Very nice storm around here. Wind, pea sized hail and over 1.5 inches of rain so far

Nice pics. I didn't have any trees come down here. A lot of 40 to 50mph gusts here. Nice storm. I got 0.40" from the downpour with the storm, and now adding a little more with some moderate rain. Much-needed rain.

With the rain coming on Saturday, I'm glad I'll finally be able to take a break from watering the vegetable garden for awhile.

Worst of the Queens cell passing to my south. Clouds have a greenish hue, so I guess hail in on the menu.

[JonClaw]

Spoke too soon. Torrential rain and strong gusts.

Seems like a lot of rot; these storms will expose them. Hopefully not a lot of property damage.

Forget about the rain or wind. 
 

it is crazy dark here in Jamaica. I would think it was nighttime if I didn’t know what time it was. Insane. 

[BobbyHolikWillFindYou]

Petrichor is insanely strong right now. Just wow.

[steve392]

A sprinkle is all we're getting.  

[dmillz25]

Today was another hot day. High temperatures included:

Atlantic City: 97° (old record: 96°, 1996)
Baltimore: 96° (old record: 95°, 1962)
Bangor: 87° (old record: 86°, 1996 and 2003)
Boston: 90°
Bridgeport: 93°
Hartford: 90°
Islip: 93°
Manchester: 89° (old record: 87°, 1887)
New York City-Central Park: 92°
New York City-Central Park: 92°
New York City-Central Park: 92°
Newark: 96°
Norfolk: 94°
Philadelphia: 95° (old record: 94°, 1962 and 1996)
Portland: 89° (old record: 86°, 1959)
Poughkeepsie: 91° (tied record set in 1962 and tied in 1975)
Providence: 93°
Raleigh: 96° (tied record set in 2022)
Richmond: 96°
Washington, DC: 96° (tied record set in 1996)
Wilmington, DE: 95°

Thunderstorms will move through the region this evening and early tonight. In the wake of the frontal passage, tomorrow will see temperatures top out in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

Afterward, it will turn much cooler with highs only in the 60s on Friday through the weekend. Saturday could be rainy and particularly chilly. The temperature may remain in the 50s all day.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.8°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.9°C for the week centered around May 13. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.63°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.70°C. El Niño conditions are now in place. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -5.73 yesterday. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.160 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 58% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.6° (0.4° above normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 1.1° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Yeah, I see that as well.  Tree looked healthy while up but I noticed that too.
