Can already hear thunder 

[CT Valley Snowman]

We bang.  

[weatherwiz]

Decent storm…lots of lightning. 

[Snowedin]

My poor dog is totally gone wake up soon with the thunder. I swear she has a sixth sense for when storms are approaching too. My poncho is ready!

[CoastalWx]

 Can see the ltg flash from the storms by Fall River to the cape.

[CoastalWx]

Some stuff just north now. What a Steiner pattern.

[Modfan2]

Most storms slid to the north or south here overnight, only 0.06. Summery 53F out

[Torch Tiger]

Banger!

Thanks man. Nothing like a beautiful landscape to look out upon . Weed free , green , leaves on trees . The small things in life mean a lot to me . It’s a lot of work each week .. already pruning shrubs etc.  but it’s worth it 

Lawn looks great. Hydrangeas and peonies about to bloom here already. Everything probably about a week or two early here. 

And before anyone comments about fertilizer and pesticides my lawn is 100% organic. I use organic fertilizer made from waste distillery grains. Beer...

Where do you get that fertilizer?  Is is a local product?

Looks like FL!

Had a lot of lightning around 3:30 and power went out. Parts of town still out 

[HoarfrostHubb]

A few claps of thunder.  Some rain.   Not bad

West and north is worst this weekend into next week. East is stein until Tuesday or so although a few showers can’t be ruled out.

 

Could be showers and a few tstms tonight after midnight.

We knew

[HimoorWx]

Currently in the Yorkshire Dales in northern England and we just had 3 straight days of mid 70s and sun. Only mid 60s and sun today. Been in England for over a week now without a drop of rain and none in sight. Boy did I pack wrong!

I've been reading about that. You lucked out.

"Homes across England in particular will be baking hot as the May sunshine cooks us in our well-insulated buildings built to withstand the cold British winters rather than 30C-plus summer sun for extended periods."

 

They should have listened to Ditty. He tried to tell them.

Gonna be interesting tomorrow from about LWM to HFD and points N and W. Can’t rule out a storm near and south of the pike, but could be a few nasty storms along frontal boundary.

[CoastalWx]

Looks like 1-2” down by the cape. They love nocturnal storms.

Quiet and dry here so far.

Purely Organics and yeah it's local as the bag says it's made in Portsmouth NH. I get it at my local garden center but I've seen it in some Home Depot's. 

The grains are probably from some brewery in the Portsmouth area as the bags say it's made from waste distillery grains.  Even gives your lawn a hint of beer smell when you put it down. Haha

hoping for some good CB scapes but that looks like it may deteriorate into a grunge warm sector sky type... which is all distant rumbles.  At least it's warm.  

Saturday's sort of transformed into a deep warm sector day as the week went on.

chase day?

[Typhoon Tip]

these laboring warm frontal days are a paint drying slog.    It's cutting across middle NJ but looking at hourly obs it appears to be moving north and will be up here mid afternoon, unless there's some sudden broader scaled mix out/leap in position which sometimes happens in these tuck regions E of the els..    I could see it being 62/57 murk at 2pm and agonizing ...then at 3:45 pm it's suddenly 77/65 as far N as ASH -

Brian should be dammed and damned until tomorrow.   

If we can peel away more of the mid and high level gunk, then the sun may help to speed this up too.   We're less than a week before the doorway into the solar max time of year.   Long journey that seemed like a nightmare hallway stretching out of reach this time.   I think I'm getting older.
