is also apparent by how poor the 700-500 lapse rates are) convection would really struggle in that environment. The llvl turning is nice but not a ton of speed shear there in the lowest 3km or really through the column...winds aren't really increasing with height. Could see some gusty winds in that environment with the dewpoint depression/inverted-v look

Yeah this is more central/northern New England today. Best forcing too late for southern areas. Those mlvl lapse rates hang on a few more hours today and there could be some nasty storms up north.
