CAPE

Heavy rain here and some thunder, but I slept right through most of it. Looks like the better t-storms were south and east of here. Still picked up 0.87".

Heard some thunder here and heavy rain, but I slept trough it mostly. Picked up 0.87" . Just guessing, but probably any convection with wind potential was south of here.

I'll take it, just not the wind. Just finished cleaning up twigs and branches and tree debris all over the driveway, yard, deck..

Temp has jumped up to 75 after being in the mid 60s for most of the day.

Mount Holly AFD Yeah because I didn't get enough wind on Thursday. Let the severe stuff sink just south. That's what I expect to be the case.

I still have the one in the fridge...might not survive the next 24 hours.

Well thats the difference between those 2 yes. The 90 defo has a big malt backbone by comparison. But you ain't seen nothing yet, until you try the 120. Insane amount of hops and barley. The latter gives you the sweet, smooth balance, and the 18% abv.

As i have said here before, the 120 bears little resemblance to the 90. The 60 and 90 are fairly similar, but the 90 is better though imo. Going to the 120 from there puts you in a different world. Its a good world, though.

Make a stop at that place I told you about on Kent Island next week on your way to RAR. You can pick it up there, among lots of other good stuff.

Yeah I gotta go with the 120 too, but I really like the Raison. Odd to compare them, as one is an IPA, the other a dark Belgian. But there are notable similarities, and the 120 is not your ordinary IPA, not by a long shot. The WWS is hard to beat if you are into a high gravity stout. I am way into the HG sippers in general.

Not a bad move.

DFH Raison D'Extra Stuff is so good. Love the smell. Its like a dark fruit version of the 120. Might sound weird, but if you like the 120, you might like this better.

Liquor store on Kent Island called The Winery has a nice selection of craft beers, and a bunch of singles to build your own 6 pack. That's where I got my DFH high gravity trifecta the other day. They also keep a few local beers on tap you can get via growler.

So far I am doing well saving my high gravity DFH triplets. More KBS for happy hour today..

Well, you know. Its how we roll.

By the time the rain finally made it here, it got picked up by that southern wave and was in and out of here quick. Rained pretty hard but only lasted 3 hours. Still picked up 0.85", and that was plenty. Hopefully tomorrow delivers. Looks like the potential for a perfect early May day. Then maybe again on Monday.

It was sunny and dry all day here yesterday until late afternoon. Ofc the wind was blowing 55 mph and tree crap was flying all over the place..

There is a slight chance of showers in the forecast, and the mesos basically had/have that area of rain disintegrating. Guess I will find out lol.

Well that whipped through quick. Brief gusty storm. Better part of the line went just to my SW. Just a tenth of an inch of rain.

Warning here. Lots of thunder and wind picked up dramatically.

Full sun here the last couple hours.

Thoughts from Mt Holly for tomorrow- Interesting weather shaping up for Tue with a strong cold front attached to a strong H5 trough expected to swing thru the area during the afternoon. The latest SWODY2 has upgraded our CWA to a slight risk for severe with strong winds and small hail the main threats. There is plenty of cold air aloft and strong winds for tstms, but the overall moisture and instability is limited, so we`ll have to wait and see how things unfold Tue morning.

A bit dated but I just saw this. The shot I took above is looking towards Baltimore corner, where it touched down. My thought at the time was most likely a rain shaft, but that was probably the location of the tornado as well.

Very similar looking.

Was a pretty ordinary storm with heavy rain and some gusty winds here. If there was rotation it was just NE of me. If you look closely you can see a turkey buzzard gliding out in front.
