It only gets worse from here.

I do think they’ll be more clouds up your way.

It’s mostly sunny here just high clouds expecting 82-87 here. Will be on the baseball fields for 10 hours today bring on the heat! This evening looks like mid summer with temps in the 70s with moderate humility and some thunder showers around.

Got hammered between 6:30-6:50 (EDT) this morning. Caught 0.53" in that timeframe, with pea sized hail and some great lightning. The hardest I've seen it rain in a long time. Nice way to wake up on a Saturday morning.

And yeah, I pulled out cloud clowns. lol But upstream looks fairly putrid early. I suppose we don’t need many breaks with a warm airmass to get enough mixing for 75-85, but I’d rather have yesterday than this on the weekend.

HRRR always overdoes clouds.. it’s also way overdone on those storms this evening. Nothing else has anything like that .

Further west, 1 to 3 feet of snow and 50 to 60 mph winds caused drifts up to 10 feet, widespread power outages, and livestock losses.

Another day of wind and clouds. At least it's not cold with wind and clouds. It's been cloudy for a year.

Hope so. Tough way to run 80s in mid April. I’m primed and ready to blow a gasket midday over failed heat.

Some of this cirrus probably breaks up a bit this aftn.

Gets close to the warm season and already clouds invade NNE.

67 / 52 and cloudy. Very warm and windy low - mid 80s pending on breaks in the clouds and sun. Front comes through later tonight. Cooler but pleasant Easter Sunday. Monday looks to be caught in the grey with temps stuck near 60. Tuesday back to the upper 70s / low 80s and sunshine. Rindge into the east and overall above normal 4/18 - 4/26. Remaining dry as well 02.5 or less rainfall forecast in the next 7 days with Thu.Fri the next shot at light rain.

Also, the 7 am temperature of 74F was the highest observation for that time at PIT.

Vis looks like shit. Min 48.5° and we haven’t risen much from that.

Nearly 1 month later and this is still the dominant pattern.

Maybe the lack of coupling was related to what happened last summer.

Lmao is that why Lezak had been getting the predictions closest to reality compared to the mainstream forecasters he was the only one to predict close to 18 NS last year when everyone else said 30+ that’s why I’m standing with Lord Lezak and I stick with my numbers

I did it

I love it, we finally turned the corner. Feel so good so naked so free.

Man, even the oak buds are swelling. Norways are starting to go wild. Leaf out rapid.

Maybe 90

Mid to upper 80s today for the warm spots with very steep lapse rates and gusts approaching 40 mph. But it will be a warm WSW wind instead of the cold NW winds we have recently been getting. So the strongest winds ahead of the front for a change instead of behind it.
