  1. Caught 0.69 this morning and another 0.54 this afternoon for 1.23" total. We didn't get the big totals from Beryl down this way, but have 3.21" in the past six days, with several more rounds possible in the next couple of days.
  2. LOL at SPC in issuing a Watch for our county at 12:46 PM EDT, 20 minutes after IWX issued a warning for us, which was promptly canceled an hour later. I was out spotting and only got a 48 MPH gust, but there were a few trees/limbs down in the area, including a limb into my daughter's brand new fence and shed. The rest of the tree is leaning against the power pole in the background. There was a nice little feature on radar as the line approached (I failed grab the couplet on velocity) that had me concerned, but nothing came of it.
  3. This morning’s 3k NAM is trash. Didn’t initialize correctly, not even picking the storms currently rolling through Chicagoland this morning
  4. One of my favorite times of the year in Indiana with multiple rounds of nocturnal boomers possible Sunday-Tuesday nights.
  5. It was mentioned that this is just like tracking a winter storm. And just like a winter storm, I seem to always get the rug pulled out from under me. Just because I trusted the Euro. Northwest trend FTL once again.
  6. You have to be old like me to get this one
  7. Got 1.54" in about 2 1/2 hours this morning, along with some nice rumbles. However, 15 miles north only had .22". Rain pretty much formed overhead and kept backbuilding on the prefrontal trough. Looks like anything else before the front rolls through later will be isolated/scattered..
  8. I just realized that FWA set a record for the warmest lows for four nights in a row from Monday through Thursday, with temps never getting below 70. Yesterday morning got down to 69 and this morning's low was 72, but 1988 said "Hi."
  9. Nothing beats the smell of petrichor, except actually getting the rain of course.
  10. Wind farms are really showing up well on radar this morning
  11. The subtitle of this thread is “Stick a fork in it already.” What’s not to like about the most beautiful weather to begin June that we’ve experienced in years in this part of the Subforum, and to now get to enjoy a nice early summer heat dome, with possible some ring of fire action?
  12. It is shocking to me that the southern UP barely received my seasonal average.
  13. The real bust is here. A couple of days ago, NWS had my area of Northern Indiana with a 60% chance of rain yesterday and an 80% chance last night. Then yesterday morning they dropped the chance for daytime rain 30% after 2 PM, but continued the 80% chance last night and 90% chance all day today. Waking up to clear skies, no overnight rain, and still an 80% chance, but only after 2 PM. I think I'll go ahead and water my garden this morning.
  14. 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".
  15. I would be happy with cooler than normal from mid-May on
  16. 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.
  17. The bottom one is called a Majesty Palm. I don't know much about it except it is also supposed to be cold hardy.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
