Sheet drizzle fest. 

wtf happened last night? it got downright scary here!

The power went out here three times in the heavy rain between 1 AM and 2:30 AM! There were very bright flashes visible outside when the power went out each time, the entire sky turned white-- but it was not lightning! The power went out only for a second each time but scary!

I thought there were explosions happening inside my house because the bright white light outside was so bright it seemed like it came from inside the house.  By the second and third time I knew it was outside because the entire sky lit up bright white when it happened and each time my power went out for a brief second and it messed up my cable box which needed to be rebooted and I had to manually turn my computer and TV back on.  My UPS also turned off and had to be manually turned back on.

very crazy leaf out this year.

 

Obviously started early with the warmth. then stopped and got late with the cold.

 

But I live in a very wooded house and we moved in on 5/1 several years ago, and now relative to past years, we have full blown thick foliage.

 

One of the weirdest springs I’ve seen

First time since 1965 and 1943 that Newark had a 90° or warmer high and a max under 55° during the first week of May. So plenty of contrast between the warm ups and back doors. Most other years had 80° days either side of the 90° day. Our last El Niño to La Niña transition in 2010 had 6 consecutive days over 80° to start the month.

I was told transformers exploded because of the rain.  When it stopped raining around 3 AM the power fluctuations stopped.  The low humming also finally stopped.

The infrastructure around here is really bad.

There's a motion detector light I have downstairs that's only supposed to turn on when it detects movement..... well when this happened last night, the light got permanently stuck to ON.... I have NO idea how that happened!

Records:

 

Highs:

 

EWR: 93 (1949)
NYC: 92 (1986)
LGA: 93 (1949)
JFK:  88 (1986)


Low:

EWR:  40 (1967)
NYC: 32 (1891)
LGA: 41 (1967)
JFK: 37 (1992)

Historical:

 

1876: A tornado, estimated at F3 intensity, tracked four miles across Chicago, Illinois. The damaged buildings included a candy factory, a hospital, a freight depot, and a church. The tornado moved out over Lake Michigan and was observed to have multiple vortices by a reporter. Further south in Illinois, a tornado blew a moving passenger train off the tracks near Neoga, injuring all 19 people aboard. 

1933 - Charleston, SC, was deluged with 10.57 inches of rain, an all- time 24 hour record for that location. (The Weather Channel)

1937: The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. Of the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), there were 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen). One worker on the ground was also killed, making a total of 36 deaths. The Hindenburg was delayed two hours from docking due to thunderstorms in the area.

1975 - A massive tornado hit Omaha, NE, killing three persons, injuring 133 others, and causing 150 million dollars damage. The tornado struck during the late afternoon moving northeastward through the industrial and residential areas of west central Omaha, and lifting over the northern section of the city. The twister, which cut a swath ten miles long and as much as a quarter of a mile wide, was the mostly costly in U.S. history up til that time. (David Ludlum)

1987 - Eighteen cities in California and Oregon reported record high temperatures for the date. Highs of 91 degrees at Portland OR, 101 degrees at Medford OR, and 104 degrees at Sacramento CA, were the warmest of record for so early in the season. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - A major storm brought high winds to the western half of the country. A wind gust of 74 mph at Pueblo CO broke their May record established just four days earlier, and winds in the Arapahoe Ski Basin area of Colorado reached 85 mph. In North Dakota, the high winds reduced visibilities to near zero in blowing dust closing many roads. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Sixteen cities in the north central U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. Morning lows of 17 at Bismarck ND and 26 at Minneapolis MN were the coldest of record for so late in the season. A reading of 43 degrees at the start of the Kentucky Derby was the coldest in 115 years of records. Light snow was reported in the Upper Midwest, with an inch reported at Chicago IL. (The National Weather Summary)

1990 - Snow and high winds prevailed behind a Pacific cold front crossing the northwestern U.S. Wind gusts above 50 mph were reported in southeastern Idaho, and heavy snow blanketed the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, with twelve inches reported at Stampede Pass. (The National Weather Summary)

Tomorrow and Wednesday will be unseasonably warm days with readings reaching the upper 70s and lower 80s across the region with the highest readings likely in and around Philadelphia. Overall, the first week of May will very likely wind up warmer than normal. Another shot of cooler air wil likely arrive on Thursday.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.8°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.5°C for the week centered around May 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.08°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.85°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is fading. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring.

The SOI was +6.22 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.285 today.

Radar exploding over western Oklahoma.  Going to be a dangerous and scary night for people out there.  Good amount of rotation going on already.

Yep and from the looks of things there might be a lot of nighttime tornadoes which are the worst from a casualty standpoint. Scary is right, and looks headed right for the OKC-Wichita corridor.
