  1. SPC overnight outlook seems uncertain for today. lots of the factors in play, which seems par for the course for us around here. If we can get out of the clouds and warm quickly today, it will bode well for us later.
  2. can you provide me with a good link for it? i haven't looked around to see if the paid sites have them or not. appreciate your insight, as always!
  3. you know those are all things we need every time and tend to fail on lol if i was in Scranton, id feel pretty good about seeing some severe tomorrow. ahh, i hadn't looked at either one of those. i've always considered them weenie models (i honestly don't know enough about them) I'd be happy with thunder, I know our chances down here aren't nearly as good as those in PA/NY. But still has a chance to be a fun event to watch unfold, even if we don't get the goods.
  4. it can work out if timing is right. otherwise if storms pop up they tend to become a blob of messiness vs discrete cells
  5. As usual for us down here, its all dependent on how north the warm sector gets before the cold front comes through. Need enough daytime heating and lift, otherwise we see nothing. PA has a better shot because they get the better ingredients near the warm front and the lift.
  6. yeah but its no better in PA. advertises a couple larger cells in NNE PA towards NJ, but that's it. its a very broken line of storms ahead of the front, with nothing popping up out ahead. very weird to see when there is an enhanced risk and strong wording from State college.
  7. LWX seems uncertain in their morning AFD https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=LWX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off State College though, their AFD is pretty good weenie material https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=CTP&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off 06z NAM is pretty boring, so we shall see today brings. But I think the further north you are, the better your chances of seeing something worth a damn. All the best stuff will be in PA
  8. SPC outlook for tomorrow -- enhanced baby! more details soon. HM was tweeting about it last night, worth a look if you're bored.
  9. yes, public schools closed out there today. OU closed too.
  10. they have done well so far. saw a couple tornadoes friday, some structure saturday then traveled yesterday. looks like they will be in the texas panhandled area today. doubtful they head towards OKC.
  11. low was 39 for me too.
  12. The only issue i have had with tomatoes is having way too many! lol last year I had one Tiny Tim tomato plant that ended up taking up an entire corner of my 10x10 bed. But, as EJ mentioned, I have dealt with blossom rot (my squash, cucumbers and zucchini was hit hard by this last year). Last year when it happened we added crushed up Tums to the base of each plant to give some extra calcium and they bounced back. My veggie garden doubles as our brush pile in the off-season, so this year after we burned our brush, we tilled in crushed up tums with the ash/charcoal from burnt brush. then I lay garden fabric down and that's it. we have chicken wire that goes around to keep the animals out, as the garden is set away from the house. hopefully we don't have any blossom rot this year. fingers crossed. and the garden drains well so we never have standing water in it.
  13. I had my sprouts hanging out on the deck, and planted them Saturday too. I checked them yesterday, they seemed okay. Our veggie garden doubles as a brush pile, so we had to wait for a dry day to burn the brush, then a dryer day to till and stuff. But they are in the ground, so fingers crossed they will be okay.
  14. 2.89" the last five days
  15. happy to share! i highly recommend the one where the camcorder was set up inside a house as the tornado passed by. the noise!
  16. also, because its me, today is 20 years since this monster happened. https://www.ustornadoes.com/2019/05/03/may-3-4-1999-tornado-outbreak-and-the-bridge-creek-moore-f5/
  17. some nice storms that blew through the southern areas last night. just fringed up my way. JB shared this yesterday, beautiful pic.
