Just got through the leading edge. Haven’t lost power yet. Might have dodged a bit of a bullet 

 

and weirdly no lighting at all 

Same, pretty gusty but not even a rumble of thunder. Looks like the line is rapidly weakening. Also seems to have split right before it hit my area which is a fairly common occurrence.

1 for 6 on severe threats thus far.  Aside from the other night when it was raining ice cubes, not much to speak of during these events, locally.  Mostly outflow winds.

There was definitely a tornado in eastern Ohio last night, however.  Evident on radar and supposedly there was a brief video.

Not sure I’m buying the temperature observations at PIT this morning. Jumped from 59 to 67 between the 7 and 8 am hourly observations. Everywhere else seemed to stay steady.

Looks like the nearby personal weather stations had a similar jump at that time. Possible heat burst from collapsing showers? This one Imperial went up above 65F and since cratered below 59F.

Wow that’s a nearly 20 degree jump overnight.

With PIT failing to hit freezing this morning, we probably have one more shot at it on Thursday, which is trending warmer. Our last freeze on 4/7 would be tied for 11th earliest last freeze on record.

Brutal. Fell all the way from 2nd to 5th place on the MTD warmest list, with yesterday's cooldown. I fear we're going to fall pretty dramatically over the next few days. :(

Look at all these recent years in the top 8 though! And people will still make up nonsense about how spring is always cool. :lol:

If the forecast for the rest of the month is correct, we will finish with a mean temperature for the month of about 56.2F, which would be good for 7th warmest of record. Since 1955, only 2017 (57.3F) saw a warmer April. Also still a good chance at the #1 wettest April on record.

Probably going to come down to Tuesday. Rain seems to be done for today and we still need 0.19” to set that record. So one more shot at this. It’s actually incredible that we could fall short when we only needed half an inch of rain with 16 days left in the month.

PIT has done the improbable and scored an 80 today, with probably 2 more to come. This is now the 4th straight April with 4+ 80 degree days, which had never happened in four consecutive years before.
