Torchageddon

Do you mean the model or me?

I just checked the GFS, I'm just relived that it has the GLs deep into the reds too. Its hard to have crappy overcast skies in such a regime.

I'm going to be playing this game again, next Tue is not going to be 21C but more like 28C with a 30C possible. I'd lean to my first 30C reading of the year occurring during next week's heat being a certainty. I can't believe PMX's medium-range forecasts are this bad!

That's more like it.

I recall it being after 2013, likely 2015. It was some gorgeous heli shots (from stated media) of weak tornadoes with sun-rays lighting parts of the landscape.

Weird, just before I saw this that scene is exactly what I'd imagined it'd be - like a few other OK tor days.

For those in SE MI how much sunlight was there from Thurs-Sat? I saw some cirrus hanging around close but I didn't have mine til later Sat. Considering the nightmare we're in I was surprised I got that much sun those 3 days which gives me pause.

I lol'd at the tags for this one, as long as its sunny this month I do mind.

Its weird but wonderful waking up to clear blue skies morning after morning, I'm not getting those mid-day slumps anymore and I'm more on the ball. I do have a thin layer of cirrus from the low in the mid-west. Hoping to get over 20C today as the forecast under-estimates during these diurnal swing periods. Likely had the largest swing of the season; -1C overnight.

Even though I checked things a few hours ago I missed the historic tornado, fascinating that its behavior had characteristics to the Wynnewood EF4 and also had a likeness to it on the ground! Briefly it reminded me of the Andover tornado of 1991. How come there was only one post in here while it was actually in progress? Catch that many off guard? https://twitter.com/Tornadof123/status/1520236918822567938?s=20&t=BQwSLNwFJdGf1CR72vaMFg

It seems there needs to be a lot of cloud cover in the Central US/Southern Canada for us in the eastern Great Lakes to get clear skies.

Something very rare: I'm suppose to get 39 hours of sunlight during the next 72 hours including today's full sun . I'm skeptical about "not a cloud til Sun" however I'll take this despite the meager temps. I feel very cold when not in direct sunlight today with that wind.

What is this row of clouds that generated south to north? By 2:40 I'm already mostly cloudy with sunny breaks

I never got myself sorted on the exact differences so I found this article: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/humidex-vs-heat-index-whats-the-difference/10243 "The equation used to calculate the humidex is different from what is used for the Heat Index in the United States. Therefore, one cannot convert the Heat Index to Celsius to compare conditions in the two countries. For example, at a temperature of 32 °C with a relative humidity of 50%, the Heat Index would be 35 °C, but the humidex would be 39." For the equation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex I'm currently sitting at 26C with a humidex of 30. There is just enough of a breeze that unless I'm standing in direct sunlight I still feel a slight tinge of coolness!

Compared to recent it'll feel that way as my humidex is suppose to be 28-30C later. Right now my DP is 13C/55F.

Temp is soaring with full sun here, I went up 1C just in the last 10 mins. Can't wait to feel the sultry airmass.

And there it is: PMX Engine is easy. Trace amounts of snow next week and a whole lot of clouds!

Now 25C, 1C left. Humidex set to a steamy 29C. In less than a day, all this green grass is showing up despite the cold and snow. This was going to be the sunniest day of the next 7, but I've barely got any so far. 9 Hrs of sunlight not happening but its slowly clearing. Tomorrow looks good in the late day so hoping the bulk of the rain occurs overnight and shoves off.

Sun high has been increased to 24C, 2C left to go. The winds this afternoon were wicked, I think even higher than last Fri's event.

Its not tolerable IMBY because below avg doesn't equal sunny unless its Jan/Feb. The last thing I need here is a NW flow!!

I started off my morning by seeing overcast skies, white surfaces with a cold wind. Then a headline from TWN "Every major Canadian city is below seasonal on Tuesday, more cold in sight" and now this. So the crackpot extended GFS may not be junk? I'm excited.

If something even remotely close to that pans out, may as well have a solid snowstorm in early May just for the novelty factor. The leaves aren't coming out anytime soon anyways.

Ouch I feel that pain, I actually thought the opposite last Spring where I was convinced there was no way a repeat for 2022 was on tap - indeed. I was thinking of leaving Mar/Apr specifically because I knew it was going to be atrocious. Looking at the coming week I'm estimated to have 27 hours of total sunlight. I doubt I'll get that much despite it being an already low value. Next Sun my high is set to 20C/68F but I think I'll overperform and get to ~26C.

This has been an extremely awful Easter weekend for weather, and here it fell on a late weekend slot . April 16th specifically may have had the worst wx I've ever seen for that date - zero redeeming factors aside from some brief clear skies that morning then the darkness and damp cold followed. Today is similar despite the overachieving temps. I can't believe its going to get even worse tomorrow. I hope the full run of the GFS after 200 hours is on crack.

I was awoken by a pre-dawn storm just to my north, two cells sliding in tandem that developed on the shoreline. I literally slept on this potential - only recalled the afternoon storms. I hated these because the lightning wasn't a joke - a visible but distant strike knocked my power out for 2 mins. The last time I lost power from any storm in April was 2009 for a few seconds. Other reason for my disdain is it was a troll storm; every time I looked away after watching for mins it immediately flashed. No rain. Was 9C feeling like 6.
