Torchageddon

Way overperformed, Got to 28C/82F my point was 23!! Humidex may be even moreso, 32C forecast was 24 at most. Feels like a nice blanket of heat despite the clouds. Winds are solid - steady 40 km/h gusts to 60 estimating.

Was 20C at 5am this morning, nice but didn't feel it. WUN removed the storms off the hourlies HRRR 10z 12z don't show anything here, RRFS-A 9z had meaty cells popping nearby at 3pm then the line starting south of K-W.

Perfect wx day here, blue skies and over performed to 24C/75F once again. This is my favorite so far of the year since last Weds it was also 24 but didn't have that warm wind mid-day and its far more green too. Tomorrow on tap to be another ride with anomalous high DPs, supercell potential throughout SON (TWN is a bit aggressive), high winds. I'm eager to find out what storm mode we're getting.

I'm over-performing by a lot, up to 24C/75F - warmest day so far of 2025. The clouds stuck around a bit longer than I'd like til 2:30 now mostly sunny. First I've felt very warm doing activities out there too.

Had yet another 8am storm with loud thunder and streaks of lightning in the sky. A spicy cell moving quick to my north. This April has been nuts, based on memory I think its the most storms I've gotten in April, even more than some entire years! Also nearly the 3rd 8am storm this month. Tantalizingly 2 more days in my 10 day show storms - I'm up to 10 at least mostly from those multi round days. Harkens back to the late 90s.

I got slammed here too, so many waves of tstorms yesterday into this morning (5 rounds). I didn't get thunder/lightning in the morn as shown but a pouring rain, then by evening I got the boomers with the multi-cluster mode giving me an intense storm before 1am with window rattling thunder, frequent sheet lightning! Woke up at 5am to another fat cell chugging along. 5mm/.2" in a hour, got 16mm/.63" on Fri. April/WF delivers again, I probably won't get as good storms for the rest of the year starting in June . Fri was unique in a way with its bookend storms, then 67F high by 4pm with sun for a few hrs, then dark overcast agian by 6pm, with multi rounds. Should've known due to morn event with the sun coming out later it was going to be a big night!

Reached 20C/70F and is partly sunny, racing puffy clouds!! Forecast was 14C and rain

I haven't been feeling good this week with the return of gloomy winter-like wx. Way too much overcast and bitter winds, I and others I'd speak to felt cold early this week no matter the situation. Worse off now than I was in January with it being boring, snowless. Great time to escape to a warm sunny spot (in April). This afternoon getting a rain and snow combo 5C/41F.

Getting a bunch of storms this evening as expected, but what wasn't is the first had intense CGs; I counted 6. I typically don't get much cg lightning its rare, once a year. I've noticed my best lightning in recent years has been in April. This is also the most intense tstorm with a temp so low 3.5C at the time of the first. My DP has been floating 0.2 above my air temp since 9. Didn't have the wait long for the 2nd, 20 mins later another randomly sprung up with frequent lightning but no cgs. That lasted nearly 45 mins over 100 strikes. At 11:30 I now have a third round, thank God this isn't in the middle of the night like that one April 6th belter years ago.

Watching that monstrous violent stovepipe tornado live was surreal, this is unreal!

Just got a huge clap of thunder with the heavy snow starting, only the 3rd time I've experienced thundersnow! The temp was -2C when this took place! It seemed to go on for over 50 seconds too with a second roar near the end. Good shit

The crush is coming, just 1 hr from heavy snow and insanely WUN is showing at 12pm of 7cm/2.75" in 1 hour!! I've never seen that rate forecast here. Radar showing in Sarnia/Lake St Claire area the heaviest snow band I've seen in a few years. Its going to be 1 hr of freezing rain, then heavy rain soon after with a tstorm by 11pm. 7-12cm of snow, then 16mm of rain same day, then sunny and 13C tomorrow. Dynamic is an understatement.

Didn't get any synoptic winter storm here in Mar despite the overall harsh winter, the streak continues. It was a good March up til the last 4 days of terrible overcast, yesterday the 31st was loathsome cold wise. This winter had some good nuggets and it never got extremely cold meaning below -20C for more than 1 or 2 days.

Got my first 20C of the year, my high was 22C/75F! Waterloo ON got their first 20 too and the UW station contest just ended a few mins ago at 4pm it reached 20.1C! It happened so fast that the director hasn't even updated the page yet which is another first. Somehow despite the immense snowpack the temps around here keep overperforming. Most of the snow is gone.

I'm tasked to get my first 20C/70F temp high later which is surprising, even sunny during that! . That would really make this March shine. One of the fastest melts I've seen there are huge/complete patches of grass now but just weeks ago 35" snow depth smother. Early spring here also not surprising. Crazy to see blizz warnings for southern KS!!?
