I'll behave myself, but this made me think of Mama June. 

In all seriousness, if humanity makes it untill the end of the month, I think it's possible.

There was a lot of hail with that one. Pictures and video on Facebook. That storm was on my doorstep but petered out before it got here, just got some rain from it. https://www.facebook.com/paweatherplus/posts/pfbid07E2DrsjgqnwyoajhFpzDx6xhx8KNtuj4kKqcSnogwR4sJhXSSLJoj5Z1x2JraZrxl

I saw several hail videos on Facebook last evening from State College.

There's some severe risk on Thursday in the Upper Mississippi and  Ohio valleys. Getting an expansion and shift this for east, is asking for a lot, but, I don't think it's outside the realm of possibilities considering the expansions, we've seen the last two weeks. Expansion/ shifts or not. It keeps up the pattern of early spring severe risk being displaced north and east.

As a weather geek I thought yesterday was kind of neat - my temp was in the mid 50s at 11am and I still managed a high of 83. I was able to watch the temp steadily rise on the station which doesn't happen often.

Me thinks there's going to be a lot of active weather in the coming months.
