Had .21 rain last night.

I live at a low spot surrounded by hills so I typically don't see those strong winds. Last nights gust was 34 for me at the house. My son had a gust to 50 and he lives 3 miles as the crow flies from me. And he lives in the open on a hill.

The graph you posted doesn’t take into account the SST changes I mentioned in my earlier posts which affect the calculations. Plus the study I posted about the recent shift. Model forecasts show the duration of the PDO phases becoming more erratic as the climate continues to warm.

Wife and I are going (pending my health) to the Phillies - Diamondbacks game on Sunday. What looked like a stellar day is also going down the tube. Sigh.

That line was far, far more intense to the north of Harrisburg than down this way...I had .02" of rain and a top wind gust of 11 mph. (during the actual "storm")

It’ll probably rain , but any of the flooding stuff won’t happen into SNE. Maybe mid Atlantic

That G might pop into a O

there must be quite a bit of damage up in the mountain from the storm. I can smell it. I smelled it last night and this morning. The smell of fresh cut leaves. This smell smells exactly like that time back in the 90's when we had that hail storm. We had hail on the ground 2 hours after the storm. And I spent 3 days raking up leaves, in early June from that storm. and that tree snapping an the sound of trees hitting the ground last evening was scary.

No, it isn't a fact...I, along with everyone else in this thread, is denying it. The graph I posed clearly shows no discernible difference, and continues to have ENSO triggered deviations from the longer term, multidecadal tendency.

Or throwing themselves off Noah’s ark.

Eh....actually the "overdone" trend has been limted largely to winter over the course of the past several years...these blocking episodes have had no problem coming to frution and producing during the spring. Not even being sarcastic, either.

There is a good deal of wind damage to trees in my area from last nights storm.

Im afraid I won't have power until the weekend

The PDO actually shifted during those years which is an undeniable fact. So there hasn’t been a continuous -PDO from 1998 to 2025 like we had from the 1950s to 1970s. So the character and duration of the PDO intervals is different from the mid to late 1900s.

NWS State College was late to the party again the 2nd time this year on Severe Thunderstorm Warning for my location. They issued the warning while the storm was already in progress at my location.

Of course the drought relief compes over the weekend Its a work week drought...the weekends have had folks throwing benders on Noah's ark.

Wow. Tragic https://www.wtaj.com/news/local-news/man-electrocuted-killed-after-storm-damaged-lines-in-centre-county/

Columbia 4/30/25, 8am. Already shorts-appropriate temps outside. Def had rain overnight but 0.00” in the gauge. Plants and grass nicely watered however.

LOL, looking at visible sat just now, the weather today is brought to you by the letter 'G', floating across southern Virginia.

Had a shower (no thunder) shortly after midnight, then again just around sunrise, but only 0.05 in the gauge. Guess that is better than zero. Currently 60.4/58.8 and cloudy at 8 am.

AFAIC, the PDO continues to cycle as it always has.....if we are still immersed in a -PDO cycle well into the next decade, then I'll reconsider. I am not trying to imply that you make baseless claims, so your presentation of peer reviewed literature doesn't suprise me. You and the identified authors may end up 1000% correct...I'm just not as condident that they will as you are.

Wet weather incoming - though not the crazy amounts that the Euro was spitting out. Also, those pretty blues out west in the Sierra? Yeah baby, a May snowstorm incoming to Mammoth this weekend:

Okay, large leap of faith on your part, as well as the authors of said studies.

His dry and warm forecast might be in trouble as well.
