All Activity

we live in the lower Mid-Atlantic - 80s in Spring with low humidity is pretty common.

I remember a freeze close to Memorial Day one year back in the 1990s in Staunton

Yes thats a distinct possibility.

Some monthly records through today: The updated graph for Phoenix is below:

Do you think part of the issue with why we couldn't get any storms to really build was that second area of CIN? Seems like we managed to get storms to begin development but struggle to get past the shower stage so maybe that's the reason why.

He's a mythical beast from south-central. pennsylvania. It only comes out of its hole during snow and thunderstorms, and can often be seen digging in mulch. 5'7" 190 lbs of smelly, harry, man beast. Like other hole dwelling primates, it seeks out psychoactive plants and you generally don't want to see it anywhere near your house. It's generally extremely friendly but can become highly aggressive when agitated. I highly recommend you don't shoot at it if you see it, that smelly basterds packing heat.

Well they technically had 102° yesterday.

Some of that must be UHI enhanced I'd imagine

Beat the daily record by 10 and previous March "first 100" by 5

"833-HOW-RUDE" LOL That is hilarious, haha

105° at PHX today. You have to go to May 2 to find a temperature record warmer than that.

Then again, he predicted a snowstorm too

2015-16 winter incoming

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the legendary., Punxsutawney Bill. He also made the same call.

That would give us 90F so no thanks

Today Flagstaff had a high temp four degrees higher than their April record high…

+1, if I had more time and money, I would have put in radiant

This might be of particular interest for those of you that have plans tomorrow. As mentioned nothing severe this far East at this point, but some isolated week convection is apparently possible. Nws forecast discussion about tomorrow afternoon and evening thunderstorm risk. 913 PM EDT Thu Mar 19 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... *SPC has introduced a MRGL risk for severe thunderstorms across the Laurel Highlands and SW PA valid Friday afternoon and evening && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) A broken line of thunderstorms across central and western PA is likely late Friday afternoon and into Friday evening, following a widespread light to moderate rain earlier in the day. 2) Cold frontal passage Sunday should make widespread rain showers perhaps ending as a brief period of snow across the north, followed by windy and colder temps on Monday. && .DISCUSSION... 1) A broken line of thunderstorms across central and western PA is likely late Friday afternoon and into Friday evening, following a more widespread light rain earlier in the day. A Clipper system embedded within strong mid and upper level flow will cross through the Great Lakes and into New York State on Friday. Isentropic ascent with PW values rising to near 0.75 inch will likely result in an area of stratiform light to moderate rain moving from NW to SE during the afternoon. As a cold front approaches during the evening hours, a broken line of showers (east) and thunderstorms (west) is expected to form on the back edge of the precip area, perhaps with a dry break between the two areas of rainfall. With 850 hPa flow between 30 and 40 kts and a few hundred Joules of MLCAPE, isolated severe wind gusts can not be ruled out particularly across the Laurels and points southwest. Total QPF is progged between 0.25 and 0.50 inch. High temps will end up about 10F milder than the previous day (49-63F across the CWA fm N to S)

80s in April. F that. Plenty of time for heat. Let's do 50s and 60s for about 4 weeks

SPC is advertising the slight chance of garden variety, thunderstorms in our area tomorrow, and some limited severe activity from the ohio valley into southwestern pennsylvania. They even had mention of a very slight tornado risk out that way. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html

April is Spring. Fucking 80s? GTFOH. But ofc we will , because we do premature heat better than anything. Okay, 80s and humid with a Bermuda High in April it is. Then 5+ months more of heat. Sure, bring it, I guess.

MLI tagged 70. The 7 inches there from Monday is toast.
