Radar loop of the Nebraska supercells last night for anyone interested. One of the crazier velocity loops you’ll ever see. Wouldn’t be surprised if that tornado was on the ground for 2-3 hours. https://x.com/peterc428/status/1916728473755828285?s=42 .

Can't believe May 1 is Thursday Just two more full days to get through

dang

Got down to 29.5 last night. Received 4.16" of rain for the month so far - things have begun to green up nicely even with the chilly temps.

Nebraska wedge was pretty insane from last night

I'm thinking back over the last decade or 2. And that was a rough 10 minute stretch in the second period for the special teams. But they did pull it out with a great 3rd period.

Looks like a livestormchasing.com dog walk stream sesh will be going down later

WOFS should be running this afternoon: looks like the first run will come out around 1700z: https://cbwofs.nssl.noaa.gov/Forecast?model=WOFSRun20250428-132559d1&rd=20250428&rt=202504281700&product=comp_dz__paintballs_thresh_40&sector=wofs

Already 66F off another frosty night of 30F. Easy 40F diurnal swing incoming.

i had not really slept in 3 months. I would fall asleep and wake back up. I never had a panic attack but i assume thats what it feels like. My heart would racing. The ER Dr said that could have been a missed sign, as i was in A-Fib. i have to assume that all checked out ok for you. The Doctors and nurses at PSU Hampden saved my life. They had no idea what was wrong and started treating me broadly while they honed on the problem. No dude was a Cath installed, but after they inserted that, they took 7.5 liters of liquid off me in 12 hours..Think about that That was the first night i fell asleep and slept all night. My daughter told me the next morning my brother told her after i fell asleep he's alright, he is finally sleeping(ICU allowed 2 people at a time) but they loved me and let everyone in, and i had no idea the room was filled. Hell didn't want me and heaven wasn't ready for me. and now everyday is a Holiday for me. Good luck my friend.

1st 70F day

72 feels cool in the shade Humidity in the upper teens

I have an Echo scheduled for next week. Every test for every possible answer has come back negative so far. Some of my symptoms are mildly better but I still have chest issues. I was awakened at 3:30 this morning with my heart racing. I was able to calm myself down and fall back asleep about 90 minutes later. I very much appreciate your advice. I've been in and out of the doctor's several times. I'm calling again after lunch. Your story is incredibly scary. I had no idea the extent of your illness. Obviously very happy that you made it through all of that.

We walked 23,000 steps yesterday and my calves are dying today. Getting old is a bummer, isn't it?

Sorry to hear Mike. Chris is right, last year i was diagnosed for 5 FING months of a sinus infection. I was at my doct. or urgent care over 10 times in 5 months, turns out i had Pneumonia. The misdiagnosis almost killed me. when i went to ER, i was in Heart, liver and kidney failure i was also septic. not to mention my A1C was at 15. they told my family they had no idea how i was alive and to prepare as they didn't think i'd make it. If you're not getting results you want, force them to broadly test, for EVERYTHING. when they did my Echo, my ejection fraction was 8% normal is like 55-60%. You don't need opinions, you need answers. God i hope you get answers.

and clear blue skies

if we had a dry pattern though why did we still have an onshore flow? usually you need a downsloping flow for it to be that dry like 1966 was.

up to 73 here-another beaut!

Don’t fight summer . It’s here . Enjoy the best season

The reason why some of the more extreme climate forecasts from the 70s and 80s did not verify is because we have natural heat sinks in place (like the oceans) that store that extra heat energy. I liken it to a busted severe weather forecast that failed because the cap did not break. However, those natural systems can only hold for so long and at some point the cap will break and then we'll see an accelerated greenhouse effect. Let's just hope it does not do that for a few decades yet.
