A storm in north Texas with three-body scatter spike, 3-4" hail possible, 70dbz

IMOGENE-ESSEX TORNADO Rating: EF-1 Max. Wind Speed: 110 mph Path Length: 19.72 miles Max. Tornado Width: 3130 yards Summary: The stronger of the two tornadoes began southwest of Imogene. The heaviest damage occurred south of town, where power poles were snapped, homes were damaged, and outbuildings were destroyed. The tornado narrowly missed Essex to the north, where more damage occurred to structures. The tornado turned northeast toward Nyman before lifting by the Montgomery County line. The tornado was quite wide, at roughly 1.75 miles at peak width, which is officially the widest tornado in Iowa's history. https://www.3newsnow.com/weather/weather-blog/thursdays-storms-saw-an-ef-3-in-the-omaha-area-and-iowas-widest-tornado-on-record

79 on the 10pm hourly obs at PIT. Warmest 10pm temp ever observed in April at PIT.

Potentially significant severe event setting up for MO/W IL on Sunday with instability/moisture being the main question. Potent, negatively tilted wave quickly ejects across the S Plains during the afternoon and a 50+ kt LLJ provides very strong low level shear ahead of the Pacific front most of the day.

I bet it is. Thank God I retired :p

Perfect weather to deliver packages!

Low of 47.1 at 6:30am, high of 82.9 at 4:50pm.

Big yawn of a storm system here. Ended up with a trace.

Low at FOX was 25 https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KFOK.html MJX https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KMJX.html

Well I mean ya just gave a rather fatalistic "The future is now and they blew it" as if it were no coming back for this group, so I didn't know what you meant, lol And I totally agree on the pitching--these dumpster moves ain't it, man. And even bringing in a veteran hitter that's actually good would help too. These young guys need leadership--and that's what's been lacking the last year or so. The best teams have found that balance of young and veteran and we haven't yet.

A wet inch here, nothing to write home about except for the unseasonable warmth and all the flowers out earlier this week. Total moisture 0.09" at both DEN and APA.

Weird, they have been out here for at least a week, maybe even 10 days

got to love it! perfect day for a hike, I'm probably going to do something relatively easy Saturday: Saturday is shaping up to be one of the warmest days thus far in the year 2025, as the warm front passing to our north will leave behind anomalously warm low-level temperatures by mid- April standards. 925 mb temps tomorrow will be warming to around +16-18C, with temps at 850 mb around +12-14C. Even though we`ll still have a canopy of at least high clouds that may lead to more of a filtered-sun look, temps should soar well into the 70s to low 80s away from the South Coast/Cape and Islands (60s). Quite a bit different than last Saturday when we were mired in gray overcast and in the mid 30s to low 40s! The warm temperatures will be met by continued SWly breezes, around 25-30 mph.

What are you talking about? I love this team. It’s a great core. My point is, and has been, back these guys up with the pitching they (and the fans) deserve.

New ownership could choose to fire him, ya know...(perhaps he has a leash for this year, but next year may be the hotseat). People are forgetting about that part--Rubenstein & Co. have been here barely a year, and they deserve to be given a chance, imo

First time ? They’ve been out for a month

Peepers peeping for the first time. Extremely late this year. Even the white throated sparrows started singing before them.

After seeing Elias's deadline deals last year and this past off-season what gives any confidence things will be better next year? Or the year after? He obviously knows how to scout and draft talented position players but what has he done with it? I thought he was going to follow Houstons blue print, but that stopped when it came time to pony up real money lol.

Just temper your expectations Barry.. A lot has to go right to have a hyperactive season in the Atlantic. but the trends are favorable right now - We had 20 named storms during a Strong El Nino 2 years ago, and we had 30 named storms 5 years ago. But there are a lot of factors that have to go right to generally get more than 16-17 in a season. I'd watch the NAO and Atlantic tripole in May.

Maybe not this year...but ya'll are acting like it's all over for the next 5 years, smh

What are you trying to imply here?

Elias likes your thinking.

What pisses me off the most is you've got all these Youngs guys making basically league minimum and Elias isn't willing to pay an ace. There was some options out there this past winter. Including the guy in Arizona. You are right. Elias totally blew it. This is not a good team as currently constructed.
