    Temperature Forecast Fail

    1.65" overnight in Huntington. I was just checking CoCoRaHS reports around the state and amounts vary wildly, ranging from under two tenths to over 3.5". For example, two stations less than 15 miles from here: Columbia City 0.2 NE - 0.26" and Fort Wayne 1.9 SSW - 0.31".

    I would be happy with cooler than normal from mid-May on

    Hi. Looks perfect for this old retired guy to go on a back yard chase. As I get older, I am shying away from driving for hours. A small target area with ideal chasing terrain, as @nwohweather alluded to, and a familiarity with the road network makes this a go for me.

    The bottom one is called a Majesty Palm. I don't know much about it except it is also supposed to be cold hardy.

    Absolutely no complaints about the spring weather we've enjoyed in Northeast Indiana. I couldn't walk out of the local garden center without picking a couple of these beauts. No, I wasn't influenced by palm dude, but maybe by the above normal temps we've enjoyed this spring.

    Kinda. I’ve had cool weather crops in for three weeks (carrots, onions, peas, strawberries, cabbage, lettuce, potatoes). I was planning on doing the sweet corn, cukes, beans, tomatoes and peppers in the next couple of days. However, that’s on hold for a couple days due to the overproducing rain this afternoon. That’s not unusual for April, as I will end up with over 7 1/2” for the month. Fortunately, it looks like top shelf weather here until at least Friday afternoon.

    The wettest April on record is assured for this area. The record is For FWA is 7.19". They have recorded 6.69" before the early morning rain today. I have already caught 7.32" imby. The past few years, late spring cold has meant late garden planting. This year's it's plenty warm, just too wet. The upside is that the rain has been pretty spread out over previously dry soil, so nothing more than nuisance flooding has occurred.

    You got 99'd.

    IWX received damage reports near Pennville, IN. Subject called and reported that he watched neighbor's shed get blown off and claimed it was a tornado. They received other damage reports nearby. The Jay County EMA director is enroute to do an assessment. Here is the radar grab from that time-frame. I guess there could have been a quick spinup.

    KFWA also switched to hourly at 12:55 (Eastern time) yesterday.

    A Popeye's just opened in Huntington a week ago. I'll give it a try once the throngs quit massing in a month or two. There's a couple of Lee's in Ft. Wayne I've been meaning to try, but never got around to it, especially since the wife's not a big chicken fan. I don't kn ow what her problem is. Dang, I just realized that I made multiple posts about chicken! In the eclipse thread!

    Take your own bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's when you go.

    I'm eating KFC as I am reading this.

    Flood Watches dropped already for tomorrow night thru Friday morning for northeast IN, northwest OH. I'm surprised they issued the Watch, although rivers are pretty full. The ground isn't saturated at the surface, thanks to the breezy conditions and sunshine today, but I guess it won't take much rain due to subsurface soil being wet.
  17. IWXwx
    Yeah, I noticed that too. Kinda eerie.
  18. IWXwx
    Not crazy, the temp dropped a good 5° here.

    Beat me to it. I was just getting ready to upload the same satellite view. I'm glad I stayed put and got to over 99.5%. I understand that traffic is bonkers with people heading north from the path of totality in the southern part of the county. Gridlock.

    Graupel fest here. Coming down in buckets

    Never gets old. I've watched it many times. Good job and trophy catch.
  22. IWXwx
    I said earlier in the banter thread that I was fearing the northwest trend
  23. IWXwx
    I'm in the same boat, but about 5 miles from totality. I'm staying put, the back yard is good enough for me. I've told everyone that will listen that it's gonna be cloudy anyway, just because that's the odds.

    Cars and semis flipped as the tornado crossed I 71 near LaGrange KY
