Latest NAM looked decent for some storms in CT, especially in western CT. Sounding looked alright for the Hartford area. Would prefer more DCAPE but hopefully I can get some good pics today. 

Cool neutral at best ASO in my opinion. I think a niño is highly unlikely.

Looks like it will be benevolent- recurve and pretty rapidly weaken.

The loop is really interesting. It looks like a buzzsaw that just stops short of landfall. Good for the people out there. 

Florida has seen its fair share of close calls too. Matthew, Dorian, and Isaias come to mind.

Think it’ll recurve cause a major snowstorm in the east for early May LOL 

I’m not as big into connecting the hemispheric dots, but folks like HM think the recurve will dislodge the current pattern and potentially open up severe season in the plains. 

It snowed here last May

That is nuts.

The structure actually looks a bit worse than before but man what a monster. Wish we had some visible imagery. 

190mph/888mb

Absolutely ridiculous for April. 

I don’t usually look at WPAC stuff, but this one is a beauty.

I haven't said a whole lot, but maybe a few noticed I was gone for stretches of time over the past year..... Anyway. I met someone online back in a chat room (for trains) late Feb last year, she lives in SoCal. So, yes, I HAVE traveled a LOT these past 15 months or so, probably 12-14 times. I've flown into SNA, LAX, SEA (first meeting, her sister lives there and she wanted an 'escape' in case I wasn't who I said I was lol) and we've met in STL and DEN a few times, plus seen my son there too. I learned that it is WELL worth the extra 40-60 bucks to fly Delta, they DON"T pack you like cattle and I've only had one cancel/reschedule with them. I started with United, they changed my flight EVERY time and 'packed the bus' each time. I flew with them this last time on short notice and they did it again, so there IS a pattern, just an FYI for those flying. And so I can officially announce that after almost 8 years after my wife passed, I am getting married again in October. Never thought I would be saying that, but she is an awesome person and we are a perfect match, strange how that happens when you aren't even trying to look. She is moving here, likes the slower pace and her company is letting her work from here the last few years she wants to stay. I guess we can call this an announcement, lol.

Congrats! You just never know where life will take you. I'm happy for you.

I’d rather watch spinning cyclones than listen to people squabble over cloth.

I'm only here for the spinning cyclones. It doesn't snow anymore

Can they put the backboards back up on the basketball courts after the snow melts?  I promise not to pass or back anyone down in the low post, just launch 3s.

Check out STYSurigae in the Western Pacific.

This was a really hard week, but I’m happy to introduce my newest art acquisition. This is the one of a few I just got:

We need a thread for tips on roads in areas and special spots in New England.  

Totally agree. Need good spots for shelf cloud season, high elevation vistas, and big surf.

All I’m asking for is something chase worthy. This winter sucked for that.

35.5/34

Rain/Snow mix with more flakes.

Wind outlook  

I really might head west if there’s something high end in the plains this May/June.

NHC updated their report on Isaias and I found it interesting how the tornado reports were so close to the center.

Perhaps it’s because of the baroclinic enhancement? I guess it could also be proximity to the ocean.

o many weakened limbs and trees from the recent stretch of high winds the past year...when we crank up severe season in another month going to be seeing lots of damage this summer. If this is a summer we finally get a derecho...there may not be any trees left come September 

Don’t forget tropical. Long Island Express the sequel is coming in August.

Between snow, severe, drought, and tropical we should achieve total deforestation by Labor Day.  

This thread. This wholesome and happy thread.

Do your hands feel like two balloons yet?

Oh he’s got a lot of em.  

Had Pfizer and the arm soreness started near the injection site and about 8 hours later progressed to my joint. Also had fatigue and nausea. All good in ~24 hours.

they don't even get severe anymore either  

Rough period for chasers out there. Though I’m sure normal people are happy about that. I’m considering a trip to the northern plains this spring. Maybe I can get in front of a high risk derecho .

Anyway—on topic. End week looks robust lol. Nice signal but I worry about rug pulling inside 24h. Berks look nice though.

May's a severe month

I've had a problem being able to see lightning in my area my entire life. I've always lived near trees. I use to get in my car and drive to some spots I had. Life changed forever back in January when I bought a drone. This evening I took that thing 350' straight up and parked it in the sky. I sat there with a huge smile on my face watching lightning and the sunset. The rain shaft was amazing. I could see it coming at me as it was engulfing the landscape as it headed my way. This drone is life changing lol

What was your search process if you don’t mind my asking? I’m thinking to get a drone before I start hitting the road for chase season but I don’t know where to start.
